How We Protect Your Data

DatingSkillss employs industry-leading security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using SSL/TLS protocols (256-bit encryption). Our servers are hosted in SOC 2-certified data centers with physical access controls, intrusion detection systems, and redundant backups.

Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis. All employees undergo background checks and mandatory data protection training. Our verification process - including photo ID review and live video confirmation - is handled by trained specialists in a secure environment, with verification documents deleted within 30 days of approval. We conduct regular third-party security audits and penetration testing to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services to you. If you delete your account, we will permanently erase your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (such as transaction records for tax compliance, which are retained for up to 7 years). Anonymized, aggregated data that cannot identify you may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes.
