Positivelove.com
is committed to protecting the privacy of our members. Your privacy
is very important to us and we will take all necessary steps to
protect it. Any information collected is used to help you make
the most of your experience on Positivelove.com.
About Positivelove.com
Positivelove.com operates a high quality Internet based personals
service that allows men and women living with HIV/AIDS, Herpes
or any other STD's to meet and engage in electronic conversations
from the safety and comfort of their home computer.
Information Collected
We gather four types of information: public, private, communicative,
and automatic.
|
Public:
|
|
| - |
Definition
Public information will be available for registered members
to view. This includes your demographic information such as
gender, age, appearance, religion, occupation, and geographical
location. |
| - |
Purpose
Your demographic information is used to: personalize your
experience; allow other members to find you through a search
result; and compose your personal profile which is associated
with an identity you have created. |
|
Private:
|
|
| - |
Definition:
Private information is information that can personally identify
you such as your real name, email address or credit card number.
|
| - |
Purpose:
When you register, you will be asked for some general identifying
information to enable us to provide you with this individualized
service. We gather contact information (such as your email
address) and, if you choose to make a purchase, financial
information (such as your credit card number and expiry date).
This information is encrypted via a secure server to ensure
that others cannot read it. Once on the secure server, your
credit card information is sent to a third party intermediary
for processing. You will know you are in secure mode when
the tiny padlock icon - located at the bottom right of your
browser - appears "locked". We will only use this
information in the course of providing our service to you.
The specific information we collect is not rented, sold, or
shared with any third party, except to the financial institution
that processes your transaction or where required by law.
|
|
Communicative:
|
|
| - |
Definition:
Communicative information is exclusive between the parties
involved in some form of communication through this web site.
Information such as your internal messaging conversations,
email messages to our service personnel, are considered communicative
information. |
| - |
Purpose:
We store your messages for the purpose of our anonymous internal
messaging system. Just like email, messages must be stored
somewhere in order to deliver them. We allow you to utilize
our internal messaging system so that you may remain anonymous
by not giving up your email address to other members. |
|
Automatic:
|
|
| |
Definition:
Automatic information is information that we collect that
is not personally identifiable such as your IP address, browser
type, and browser settings. None of this information discloses
any of your personal information.
|
| |
Purpose:
We use your IP address to avoid fraudulent registrations.
Information that we may obtain regarding your browser and
browser settings is to ensure that our site's technical features
are available to you. The specific information we collect
is not rented, sold, or shared with any third party without
your explicit consent and is only ever disclosed in situations
where required by law. |
