5. The Matching Process

Bahama Match uses a proprietary matching process to identify potential compatibility between registered participants. This process may involve:

• proprietary matching tools or algorithms;
• manual review by Bahama Match personnel or approved representatives; or
• a combination of automated and manual review.

Profile information, questionnaire responses, preferences, photographs, and related participant data are processed through this matching system to support participant review, invitations to proceed to payment, event balance and logistical planning, match suggestions, structured introductions, and event programming decisions.

A participant will only be invited to proceed to payment if the system identifies at least two (2) potentially compatible matches within the current registration pool. Final participation or invitation decisions may also take into account operational, safety, capacity, and event-balance considerations.

Matching-related processing does not guarantee any specific outcome, relationship, or level of compatibility. You have the right to request information about how automated processing applies to your profile and to raise concerns about automated decisions. See Section 10 (Your Rights and Choices) for more information.

6. Photo Disclosure Policy

Your profile photograph is treated with particular care:

• Your photograph will not be visible to other participants during the registration phase.
• Photos are disclosed only to your confirmed matched participants, and only after the full registration pool has been finalized.
• Profile photos are used internally for matching administration and, where you have consented, may be used in promotional materials in accordance with Section 8.
• Bahama Match staff and authorized administrators may access profile photographs for operational and verification purposes only.

You may request the deletion of your profile photograph at any time prior to finalization of the registration pool. After the pool is finalized and matches are disclosed, deletion requests will be honored prospectively and will not affect disclosures already made.

7. When We Share Personal Information

We do not sell participant personal data to third parties. We may disclose personal information only as reasonably necessary in the following circumstances:

A. With Matched Participants

Your profile photograph will be disclosed to your confirmed matched participants after the registration pool is finalized. Your personal contact information (email address, phone number) will not be shared with other participants without your express consent.

B. Service Providers and Vendors

We may share information with trusted third parties who help us operate Bahama Match, such as:

• website and hosting providers;
• form, database, or cloud-storage providers;
• payment processors;
• email and messaging vendors;
• analytics providers;
• event venues and hospitality partners;
• photographers and videographers;
• security or check-in providers; and
• professional advisers such as accountants, insurers, or legal counsel.

These parties receive only the information reasonably necessary for their role and are required to handle participant data in a manner consistent with applicable data protection standards.

C. Legal, Safety, and Compliance Reasons

We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to: comply with applicable law, regulation, court order, subpoena, or lawful request; protect the rights, safety, or property of Bahama Match, participants, staff, or others; investigate fraud, misconduct, abuse, harassment, or security incidents; or enforce our Terms and Conditions, Code of Conduct, or other event rules.

D. Business Changes

If Bahama Match undergoes a business reorganization, merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, participant information may be transferred as part of that process. We will provide reasonable notice of any such transfer and any changes to this Privacy Policy that may result.

8. Event Photography, Video, and Media

Bahama Match events may be photographed, filmed, or otherwise recorded for operational, security, archival, editorial, promotional, or marketing purposes. If you attend a Bahama Match event, your image, likeness, voice, or appearance may be captured intentionally or incidentally. Such media may be used by Bahama Match for legitimate business purposes including internal records, security documentation, archival use, social media, website content, promotional materials, and future event marketing.

Where Bahama Match offers an approved written opt-out for certain promotional uses, we will make reasonable efforts to honor that request as described in the applicable event materials. Please note that an opt-out may not be feasible for crowd scenes, security footage, archival records, or other incidental captures, and does not apply to materials already produced prior to receipt of the request.

All participants are prohibited from photographing, recording, or filming other participants without their express consent, in accordance with the Code of Conduct in the Terms and Conditions.

9. International Processing and Cross-Border Transfers

Bahama Match is based around an event in Nassau, The Bahamas, and welcomes participants from around the world. By registering, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in The Bahamas and in other countries where our service providers operate.

European Union and EEA Participants

If you are a citizen or resident of the European Union or European Economic Area, you acknowledge that your personal data will be transferred to The Bahamas, which may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We rely on your informed consent, provided at registration, as the legal basis for such transfer. Where required by applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers. You retain all rights described in Section 10 of this Policy.

United States Participants

If you are a resident of the United States, applicable federal or state privacy laws may govern certain aspects of how your personal data is handled. Residents of California may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal data is collected, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal data. Bahama Match does not sell personal data. To exercise applicable rights, please contact us at info@bahamamatch.com.

Participants from Other Jurisdictions

Participants registering from other jurisdictions are responsible for understanding how local privacy laws may apply to their participation. We are committed to handling all participant data with care and transparency regardless of country of origin.

• explain how automated matching decisions apply to your profile and raise concerns about them.

To make a privacy request, contact info@bahamamatch.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. We may also decline a request where permitted or required by applicable law. If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority in your jurisdiction.

11. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies, pixels, analytics tags, and similar technologies to keep the website functioning properly, remember settings or preferences, understand website traffic and usage patterns, improve performance and user experience, and support communications or marketing where permitted.

The following types of cookies may be used:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the Website to function, including maintaining your session during registration and securing form submissions. These cannot be disabled.
• Analytical Cookies: Used to understand how visitors interact with the Website. Data is aggregated and used to improve the Website experience.
• Functional Cookies: Used to remember your preferences and settings to enhance your browsing experience.

Where required by applicable law, we will seek consent before using non-essential cookies and will provide tools for users to manage cookie preferences. You may also manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect your ability to complete registration or access certain features.

12. Marketing Communications

Bahama Match may send service notices, registration and event updates, and administrative communications. Where permitted by law and with your consent where required, we may also send newsletters, promotions, or similar marketing messages about future Bahama Match events or related services.

You may opt out of promotional or marketing messages at any time by using the unsubscribe link or opt-out method included in the communication, or by contacting us at info@bahamamatch.com. Even if you opt out of marketing, we may still send transactional or service-related messages necessary to administer your registration or the event.

13. How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Typical retention periods include:

• General inquiries: up to 12 months after the last meaningful contact;
• Profiles, questionnaires, and registration records: through the active event cycle and for up to 24 months afterward, unless a longer period is reasonably necessary;
• Payment and transaction records: for as long as required by applicable law, accounting standards, payment-provider rules, or fraud-prevention needs;
• Marketing records: until you opt out or until no longer reasonably needed; and
• Event media: for as long as reasonably useful for archival, promotional, business, or legal purposes, unless deletion is required by law.

If litigation, complaints, investigations, or legal holds arise, we may retain relevant information longer as reasonably necessary. At the end of the applicable retention period, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymized. To request earlier deletion, see Section 10 (Your Rights and Choices).

14. Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit, access controls limiting personal data to authorized personnel, and secure payment processing through compliant third-party processors.

However, no website, storage system, transmission method, or online service can be guaranteed completely secure. You are responsible for using appropriate caution when transmitting information online and for protecting your own devices, passwords, and communications. In the event of a data breach that poses a meaningful risk to your rights, we will notify affected participants and relevant authorities as required by applicable law.

15. Adult-Only Service

Bahama Match is intended exclusively for adults. We do not knowingly solicit or permit registration by anyone under 18 years of age, or the age of legal majority in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher. If we learn that we have collected personal information from someone who is not eligible to use the service, we will delete that information and take steps to block or remove the registration. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information to us, please contact us at info@bahamamatch.com.

16. Third-Party Services and Links

Our website or communications may include links to third-party websites, booking tools, payment tools, social platforms, or other services not operated by Bahama Match.
