Pre-launch draft

This draft describes how Zugi currently plans to handle information. It is provided for transparency during development and must be reviewed and approved by qualified legal counsel before launch.

Scope

When launched, the final notice will apply to MeetZugi.com, the Zugi phone experience, and related member and support services. It will not apply to a third-party service that a member reaches from Zugi.

Information you provide

Zugi may collect these categories when the corresponding feature is enabled. Not every category is collected today.

  • Account and contact information
  • Age and date of birth
  • General location
  • Photos
  • Self-described Jewish identity and desired home
  • Relationship intentions
  • Preferences and hard requirements
  • Availability
  • Interview answers
  • Approved profile summary
  • Introduction decisions
  • Date logistics
  • Messages
  • Feedback
  • Reports and support requests
  • Consent choices

Interview and voice information

  • Members may speak or type during the interview
  • Voice may be processed to conduct and transcribe the conversation
  • Raw audio is not stored by default
  • Temporary provider processing may occur according to disclosed provider settings
  • A transcript and structured answers may be stored after the disclosed consent
  • Members can pause, skip, correct, mark an answer private, or request deletion, subject to stated exceptions

Final provider and retention details are not yet approved.

Photos and profile information

  • Photos will use private storage
  • Metadata such as GPS or EXIF data is intended to be removed
  • Approved photos and profile information appear only in a specific introduction
  • Photos are not used for attractiveness scoring
  • No ethnicity, religion, disability, health, or psychological inference is made from photos

Photo moderation and identity verification are not operational today and will be described before they are enabled.

Matching and introductions

  • Hard requirements are evaluated before flexible ranking
  • AI cannot override a failed hard requirement
  • Eligible-pair ranking may use approved profile and preference information
  • Specific approved information may be shown to an introduced member
  • A response remains private unless mutual acceptance occurs
  • Declines are not attributed to a specific person

Communications and date coordination

When messaging and scheduling are enabled, Zugi may process messages, availability, and public venue logistics needed to coordinate a first meeting, together with service notifications a member has chosen to receive.

Safety and support

Reports, blocks, safety evidence a member submits, and support correspondence may be processed to review a concern, protect members, and keep required records. Serious safety decisions require human review.

Technical and usage information

Operating the service may involve limited technical information such as device and browser type, approximate region, security and abuse signals, and error diagnostics. External analytics is not connected today.

How information may be used

  • Provide, operate, and improve the service
  • Conduct the interview and build a member-approved profile
  • Evaluate eligibility and rank eligible introductions
  • Coordinate accepted introductions and first meetings
  • Protect members, investigate reports, and prevent fraud or abuse
  • Provide support and respond to requests
  • Meet legal and record-keeping obligations

What another member may see

An introduced member may see:

  • Chosen first name
  • Age
  • General location
  • Approved photos
  • Approved profile sections
  • Approved compatibility context

An introduced member never sees, at any stage, whether before matching, after mutual acceptance, during scheduling, at the meeting, after the date, or after closure:

  • Last name
  • Exact address
  • Phone (except a mutually agreed post-date exchange)
  • Personal email
  • Social profiles
  • Private answers
  • Full transcript
  • Full availability
  • Staff notes
  • Safety evidence
  • The other member’s response

Service providers

Zugi expects to rely on these categories of provider:

  • Hosting and database
  • Authentication
  • AI and transcription
  • Email and SMS
  • Identity verification
  • Maps and venue data
  • File security and malware scanning
  • Analytics and error monitoring
  • Payments if enabled

No production provider list is final. Zugi will update this notice before real member data is processed.

AI processing

  • AI supports interviews, structured extraction, profile drafting, eligible-candidate ranking, explanations, and report triage
  • Private information is minimized according to the task
  • AI does not decide Jewish legitimacy
  • AI does not make final serious safety decisions
  • AI does not override hard preferences

Final AI provider, training, retention, and opt-out disclosures require approval and will be stated here before member data is processed.

Retention

Retention will differ by data class and may account for:

  • Active account operation
  • Member requests
  • Safety
  • Fraud prevention
  • Legal obligations
  • Disputes
  • Audit integrity
  • Backup lifecycle

Specific retention periods have not been approved and are not stated here.

Security

Zugi plans to use access controls, private storage, encryption provided by approved infrastructure, audit logging, least privilege, secure provider credentials, and monitoring.

No method of storage or transmission is completely secure.

Your choices and rights

Planned member controls include:

  • Access an approved profile
  • Correct information
  • Pause matching
  • Control notifications
  • Withdraw optional consent
  • Request an export
  • Request deletion
  • Contact Zugi about privacy
  • Appeal certain account or safety decisions where policy permits

Regional rights depend on applicable law and the final launch location, and will be described before launch.

Export and deletion

Export
Export requires identity or session verification. Export links will be private and time limited.
Deletion
Deletion may not remove records that must be retained for safety, fraud, legal, security, or audit reasons.
Deletion pending
An account pending deletion cannot receive new introductions.

Final response times and procedures require legal approval.

Children

Zugi is intended for adults age 18 and older and is not intended for children.

Changes

This draft will change before launch. A final, counsel-approved notice with an effective date will replace it before any real member information is processed.

Contact

A dedicated privacy contact method will be added before launch. Until then, use the Contact page and do not send sensitive information.
