Constellation ("we", "us", "our") operates constellationmatch.com. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have. By creating an account, you agree to the practices described here.
1. What we collect
Account & profile information: name, age, gender, location, photos, and any bio details you choose to add.
Psychological assessment data: your responses to our compatibility questionnaire, based on established, validated instruments: the Big Five Inventory, the ECR-S attachment scale, and parenting-style research. This includes derived scores such as your attachment style, personality traits, and family-values orientation.
Usage data: messages you send to matches, reports you file, and basic technical data (device/browser type) needed to keep the service running securely.
2. How we use it
Your assessment data is used to calculate compatibility scores between you and other users. This calculation happens on our servers, not in your browser, so the scoring formula itself is never exposed to any user, including you.
We also use your data to operate core features (matching, messaging, requests), to keep the platform safe (reviewing reports, preventing abuse), and to improve the product over time.
3. What other users can see
Other users see your name, age, gender, location, photos, bio, your constellation "type" (a plain-language summary like "The Devotee"), and your compatibility percentage with them. Your raw questionnaire answers and detailed scores are never shown to other users. Only the final, summarized results are.
4. Where your data is stored
Your data is stored with a reputable cloud database provider, hosted in the ap-south-1 (Mumbai) region. We use industry-standard access controls (Row-Level Security) so that only you can access or edit your own profile and assessment answers, and other users can only see the limited, summarized information described above.
5. Who we share data with
We do not sell your data. We share data only with service providers who help us run the platform (such as our hosting and database provider), and only to the extent needed to provide the service. We may disclose information if required by law, or to protect the safety of our users.
When you share your location, your coordinates are sent to LocationIQ to determine your general area (e.g. your city or neighborhood). This is the only purpose that data is used for, and your precise coordinates are never shown to other users.
6. Your rights
You can review and update your profile and preferences at any time from "My Profile."
You can request a copy of the data we hold about you.
You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us; see below.
7. Age requirement
Constellation is for adults only. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. Accounts found to belong to minors will be removed.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the product evolves. If we make material changes, we'll let you know before they take effect.
