What is an Ashley Madison profile?

An Ashley Madison profile is an account created on the infidelity-focused dating website Ashley Madison, which caters specifically to individuals seeking extramarital affairs or discreet romantic encounters. Users create these profiles to search and connect with other members who are also looking for non-committal romantic experiences. A typical profile on the platform may contain basic personal information, preferences, photos, and details about what the user is seeking. The site emphasizes privacy and anonymity, allowing users to manage their identities and sharing details at their discretion. Due to the sensitive nature of its service, Ashley Madison makes security and confidentiality a top priority, especially after experiencing a high-profile data breach in 2015 that exposed many users' profiles.
