rateanddate.com is an online personals service. In order to help members create relationship matches, we must ask for certain personal information.
We are a membership-based service. We collect credit card, address,
or bank information only from those who choose to join.
To provide compatible matches, we must gather personal information, which may
or may not include: 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 but cannot be used to identify a specific member by
name, address, etc. This is public information
Other information is not meant to be seen by other members or visitors. This
information includes, but is not limited to: email address, first name, last name, birthdate, credit card number,
password, mailing address, and telephone number. This is private information.
We primarily use email addresses submitted by members to verify enrollment and when forwarding anonymous
e-mails from members wishing to initiate a match contact.
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 logging in and changing their preference in my account.
Email addresses may also be used in private correspondence with the user for customer service
issues. Financial information that is collected is used to bill the user for products and services. 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 rateanddate.com. All private information can be updated or deleted by the user at any time.
We may collect aggregate information that is not personally
identifiable, such as browser type and IP address. This information is used to provide users with a better
experience on our site as well as to understand the general makeup of users on our site.
Except where you are expressly informed otherwise, we do not sell, rent, share, trade or give away any of your personal information except to the financial institution that processes your credit card unless required by law or for the protection of your membership.
