Is Isthmus Introductions a legitimate matchmaking service?
FAQs
Isthmus Introductions is a private, Madison-based introduction service created for singles who prefer a more intentional and discreet alternative to dating apps. We focus on thoughtfully connecting relationship-minded individuals based on compatibility, attraction, values, and long-term goals.
2. Why is the photo gallery private?
Discretion is an important part of our process. We don’t believe someone’s photographs or dating life need to be publicly available online simply because they’re looking for a relationship.
For that reason, photographs are kept in password-protected galleries and shared only with individuals being considered for an introduction. This also allows our clients to date privately while maintaining their personal and professional lives.
3. Why do I need to submit information before viewing the private gallery?
Because our galleries aren’t publicly accessible, we ask for some basic information before granting access. This helps us confirm that inquiries are genuine and gives us a preliminary idea of whether the two of you could potentially be compatible.
Requesting access does not obligate you to pursue an introduction. It simply allows us to review your inquiry and, when appropriate, provide access to the private gallery.
4. What information do you collect, and how is it used?
At this stage, we ask only for basic contact information such as your name, email address, phone number and age, along with a few questions intended to help us understand relationship compatibility.
We do not ask for Social Security numbers, banking information, credit-card information or other financial information to request gallery access.
The information you provide is used to review your inquiry, communicate with you about the introduction process, and determine whether there may be potential compatibility.
No. Your information is not sold, published or placed on a public dating profile.
Information submitted through Isthmus Introductions is treated as private and is used for the introduction and matchmaking process. We believe discretion should extend to everyone involved—not only the person whose gallery you’re viewing.
5. Will my information be sold or shared with anyone?
6. Is there a fee to participate?
There is no fee to request access to the private gallery or to be considered for an introduction.
There is also no obligation to proceed after viewing the photographs. If you decide they aren’t the right match for you, that’s perfectly fine.
Once your inquiry is received, it will be personally reviewed. If it appears that you may be a potential match, you’ll receive instructions for accessing the private photo gallery.
After viewing the gallery, you can simply indicate whether you’d like to continue. If the interest appears mutual, we’ll contact you directly regarding the next step and a potential introduction.
Nothing moves forward without your interest.
7. What happens after I request access?
8. What if I view the photos and don’t feel they are my type?
That’s completely okay—and it’s exactly why we allow you to privately view photographs before arranging an introduction.
Physical attraction is personal, and we don’t believe anyone should feel pressured to pursue a match that doesn’t feel right. If they aren’t your type, you can simply decline the introduction.
If you’d still like to be considered for another potential match, you can let us know at that time.
9. Can I speak with someone before submitting my information?
Absolutely. We understand that you may have questions before sharing any personal information.
You’re welcome to contact Isthmus Introductions directly before submitting an inquiry. We’re happy to explain the process, answer questions and allow you to decide whether you’re comfortable proceeding.
10. Can I have my information removed?
Yes. If you decide you no longer wish to participate, you may contact us and request that the personal information associated with your inquiry be removed from our records, subject to any information we’re legally required to retain.
We want participation in the introduction process to remain entirely voluntary.
11. How do you protect the privacy of professionals and individuals who prefer discretion?
Privacy is one of the reasons Isthmus Introductions uses a private introduction model in the first place.
We don’t publish public dating profiles, searchable member directories or open photo galleries. Personal photographs and identifying information are shared selectively as part of the introduction process rather than displayed to the general public.
This allows professionals, business owners and other privacy-conscious individuals to explore a potential relationship without unnecessarily broadcasting their personal lives online.
