EXPATS.LK legal information
Privacy Policy
How EXPATS.LK collects, uses, protects, and shares information for community, safety, location, messaging, and social features.
01
Information we collect
We collect account details, profile information, contact details, country/city, optional approximate location, posts, comments, message metadata, listings, reports, support requests, device information, and security information needed to operate and protect the platform.
02
How we use information
We use information to provide community features, recommend relevant local content, support messaging and nearby discovery, verify accounts, moderate abuse, prevent fraud, respond to reports, improve reliability, and communicate important service updates.
03
Optional analytics
With your permission, we use Google Analytics to understand page visits and improve the platform. Analytics remains disabled unless you allow it through the privacy choices shown on the site. Google may process device, browser, approximate location, and usage information under its own privacy terms. We do not enable advertising storage or ad personalisation.
04
Location and nearby features
Nearby discovery is opt-in. Exact home locations should not be shared. Location-based features should use approximate coordinates, visible map bounds, and privacy controls so members can choose whether they appear to others.
05
Sharing and visibility
Content you post may be visible to other members according to the selected module and privacy settings. Private messages, matrimonial details, reports, and verification information require stricter access controls and should not be exposed publicly.
06
Security and retention
We apply reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, but no online platform can guarantee complete security. We retain information only as long as needed for service operation, legal, safety, moderation, and audit purposes.
07
Your choices
Members can update profile details, control optional location sharing, manage notifications where available, and change the optional analytics preference using Privacy choices. You can also request account help or contact support about privacy or data concerns.
