Trust, Privacy & Transparency on Ishkzen
Privacy-first affiliation means transparency — here is exactly how Ishkzen handles your information and earns trust.
Guide
Connection apps ask for your photos, preferences, and sometimes government ID. That is a lot of trust. Ishkzen is built privacy-first: we explain what we collect, who can see it, and how verification works — without hiding behind vague marketing language.
Our privacy promise in one sentence
We use your data to run a safe, intentional affinity discovery service — we do not sell it, we do not expose your ID to other members, and you choose when to reveal more of yourself.
What makes Ishkzen different from algorithm-driven apps
- Conversation-first: chat before you feel pressured to show everything
- Identity reveal controls: open up when trust is mutual
- Protected verification uploads: selfie and ID reviewed by admins only
- Separate approval vs verified badge: joining the platform ≠ identity verified
- Reporting and blocking built in — safety is part of the product
What we collect and why
Account email and hashed password let you sign in securely. Profile fields and photos power matching. Connection preferences and optional biodata improve compatibility. Messages deliver chat. Verification documents confirm you are real when you opt in. Technical logs help us prevent abuse and fix bugs.
Government ID and selfies — who sees them?
Only authorised Ishkzen team members reviewing verification. These files live in protected storage paths, require authentication to access, and never appear on your public profile card in Discover or Match. Other members see a verified badge only after our team confirms both a selfie and a KYC document.
No selling your personal information
Ishkzen does not sell your email, profile, chats, or documents to advertisers or data brokers. Third-party services we use — hosting, email delivery, push notifications, and optional AI providers when you use Dost or form assist — process data on our behalf to deliver features you request.
Your rights under India's DPDP Act
You can request access, correction, or deletion of your personal data. Email ishkzen.app@gmail.com from your account address. We verify identity before processing requests and respond within a reasonable time, keeping only what law or safety requires.
Stay safe and report problems
Trust also means removing bad actors. Use in-app report and block tools, or follow our Report & safety guide. Fake profiles, harassment, and scams are taken seriously.
