<h1>Confidentiality, consent, and data-security liabilities for premium matchmaking services under Section 43A IT Act and consumer law</h1> A private matchmaking service markets itself to wealthy clients by promising non-searchable profiles, consent-based disclosures, dedicated relationship managers, and controlled communications to protect reputation and personal data. Legally relevant issues include enforceability of confidentiality commitments, adequacy of consent and data-security measures under Indian data-protection and consumer-protection principles, potential liabilities for unauthorized disclosures or misleading claims, and contractual terms governing introductions and information sharing. Providers should document explicit consent, retention and access controls, breach response procedures, and limit publicity rights; clients should seek contractual remedies and indemnities for reputational harm. Regulatory scrutiny could arise from data-privacy, advertising, and fiduciary-duty lenses.
