Weekah

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2 September 2026

Weekah ("Weekah", "we", "us" or "our") operates the website available at weekah.com and provides a weekly matchmaking service designed to connect consenting adults based on compatibility, personality, preferences, values and other information provided by users.

This Privacy Policy explains how Weekah collects, uses, stores, shares and protects personal data.

This Privacy Policy is intended to apply to users located in the European Economic Area ("EEA"), including Spain and France, and is interpreted in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") and applicable national data-protection legislation.

1. Data controller

The controller of your personal data is:

For privacy-related questions or requests, please contact hello@weekah.com.

2. Who can use Weekah?

Weekah is strictly intended for persons aged 18 or older.

By creating an account, you confirm that:

  • you are at least 18 years old;
  • the information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge;
  • you are using Weekah for your own personal use;
  • you will not create an account on behalf of another person.

Weekah does not knowingly permit persons under 18 to use the service.

If we reasonably believe that an account belongs to a person under 18, we may suspend or terminate the account and delete the associated personal data, subject to legal retention obligations.

3. Personal data we collect

Depending on how you use Weekah, we may process the following categories of personal data.

3.1 Account information

This may include:

  • first name or chosen name;
  • email address;
  • password in cryptographically hashed form;
  • account status;
  • email verification status;
  • account creation and deletion dates.

We do not store your password in plaintext.

3.2 Age and eligibility information

We may process:

  • confirmation that you are 18 or older;
  • age or date-of-birth information where required for eligibility or safety.

Weekah's service is restricted to adults.

3.3 Gender and dating preferences

You may be asked to provide information such as:

  • gender;
  • the gender(s) or type of person you would like to meet;
  • relationship intention;
  • other compatibility preferences.

Some combinations of these data may reveal or permit inference about a person's sexual orientation or sex life.

Where this occurs, Weekah will treat the relevant information as special-category personal data where required by the GDPR.

3.4 Instagram information

To reduce fake accounts and automated abuse, Weekah may require users to verify control of an Instagram account.

This may involve:

  • Instagram username/handle;
  • verification status;
  • verification token or code;
  • technical information received from Meta's verification infrastructure;
  • records necessary to demonstrate that verification occurred.

Weekah does not represent that Instagram verification constitutes government-issued identity verification or a background check.

Verification is intended primarily to establish control over the relevant Instagram account.

3.5 Compatibility questionnaire

Weekah may collect your answers to weekly compatibility questions.

Questions may concern:

  • personality;
  • values;
  • lifestyle;
  • relationship preferences;
  • humour;
  • interests;
  • preferences;
  • compatibility factors.

Some questionnaire answers may reveal sensitive information depending on their wording or combination with other information.

Weekah applies data-minimisation principles and seeks to avoid collecting sensitive information that is not necessary for the matchmaking service.

4. How we use your personal data

We may process your personal data to:

  • create and administer your Weekah account;
  • verify your email address;
  • verify control of an Instagram account;
  • determine whether you meet the age requirement;
  • administer your questionnaire;
  • calculate compatibility between users;
  • identify and provide weekly matches;
  • send your weekly match results;
  • process payments;
  • provide customer support;
  • prevent fraud, abuse, spam and automated accounts;
  • protect the security and integrity of Weekah;
  • investigate violations of our Terms of Service;
  • comply with legal obligations;
  • handle complaints and legal claims;
  • improve the service;
  • conduct aggregated or anonymised statistical analysis;
  • maintain appropriate technical, security and operational records.

We do not sell your personal data.

We do not use your personal data for unrelated advertising purposes unless we separately inform you and obtain any consent required by law.

5. Legal bases for processing

Depending on the processing activity, Weekah relies on one or more of the following legal bases under Article 6 GDPR:

Performance of a contract — Article 6(1)(b)

This may apply to:

  • creating and managing your account;
  • providing the matchmaking service;
  • administering your questionnaire;
  • providing weekly matches;
  • sending transactional communications;
  • processing your purchase;
  • providing customer support relating to the service.

Consent — Article 6(1)(a)

Where legally appropriate, Weekah may rely on consent for specific processing activities.

Consent will be requested separately where required and may be withdrawn at any time.

Legal obligation — Article 6(1)(c)

We may process personal data where necessary to comply with applicable legal obligations, including accounting, taxation, fraud prevention or lawful requests from authorities.

Legitimate interests — Article 6(1)(f)

Where appropriate and proportionate, Weekah may rely on legitimate interests for purposes such as:

  • cybersecurity;
  • fraud prevention;
  • abuse prevention;
  • service integrity;
  • defending legal claims;
  • maintaining technical records;
  • improving security.

We balance these interests against your fundamental rights and freedoms.

6. Special-category data

Certain information processed by a dating or matchmaking service may reveal information concerning a person's sex life or sexual orientation.

Article 9 GDPR generally prohibits processing such information unless a specific exception applies.

Where Weekah processes information that constitutes special-category personal data, Weekah will rely on an applicable Article 9 condition, including explicit consent under Article 9(2)(a) where appropriate.

Where required, this consent will be:

  • separate from acceptance of the Terms of Service;
  • clearly presented;
  • informed;
  • specific;
  • freely given;
  • capable of being withdrawn.

Withdrawal of explicit consent will not affect processing lawfully carried out before withdrawal.

However, if the sensitive information is essential to providing a requested matching function, withdrawal may mean that Weekah can no longer provide that particular function.

7. Profiling and matching

Weekah uses automated processing and compatibility algorithms to identify potentially compatible users.

This constitutes profiling under the GDPR where personal data are processed to evaluate or predict certain aspects relating to an individual.

The algorithm may consider factors such as:

  • declared preferences;
  • questionnaire responses;
  • compatibility criteria;
  • relationship intentions;
  • age compatibility;
  • other matching parameters.

Weekah may use weighting, compatibility scores and exclusion criteria to determine potential matches.

The purpose of this profiling is to provide the matchmaking service requested by the user.

Weekah does not intend the matching algorithm to make decisions producing legal effects or similarly significant effects on users.

A compatibility score is an algorithmic estimate and does not constitute a statement about a person's objective personality, value or worth.

Users should not interpret a score as a guarantee that a relationship will be successful.

Where legally required, Weekah will provide appropriate safeguards concerning automated processing, including meaningful information about the relevant logic, the significance of the processing and applicable rights.

8. How matches work

For each weekly matching session, Weekah may:

  • identify users who are eligible for matching;
  • apply compatibility requirements and preferences;
  • calculate compatibility scores;
  • rank potential matches;
  • select compatible users;
  • provide the resulting matches to participating users.

The exact algorithm may evolve over time.

Weekah may modify weighting, scoring, matching logic and eligibility criteria in order to improve the service, provided that such changes remain consistent with applicable law and the information provided to users.

Weekah does not guarantee that a user will receive three matches every week.

9. Information shared with matches

Where necessary to provide the matchmaking service, Weekah may disclose limited information about you to your selected match(es).

This may include your:

  • first/chosen name;
  • Instagram username/handle;
  • compatibility score;
  • limited compatibility-related information;
  • an automatically generated compatibility or icebreaker message.

Weekah will not intentionally disclose your email address, password, payment-card information or other unnecessary account information to your matches.

You should not provide sensitive personal information to Weekah that is not necessary for the service.

10. Instagram verification

Instagram verification is intended to reduce fake accounts and automated abuse.

However:

Instagram verification is not identity verification.

Weekah does not guarantee that:

  • the Instagram account represents the person's legal identity;
  • the person is using their real name;
  • the person has no criminal history;
  • the person is safe to meet;
  • information displayed on Instagram is accurate.

Users remain responsible for exercising appropriate caution when communicating with or meeting another person.

Weekah does not control Instagram and is not responsible for Instagram's services, policies, availability or security.

11. Email communications

We may send transactional emails including:

  • email verification messages;
  • account-related notifications;
  • payment confirmations;
  • weekly match notifications;
  • service and security notices;
  • legally required communications.

Marketing communications, where applicable, will be subject to the consent requirements of applicable law.

You cannot opt out of essential transactional or security communications while maintaining an account where those communications are necessary to provide the service.

12. Third-party service providers

Weekah may use carefully selected third-party service providers for functions including:

  • hosting and infrastructure;
  • databases;
  • email delivery;
  • payment processing;
  • authentication;
  • security;
  • fraud prevention;
  • scheduling/background jobs;
  • analytics where legally permitted;
  • customer support;
  • AI-assisted functionality.

Where a provider processes personal data on Weekah's behalf, Weekah will enter into appropriate contractual arrangements where required, including a Data Processing Agreement.

A current list of material processors may be made available upon request or through an updated version of this Privacy Policy.

13. International data transfers

Some service providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area.

Where personal data are transferred outside the EEA, Weekah will implement an appropriate transfer mechanism required by Chapter V GDPR, which may include:

  • an adequacy decision;
  • Standard Contractual Clauses;
  • appropriate supplementary measures;
  • another lawful transfer mechanism recognised under applicable data-protection law.

Weekah will not rely on the former EU-US "Privacy Shield", which is no longer the applicable framework.

14. Data retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer period is required by law.

Retention periods may depend on:

  • the type of data;
  • the purpose of processing;
  • whether the account remains active;
  • legal obligations;
  • fraud/security requirements;
  • potential legal claims.

When data are no longer required, they will be deleted or irreversibly anonymised where appropriate.

Some information may need to be retained after account deletion where necessary to:

  • comply with legal obligations;
  • establish or defend legal claims;
  • prevent fraud;
  • maintain security records;
  • demonstrate compliance with legal requirements.

15. Data security

Weekah implements appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against:

  • unauthorised access;
  • accidental loss;
  • destruction;
  • alteration;
  • disclosure;
  • unlawful processing.

Security measures may include:

  • HTTPS/TLS;
  • secure password hashing;
  • access controls;
  • authentication mechanisms;
  • least-privilege principles;
  • logging and monitoring;
  • secure infrastructure;
  • backups where appropriate;
  • vulnerability management;
  • incident response procedures.

No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

16. Personal data breaches

If Weekah becomes aware of a personal-data breach, we will assess the incident and take the measures required by applicable law.

Where the GDPR requires notification to a supervisory authority, Weekah will comply with the applicable notification requirements.

Where a breach is likely to result in a high risk to individuals' rights and freedoms, Weekah will notify affected individuals where required.

17. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • access your personal data;
  • obtain information about how your data are processed;
  • correct inaccurate information;
  • request deletion;
  • request restriction of processing;
  • object to certain processing;
  • withdraw consent;
  • obtain data portability;
  • object to certain profiling;
  • request human intervention where legally applicable to automated decision-making;
  • lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.

To exercise your rights, contact hello@weekah.com.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.

18. Supervisory authorities

If you are located in Spain, you may contact the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD).

If you are located in France, you may contact the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL).

You may also contact the supervisory authority in the country where you live, work or where you believe an infringement occurred.

19. Data protection impact assessment

Because Weekah may process sensitive personal data and use systematic profiling for matchmaking, Weekah will assess whether a Data Protection Impact Assessment ("DPIA") is required under Article 35 GDPR.

Weekah may conduct a DPIA voluntarily before processing begins where the risk profile of the processing warrants it.

The DPIA, where required, will consider in particular:

  • special-category data;
  • profiling;
  • automated matching;
  • security;
  • data minimisation;
  • retention;
  • international transfers;
  • potential risks to users;
  • safeguards and mitigation measures.

20. Children

Weekah is not intended for persons under 18.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18 for the purpose of providing the matchmaking service.

21. Cookies

Weekah currently intends to use only cookies and similar technologies that are strictly necessary to provide the website and requested services.

For further information, please see our Cookie Policy.

22. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

If changes materially affect your rights or the way your personal data are processed, we will provide appropriate notice where required by law.

The latest version will always be available at weekah.com/privacy.
