1. DATA CONTROLLER

Perfect Match B.V. is the data controller for all personal data processed under this Privacy Policy.

For privacy-related questions, requests, or complaints, you may contact: malaika@advancedrelationshipskills.com

2. SYSTEMS AND PLATFORMS WE USE (FULL DISCLOSURE)

Perfect Match B.V. uses the following third-party platforms and service providers in the normal operation of its business:

Email marketing and customer relationship management are conducted through ActiveCampaign and/or GetResponse.

Payments are processed through PayPal, Stripe, and/or ThriveCart. Perfect Match B.V. does not store full credit card numbers.

Digital products and course access are delivered through ThriveCart Learn.

Scheduling of calls and sessions is handled through Calendly and Zoom.

Website analytics and performance monitoring are conducted through Google Analytics.

Business communications are conducted through Google Workspace, including email and document storage.

Automated transactional and service-related messages may be sent through ActiveCampaign, ThriveCart, or related integrated systems.

These providers act as data processors or independent controllers under their own terms. We use these services because they are widely used, commercially reputable, and claim compliance with applicable data protection laws.

3. MATCHMAKING PROFILES AND PURPOSE OF COLLECTION

When you submit personal data to Perfect Match B.V. for matchmaking purposes, including profile forms, written descriptions, questionnaires, or photographs, you are submitting a matchmaking profile.

You acknowledge and agree that the core purpose of collecting this data is to operate our matchmaking services. This includes reviewing, storing, assessing, and privately sharing profiles with our clients for the purpose of introductions, evaluation of compatibility, and service delivery.

If you do not want your profile or photos to be shared privately with clients for matchmaking purposes, you must not submit a profile and must not engage our matchmaking services.

4. PRIVATE SHARING OF PROFILES (NO PUBLICATION)

Perfect Match B.V. may share submitted profiles and photographs privately with individual clients or small groups of clients as part of our matchmaking services.

We do not publish matchmaking profiles publicly. We do not post profiles openly on our website. We do not release phone numbers, home addresses, government identification, or sensitive personal documents to the public.

Private sharing means controlled distribution to clients for service purposes. We cannot guarantee that recipients will not save, screenshot, or misuse information after receiving it, but we do not authorize such misuse.

5. PHOTOGRAPHS, IMAGE RIGHTS, AND CONSENT

When you submit photographs to Perfect Match B.V., you confirm that you own the photographs or have the legal right to submit them.

You grant Perfect Match B.V. a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store and privately share those photographs with our clients for matchmaking purposes.

This license exists solely so we can provide the service you requested. You retain ownership of your photographs.

Perfect Match B.V. will not use your photographs for public marketing unless you give explicit written authorization. If you authorize photo use in emails or marketing materials, we will use the photos only in the manner you approved.

If photos are shared by email, you understand that email recipients may forward messages. We cannot control actions taken by recipients after delivery.

6. SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT AND META PLATFORMS

If you have published photographs or content on Instagram or Facebook, that content is subject to the terms and licenses of Meta Platforms, Inc. You generally retain ownership of your content while granting Meta a broad license to host and distribute it.

Perfect Match B.V. does not control Meta platforms. We cannot remove content from Instagram or Facebook on your behalf. Any requests relating to content hosted on Meta platforms must be directed to Meta directly through their tools and policies.

We are not responsible for Meta’s handling of your content.

7. DATA RETENTION AND DELETION REQUESTS (VERY IMPORTANT)

Perfect Match B.V. maintains business records.

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to operate our business, deliver services, maintain accurate records, comply with legal and accounting obligations, prevent fraud, enforce agreements, and protect our legal interests.

If you submit personal data to our database, including a matchmaking profile, communications, or transaction records, that data becomes part of our business records.

Requests such as “delete my profile,” “delete all my data,” or similar requests do not automatically require deletion. We may lawfully refuse deletion requests where we have a valid legal basis to retain the data, including contractual necessity, legal obligations, legitimate interests, or the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Where deletion is not legally required, we may retain your data even if you request deletion. In such cases, we may limit active use of the data, restrict processing, or archive it for recordkeeping and legal purposes.

Unsubscribing from emails stops marketing communications but does not delete business records.

8. MARKETING EMAILS AND COMMUNICATIONS

If you opt in to receive emails, we may send marketing, educational, or service-related communications through ActiveCampaign or GetResponse.

Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. You may unsubscribe at any time.

Transactional emails related to purchases, access, or legal notices may still be sent where necessary.

9. PAYMENTS AND TRANSACTION RECORDS

Payments are processed through PayPal, Stripe, or ThriveCart. We receive confirmation and limited billing details needed for records and support.

Transaction records may be retained for accounting, tax, dispute resolution, and fraud prevention purposes for legally required periods.

10. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Perfect Match B.V. operates from the Netherlands. Some of our service providers process data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States.

Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

By using our services, you acknowledge that your data may be processed internationally under these safeguards.

11. SECURITY

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including secure platforms, access controls, and encryption where appropriate.

No system is perfectly secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. If a data breach occurs that poses a risk, we will comply with applicable notification requirements.

12. YOUR RIGHTS UNDER GDPR

Where GDPR applies, you may have rights to access, correction, restriction, objection, portability, and deletion in limited circumstances.

Deletion is not absolute. We may refuse deletion where legally permitted.

You may lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).

13. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND PLATFORMS

Our websites and communications may contain links to third-party platforms. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies directly.

14. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. Continued use of our services means you accept the updated version.
