YorYor Telegram Mini App — Privacy Policy
March 24, 2026
YorYor is built for Uzbek people worldwide — whether you're in Tashkent, New York, Istanbul, or Seoul — with deep respect for Uzbek culture, Islamic values, and the sacred intention of nikoh (marriage) and sovchilik (traditional matchmaking). We know your privacy isn’t just about data — it’s about trust, family honor (sharaf), and halal intentions. This policy explains how we handle your information in a way that aligns with Uzbekistan’s Law “On Personal Data” (No. ZRU-317, 2021), international best practices, and the unique context of our Telegram Mini App platform.
1. Information We Collect
As a Telegram Mini App, YorYor accesses only the data you explicitly share or that Telegram provides with your consent — nothing more, nothing hidden. We collect minimal, purpose-driven information to support serious matchmaking rooted in Uzbek tradition and Islamic ethics.
Your Telegram profile name, username, and profile photo (as shared by Telegram API)
Optional self-introduction text (e.g., '28 yoshda, Toshkentlik, nikohga tayyorman, oilaviy qiymatlar asosida')
Preferred marriage criteria (e.g., religion, education, location, family background — all selected voluntarily)
Telegram ID and language preference (Uzbek, Russian, or English)
Device type and approximate location (only if enabled, used solely to suggest nearby matches within your cultural comfort zone)
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information strictly to help you find compatible partners for halal, family-oriented relationships — never for ads, resale, or unrelated commercial purposes. Every use reflects our commitment to Uzbek values: transparency, modesty (haya), and responsibility to your family and community.
Matching you with other Uzbek users who share your values, life goals, and seriousness about nikoh
Enabling sovchilik mode — where trusted family members or certified sovchis can view limited, pre-approved profile summaries (with your explicit consent)
Improving our halal matchmaking algorithm — trained only on anonymized, aggregated patterns (e.g., '72% of users in Germany prefer partners with university degrees')
Sending essential service notifications via Telegram (e.g., 'Sizning sovchi sizni tanlagan', 'Yangi mos keladigan profil mavjud')
Complying with Uzbekistan’s personal data legislation and cooperating with local authorities when legally required
3. Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored securely in encrypted form on servers located in Uzbekistan (Tashkent-based cloud infrastructure compliant with Uzbek law) and redundantly backed up in EU-certified facilities (Germany) for reliability. We apply industry-standard encryption (AES-256), regular security audits, and strict access controls — because protecting your sharaf and family reputation is non-negotiable. No employee or contractor can view your full profile without authorization, and all staff sign confidentiality agreements aligned with Uzbek labor and data laws.
4. Third-Party Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Sharing occurs only in narrow, values-aligned cases — always with your clear, informed consent and under strict contractual safeguards.
With certified Uzbek sovchis or family representatives — only when you activate ‘Cultural Matching’ and explicitly approve their access to your summary profile
With Telegram — only the minimum data required for Mini App functionality (per Telegram’s Bot API terms)
With Uzbek government authorities — only if mandated by Uzbekistan’s Law “On Operational-Search Activity” or court order, and only after internal halal ethics review
With trusted local partners (e.g., Uzbek cultural associations in Turkey or USA) — solely for event coordination (e.g., nikoh seminars), with anonymized, opt-in data only
5. Your Rights
Under Uzbekistan’s Law “On Personal Data” and GDPR-inspired protections for diaspora users, you have full control over your information — because dignity and choice are central to both Islamic teaching and Uzbek tradition.
Access, correct, or delete your personal data anytime via the app’s ‘Sozlamalar > Shaxsiy ma'lumotlar’ menu
Withdraw consent for location sharing in one tap
Object to automated matching decisions and request human-reviewed suggestions
Request data portability in Uzbek-language JSON format (for personal records or family consultation)
Lodge a complaint with Uzbekistan’s Agency for Information and Communication Technologies (UzAICT) or your local data authority (e.g., Germany’s BfDI, UAE’s DPA)
6. Cookies & Tracking
YorYor is a Telegram Mini App — it does not use web cookies, browser trackers, or third-party analytics. We do not collect IP addresses, browsing history, or device identifiers beyond what Telegram provides for basic functionality. Our focus is on meaningful connection — not surveillance.
7. Children's Privacy
YorYor is for adults aged 18+ seeking serious relationships. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you’re under 18, please do not register — and if you’re a parent in Uzbekistan, Russia, or elsewhere, know that we enforce age verification through Telegram account age signals and optional ID upload (for nikoh-prep features, fully voluntary and encrypted).
8. Changes to This Policy
We’ll update this policy only when necessary — for example, to reflect new Uzbek regulations (like upcoming amendments to the Personal Data Law), improvements to halal matchmaking ethics, or changes in Telegram’s Mini App policies. We’ll notify all users via Telegram broadcast before updates take effect, and major changes require re-consent for sensitive features like sovchilik access.
