This Policy forms an integral part of the Terms of Use Agreement, which is incorporated by reference.

INTRODUCTION
We respect and uphold individual rights to privacy and the protection of personal information. We know how important it is to protect Your personal information and want to make every customer experience safe and secure. In keeping with that goal, we have developed this Policy to explain our practices for the collection, use, and disclosure of Your personal information.
For the purposes of this Policy, “personal information” means information about an identifiable individual, including, for example, an individual’s height, birth date, name, home address, telephone number, social insurance number, sex, income and marital status. We will only collect, use or disclose personal information in accordance with this Policy, or in accordance with laws applicable to the collection, use and disclosure of Your personal information by us (“Applicable Privacy Laws”).
COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We collect two types of information through our Website: personal information and non-personal information. The types of information we collect depend on the nature of Your interaction with us.
Personal information
We may collect personal information such as:
a. Your contact information – for example, Your name and email address;
b. Your personal preferences- for example, language preferences, and marketing consent; and
c. Your profile information- for example, photographs You upload, and other information You provide
in Your personal profile.
Non-personal information
Non-personal information does not identify You as an individual. For example:
a. we may collect certain non-personal data when You visit our Website, such as the type of browser you are using or the referring URL; or
b. we may collect and summarize customer information in a non-personal, aggregate format for statistical and research purposes. We may, for example, summarize our data to determine that a certain percentage of users are male, aged 18 to 25.
You may choose not to provide us with Your personal information. However, if You make this choice we may not be able to provide You with the service, or information that You requested. For example, we require Your email address in order to verify Your account, which is necessary so that notifications may be sent to You electronically. We will not send You notifications after Your account is deleted.
USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may use Your personal information for a number of different business purposes, for example to:
a. create and display Your online profile to other users of the Website;
b. compare Your profile and preferences with that of other users to provide both You and other users with potential matches;
c. provide customer support to assist You with Your questions or complaints;
d. conduct surveys in order to improve our services;
e. advise You of changes to our services, or new services that we may implement from time to time;
f. measure and improve the effectiveness of our Website or our marketing endeavours;
g. detect and protect against fraud and error;
h. track and analyze Your preferences to better understand Your service needs and eligibility; and
i. for other purposes as described in this Policy.
We limit the personal information we collect and use to that which is necessary to fulfill our business purposes. We will not collect, sell, distribute or use personal information for any other purposes without Your further consent, except to the extent as required by law or as authorized by Applicable Privacy Laws.
YOUR CONSENT
When You choose to provide us with Your personal information You consent to the use of Your personal information as identified in this Policy and as may be further identified at the time of collection.
Express Consent
Sometimes You will be asked to give Your express consent to our collection, use or disclosure of personal information – for example, by being asked to check a box to indicate Your consent to receive marketing communications.
Implied Consent
Other times, You may provide Your implied consent to our collection, use or disclosure of personal information when we can reasonably conclude that You have given consent by some action You have taken or an action You have decided not to take. Generally, this occurs where the purpose for the use of Your personal information would be reasonably apparent to You – for example, when You provide us with personal information through forms to populate Your online profile, You provide us with implied consent to publish that information for other users of the Website to view.
Withdrawing Your Consent
You may notify us at any time that You wish to withdraw or change Your consent to our use and disclosure of Your information. We will accommodate Your request subject to legal and contractual restrictions.
INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT DIRECTLY FROM YOU
Listed here are some further examples of the ways that we collect personal information directly from You and how we use it.
Follow-Up and Surveys
From time to time, we may send You a follow-up letter to thank You for Your use of the Website, or we may contact You to ensure that You are completely satisfied. We may use contact information collected online to conduct occasional surveys and other customer research. These surveys are entirely voluntary and You may easily decline to participate.
Our Website
Our Website can be browsed anonymously. However, to engage in certain special features or functions of our Website, You may be asked to provide certain personal information, such as Your email address or demographic information.

Advertising Campaigns
To supplement our website, we rely on advertisers who wish to serve advertisements to some or all of our users (“Campaigns”) to generate revenue. We never share Your personal information with our advertisers for their Campaigns. However, we will use elements of Your personal information to create a list of users that advertisers may want to direct their Campaigns to. Advertisers may decide to serve advertisements to all of our users (“General Campaigns”), or to send messages to specific segments of our user base (“Direct Campaigns”) based on particular personal characteristics (for example, age, sex or geographic location). In the case of Direct Campaigns, we may use different elements of Your personal preferences to develop and display advertising content tailored to Your preferences.
Matching
From time to time we will use some elements of Your personal information (such as Your personal preferences or Your profile information) to generate and send You a list of possible matches from among our other users.
Customer Support Center
We operate an electronic customer support center to accept and address Your questions, concerns, or complaints. When You contact our customer support center, we may ask for personal information to help us respond to Your inquiry or to verify Your identity. For example if You need to make a change to Your account, we will ask for personal information to verify that You are the account holder. We may also monitor or record Your online or telephone discussions with our customer support representatives for training purposes and to ensure service quality.
