Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 2026

At Winkia, accessible from our website and secure Telegram bot platform, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors and users. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by Winkia and how we use it to facilitate psychology-based matching.

1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when registering for the service, expressing an interest in obtaining information about us, or otherwise contacting us. Because Winkia operates through Telegram, we do not store your private chat logs on external vulnerable servers. The data we do collect includes:

  • Basic demographic data (Age, Location)
  • Psychological profiling data (Attachment style preferences, relationship goals)
  • Contact metadata provided via secure Telegram integration

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect in various ways, primarily to enhance your dating experience, including to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain our matching algorithms.
  • Improve, personalize, and expand your user profile recommendations.
  • Understand and analyze how you use our platform to improve our behavioral science metrics.
  • Find and prevent fraud to keep our community safe from bad actors.

4. GDPR & CCPA Data Protection Rights
