How Long We Retain Your Data
At VN MATCH, we value your privacy and aim to protect your data. Here’s a summary of how we manage and retain your information:
Account Closure and Data Deletion
  • If you stop using our service, you can close your account, and your profile will no longer be visible.
  • Accounts inactive for two years are automatically closed.
  • After closure, data is retained for specific purposes as outlined below.
Safety Retention Period
  • A three-month safety retention window follows account closure (or one year for account bans). This period allows us to investigate harmful or unlawful activity to protect our members and potential victims.
Legal Retention Obligations
  • Transaction data: Retained for 10 years for tax and accounting compliance.
  • Credit card information: Retained while the transaction can be disputed.
  • Traffic data/logs: Kept for one year to meet legal requirements.

  • Supporting customer care data and location of downloads/purchases: Kept for five years.
  • Past accounts and subscriptions: Retained for three years after the last account closure.
  • Profile data: Held for one year for potential litigation or legal claims.
  • Banned members: Relevant data is kept as long as necessary to prevent re-registration and ensure member safety.
Legal Proceedings and Requests
  • If required by a valid legal request (e.g., subpoenas), we may retain data to comply with legal obligations or as necessary for legal proceedings.
Anonymized Data
  • Non-identifiable data may be retained and used indefinitely to enhance services, develop features, and maintain platform safety.
This approach ensures compliance with laws, member safety, and operational transparency.
Children's Privacy
Our platform is exclusively for individuals aged 18 and above. We do not allow anyone under the age of 18 to use our service. If you suspect that a member is under 18, please report them using the in-app reporting feature. Your vigilance helps keep our community safe.
