Privacy

Last updated 25 June 2026

Margo is built around a simple promise: your real contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. This page explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have.

What we collect

Your details — the name, email address, date of birth, location, gender, who you'd like to meet, and anything you choose to tell Margo about yourself when you sign up.
Your messages — the messages you exchange with Margo on Telegram and, once you're introduced, with the people she introduces you to.
Optional Telegram — if you choose to continue on Telegram, your Telegram account identifier so we can deliver messages there.
Optional verification photo — if you take part in photo verification, the selfie you submit and the result of the check.
Membership & payment — if you become a member, payment is handled by our payment processor. We receive confirmation of your membership status; we never see or store your card details.
Technical data — basic logs needed to operate the service and keep it secure.

How we use it

To get to know you and make thoughtful introductions.
To carry messages privately between you and the people you're introduced to.
To confirm you're a real person and keep the community safe.
To manage your membership and respond when you contact us.

Private by design

Privacy isn't a setting here — it's how the service is built:

Your real email address is encrypted at rest and is never shown to anyone you're matched with.
Introductions run through an anonymous relay. The other person sees only a Margo address, never yours.
Real contact details are revealed only after you both choose to share them — never automatically.
When tools help Margo draft suggestions, they work from a summary of your profile — your real email address is never given to them.

Who we share it with

We don't sell your data. We share it only:

With people you're introduced to — and only what you choose to share, when you choose to share it.
With service providers who help us operate — hosting and email delivery, payment processing, and the tools that help Margo. They may only use it to provide their service to us.
Where required by law, or to protect the safety of our users.

Keeping or removing your data

You're in control. Send Margo /manage on Telegram (or use the link in any email from us) to manage your details — there you can update your profile, pause introductions, unsubscribe, or delete your data entirely. Deleting your data removes your profile and stops all future contact. We may retain limited records where the law requires it (for example, payment records).

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete the information we hold about you, and to object to certain uses. To exercise any of these, send Margo /manage on Telegram, use the link in any email from us, or contact us.

Margo is for adults. You must be 18 or older to use the service.

Changes

If we make material changes to this policy we'll update the date above and, where appropriate, let you know by email.
