AI & Automated Processing
Linked from footer, Privacy Policy, and Aria's first-run screen.
Where AI is used at Marlow
1. Matching. Introductions are curated by automated systems that analyze your application
answers (including free-text), preferences, photos, city and travel patterns, and your
accept/pass decisions, combined with human oversight. Every match includes a plain-language
explanation of why it was made.
2. Photo analysis. Automated systems check photos for quality (a clear face photo, heavy
filters), authenticity signals, and pairing-relevant characteristics used internally by the
matching system. Photo analysis never produces a score shown to you or any member, and face
verification data is governed by the Biometric Consent.
3. Aria, your coach. Aria is an AI assistant — not a human, not a therapist. California
members: this is your bot disclosure; everyone else: it's still true.
4. Application parsing. AI extracts structured signals from your written answers (values,
attachment markers, deal-breakers) to feed matching and Aria's personalization.
5. Date ideas & rationale text. Generated by AI from both members' stated preferences.
What Aria is and isn't
— Aria offers relationship-skills information, conversation help, date planning, and
reflection prompts, drawing on published relationship research.
— Aria is not a licensed therapist, psychologist, physician, or crisis service, and does
not provide medical, mental-health, legal, or financial advice. Nothing Aria says is a
diagnosis or treatment.
— For heavy topics — grief, abuse, self-harm, substance dependence — Aria is designed to pause
coaching and point you to qualified human help. **If you are in crisis, contact local
emergency services, or in the US call/text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).**
— Aria will never knowingly help you manipulate or deceive another person, and is not permitted
to discuss internal scores or rankings.
Your rights around automated processing
— Human in the loop where it matters: application decisions and account terminations always
involve human review — no fully automated rejection with significant effects.
— Explanations: every match ships with its rationale; you can ask support how a specific
automated decision about your account was reached.
— Objection & deletion: you can object to profiling, delete Aria history, or delete your
account (which erases matching signals) — Privacy Dashboard, or privacy@marlowlove.com.
— No third-party training: your content is processed under agreements that prohibit our AI
providers from training their models on it.
Honesty clause
AI systems make mistakes: a rationale can overstate fit, a parsed signal can be wrong, a date
idea can miss. Marlow's promise is curation with accountability — tell us when the system gets
you wrong (one tap of feedback on any match) and it adjusts.
