Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) sets out the rules for using the UkrainianCharms.com website (referred to as the “Site,” “we,” or “us”). It describes the types of personal information we collect, the purposes and methods for processing it, how it is stored and protected, the parties with whom it may be shared, and your options regarding its collection and use.
This Policy applies solely to UkrainianCharms.com and our own data management practices. It does not extend to third-party websites that may be accessed via links on our pages. Such external sites maintain their own privacy policies explaining how they handle personal information.
We value and respect your privacy. By continuing to browse or use this Site, you acknowledge and accept the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.
In line with applicable data protection regulations, UkrainianCharms.com acts as the “data controller,” meaning we determine the purposes and methods for handling the personal information collected through our Site. This Policy applies only in circumstances where UkrainianCharms.com operates in that capacity.
Please note: UkrainianCharms.com is an independent, third-party informational website that provides reviews, insights, and news about online dating services, particularly Ukrainian dating platforms. We are not affiliated with, owned by, or officially connected to any dating service or platform, including any entities that may have similar names. All content on this Site is for informational purposes only.
2. Eligibility to Use the Website

By visiting or using the Site, you confirm that you meet this age requirement or that you are a lawful parent or guardian providing consent for a minor to use the site.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that such data has been collected, it will be deleted promptly. If you believe a minor’s information has been provided to us, please contact us immediately at https://ukrainiancharms.com/contact-us/ so we can address the matter.

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous information such as page views, user behavior, device types, and traffic sources. No personally identifiable information is collected through these tools.

6. Data Sharing & Third Parties
We take your privacy seriously and do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share non-personal, aggregated information with trusted partners for analytics or reporting purposes, but this data cannot identify you.

Some pages may contain affiliate links. Clicking these links may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. These links may involve cookies from third-party affiliate networks, which have their own privacy policies.
7. Data Retention & Security
UkrainianCharms.com retains user-submitted data (such as contact form messages) only for as long as needed to fulfill the purpose for which it was provided or as required by law. Stored data is periodically reviewed and deleted when no longer necessary.
We implement reasonable technical and administrative measures to safeguard collected data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Measures may include secure server configurations, encryption, and restricted data access.
No method of data transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, absolute security cannot be guaranteed, and you use the Site at your own risk.
