Citymatchmaking.com is firmly committed to privacy. The following
discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this
website.
The protection of your privacy is very important and we have adopted the
following practices to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information.
We will notify all advertisers via email of any change to this Privacy Statement,
unless you have opted-out of receiving email from us. From time to time,
changes to this Privacy Statement will also be communicated on this site.
We use your IP address (the series of numbers associated with your individual
computer) to help us maintain our site and identify problems with our server.
Your IP address does not disclose any personally revealing information about
you. We do use cookies to identify traffic that comes through advertising
and to facilitate a more user-friendly experience. Cookies are small pieces
of information that a web site places on your computer hard drive so we
know it is you when you visit. This helps us to create a personalized experience
for you when you visit our site. The use of cookies is a very common practice
on the Internet. If you are uncomfortable with this, you can disable all
cookies through your browser settings. Your enjoyment of our site wont
be affected if you have set your browser to reject cookies.
By establishing an Ad Profile on Citymatchmaking.com you
will be asked for some general identifying information which will enable
us to provide you with this individualized service. We gather contact information
(like your email address), and demographic information (like your city of
residence or age). We may share some of this information for our own research
purposes with our professional advisors or consultants and third party partners;
however the information shared will be limited to non-personally identifying
demographic information shared under cover of a confidentiality agreement.
If you choose to become an Advertiser, we 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.
Once you have created an Ad Profile, you will be given the option of creating
a pseudonymous profile (nickname and personal description) where your gender
is applicable. Depending on where you place your Ad Profile, you will be
asked for some personal but non-identifying information to complete your
profile (e.g., height, body type, race, religion, whether you smoke, 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.
We may use your contact information to send you valuable updates and timely
notices of promotions and mailbox status reports. Our site provides you
with the opportunity to receive different types of communications from us.
Your non-personally identifying demographic information is used to personalize
your experience, allow other members to find you through a search, to compose
your personal profile - which is associated with a pseudonymous identity
you have created - and to deliver targeted advertising and promotional offers
to you from external companies that are of the highest relevance to your
demographic profile. Other than your mail Box, your contact information
is never available to other members or organizations.
In the event that you decide to establish an Ad Profile on Citymatchmaking.com,
members will be asked for financial information (like credit card number
if paying by credit card) which cannot be read by others when you initiate
your order through a secured system. The personally identifiable information
we collect from you is used for internet review and to improve the content
and functionality of our web server or customize the layout of our pages
for each individual member. The specific information we collect is not shared
with other organizations and we will never release your personally identifiable
information to any third party or external organization without your prior
consent except for the purposes of validating credit information and collecting
debts, or unless we reasonably believe we are required to do so by operation
of law.
We keep the information you have given us for as long as your Ad Profile
stays active or hidden.
Our clients communicate with each other through onsite message mail and
Instant Messaging. While we do not, as a rule, moderate or monitor advertisers
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. 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.
