How can we help?

Answers to the questions we hear most, and the steps for anything you might want to change or remove.

Creating a profile

Build a profile for yourself, or for your son, daughter, sibling or a relative who has asked you to.

A profile is built through a guided, step-by-step form covering family and background, birth details, education and work, lifestyle, and photos. You can stop at any point and your progress is saved as a draft.

One account can hold several profiles, so a parent managing a search for more than one child does not need more than one login.

Filling a profile from an existing biodata

Already have a biodata? Paste it, or upload a screenshot or PDF, and the fields are filled in for you to review.

Instead of typing everything, you can paste the text of a biodata you already have, or attach a screenshot or PDF. The details are read out of it and used to fill the profile form, which you then check and correct before anything is saved.

To read your biodata we send it to a specialist text-and-image processing provider working on our behalf. That is why we ask for your permission first, and why you can say no. Nothing is sent unless you have agreed.

  • It is entirely optional. You can always fill the form in yourself instead.
  • You review every field before the profile is created. Nothing is published automatically.
  • Phone numbers, email addresses and identity numbers such as Aadhaar, PAN, passport and bank account numbers are replaced in pasted text before it is sent. A number written in an unusual way, such as in words, may not be caught, so it is best to leave identity numbers out. Your own phone number and email are put back into the form afterwards.
  • If you attach a photo or a PDF, it is sent as it is, apart from location data stored in photos. Before uploading, cover or crop out photos of people and any identity numbers you would rather not share.
  • The details read from your biodata are kept, encrypted, until you delete the import or your account. The text and files you upload are not stored.
  • You can currently import a biodata 2 times in any 7 days and 10 times in any 30 days, with up to 5 files and PDFs of at most 3 pages. An import that fails because of a problem on our side does not count.

Verification, and why contact details stay hidden

Three levels of verification, and the rule that decides when a phone number becomes visible.

A profile can be verified by email, by mobile one-time code, and by Aadhaar offline eKYC, which is the government-authorised route. A profile earns its verified badge after clearing at least two of the three. Aadhaar confirms identity and nothing else.

Phone numbers and email addresses stay hidden until both sides have completed Aadhaar verification. If a contact looks masked, that is working as intended, not a fault.

Safety and reporting

What to do about a profile that worries you, and why there is no chat.

  • Every profile carries a Report button. Choose a category and a reason, and add a description if you want to. Our team reviews each report.
  • You can hide any profile permanently, and it will not appear in your matches again.
  • The app includes a full safety section: real scam messages seen on Indian matrimonial sites, the red flags worth walking away from, how to meet safely the first time, and guidance for parents and for women.

There is no messaging inside Mafimo, on purpose. No stranger can reach an inbox, because there is no inbox. Once both sides are verified you talk on your own phone, on your own terms.

Child safety

Mafimo is for adults only. What we prohibit, and how to report a concern about a minor.

Mafimo is a matrimonial service for adults, with a minimum age of 21. Child sexual abuse and exploitation are absolutely prohibited. We remove such content, permanently close the accounts responsible, and report to the authorities.

If you believe a profile belongs to someone under 21, or you have any concern about a child, report the profile in the app and email protect@mafimo.com. You do not need an account to email us.

Our full standards, including how we prevent abuse and what happens after a report, are published at https://mafimo.com/child-safety.

Your privacy and your data

What you can review, withdraw and take with you at any time.

  • Permissions are asked for one purpose at a time, and you can review or withdraw any of them from Privacy settings.
  • You can export everything we hold about you as a file, whenever you want it.
  • Contact sync is off until you turn it on. Your contacts are used only to find people you both know, are never shown to anyone as a list, and are never sold.

Our privacy policy explains what is collected and why, and how long it is kept. Read it at https://mafimo.com/privacy.

Deleting your account

How to delete your Mafimo account and everything in it, and how to change your mind.

Mafimo is operated by Applantic.AI, a product of Applantic Technology Labs (OPC) Private Limited. You can delete your account and all of its data from inside the app at any time.

  1. Open Mafimo and sign in.
  2. Go to Account, then Settings.
  3. Choose Delete Account.
  4. Confirm when you are asked to.

Your profiles are hidden from other people straight away. Everything is then permanently deleted after 30 days: your account, every candidate profile you created, your family records, your photos, your saved preferences, your shortlists, and your synced contacts.

You have 30 days to change your mind. Sign in again during that time and you can cancel the deletion and keep everything. After 30 days it cannot be undone.

Some records are kept longer where the law requires it, such as transaction and security logs. If you can no longer sign in, write to protect@mafimo.com from the email address on the account and we will delete it for you.

Deleting some data without closing your account

You do not have to delete everything. These can be removed on their own.

If you want to remove something specific rather than close your account, each of these can be deleted on its own from inside the app.

  • A candidate profile you created, including its photos. Account, then the profile, then Delete. Removed permanently after 30 days, and you can cancel during that time.
  • Your family record, or an individual family member.
  • A profile share link. Revoke it and it stops working immediately.
  • Any permission you have given, from Privacy settings. Withdrawing one stops that use of your data.
  • Photos on a profile, which can be removed individually.

You can also export everything we hold about you from Privacy settings, before deleting anything. To close your account entirely, see the steps at https://mafimo.com/account/delete.

Contacts you have synced cannot be removed on their own. Deleting your account removes them. If you need them cleared sooner, write to us and we will do it.

Why Mafimo is free

There is no paid plan, and there never has been. Here is how that works.

Nothing inside Mafimo costs money. There is no premium tier, no unlock button and no fee to see a contact. Mafimo is supported by advertising, and you can choose whether those ads are personalised.

Because nothing here ever costs money, anyone asking you to pay "for Mafimo" is not from us. Please report them.

Languages and devices

Nine languages, on phone, tablet and the web.

The whole app, not only the menus, works in English, Marathi, Hindi, Gujarati, Telugu, Malayalam, Bengali, Tamil and Kannada. You can change language at any time from settings, and there is a dark theme if you prefer it.

Frequently asked

Is Mafimo really free?

Yes. There is no premium plan, no unlock button and no fee to see a contact. Mafimo is supported by advertising instead. If anyone asks you to pay for Mafimo, they are not from us.

Why can I not message someone?

There is no messaging in Mafimo, and that is deliberate. It means no stranger can reach you. Once you and the other person have both completed Aadhaar verification, contact details become visible and you talk on your own phone.

What does Aadhaar verification actually do?

It confirms that you are who you say you are, using the government-authorised offline route. Your full Aadhaar number is never stored. It is also what unlocks contact details between two verified people.

Who can see my phone number?

Nobody, until both you and the other person are Aadhaar-verified. Until then it stays masked for everyone.

Can my parents manage my profile?

Yes. One account can run profiles for yourself, your children or your siblings, and you can invite a relative to help manage a profile or hand it over to the candidate with an invite code.

What happens to a biodata I upload?

It is sent to a specialist processing provider working on our behalf, which reads the details out of it so the form can be filled in for you. We ask your permission first and you can decline. Identity numbers are removed from pasted text before it is sent, though attached images and PDFs are sent as they are.

Is there a minimum age to use Mafimo?

Yes. You must be at least 21 to hold a Mafimo account, and you confirm that when you sign up. Mafimo is not open to minors in any capacity.

How do I report a profile that belongs to a minor?

Open the profile, choose Report, and describe the concern — please say plainly that you believe a minor is involved. Also email protect@mafimo.com so it is escalated immediately. You do not need an account to email us, and you can report anonymously. Our full child safety standards are at https://mafimo.com/child-safety.

How do I delete everything?

Account, then Settings, then Delete Account. Your profiles are hidden immediately and everything is permanently deleted after 30 days. You can cancel during that time by signing in again.

Still need a hand?

Write to us and a person will reply. We answer in the order questions arrive, during business hours.
