We collect data across several categories, each serving a specific purpose in improving your matching experience, ensuring platform safety, and complying with Canadian privacy laws including PIPEDA and Alberta's PIPA.
Account Information
Name, email address, date of birth, gender, and password required to create your profile. This foundational data verifies your identity and ensures age-appropriate matching for Calgary singles looking for genuine connections.
Profile Details
Photos, bio information, occupation, education level, lifestyle habits, and personal interests you choose to display. These details help us build accurate compatibility profiles for meaningful matches.
Preference Data
Your search criteria including preferred age range, location radius within Calgary, relationship goals, and deal-breakers. We use this to refine and personalize your match suggestions daily.
Compatibility Information
Results from our personality assessment and relationship values questionnaire. This proprietary data powers our intelligent matching algorithm without exposing raw scores to other members.
Communication Data
Messages exchanged through our private messaging system, read receipts, and interaction patterns. All communications are monitored for safety while remaining confidential between users.
Payment-Related Data
Billing address, transaction records, and subscription details processed through secure, PCI-compliant payment gateways. We never store full card numbers on our servers.
Device Information
IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and access timestamps. This technical data helps us maintain platform integrity and detect fraudulent activity.

General geographic information derived from your IP address and optional precise location when enabled. This ensures you see compatible singles in your Calgary neighbourhood.

Your account details and communication history enable our support team to resolve issues efficiently, answer privacy questions, and assist with account management requests.
Legal Compliance
We process certain data to comply with Canadian federal and provincial privacy legislation, respond to lawful requests, and safeguard the rights of our users and platform.
Cookies and Analytics Tools
Like most modern websites, EliteSingles Calgary uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors interact with our platform. You have full control over cookie settings.
We employ reputable analytics providers who operate under strict data processing agreements. These tools help us improve service quality while respecting your right to privacy and data minimization.
Third-Party Processors
We work with carefully vetted third-party service providers who assist us in operating EliteSingles Calgary. These processors include payment handlers, cloud hosting providers, email delivery services, customer support platforms, and analytics companies.
Every third-party processor is bound by strict data processing agreements that limit their use of your information solely to the specific services they perform for us. They are prohibited from using your data for their own marketing, product development, or any purpose outside their contracted obligations.
We conduct regular reviews of our third-party partnerships to ensure ongoing compliance with our privacy standards and Canadian data protection requirements. If a processor fails to meet our standards, we terminate the relationship immediately.
Data Retention Period
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to provide our services, fulfill legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. The retention period varies depending on the type of data collected.
Account information is retained while your profile remains active. Upon deletion, your public profile is removed immediately, while certain data may be kept in anonymized form for analytics, fraud prevention, and legal compliance purposes. Transaction records are maintained for the period required by Canadian tax and financial regulations.
We periodically review our retention schedules and purge outdated data. If you wish to know exactly how long specific categories of your information are stored, please contact our privacy team through the details provided at the bottom of this page.

Security Safeguards
Protecting your personal information is at the core of everything we do at EliteSingles Calgary. Our security infrastructure combines multiple layers of technology, process, and human oversight to keep your data safe from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.
We regularly undergo security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. Our team maintains incident response procedures ready to activate should any security concern arise.
End-to-End Encryption
Private messages and sensitive data are encrypted using industry-standard TLS and AES protocols.
Two-Factor Authentication
Optional additional security layer requiring a second verification step beyond your password.
Secure Servers
Data hosted on hardened, geo-redundant servers with physical and logical access controls.
Continuous Monitoring
24/7 automated threat detection systems flag and respond to suspicious activity in real time.
Private Messaging Protection
Your conversations on EliteSingles Calgary are treated with the highest level of confidentiality. Private messages are accessible only to you and the intended recipient. We employ message encryption, content moderation, and anti-screenshot technologies to protect sensitive exchanges between members.
Our safety team reviews flagged messages for harassment, spam, or exploitative behaviour. However, we do not proactively monitor the content of private conversations unless a report is filed or legal obligations require intervention. We encourage members to exercise good judgment and report any uncomfortable interactions promptly.
International Data Transfer
Some of your data may be processed through servers located outside Canada, including facilities operated by our parent company and technology partners. When international transfers occur, we implement appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses, Binding Corporate Rules, or adequacy decisions recognized under Canadian privacy law.
These legal mechanisms ensure that your personal information receives a level of protection substantially equivalent to that guaranteed within Canada, regardless of where the processing takes place. You can request detailed information about specific transfer mechanisms by contacting our privacy team.
Policy Update Process
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data practices, technological capabilities, legal requirements, or business operations. When material changes are made, we will notify you through prominent notice on our platform, email communication, or both, giving you reasonable opportunity to review the updated terms.
Continued use of EliteSingles Calgary after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you disagree with any changes, you may close your account and request deletion of your personal data before the new terms take effect. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
