Gachi Match ("Service") is committed to protecting user privacy in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) of Korea. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information.
Change notice (October 23, 2026)
Following our October 15, 2026 announcement, the matchmaking service is paused, and since October 23, 2026 the site offers the values test only. Test answers submitted on or after October 23, 2026 are not stored on our servers. With your consent, they are sent to our AI processor (Anthropic) solely to generate your detailed values profile. Survey responses and matching sign-up information collected before that date are handled under "Previously collected information" below. Sections changed: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8.
1. Personal Information Collected and Collection Methods
Current values test (from October 23, 2026)
- Stored on our servers: None. Your type is calculated in your browser, and your 30 answers and type result are not stored in the Service's database.
- Detailed AI profile: If you consent before starting the test, your 30 answers (1–5 scale), type code, and type name are sent to our AI processor (Anthropic PBC) to generate the detailed profile text. The generated text is saved only in your browser; the Service does not keep a copy of what was sent or returned. No name, contact details, or other identifiers are included.
- Browser storage: To let you resume and revisit your result, your answers and completion status may be saved in your browser (localStorage). The Service cannot read this data. You can remove it with "Clear test data on this device" on the result screen or by clearing your browser data.
- Usage statistics: See Section 8. Raw answers, type codes, and personal identifiers are not sent to analytics tools.
Previously collected information (before October 23, 2026)
The Stage 1 and Stage 2 data below were collected while the matching service was operating and are no longer collected. Retained data is handled under the retention periods in Section 3 and the rights procedure in Section 6.
Stage 1: Values Type Report (upon taking the survey — collection ended)
- Collected: Responses to 30 values-based survey questions (1–5 scale)
- Purpose: To analyze values type and generate/provide a report
- Consent timing: Before starting the survey
Stage 2: Matching Service (upon opting into matching — collection ended)
- Collected: Nickname, gender, preferred match gender, age range, country of residence, city of residence, Instagram ID
- Purpose: Values-based matching, delivering match results, and, with prior consent, sharing nickname, Instagram ID, values type information, and match result information with matched partner
- Consent timing: Upon choosing to participate in matching (18+ only)
Collection Method
- Directly entered by users on the website (gachimatch.gnpg.ai)
2. Purpose of Collection and Use
The current values test does not collect personal information on our servers. The purposes below apply to previously collected information. While the matching service is paused, Stage 2 data is not used for any new matching.
| Stage | Purpose |
|---|
| Stage 1 (Report) | Generate and provide values type report; statistical analysis for service improvement (de-identified) |
| Stage 2 (Matching) | Provide values-based matching service; deliver match results; with prior consent, share nickname, Instagram ID, values type information, and match result information with matched partner (paused since October 15, 2026 — used again only after re-confirming participation if the service resumes) |
3. Retention Period
- Previously collected data is retained for 6 months from collection and then destroyed. Data whose purpose has been fulfilled or ended due to the matching pause may be destroyed before 6 months have passed.
- Upon user request, data is destroyed within 7 days.
- If a user no longer wishes to remain in the matching queue, data is destroyed immediately upon request.
- Answers to the current values test are not stored on our servers, so no Service-side retention period applies. Data sent to generate the detailed AI profile is handled under the processor's (Anthropic's) API data-handling terms; the Service keeps no separate copy. Records saved in your browser can be deleted by you at any time.
4. Disclosure to Third Parties
- When a match is made, the following information is shared with the matched partner only with the user's prior consent: nickname, Instagram ID, values type information (type name and type code), and match result information (match score, compatibility summary, and conversation starter suggestion).
- No other personal information is disclosed to third parties.
- Exception: Disclosure may be required by applicable law.
5. Data Processing Delegation
The Service delegates data processing to the following third parties for storing and operating previously collected information, website hosting, and detailed AI profile generation. Test answers submitted on or after October 23, 2026 are sent only to Anthropic, solely to generate the detailed profile, and to no other provider.
| Service Provider | Delegated Task | Applicable Stage |
|---|
| Supabase Inc. | Database hosting and storage | Stages 1 & 2 |
| Vercel Inc. | Website hosting | Stages 1 & 2 |
| Anthropic PBC | Detailed values profile generation (AI analysis) — with your consent, 30 answers and type code are sent; nothing is stored on the Service's servers | Current test · former Stage 1 |
| Notion Labs, Inc. | Operational sync copy of previously collected responses and matching sign-up status | Stages 1 & 2 (previously collected) |
| Discord Inc. | Operator notification on matching sign-up — used until October 23, 2026; no new transfers | Stage 2 (ended) |
