Introduction

lovelounge is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal information we gather and how it is used and protected.

lovelounge DOES NOT sell, lease, or disclose any personal information collected such as your email address or photos.

Information we gather

The lovelounge website is an online dating personals site which provides you with useful tools to communicate and build relationships online and hopefully offline too.

In our online application form, we ask you to provide us with certain information, comprising:

• a username/password;
• your age;
• your location;
• an email address, which you have the option to show in the advert or hide from view;
• your sex;
• optional additional information (your advert);
• optional social networking links;

Once your advert has been approved, users will have access to your:

• username;
• your email if you chose to show it;
• location;
• age;
• sex;
• optional photos;
• optional social networking links;
• your advert;

Other members do not have access to your:

• name (unless you included it in your profile);
• password;
• email address (unless you chose to show it);

Replies to Lovelounge Dating Ads

• Photos included with a reply to an ad are stored on the server. The email will contain links to view the images.
• A copy of the reply will be stored for statistical purposes.

User activity on the site is logged and tracked using IP addresses. Only administrators of the site have access to this information.

Once you are a member of the site, you are able to edit/delete all your personal information.

How lovelounge uses your information

With every visit to lovelounge, our web server collects some general information, such as:

• browser software/version;
• operating system compatibility;
• for most activity, IP addresses;

This information is used for statistical purposes to improve the service provided to you by us.

Users may receive newsletters from time to time. These will contain relevant information about lovelounge.

Cookies

The lovelounge website requires the use of “cookies” to enhance the user’s experience.

When you log into lovelounge, your computer will automatically be issued with a cookie. Cookies are text files that identify your computer to our server. Cookies in themselves do not identify the individual user, just the computer used. Many sites do this whenever a user visits their site in order to track traffic flows.

Cookies themselves only record those areas of the site that have been visited by the computer in question, and for how long. Users have the opportunity to set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. Using this last option, of course, means that certain personalised services cannot then be provided to that user.

If you have a firewall installed, this may also block cookies being written to your system. You should be able to allow the lovelounge domain by altering the settings on your firewall to do so.

lovelounge Commitment to Data Security

Every effort is made to secure the site and our members’ details, including but not limited to, the use of encryption tools and software, and other reasonable security measures and procedures.

Our Disclosure of Your Information

lovelounge DOES NOT sell, lease, or disclose any personal information collected such as your email address or photos.

Members’ email addresses are not published on the site (unless you choose to include it in text that you submit for inclusion in the site) so there is no way of email “harvesters” collecting them from lovelounge.

lovelounge will cooperate with all law enforcement enquiries and with all third parties to enforce their intellectual property or other rights. We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or legal process served on our website.

Your use of Other Users’ Information

You may not use other users’ information for commercial purposes, to spam, to harass, to make unlawful threats or for any other unlawful purpose. Lovelounge reserves the right to terminate the membership of any member who misuses the personal information relating to another member or who otherwise violates the lovelounge Terms of Use.

Your Password

Protection of your password is your own responsibly. Noone else has access to it, including the site administrators. It is encrypted on the server.

You may not disclose your password to any third parties. If, despite the foregoing, you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personally identifiable information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately change your password or notify the administrators.

Changes to this Statement

Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We expect most such changes to be minor. In the event of changes, we will post those changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will also provide a more prominent notice.
