What types of information does LoveHappens collect?
Many of the ways in which you interact with our site allow us to learn more about you. We collect both personal and public information when you become a member of LoveHappens.
Personal information includes your email address and self-created password. This information is considered personally identifiable and will not be displayed on our site.
Public information is information that helps us to personalize your LoveHappens experience. Public information may include, but is not limited to, member-submitted information such as your username, first name, gender, age, height, lifestyle information, geographic location, and photo. Much of this information is optional, and meant to be seen by members to support the function of the site as a online dating service.
We collect and store certain technical and other information about the online activities of our users — whether or not they are registered — on an aggregated (or collective) basis. This includes your IP address, browser type, and operating system. LoveHappens does not use this information to identify you or to match it with your activities on the site. We do, however, track the number of people who view each page, and other site usage data, in order to learn which features are the most popular and thereby improve our service. We also record statistical information collected on our site to better understand our audience. This information is recorded as anonymous group statistical information and is not connected to any personal information unless you register as an LoveHappens member.
When you become a member of LoveHappens, your name and email address will be used to create an account with Tickle.com, a partner of LoveHappens, and the worldwide leader in Personality Testing. If you prefer to not link the testing information to your personal information, you may delete your test results in your my account section on Tickle. LoveHappens may use URL tracking in the emails sent to you. When you open such email messages, our system may record the following data: the time you viewed the email and the URLs that you clicked on from that email. URL tracking may use cookies.
We collect credit card information only from those who choose to participate in our pay services and we maintain a record of all transactions.
How does LoveHappens use or disclose my information?
LoveHappens never discloses your personal information to any third party unless you have given us your express permission. LoveHappens uses the public information you voluntarily give us to better understand who you are and provide you with customized services.
LoveHappens may use aggregated, statistical information to describe our audience, services, and to develop partnerships with third parties (i.e., anyone or any entity who is not an employee, agent, or subsidiary of LoveHappens). For example, if 30% of our members were interested in home and gardening, we would share that statistic with a home and gardening service provider in order to offer that service to our members. We would not disclose our members' individual data. Rest assured, we do not disclose your personal information.
LoveHappens uses public information such as your username, first name, gender, age, height, preference/lifestyle information and geographic location for searching and matching purposes.
LoveHappens uses your email address to verify membership and when forwarding anonymous emails to you to from other members.
Your mail address may also be used in private correspondence with you for customer service issues. Financial information that is collected is used to bill you for products and services. All other private information submitted by you is confidential and will not be disclosed except as required by law or to protect members of LoveHappens. All private information can be updated or deleted by you at any time.
LoveHappens may develop special sites in cooperation with other companies. If you register at these "co-branded" sites, we share your registration information (such as name and email address) with that company. If you take a test on a co-branded site, however, we only provide the other company with anonymous, aggregated testing information. Unless explicitly stated, LoveHappens is not responsible for and does not control the data collection practices of those other companies. To learn more about their separate privacy policies, contact the company directly.
Our business is about building a long-term relationship with you. To build that trust, we know that as you spend time on our site, your personal information must remain within your control. Therefore, unless you give us your express permission, except if we believe in good faith that the law requires it, that disclosure is necessary to respond to a subpoena, warrant, or court order, or to protect the rights of LoveHappens or others, we will not share your personal information with unauthorized third parties. We consider your personal information to be exactly that-yours. And we will do our best to protect it!
How do I control or change my information?
Once you become a member of LoveHappens, you may edit your personal information at any time by editing your profile.
How does LoveHappens keep my information secure?
Every LoveHappens employee understands that the privacy of our members is a top priority. Access to members' personal information is strictly limited to our LoveHappens Security Team, comprising a small number of engineers and customer relationship employees. A customer relationship employee will handle your personal information only to respond to your communication or to better understand our audience to help with our editorial direction. The engineers on our Security Team handle personal information when they maintain our site and email newsletters. Rest assured that the members of our Security Team are subject to stringent confidentiality requirements. Any member information disseminated outside of the LoveHappens Security Team is anonymous and aggregated.
Your LoveHappens profile is password-protected so that you are the only member who has access to this information. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. To ensure that you've logged out of your account, please remember to close your browser window when you have finished your visit. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence, especially if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place, such as a library or Internet cafe.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, LoveHappens cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort, including the use of firewalls, to ensure the security of your information on our systems.
What are cookies and how does LoveHappens use them?
Like most sites on the Web, LoveHappens uses cookies to store and track information about you when you're on our site so that we can better provide personalized services that better match your needs and interests. We also use cookies to assess which features on the site are popular among our users.
A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive, then sent back to the server by your browser each time you access certain sections of the site. Cookies allow you to store your email address without having to re-enter it.
Note that the advertising networks serving ads on LoveHappens may also user their own cookies. LoveHappens does not control these cookies or the data collection practices of these companies. For more information about their separate privacy policies, you should contact the third-party advertising network directly. For more information on the privacy policies of our advertisers, see below.
What privacy policies cover the ads on your site?
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our site. These companies may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single pixel gifs or web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and action tags is completely anonymous. If you would like more information about this practice and your choices, click here.
What privacy policies cover transactions with e-commerce partners on your site?
When you provide personal financial and other personally identifiable information to VeriSign, LoveHappens' e-commerce partner, this transaction will occur on VeriSign's site, not LoveHappens. As such, the financial and personally identifiable information you provide is collected by and controlled by the Privacy Policy of VeriSign. Please click here to read their Privacy Policy.
Changes to the LoveHappens Privacy Policy
This policy may change from time to time. If we make any material changes to the policy in the future with regard to how we use your information, we will notify you on our homepage and in our email newsletters.
What happens to my information if LoveHappens is sold to or merges with another company?
While LoveHappens will endeavor to require the successor company to maintain this privacy policy, we cannot guarantee that our policy will remain unchanged if LoveHappens is sold or merges with another company. We will use our best efforts to notify you by email if such a merger or acquisition occurs. As always, in the event of a merger or acquisition, you will be able to edit or delete your profile at LoveHappens.
What if I'm a resident outside of the U.S.?
Like almost every Web site, LoveHappens may be accessed by an international audience. By visiting our Web site and providing us with data, you acknowledge and agree that your personal information may be processed for the purposes identified in this policy. In addition, such data may be stored on servers located outside your resident jurisdiction, which may have less stringent privacy practices than your own. By providing us with your data, you consent to the transfer of such data.
What else should I know about my privacy?
Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online. The few LoveHappens employees who have access to personal data are trained to comply with the above privacy policy and made aware of any updates or modifications.
