Privacy Policy
Last updated: 28 August 2026
Welcome to Rishta Gher. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you provide when using our matrimonial platform.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and the choices available to you when using rishtagher.com.
By creating an account or using Rishta Gher, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
When you register for or use Rishta Gher, we may collect information that you provide directly to us.
This may include your name, email address, account country, gender, age or date-related profile information, marital status, location, education, occupation, religious or matrimonial preferences, family information, profile description, photographs, and other details you choose to include in a matrimonial profile.
Some information may be provided for another person where a parent, guardian, relative, or authorised family member creates or manages a matrimonial profile.
You should only provide information that you are authorised to share.
2. Account and Profile Information
Rishta Gher allows registered users to create and manage matrimonial profiles.
Information included in a profile may be visible to other users depending on the profile owner’s privacy settings, membership status, and the features available on the platform.
You are responsible for ensuring that the information you submit is accurate and that you have permission to publish any information relating to another person.
3. Profile Photographs
Users may upload photographs to their matrimonial profiles where this feature is available.
Some photographs may be visible only to logged-in members or may be kept private by the profile owner.
We use privacy controls intended to limit access to photographs according to the choices made by the member. However, users should understand that no online system can guarantee that content viewed by another person will never be copied, photographed, or shared outside the platform.
Please avoid uploading photographs or other material that you would not be comfortable sharing with permitted viewers.
4. Messages and Interests
Rishta Gher may allow members to express interest in another profile and, where permitted, communicate through private messaging.
Messages may be stored on our systems so that the messaging service can operate, disputes can be investigated, and platform safety rules can be enforced.
Private messages are not intended to be publicly displayed.
We may access or review messages where reasonably necessary for security, abuse prevention, user reports, legal compliance, or enforcement of our Terms and Conditions.
5. Contact Information
Certain membership plans or platform features may allow users to share contact information with other members.
Users should exercise care before sharing telephone numbers, email addresses, social-media details, addresses, or other personal contact information.
Once you voluntarily provide your contact details to another person, Rishta Gher cannot control how that person subsequently uses or stores that information.
6. Account Verification
Rishta Gher may offer or require account or identity verification features to help improve trust and safety.
Where verification information or supporting documents are submitted, they may be used to review the account, confirm information, prevent fraud, investigate misuse, or support platform safety.
Verification information is not intended to be displayed publicly unless we specifically indicate that a verification status or badge will appear on a profile.
We aim to restrict access to sensitive verification information to authorised purposes.
7. Memberships and Payments
Rishta Gher may offer free and paid membership plans.
When you purchase a paid membership, payment information may be processed by a third-party payment provider. Payment providers may collect information necessary to complete the transaction in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Rishta Gher may receive information such as payment status, transaction reference, amount, membership plan, payment date, or confirmation that a payment was successful.
Where payment card information is entered directly on a third-party payment provider’s secure checkout page, Rishta Gher does not receive the full card number.
For manual payment methods, we may retain information reasonably required to verify the payment and activate the relevant membership.
8. How We Use Your Information
We use personal information to operate and maintain Rishta Gher, create and manage accounts and profiles, provide matrimonial search and matching features, enable interests and messaging, process memberships and payments, provide customer support, carry out account verification, protect users from fraud or abuse, investigate reports, enforce our Terms and Conditions, improve the website, maintain platform security, and comply with legal obligations.
We do not intend to sell your personal information to third parties.
9. Profile Visibility and Search
Information that you place within a matrimonial profile may be displayed to other users according to the platform’s visibility and privacy controls.
Certain public-facing profile information may also be accessible through website pages that search engines can discover where those pages are intended to be public.
Sensitive information, private photographs, private messages, account-management pages, payment pages, and other restricted information are not intended to be made publicly searchable by search engines.
10. Cookies and Technical Information
Rishta Gher may use cookies and similar technologies to keep users logged in, maintain sessions, remember preferences, improve website functionality, protect against security threats, understand website usage, and support payment or other essential services.
We may also automatically receive technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, referring page, access time, and website activity.
Some cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly.
11. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, loss, or disclosure.
However, no website, database, or method of internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users should protect their account passwords and should not allow another person to access their account without permission.
12. Reporting, Blocking and Platform Safety
Rishta Gher provides features that may allow members to report or block other users.
When a report is submitted, we may retain information relating to the reported account, the reporting account, the reason for the report, and relevant platform activity so that we can investigate the matter and take appropriate action.
We may suspend, restrict, or remove accounts where necessary to protect users or enforce our rules.
13. Sharing of Information
We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate the website, process payments, provide hosting, maintain security, deliver communications, or provide other technical services.
Such providers may process information only as required to perform their services and subject to their applicable contractual and legal obligations.
We may also disclose information where required by law, court order, regulatory authority, or where reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, or security of Rishta Gher, our users, or others.
14. International Users
Rishta Gher may be used by individuals in the United Kingdom, Pakistan, and potentially other countries.
Your information may therefore be processed or stored in a country different from the country in which you live.
Where applicable, we aim to handle personal information in accordance with relevant data-protection requirements, including UK data-protection requirements for users whose information is protected by those laws.
15. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain your account, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud or abuse, and enforce our agreements.
Some information may be retained for a limited period after an account is closed where necessary for security, fraud prevention, payment records, legal compliance, or dispute resolution.
16. Account Deletion
Users may request deletion of their Rishta Gher account and associated personal information by using any account-deletion feature made available on the website or by contacting us.
When an account is deleted, we will take reasonable steps to remove or anonymise personal information that is no longer required.
Certain records may continue to be retained where required for legal, security, fraud-prevention, payment, or legitimate administrative purposes.
17. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and the laws applicable to you, you may have rights relating to your personal information.
These may include the right to request access to your information, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion, object to or restrict certain processing, or request information about how your personal data is used.
Where UK data-protection law applies, you may have additional rights under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.
Requests can be made through our Contact Us page.
18. Children’s Privacy
Rishta Gher is intended for adults seeking marriage and is not intended for children.
Users must meet the minimum age requirements stated in our Terms and Conditions and applicable law.
If we become aware that information has been submitted for an ineligible minor in violation of our rules, we may remove the relevant account or information.
19. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or use third-party services.
Rishta Gher is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of independent third parties. You should review the privacy policies of those services before providing them with personal information.
20. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, legal obligations, or privacy practices change.
When changes are made, the revised version will be published on this page and the “Last updated” date may be changed accordingly.
We encourage users to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
