answer, the answers they would accept from partners, and the level of importance they place on the question. The results of these questions can be hidden, or made visible to other users. OkCupid describes in generic terms the algorithm used to calculate match percentages. All users are notified of a match, with paying subscribers receiving the user name along with the notification. Subscribers who pay for the "Premium" level of service will also see the profile name if someone "Likes" that user. Match percentage is determined by match questions you've answered, how important users marked them, age, location, gender, orientation, and other factors listed in their "Preferences". Even if someone has answered little or no match questions, they may still see a high percentage match with them if their other preferences align with one another. Criticism There's no function to remove answers to Questions, they can only be modified, and there's no way to bulk reset all answers before account deletion, which may cause privacy issues for users who wish to leave an empty account before they delete it to avoid being exploided by data monetization from OkCupid. However, user commented questions are listed under "EXPLAINED" which makes it possible to manually delete the comments for them.
