The following are the terms to be followed being the Users of UofYDating.com. Our Site offers to maintain the Privacy of all Users with regard to the following details:

What information do we collect from you?

UofYDating.com is an online dating service designed to provide an easy way for our Members to meet each other through the most popular media service of the day, the Web. To achieve this, our members create their own unique profiles and our Dating Service provides them matches based on their preferred criteria. In order to do this, we need to obtain certain personal information of theirs. None of the information we gather can be used by the public (visitors, other members, or anyone not employed by UofYDating.com) to identify specific individuals.

Information provided to UofYDating.com.

There are two types of user-submitted information we collect: Public and Private. We define Public information as personal information that may be displayed on the site, such as gender, age and height, but cannot be linked to a particular user. Private information is defined as any information that allows others to contact a user other than through UofYDating.com or allows the collection of information about the user other than what is displayed on the site.

Public: To accomplish our goal of bringing compatible people together, we must gather personal information, which may or may not include: customer-specified UofYDating.com username, gender, age, ethnic background, appearance, religion, income range, occupation, preference/lifestyle information and general geographic location. Much of this information is optional, and meant to be seen by members and visitors to the site but cannot be used to identify a specific member by name.

Private: This information is gathered from members and guests who apply for the various services our site offers. This information includes, but is not limited to: email address, birth date and a user-specified password.

How do we use the information collected?

Public: Public information supplied by the user is intended to be viewed by visitors to the site. This information is used by visitors for searching and dating purposes. Public information cannot be used to identify a specific member by name.

Private: We primarily use Email addresses submitted by members to verify enrollment and when forwarding e-mails from ad responders. Respondees' email addresses are not disclosed to the responder. We may also use a user's email address to send news regarding our site, but the user may choose not to receive email of this type by contacting us. Email addresses may also be used in private correspondence with the user for customer service issues. All other private information submitted by the user is confidential and will not be disclosed except as required by law or to protect members of UofYDating.com. All private information can be updated or deleted by the user at any time.

With Whom We Share your Information

Except where you are expressly informed otherwise or as described immediately below, we do not sell, rent, share, trade or give away any of your personal information unless required by law or for the protection of your membership.

Links on this Site

This site may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that UofYDating.com is not responsible for the privacy practices of other Web sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.

Correcting/Updating or Removing Information

UofYDating.com gives users several options for modifying or removing their information from our database. Please visit My Profile located on the top of this page to access your information.

Changes in Our Privacy Policy

If we change our privacy policy, we will prominently post a link to those changes on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner, and we will then use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.

Security

UofYDating.com takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.

While we use Standard encryption Methods to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information.

Email Choice/Opt-out

Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for the information.

Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving these communications by following the instructions contained in the email.
