Information you include in your matrimonial profile may be visible to other authorised members according to the privacy, membership and visibility settings applicable to your account.
Please carefully consider what information you include in your profile.
We recommend that you do not include highly sensitive information such as passwords, financial information, identification document numbers, or unnecessary personal contact information in publicly viewable profile fields.

By uploading a photograph, you confirm that you have the right to use that photograph and consent to its display as part of your matrimonial profile.

Your email address and mobile number are collected for account administration, verification, security and communication purposes.
We may restrict the visibility of direct contact information to protect members’ privacy and safety.

Registrations and profiles may be reviewed by authorised Vivaham.au administrators before approval.
We reserve the right to reject, suspend or remove profiles that appear fraudulent, misleading, inappropriate, incomplete, unsafe, or contrary to our Terms and Conditions.
- Sharing of Personal Information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to service providers who assist us in operating the website, hosting, communications, security or other business functions.
Where service providers handle personal information on our behalf, we take reasonable steps to ensure that information is handled appropriately.
We may also disclose information where required or authorised by Australian law, or where reasonably necessary to investigate suspected fraud, misuse, threats to safety or unlawful activity.
- Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security. Members should use a strong password, keep their login credentials confidential, and exercise appropriate caution when communicating with other members.
- Your Responsibilities
You are responsible for ensuring that information you provide is accurate and that you have permission to provide any information relating to another person.
You should exercise caution before sharing personal, financial or contact information with another member.
Vivaham.au does not recommend sending money or providing banking, credit card or financial information to another member.
