GATHERING, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF NON-PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING
INFORMATION

 

Users of the Website Generally
“Non-Personally-Identifying Information” is information that, without the aid of
additional information, cannot be directly associated with a specific person.
“Personally-Identifying Information,” by contrast, is information such as a name or
email address that, without more, can be directly associated with a specific person.
Like most website operators, Company gathers from users of the Website
Non-Personally-Identifying Information of the sort that Web browsers, depending on
their settings, may make available. That information includes the user’s Internet
Protocol (IP) address, operating system and browser type, and the locations of the
Web pages the user views right before arriving at, while navigating and immediately
after leaving the Website. Company analyzes Non-Personally-Identifying Information
gathered from users of the Website to help Company better understand how the
Website is being used. By identifying patterns and trends in usage, Company is able
to better design the Website to improve users’ experiences, both in terms of content
and ease of use. From time to time, Company may also release the
Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from Website users in the
aggregate, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Website.

 

We may also periodically obtain both Personally-Identifying Information and
Non-Personally-Identifying Information about you from other Company-affiliated
businesses, business partners, contractors and other third parties and add it to our
account information or other information we have collected. Examples of information
that we may receive include: updated address information, purchase history, and
additional demographic information.

 

We may share aggregated and Non-Personally Identifying Information we collect
with third parties and our affiliate companies to develop and deliver targeted
advertising on our Website and on websites of third parties. We may combine
Non-Personally Identifying Information we collect with additional Non-Personally
Identifying Information collected from other sources. We also may share aggregated
information with third parties, including advisors, advertisers and investors, for the
purpose of conducting general business analysis. For example, we may tell our
advertisers the number of visitors to our Website and the most popular features or
services accessed. This information does not contain any Personally-Identifying
Information and may be used to develop website content and services that we hope
you and other users will find of interest and to target content and advertising.

 

Web Cookies
A “Web Cookie” is a string of information that a website stores on a user’s computer,
and that the user’s browser provides to the website each time the user submits a
query to the site. Company uses Web Cookies to track the pages that users visit
during each Website session, both to help Company improve users’ experiences and
to help Company understand how the Website is being used. As with other
Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from users of the Website,
Company analyzes and discloses in aggregated form information gathered using Web
Cookies, so as to help Company, its partners and others better understand how the
Website is being used. Company does not attempt to link information gathered using
Web Cookies to Personally-Identifying Information. COMPANY USERS WHO DO NOT
WISH TO HAVE WEB COOKIES PLACED ON THEIR COMPUTERS SHOULD SET THEIR
BROWSERS TO REFUSE WEB COOKIES BEFORE ACCESSING THE WEBSITE, WITH
THE UNDERSTANDING THAT CERTAIN FEATURES OF THE WEBSITE MAY NOT
FUNCTION PROPERLY WITHOUT THE AID OF WEB COOKIES. WEBSITE USERS WHO
REFUSE WEB COOKIES ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RESULTING LOSS OF
FUNCTIONALITY.

 

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Website.
These companies may use information (not including any Personally-Identifying
Information) about your visits to this and other websites that are contained in Web
Cookies in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to
you. Using a tool created by the Network Advertising Initiative, you can opt outof
several third party ad servers’ and networks’ Web Cookies simultaneously. If you

having this information used by these companies, please follow the following link:

like to know the identity of the third-party advertising companies we are currently
using to serve ads.

 

Web Beacons
A “Web Beacon” is an object that is embedded in a web page that is usually invisible
to the user and allows website operators to check whether a user has viewed a
particular web page. Company may use Web Beacons on the Website to count users
who have visited particular pages and to deliver co-branded services. Web Beacons
are not used to access users’ Personally-Identifying Information; they are a technique Company may use to compile aggregated statistics about Website usage. Web Beacons collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number,
time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the Web
Beacon resides. You may not decline Web Beacons, however, they can be rendered
ineffective by declining all cookies or modifying your browser setting to notify you
each time a cookie is tendered and permit you to accept or decline cookies on an
individual basis. Third parties are not permitted to use Web Beacons on the Website.

 

Use of Anonymous Information for Research
By using the Website, you agree to allow Company to anonymously use the
information from you and your experiences through the Website to continue
Company’s research into successful relationships and to improve our services. This
research, conducted by psychologists and behavior research scientists, may be
published in academic journals. However, all of your responses will be anonymous,
and we will not publish research containing your personal identifying information.

 

COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING
INFORMATION

 

Website Registration
As defined above, Personally-Identifying Information is information that can be
directly associated with a specific person. Company collects a range of
Personally-Identifying Information from and about Website users. Much of the
Personally-Identifying Information collected by Company about users is information
provided by users themselves at the time they open an account with the Website or
participate in some of the Website’s interactive features. That information may
include each user’s name, address, e-mail address, and telephone numbers, and, if
you transact business with us, financial information such as your payment method
(valid credit card number, type, expiration date or other financial information). We
also may request information about your interests and activities, your gender, age,
user name, date of birth, hometown, other demographic information, and other
relevant information as determined by Company from time to time. Users of the
Website are under no obligation to provide Company with Personally-Identifying
Information of any kind, with the caveat that a user’s refusal to do so may prevent
the user from using certain Website features.

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION AS DESCRIBED IN
THIS “COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING

Online Forums and Public Postings; Other Collection Methods
Certain Personally-Identifying Information collected from users is disclosed as a
matter of course as a result of those users’ use of the Website. We provide areas on
our Website where you can post information about yourself and others and
communicate with others or upload content such as photographs. Such postings are
governed by our Terms of Use. In addition, such postings may appear on other
websites or when searches are executed on the subject of your posting. Also,
whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on publicly-viewable web
pages, that information will be publicly available and can be collected and used by
others. For example, if you post your email address, you may receive unsolicited
messages. We cannot control who reads your posting or what other users may do
with the information you voluntarily post, so we encourage you to exercise discretion
and caution with respect to your personal information. USERS ASSUME ALL
RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS OF PRIVACY OR OTHER HARM RESULTING FROM
THEIR VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION.

 

Company Communications
We may occasionally use your name, email address, and other contact information to
send you notifications regarding new services offered by the Website that we think
you may find valuable. We may also send you service-related announcements from
time to time through the general operation of the service. Generally, you may opt
out of such emails through your account settings or by using the contact information
provided below, though we reserve the right to send you notices about your account
even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.

 

DMCA Infringement Notifications, Notices of Violations of Website Terms of
Use and Other Communications Directed to Company
