Privacy Policy

1. Who is responsible

The website is branded Lanmou Lakay Canada. The intended business name is Lanmou Lakay Canada (registration pending). General business location: Ontario, Canada. Privacy and safety contact: safety@lanmoulakay.ca. The legally accountable operator and designated privacy contact details will be confirmed after registration and before dating accounts open.

2. Information handled while registration is closed

• Your browser may provide technical information to WordPress.com, including IP address, device/browser details, pages requested, cookies, and security or performance logs.
• If you email the safety address, the service handles your email address, message and any material you choose to provide. Do not email government ID or intimate photographs.
• Previous early-access forms have been removed. Any previous responses, if they exist, are not public dating profiles.

3. Information the proposed dating service may collect

• Account information: login name, email, password credential (stored through WordPress’s authentication system), nickname, registration and consent records.
• Profile information that you choose: approximate age range, city or region, languages, about-me text, profile photos and relationship goal. Do not post exact addresses, phone numbers or identifying documents.
• Optional sensitive dating preferences, such as gender and who you would like to meet. Current settings restrict these fields to administrators by default, not other members.
• Private messages exchanged with other members, block lists, complaints and actions taken in response to reports.
• Security information including login and device records needed to investigate abuse.

4. What members could see

If registration opens, approved signed-in members may be able to see your display name, profile photo, age range, city or region, about-me text, languages and relationship goals. They must not see the administrator-only preference fields through your public profile. People outside the community should not be able to browse BuddyPress member profiles. Site administrators can access information needed to operate and moderate the service.

Important: Profile photos, display names and messages may still be copied or saved by recipients. No online service can guarantee that another person will not retain information they have seen.

5. Why information is used

• Operate approved member accounts, help people discover and communicate with other members, and honour your chosen visibility settings.
• Review account applications, respond to abuse reports and enforce safety rules.
• Prevent spam, fraud, unauthorized access and technical problems.
• Respond to privacy requests and legal obligations.
• Send marketing or launch promotions only where legally appropriate consent has been obtained separately.

6. Consent and your choices

Joining will require confirming that you are at least 18 and acknowledging the community rules. Sensitive preferences should be optional and collected only with a clear explanation of why they are needed. You can choose not to fill optional fields. Marketing consent is separate from membership; membership does not automatically sign you up for promotional messages.

7. Service providers and disclosure

The website runs on WordPress.com with BuddyPress and selected security and moderation plugins. Email sent to the safety address is forwarded to a Google Gmail account. Service providers may process or store information outside Canada. We do not intend to sell member profiles or dating preferences. Disclosure may occur where necessary to deliver the service, respond to a legitimate legal requirement or address a serious safety concern.

8. Keeping and protecting information

The site uses HTTPS and WordPress account security controls. Access to sensitive information is intended to be limited to those who need it. The administrator has two-factor authentication enabled. No method of online storage or communication is risk-free.

We intend to keep account information while an account is in use, then delete or de-identify information when it is no longer reasonably necessary, except for limited information needed for disputes, security incidents or legal duties. A detailed retention schedule, backup deletion process and incident response procedure must be confirmed before public member registration.

9. Access, corrections and deleting an account

Email safety@lanmoulakay.ca to ask what information we hold, request correction, raise a privacy concern or request deletion. Once accounts open, BuddyPress also has a member account-deletion setting enabled. We may need to verify that a request comes from the correct person before making changes, without asking you to send government ID by ordinary email. Some records may need to be retained where lawfully required.

10. Cookies and analytics

WordPress.com may use necessary cookies for authentication, security, and site functionality and may provide traffic statistics. A detailed cookie and third-party services inventory will be published before the dating membership service opens.

11. Age restrictions and safety

This service is intended only for people aged 18 or older. Checking an 18+ box does not verify a person’s age or identity. We are not currently claiming that members are verified. For safety concerns, see the Community & Safety page. In immediate danger, call local emergency services.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the service changes. We will date new versions and provide appropriate notice and obtain consent if we introduce materially different handling of personal information where required.

Prelaunch limitation: Before real dating accounts open, the business registration and legally accountable operator must be confirmed. Retention schedules, external processing, provider inventory, terms and applicable Canadian/Québec legal requirements also need final review.
