Lovenotes Dating - Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy forms part of our Terms & Conditions.
We have collected several different types of information from you:
1. Information provided by you
You have provided us with information such as your name, contact details and account information to enable us to provide you with our services and to verify your identity, if required.
Except where we are legally required to disclose information (e.g. by court order), we will not disclose your name and contact details to any other person without your consent.
We will use our best endeavours to ensure that your financial information is securely transmitted and protected at all times.
You have the right to access and/or request the correction of any of your personal information collected by us.
2. Information that you have entered into your profile
Information that you have entered into your profile is public information that may be potentially viewed by any internet user. It is your responsibility to control the amount of information that you provide so as to protect your privacy.
3. Email communications
We have provided you with the ability to e-mail other members via our online dating services website. While we recognise that any such e-mail communications are private between members, we reserve the right to read e-mails where we have reason to suspect that a member may have breached our Terms & Conditions.
4. Website usage
When you use our internet dating services website, our server (or our agent's or contactor's server) collects the following information provided by your browser:
- your server's IP address or your IP address;
- the type of browser and operating system you are using;
- the domain name of the referring site;
- the date and time of your visit;
- keywords used;
- country of origin;
- the URL address of the pages accessed and documents downloaded.
This information does not personally identify you and is collected so that we can identify trends and statistics, such as which parts of the site users are visiting, and which features are most popular. This information is used for our purposes only and will not be sold or supplied to third parties.
Our online dating services website may place a "cookie" on the hard drive of your computer. A "cookie" is a small text file which allows us to track usage patterns and deliver customised content to users. It will enable us to:
- relate your use of the site to information that you have specifically provided to us, such as a member password for any services we may provide via our online dating services website; or
- allow your computer's browser to track searches you have performed on the dating website.
We use two types of "cookies". "Session cookies" are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file on your browser until you leave the site. These ensure that you are recognised as you move from page to page within one site and that any information that you have entered is remembered. "Persistent cookies" remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer and enables a website to remember you on subsequent visits, speeding up or enhancing your experience or functions offered.
5. Third party websites
We may at times promote the use of third party websites. If you click on a link you may be redirected to another website whose privacy policies may differ from our own. We do not endorse the websites of any third parties.
We recommend that you familiarise yourself with the privacy policies of any such third party websites.
6. Security of username, email address and password
You are responsible for ensuring the security of your username, e-mail address and password. If you disclose this information to third parties, then you are solely responsible for any misuse of that information.
7. Changes to our Privacy Policy
We may at our sole discretion, amend this policy from time to time. Any changes will take effect immediately once they are posted to our website. It will be your responsibility to familiarise yourself with any changes. Your continued membership after changes have taken effect confirms your acceptance of those changes.
Please contact us if you have any queries about our Privacy Policy.
