Kodavamatrimony.com is committed to provide you with a safe & secure platform in which you search and find your partner. We help our users discover the best matches but it is in the interests of a user to use their best judgment to assess another person’s genuineness and interest in marriage.

Despite all we do to make the platform secure, we advise some precautions while using our sites and apps:

  • If a user appears to have entered false, incorrect information about their education, profession, income, family etc., mark such profiles as 'Report Abuse' and refrain from contacting that user.
  • If a user asks for personal favors like transportation of goods, deposit of funds on their behalf, lend them some money etc., immediately cease any communication with the user and do as advised above.
  • Be cautious of fake or copy sites which may look similar but are actually owned by people who may have malicious intent. Many sites have a similar appearance as Kodavamatrimony.com but they are not in any way related or affiliated to Jeevansathi.com. Please check the URL of the site (it should be www.kodavamatrimony.com) that you are visiting.
  • Representatives from these fake sites may reach out to you to get membership fee or for registering your profiles. Exercise caution and alert our customer service if and when this happens.
  • Beware of people who pretend to call from the Kodavamatrimony team asking for your user id’s and passwords to login to your account. Please note that Kodavamatrimony never asks you for user password information either on phone or in person.
  • Never share your financial details like bank account number, online banking credentials, credit card details etc. and be wary of those who ask for money from you. Use sound judgement and do not take any decision in a hurry.
  • Meet with prospective partners you find on the platform in a safe place and inform your family or friends of the meeting.
  • Do a thorough background research about the person before any commitments are made.

Kodavamatrimony.com is merely a preliminary medium of contact and exchange of information. Users are strongly advised to conduct an independent check/due diligence prior to proceeding with any decisions based on the content of the profile. The onus of verifying the authenticity of the information displayed on a profile lies on the user.

In case you face any of the above stated situations or come across a probable fake profile, immediately notify us on 18004196299 (Toll Free) or help@jeevansathi.com.

Express disclaimers for Predictive Third Party Content

http://kodavamatrimony.com carries active links to another website “matchstro.com” which in turn provides predictive content. However, the said predictive content is not being generated by http://kodavamatrimony.com in-house but has been outsourced to another entity and such outsourced content is being delivered through the channel of http://kodavamatrimony.com.

An astrological prediction is just an opinion of the astrologer and has no scientific authenticity. These predictions are based upon the characteristics, placements, aspects, associations, strengths, weaknesses of the planets and the ability, grip over the subject and experience of the astrologer in Vedic astrology.

A Vedic astrological horoscope is the opinion of one person based on his or her training and experience in the subject. On receiving a particular enquiry from a client, this query is passed to a panel of astrologers for the predictions/remedies and answered within 7 working days or earlier. Generally 2-3 astrologers give their predictions for an enquiry. Another astrologer's opinion on any particular point might differ. Recommendation for astrological remedies such as gemstones, mantras, yantras etc. are often prescribed by astrologers, after a diligent study of the client's birth chart and with due exercise of his prudence and judgment. All Predictions are made based on Horoscope prepared on Birth Database provided by the Client in accordance to the principals of Vedic Astrology.

Though all the predictions are provided by a panel of eminent astrologers, the same should not be used as a substitute to an advice of a licensed professional, medical / psychiatric treatment, study, a curriculum, profession or life style or treatment that you would normally receive from a licensed professional, such as a lawyer, doctor, psychiatrist, or financial advisor. The predictions, opinions and remedial measures of two astrologers on one horoscope may differ and have varied results. It must be clearly understood that every such prescription is accompanied by a prescribed method and procedure, which is expected to be followed by our clients with due diligence. Kodava Matrimony Inc. is not responsible for any claims for negative functioning of any prescription of astrological remedy made by any of astrologers working for matchstro.com.

Privacy and confidentiality features and tools at Kodavamatrimony.com

At Kodavamatrimony.com we believe that protecting the confidentiality and privacy of our registered users is very important. For this reason , our basic features are designed to protect your confidentialty. Further we have sophisticated tools that enable you to set your privacy and confidentiality levels to those that you are comfortable with.

A. Universal Confidentiality features

Profile design
Our profile format is designed so as to prevent people from identifying you unless you wish them to do so. Thus the information that is gathered is general in nature - age, height, gender, caste, ethnicity, occupation, location, family profile, interests, desired partner profile etc. Typically information that will help generate interest among the right prospective life partners without individually identifying you. Uploading photographs is optional.

B. Protect your confidentiality

At Kodavamatrimony.com we understand that different people have different needs for privacy and confidentiality. Thus For this reason we empower our registrants with tools to customize the privacy levels of their profile, photographs and contacts.

Some of these settings are :
For Profile

  • Allow my detailed profile to be viewed by all visitors or
  • Allow my detailed profile to be viewed only by registered users who pass my filters.
  • Don't show my detailed profile or summary profile to any user, I will search and contact profiles.

Profile visibility settings are available in the settings section which is accessible from the header and footer on all pages after login. We recommend that you go in for the first privacy setting as that will get you the maximum response. Frequently our site is searched by casual browsers who are highly qualified, eligible people or friends and relatives of a prospective bride or groom and thus your profile is visible to this important group of visitors.

Of course if you wish to maintain a higher level of privacy and confidentiality then you can go in for the second option. And if you want the maximum level of privacy then you can select the third option.

Please note that in the first two profile visibility options, your summary profile will be viewed by all visitors. It will show your username, age, height, caste, occupation, city and date of updation. Typically these are the details by which you cannot be identified. In the second case, an unregistered user will be prompted to register and it will be checked if they pass your filters and only then would they be able to view your detailed profile. Whereas in the third case nobody will be able to view your summary or detailed profile.

However, we would recommend you to go for the second option because the third option might minimize the number of responses your profile can get.

For Photograph
In case you wish to upload your photograph(s) along with your profile then you have the following options :

  • I want my photos to be visible to all members.
  • I want my photos to be visible only to members I contact and to members I accept.

Thus you get to set that privacy level for your photograph which you feel most comfortable with.

We would however recommend that you do upload your photographs and go in for the first privacy setting option as that is likely to get you the maximum relevant response. The photograph privacy settings options are available in the 'My Photos' section of the 'My Profile' page. This page can be accessed after you have registered your profile.

For contacts
When entering profile on Kodavamatrimony.com you can specify criteria based on which people who do not match your desired partner profile are unable to contact you. Thus you are not bothered by people who you are clear you would not be interested in.

Filter setting are available once you have entered your desired partner profile.

So when you register with Kodavamatrimony.com you register with the most confidential Indian matrimonial site. So register with confidence.
