*About us*

Rifqa (رفقة) means companionship. It's a dating app for Arab singles, in Arabic and English, built on three promises: verified means a real person, your privacy comes first, and you set the terms, from casual dates to marriage.

## What we stand for

- **Real people**: Everyone in the verified section has passed a live selfie check. Anyone who hasn't is labelled and kept apart.
- **Privacy first**: Discreet by design: a fuzzy location, encrypted photos and messages, an app lock, a disguised icon, and no advertising.
- **Your terms**: Marriage, something serious, casual dating or new friends. Say what you want, and choose who you see.
- **Arabic and English**: Every screen works in both languages, right to left in Arabic.

## How Rifqa works for you

- **Helpful AI, people in charge**: AI suggests people and conversation starters, checks messages and photos for safety, and answers support first. People on our team make the decisions that matter.
- **Safety you can see**: Moderation, women messaging first, safety check-ins and chaperones are all built in.
- **Your data, your call**: Download your data or delete your account from the app, whenever you like.
