Confidentiality is a fundamental part of FavourFound's matchmaking process.

10. PAYMENTS AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Payments may be processed through third-party payment processors.

FavourFound does not intentionally store complete credit-card numbers or other full payment-card credentials on its own local systems where payment is processed directly by a third-party payment provider.

FavourFound may retain transaction records necessary for:

  • Accounting;

  • Tax purposes;

  • Refund administration;

  • Dispute resolution;

  • Fraud prevention;

  • Legal compliance.

11. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Some service providers used by FavourFound may process or store information outside Jamaica.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, FavourFound will take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are used in accordance with applicable Jamaican data-protection requirements.

Because FavourFound relies on third-party technology providers, personal information may be processed in countries whose data-protection laws differ from those of Jamaica.

By using FavourFound services, you acknowledge that such international processing may occur where necessary for service delivery, subject to applicable legal requirements and safeguards.

12. DATA SECURITY

FavourFound takes reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against:

Security measures may include:

  • Password protection;

  • Restricted access;

  • Secure cloud services;

  • Encryption or secure transmission where available;

  • Access controls;

  • Verification procedures;

  • Administrative safeguards.

However, no electronic storage or transmission system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

If FavourFound becomes aware of a data breach requiring notification under applicable law, we will take the steps required by law, which may include notifying affected individuals and/or the relevant regulatory authority.

13. DATA RETENTION

FavourFound retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

  • Legal obligations;

  • Accounting and tax requirements;

  • Fraud prevention;

  • Dispute resolution;

  • Safeguarding considerations.

13.1 Matchmaking and Coaching Information

Information contained in matchmaking profiles, assessments, coaching records, and related service documentation may be retained during the relevant service relationship and for a reasonable period afterward for legitimate administrative, safeguarding, legal, and business purposes.

13.2 Sensitive Information

FavourFound will seek to avoid retaining sensitive information longer than reasonably necessary.

Where a Client requests deletion, FavourFound will assess the request against applicable legal obligations, legitimate retention requirements, safeguarding considerations, and any ongoing contractual or legal matter.

13.3 Financial and Legal Records

Certain transaction, accounting, tax, contractual, and legal records may need to be retained for longer periods as required by applicable law.

Accordingly, deletion of a matchmaking profile does not necessarily result in immediate deletion of every record associated with the Client.

14. YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS

Subject to applicable law and any lawful limitations, individuals may have rights concerning their personal information, including rights to:

  • Be informed about how personal information is processed;

  • Request access to personal information held about them;

  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;

  • Request deletion or erasure where legally applicable;

  • Object to certain processing;

  • Request restriction of processing in applicable circumstances;

  • Exercise other rights available under the Data Protection Act, 2020.

FavourFound may need to verify your identity before responding to a request involving personal information.

Some requests may be limited or refused where FavourFound has a lawful reason to retain or process the information.

15. WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT

Where FavourFound relies on consent as the legal basis for processing, you may withdraw that consent by contacting us.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that occurred lawfully before consent was withdrawn.

Withdrawal of consent may also affect FavourFound's ability to continue providing certain services where the information is necessary to perform those services.

For example, withdrawing consent to the processing of information necessary for matchmaking may make continued matchmaking impossible.

16. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND LINKS

The FavourFound website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, vendors, retailers, event platforms, social-media services, or other external websites.

These may include services such as online retailers, event-registration platforms, payment providers, social-media platforms, or other third-party resources.

Once you leave the FavourFound website, the third party's privacy policy and terms may apply.

FavourFound does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third-party websites.

You should review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing them with personal information.

17. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

FavourFound's matchmaking and coaching services are intended for individuals 18 years of age or older.

We do not knowingly provide matchmaking services to minors.

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from an individual under 18 without an appropriate lawful basis, we will take reasonable steps to address and delete the information where legally appropriate.

These confidentiality obligations are also addressed in the FavourFound General Terms & Conditions and may continue after the matchmaking relationship or service ends.
