Your Privacy at Valor Romance

We are a military dating site built on trust. This policy explains, in plain English, what data we collect, why we collect it, and the control you keep over it.

★ Last updated: June 1, 2026 · Effective immediately

Our Commitment to Member Confidentiality

Valor Romance exists because service members, veterans, and the women who admire them deserve a dating community that respects their privacy as much as it honors their values. We treat your personal data the same way we ask members to treat one another — with discretion, honesty, and care. This privacy policy applies to everything we do at capitalc.ca, including profile creation, messaging, verification, billing, and customer support.

By using our military dating site you agree to the practices described below. If anything here is unclear, please contact our team — a real human will respond within one business day.

Information We Collect

We only collect the information we genuinely need to make introductions, keep the community safe, and process payments. We do not sell member data, and we never share your military status with advertisers.

Account details

  • Email address, password (hashed), and date of birth at sign-up.
  • Display name, gender, and the gender you are seeking.
  • Optional service branch, active-duty or veteran status, and rank.

Profile content

  • Photos you upload, including your verification selfie.
  • Bio text, interests, lifestyle preferences, and relationship intent.
  • Location at the city level (precise GPS coordinates are never stored).

Usage and communication data

  • Profiles you view, likes you send, and messages exchanged inside our platform.
  • Reports you file against other members and the outcome of moderator review.
  • Support tickets, survey responses, and any feedback you send us.

Device and technical information

  • Device type, browser, operating system, and approximate IP-based region.
  • Cookie identifiers (see the Cookie Policy for details).
  • Crash diagnostics and security events, retained only as long as needed to investigate.

How We Use Your Information

Every piece of data has a single purpose: helping you build a real relationship while keeping the platform safe.

  1. 1Matchmaking. We use your profile details, location, and stated intent to surface compatible members through our military lifestyle matching engine.
  2. 2Verification. Your selfie and optional service documents power the gold star badge that proves identity to other members. We never publish the documents themselves.
  3. 3Safety and moderation. Usage signals and reports allow our 24/7 trust team to remove scammers, bots, and abusive accounts before they reach you. See our safety tips for more.
  4. 4Communication. We deliver match alerts, message notifications, and occasional product updates. You can opt out of marketing email at any time without losing match alerts.
  5. 5Billing. Payment data flows directly to our PCI-compliant processor. We store only the last four digits of your card and the renewal date.

Cookies and Tracking Overview

We use a small set of cookies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and measure how well the military dating site is performing. We do not run third-party advertising trackers and we do not sell behavioral data.

Want the full breakdown?

Our Cookie Policy lists every cookie by name, category (essential, analytics, preference), expiry, and the controls you have through your browser. You can change preferences at any time without losing your account.

Third-Party Services and Partners

To run a secure platform we share narrow slices of data with vetted partners, bound by contract to use it only for the purpose we specify. We never disclose your military service or profile content to advertisers.

  • Payment processors for premium subscriptions. They receive billing details directly; we do not see your full card number.
  • Identity verification providers for selfie matching and optional service verification.
  • Cloud hosting and security partners in U.S. data centers that store encrypted profile and message data.
  • Privacy-respecting analytics that report aggregated traffic patterns. IP addresses are truncated before storage.
  • Email and notification delivery for match alerts and account messages.
  • Legal and compliance services only when we are required to respond to a lawful request.
