Privacy Policy

How Farmers Match collects, uses, and protects your information as part of our farmers dating service.

Last updated: July 26, 2026

Farmers Match respects the privacy of every farmer, rancher, and rural single who joins our community. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep this document plain and honest - the same values we ask of our members.

Information We Collect

Farmers Match collects only the information needed to run a safe, genuine dating platform. This falls into three categories: the details you provide, the way you use the site, and technical data gathered automatically.

Account and Profile Data

When you create a free profile, we collect your name, email address, location (state or region), age, and the profile content you choose to share - such as your farm type, lifestyle priorities, relationship intentions, and photos. You control how much you disclose and can update or remove most of this at any time.

Usage Data

We record how you interact with Farmers Match, including pages you view, searches you run, and profiles you browse. This helps our compatibility system surface better matches and helps us improve the platform. Because our pages are built to work whether or not scripts load, this activity is captured reliably without hiding signals behind unrendered content.

Cookie and Device Data

We automatically collect technical details such as your browser type, device, approximate location from your IP address, and cookie identifiers. This keeps you logged in, remembers your preferences, and protects your account from suspicious activity.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to operate the platform, match you with compatible members, and keep the community safe. We do not sell your personal data to third parties. Specifically, we use your information to:

  • Create and maintain your account and public profile.
  • Match you with members who share your values, lifestyle, and relationship intentions.
  • Enable messaging and connections between members.
  • Review profiles and monitor activity to protect against fraud, bots, and abuse.
  • Send service-related notices, match suggestions, and, if you opt in, occasional updates.
  • Improve site features, search accuracy, and overall dating site safety.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms & Conditions.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small files that let Farmers Match remember your session, preferences, and login status. We use essential cookies to keep the site working and optional analytics cookies to understand how members use our farmers dating service. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time, though some features may not work without them. For a full breakdown of the cookies we use and how to control them, see our Cookie Policy.

Your Data Rights and Choices

You remain in control of your personal information on Farmers Match. Depending on where you live, you have the following rights:

  • Access. Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correct. Update inaccurate or incomplete profile information directly in your account settings.
  • Delete. Ask us to remove your account and associated personal data.
  • Opt-out. Unsubscribe from marketing emails and adjust your communication preferences.
  • Restrict. Limit how we process certain information or object to specific uses.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and may need to verify your identity to protect your account.

Data Security Measures

Protecting your information is central to how we run a trustworthy community. We use encryption to secure data in transit, restrict internal access to personal information, and review member profiles to keep the platform genuine. Our profile verification practices help reduce fake accounts and support dating site safety across the community.

No online platform can promise perfect security, so we encourage every member to use a strong password, keep login details private, and follow the guidance on our Safety Tips page. Together, these measures help keep Farmers Match a safe place to meet other rural singles.
