Privacy Policy

Hindu Matrimonial USA ("HMUSA", "we", "us", or "our") is a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that hosts in-person matrimonial events for Hindu, Jain, and Sikh singles across the USA and Europe. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website, event registrations, and SMS/text messaging program, how we use it, and the choices you have.

• Contact details you provide when you register for an event or contact us: name, email, phone number, city, and age range.
• Profile details relevant to matrimonial events: gender, education, profession, and family background where you choose to share them.
• Payment metadata for event fees or donations (processed by our payment provider; we do not store card numbers).
• Technical data such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, collected automatically to keep the site secure and functional.
• SMS opt-in data including your mobile number, the date/time of your consent, and the source of that consent (registration form or explicit opt-in checkbox).

• To process event registrations and send confirmations.
• To send you event updates, reminders, and important logistical information.
• To respond to your inquiries and provide customer support.
• To improve our website, events, and community programs.
• To comply with legal, tax, and nonprofit reporting obligations.

When you opt in to receive text messages from HMUSA, we collect and use your mobile number solely to send you the messages described in our SMS Terms. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP, or reply HELP for assistance.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing with subcontractors that support our services (for example, customer service providers) is permitted. All other categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

We use essential cookies to keep the site working and, where enabled, privacy- respecting analytics to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

We share personal information only with service providers that help us operate the website and events, including:

• Twilio — SMS/text message delivery.
• Lovable Cloud — website hosting, database, and authentication.
• Zoho — contact form and email communications.
• Payment processors for event fees and donations.

We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and property of HMUSA, our attendees, and the public.

We retain your information for as long as needed to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You may request deletion at any time (see "Your Rights" below).

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and you may withdraw consent for SMS or email at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

Our services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
