Last updated: July 2026 · Applies to the Berdua waitlist and website.
Berdua ("Berdua", "we", "us") is a dating service for Southeast Asia, operated by Berdua Pte. Ltd. (Singapore, in incorporation). We are committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA).
At this waitlist stage, we collect only what you give us and basic technical data:
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Email address | To contact you about early access |
| City | To know where to launch and when to notify you |
| Dating intent (e.g. serious, marriage-minded) | To understand demand and tailor the service |
| Consent flag & timestamp | To record your consent |
| Basic technical data (e.g. via our hosting) | To operate and secure the website |
To notify you about early access and launch, understand demand across the region, and improve Berdua. We do not sell your personal data, and we will not use it for unrelated purposes without your consent.
We collect and use your data with your consent, given when you join the waitlist. You may withdraw consent at any time by emailing dpo@berdua.asia; we will then stop contacting you and delete your waitlist data unless we are required to keep it. Marketing emails are optional — you can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email.
We use trusted service providers to run the waitlist: Supabase (database) and Vercel (website hosting). They process data on our behalf under their own security and privacy commitments. We may disclose data if required by law.
Our providers may store or process data on servers outside Singapore. Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure your data receives protection comparable to the PDPA.
We keep waitlist data until launch in your market or until you withdraw consent — whichever is earlier — after which we delete or anonymise it, unless retention is legally required.
You may request access to, or correction of, your personal data, or withdraw consent, by emailing our Data Protection Officer at dpo@berdua.asia. We aim to respond within a reasonable time.
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures — including access controls and encryption in transit — to protect your data. No method is perfectly secure, but we work to safeguard it and will notify you and the PDPC of any significant data breach as required.
Berdua is strictly for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.
We may update this policy as Berdua grows. Material changes will be posted here with a new "last updated" date.
