Private Discovery.
Traditional Follow-Through.

Other daters only see an anonymous version of your profile — and only if you match their search criteria. Your name, photos, and contact details are never visible to them. Shadchanim (matchmakers) can see your full profile in two situations: if you've set your profile to public for Shadchanim, or if another dater connects with you. Your private details — name, photos, and contact information — are never publicly displayed, regardless of your settings.

All data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS and encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM at the infrastructure level. Sensitive fields — including resume content, questionnaire answers, phone numbers, and private AI context — receive an additional layer of app-level encryption on top of the database encryption. A small number of operational fields, such as email addresses and push notification tokens, rely on database encryption and access controls today; adding app-level encryption to these requires lookup-safe indexing work that is on our roadmap. Browse profiles shared for matching purposes are anonymized and scrubbed of identifying information. All access is governed by server-side authentication and role-based permission checks. A note on anonymization: PII scrubbing is applied rigorously to free-text fields, which substantially reduces re-identification risk — though no heuristic scrubbing method can guarantee perfect anonymity in every case.

Kenegdo doesn't automatically unlock or share your information at any stage. When a shadchan decides the time is right, they share details the way they normally would — sending over a résumé, photos, or other materials directly. The platform supports that process; it doesn't replace it.

Kenegdo is built specifically for Frum Jews and isn't open to the general public. You won't browse through profiles or see who's on the app — but if another dater matches your traits and values, you'll each see an anonymous version of the other's profile. Identifying details are never visible without a shadchan's involvement.

You can browse shadchanim who have made their profiles public, and Kenegdo will surface ones that seem like a good fit for your background and style. If you already have a shadchan you work with, we encourage you to have them sign up on Aizer — our platform for matchmakers — so they can connect with you there and manage the process on their end.

Suggestions go beyond surface-level details. Hashkafah, middot, lifestyle, location, readiness, and non-negotiables are all factored in before anyone is asked to invest time.

Shadchanim use Aizer, our dedicated app for matchmakers. Aizer lets them manage all the singles in their network — including people who aren't on Kenegdo — and connect with new ones who are. If your shadchan isn't on Aizer yet, ask them to reach out to us at support@kenegdo.app.

You'll start with basic information and can build a fuller private profile when you're ready. Kenegdo is live, with new members added in a thoughtful way so the community stays serious and useful.

Kenegdo is live, but growth is still paced carefully to protect quality, privacy, and the seriousness of the process.

No. You can start with basic information. A fuller private profile can be built when you're ready to move forward.

Kenegdo doesn't automatically assign you one. Instead, it surfaces shadchanim who have made themselves public and who work with people of your hashkafic background and style — so you can find someone who's genuinely a good fit.

Yes. You can connect with multiple shadchanim, but one is designated as your primary — your main point of contact whose work syncs directly to your profile. You can manage, archive, or switch your primary shadchan at any time.

A connection can start from either side — you can reach out to a shadchan, or one can reach out to you. Once both sides approve, the relationship is accepted. If you don't yet have a primary shadchan, a newly accepted one can automatically take that role.

A secondary shadchan is any accepted shadchan who isn't your primary. They can still view your profile and suggest connections — which is useful if you work with shadchanim who specialize in specific communities, locations, age groups, or family networks.

Every connection request moves through a clear, structured lifecycle — so both daters and Shadchanim always know exactly where things stand. Statuses include: submitted, in_review, approved, awaiting_other_side, intro_shared, declined, and withdrawn. Each stage gates the next, ensuring private contact details are only shared once both sides are ready.

Don't worry — the request won't disappear. Kenegdo holds it safely until you're ready. Once you choose a Shadchan, they'll be notified right away and can pick up right where things left off.

When you have multiple accepted Shadchanim, Kenegdo intelligently routes each new connection request to whoever has the lightest active workload. The platform compares open, in-progress matches across all your Shadchanim and assigns the proposal to the one best positioned to respond quickly — so your matches get thoughtful attention without unnecessary delays.
