MeetandMate.com Privacy Statement

MeetandMate.com is firmly committed to privacy. The protection of your privacy being very important, we have adopted the following practices to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information. We will notify all registered users via your user inbox of any change to this Privacy Statement. From time to time, changes to this Privacy Statement will also be communicated on this site.

What information do you gather automatically from visitors?

We don't collect ANYTHING automatically from our visitors. Don't believe the websites that state, "We will use a cookie to enhance your surfing experience." A cookie is a good way for your significant other to catch you. Don't believe us? Click Start  Search Type "Cookies" and search your harddrive. Double click the "Cookie" folder. Whoola! A signiture from every site you have been to. Guess why our website doesn't make cute sounds or show flashy animations? (Because we don't want to get you caught!)

What information will you ask me for?

When you register to use any MeetandMate.com service you will be asked for some very general information which will enable the database to "profile" you so your next casual date can find you. We gather contact information and demographic information (such as the city you want a casual date). If you choose to join our Service, we may collect financial information (like your credit card number and expiry date). We will only use this information in the course of providing our service to you (billing.) This information is kept in the strictest of confidence. Even if a hacker intercepts your billing transmission, there is little-to-no chance they can break the 128bit SSL encryption.

Once you have registered, you will be given the option of creating a pseudonymous profile (nickname and personal description) within any of our communities where your gender is applicable. Depending on which community you choose, you will be asked for some personal but non-identifying information to complete your profile (i.e. height, body type, etc). This information is not linked in any way to your personally identifiable information, for other members to see. Obviously, if you provide us with a photograph some of your information may become personally identifiable information.

How will this information be used and who has access to it?

Your non-personally identifying information is used to allow other members to find you through a search, and to compose your personal profile - which is associated with a pseudonymous name you have created. Other than your MeetandMate.com provided inbox, your contact information is never available to other members or organizations.

Your financial information (like credit card number) cannot be read by others when you initiate your order through our secured system. You will know you are in secure mode when the tiny padlock icon - located at the bottom of your browser - appears "locked."

The specific information we collect is not shared with other organizations and we will never release your personally identifiable information to an external organization without your prior consent except for the purposes of validating credit information and collecting debts.

Only an internal employee of .COm Endeavors, Inc. or MeetandMate.com has access to your personal. Your profile will be reviewed upon creation to check for conflicts with our terms of use. If the profile is deemed permissible, it will be entered to the database. After entry, it is very unlikely that your profile will be reviewed by an employee again. Your privacy is our success.

How long do you keep the information I've given you?

If you terminate our service by clicking "cancel service," your information will be held indefinitely, should you choose to return. If you terminate our service by clicking "Eject," your information will be destroyed within a couple of working days.

Can I change the information I have already given you?

You can always verify or request the removal of the personally identifiable information we have collected and change your registration information by selecting "My Account" from the taskbar on the site.

Any such request may also be made by contacting the MeetandMate.com at registration@meetandmate.com.

Do you monitor online behavior?

Our members communicate with each other through instant messages and onsite mail. While we do not, as a rule, moderate or monitor members' private exchanges, we reserve the right to do so if we suspect users of being under 18 or of using our service for the purpose of solicitation or any other violation of our terms of use or Privacy Statement. Member submissions that appear on the public area of the site are moderated and, if necessary, we reserve the right to edit, delete, remove or not use any communication on a public area of the site.

Members may choose to participate in community polls. The results of these polls are tracked by gender only and do not reveal any personal identifiable information linked to the individual voters.

Advertisers

When you inquire about advertising opportunities on our site, you will be asked for contact information and information related to your advertising objectives. This information will be used to provide you with the business information you are seeking. Your information is only shared with internal staff and the external ad representation agencies that sell media space on the site, on our behalf. MeetandMate.com sites may contain links to other sites not affiliated with MeetandMate.com. Please note that these other sites may have privacy policies that differ from those of MeetandMate.com. We have no control over any personal information that you provide to these sites.

Affiliates

If you register to become an Affiliate of our site, you will be asked for contact information and information related to your site. Your information will only be used by internal staff and will never be shared with anyone external to the company other than our advisors and representatives without your consent, unless required to do so by operation of law. Your information will be used to secure your approval as an Affiliate, to facilitate communication between our two sites and to send you payment, based on your site's performance.
