Ihappydate Dating Privacy Policy
This dating privacy policy explains in plain English what data Ihappydate collects, why we collect it, and the choices you have. Good dating site data protection should be easy to read, not buried in fine print.
Ihappydate is for adults 18+ only.
Privacy in Plain English: The Short Version
- We collect only what we need to run the quiz and the service.
- You choose which cookies to allow.
- You can ask to access or delete your data.
- We explain any recurring billing before you pay.
- You must be 18 or older to use Ihappydate.
What Data We Collect
Our dating privacy policy starts with a simple rule: we ask for what we need and nothing extra. Here is what we may collect.
| Data type | Examples | Why we collect it |
|---|---|---|
| Quiz answers | Preferences you choose to share, like interests and what you are looking for | To show you relevant matches |
| Account and contact details | Details you provide when you sign up | To create and run your account |
| Cookies and similar technologies | Small files stored on your device | To keep the site working and, with your OK, to improve it |
| Analytics and device data | Pages viewed, browser type, general device information | To understand and improve the experience |
| Messages to support | What you write when you contact us | To answer and resolve your request |
Quiz answers
Your quiz answers are the heart of how matching works. You decide what to share, and we use the answers to find people who fit what you want.
Cookies
Cookies are small files that help a site remember your choices. We explain your options in the cookie section below.
Analytics
Analytics show us which parts of the site are helpful and which are confusing. We only use analytics cookies if you accept them.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to make the service work for you. That includes:
- Showing relevant matches based on your quiz.
- Running and improving the service.
- Keeping the community safe and investigating reported profiles.
- Responding to your support requests.
- Sending service messages, like updates about your account.
We will not use your data in ways that are not described here without telling you first.
Your Cookie Choices
Our cookie banner shows Accept and Reject as equally prominent choices. They have the same size, the same contrast and the same effort to tap. Non-essential categories are never pre-checked.
Essential cookies
These keep the site working, for example by remembering your cookie choice and your light or dark mode setting. The site needs them to function.
Analytics cookies
These help us understand how people use the site. They stay off unless you choose Accept.
Changing your mind
You can change your choice anytime. Use the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page.
When We Share Data
We may share information with service providers who help us run the site, under contract: [provider categories, to be confirmed by the owner]. We may also share information when the law requires it, or when it is needed to protect someone's safety. We keep sharing to what is necessary for these purposes.
How Long We Keep Your Data
We keep your data only as long as we need it for the purposes above. Specific timeframes are: [retention period]. You can also ask us to delete your data sooner by contacting our support team.
Your US State Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA and Others)
California (CCPA/CPRA) and several other states give residents privacy rights over their personal information. In general terms, those rights include the following.
Right to delete
Ask us to delete personal information we collected from you.
Right to correct
Ask us to fix information that is wrong or out of date.
Right to opt out of sale or sharing
Tell us not to sell or share your personal information.
To make a request, contact us here and tell us which right you want to use. We will not treat you differently for using your rights.
How We Protect Your Data
We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, and we limit who can access it. Still, no online service is 100% secure, so we cannot promise absolute security. You can help by keeping your login details private and by being careful about what you share with people you meet online.
Adults Only: 18+
Ihappydate is only for people 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect data from minors, and we delete it if we learn of it. If you think a minor is using the site, please report it through our contact page.
Recurring Billing: Our Promise Before You Pay

-
Clear terms
We show the price, billing frequency and renewal terms before you pay.
-
Separate consent
We ask for your express consent, with no pre-checked boxes.
-
Easy online cancellation
