In General. We may collect Personal Information.

When providing Sensitive Data to us, you consent to the legal (as permitted by privacy laws) collection, use, and disclosure of Sensitive Data.
With your consent, your geolocation information may also be collected through a website, mobile application, or other online services. By using the Service, you are authorizing us to gather, parse and retain data related to the provision of the Service. When you provide personal information through our Service, the information may be sent to servers located in the United States and countries around the world.

This information could include your IP address, device ID and type, your browser type and language, the operating system used by your device, access times, your mobile device’s geographic location while our application is actively running, and the referring website address.
Cookies and use of cookie and similar data.
When you visit our Service, we may assign your device one or more cookies or other technologies that facilitate personalization to facilitate access to our Service and to personalize your experience.

Pixel tags.
We may embed pixel tags (also called web beacons or clear GIFs) on web pages, ads, and emails. These are used to access cookies and track user activities (such as how many times a page is viewed). Use of pixel tags to measure the popularity of our features and services. Ad companies also use pixel tags to measure the number of ads displayed and their performance (such as how many people clicked on an ad).
Mobile device IDs.
If you’re using our app, we may use mobile device IDs (the unique identifier assigned to a device by the manufacturer) or Advertising IDs (for iOS 6 and later) instead of cookies to recognize you. This is done to store your preferences and track your use of our app. Unlike cookies, device IDs cannot be deleted, but Advertising IDs can be reset in “Settings” on your iPhone. Ad companies also use device IDs or Advertising IDs to track your use of the app, track the number of ads displayed, measure ad performance, and display ads that are more relevant to you. Analytics companies use device IDs to track information about app usage.

- Analysis of your use and interest in our and/or third parties products, services, or content;

With whom we share your information
When you register as a user of Lesbian Adventures in Dating, your Lesbian Adventures in Dating profile is not viewable by other users of the Service.
Personal information.
We do not share your personal information with others unless you participate in a dating event and you indicate interest in someone (for friendship or romance) AND, they also indicate interest in you (for friendship or romance). When there is a match, you will be provided with the email and or phone number you provide us when registering for an event.
We may share personal information with:
Service providers.
We may share information, including personal and financial information, with third parties that perform certain services on our behalf. These services may include fulfilling orders, providing customer service and marketing assistance, performing business and sales analysis, ad tracking and analytics, member screenings, supporting our Service functionality, and supporting contests, sweepstakes, surveys and other features offered through our Service. These service providers may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but are not permitted to share or use such information for any other purposes.
Other Situations.
We may disclose your information, including personal information:
In response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order, or a request for cooperation from law enforcement or other government agency; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases, we may raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us.
When we believe disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud, or other wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of our company, our users, our employees, or others; to comply with applicable law or cooperate with law enforcement, or to enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements or policies.
In connection with a substantial corporate transaction, such as the sale of our business, a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.
Aggregated and/or non-personal information.
We may use and share non-personal information we collect under any of the above circumstances. We may also share it with other Lesbian Adventures in Dating companies and third parties to develop and deliver targeted advertising on our Service and websites or applications of third parties and to analyze and report on advertising you see. We may combine non-personal information we collect with additional non-personal information from other sources.
We also may share aggregated, non-personal information, or personal information in hashed, non-human readable form with third parties, including advisors, advertisers, and investors, to conduct general business analysis, advertising, marketing, or other business purposes. For example, we may engage a data provider who may collect web log data from you (including IP address and information about your browser or operating system) or place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser to enable you to receive customized ads or content.
The cookies may reflect de-identified demographic or other data linked to data you voluntarily have submitted to us (such as your email address), that we may share with a data provider solely in hashed, non-human readable form. We may also share your geolocation information in de-identified form with Lesbian Adventures in Dating companies and third parties for the above purposes. To opt-out of the sharing of your geolocation information, please discontinue the use of the Lesbian Adventures in Dating application.
Do Not Track disclosure
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information we collect, which is why we provide the opt-out links above. However, we do not recognize or respond to any DNT signals, as the Internet industry works toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT and a common approach to responding to DNT.
Third-party websites
There are places on our Service where you may click on a link to access other websites that do not operate under this Privacy Policy. For example, if you click on an advertisement on our Service, you may be taken to a website that we do not control. These third- party websites may independently solicit and collect information, including personal information, from you and, in some instances, provide us with information about your activities on those websites. We recommend that you consult the privacy statements of all third-party websites you visit by clicking on the “privacy” link typically located at the bottom of the webpage you are visiting.
How you can access and correct your information
If you have a Lesbian Adventures in Dating account, you have the ability to review and update your personal information within the Service by opening your account and going to profile settings. And if you opt out of the application, you can opt to delete all of your personal information. Applicable privacy laws may allow you the right to access and/or request the correction of errors or omissions in your personal information in our custody or under our control. Our Privacy Officer will assist you with the access request.
We will respond to requests within the time allowed by all applicable privacy laws and make every effort to respond as accurately and completely as possible.
In certain exceptional circumstances, we may not be able to provide access to certain personal information we hold. For security purposes, not all personal information is accessible and amendable by the Privacy Officer. If access or corrections cannot be provided, we will notify the individual making the request within 30 days, in writing, of the reasons for the refusal.
Data retention
We keep your information only as needed for business purposes and as permitted by applicable legal requirements. If you close your account, we retain necessary data for analytical purposes and record keeping integrity, as well as to prevent fraud, enforce our Terms of Use, take actions we deem necessary to protect the integrity of our Service or our users or take other actions otherwise permitted by law. In addition, if certain information has already been provided to third parties as described in this Privacy Policy, retention of that information will be subject to those third parties’ policies.
Your choices about the collection and use of your information
You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but that may result in you being unable to use certain features of our Service because such information may be required for you to register as a user.
Our Service may also deliver notifications to your phone or mobile device. You can disable these notifications by going into “App Settings” on the app or by changing the settings on your mobile device.
How we protect your personal information
We take security measures to help safeguard your personal information from unauthorized access and disclosure. However, no system can guarantee complete security. Therefore, there is a known risk whenever your personal information, chats, or other communications are provided via the internet, and we are no exception to this reality. It is important that you take care of how you handle and disclose your personal information, and we ask that you avoid sending personal information through insecure email. Please refer to the Federal Trade Commission’s website at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/menus/consumer/data.shtmfor information about protecting yourself against identity theft.
You agree that we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues, such as security breaches. We may post a notice on our Service if a security breach occurs. We may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us. You may have a legal right to receive this notice in writing. To receive free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notice), please notify us at michele@lesbianloveadv.com
Information you provide about yourself while using our Service
We provide areas on our Service where you can post information about yourself and others and communicate with others. Our Terms of Use govern such postings. Also, whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on publicly-viewable pages, that information will be publicly available and can be collected and used by others. For example, if you post your email address, you may receive unsolicited messages.
We cannot control who reads your posting or what other users may do with the information you voluntarily post. Hence, we encourage you to exercise discretion and caution concerning your personal information. Except as required by a court order or other similar legal proceeding, we will only make messages you send to another user through our Service accessible on the Service unless you expressly request a copy of your messages per applicable law. Should you wish to receive a copy of any messages you received from other users through our Service, you must first obtain their prior written consent. Then they must contact our Privacy Officer to provide their prior written consent.
Children’s privacy
Although our Service is a general audience Service, we restrict the use of our service to individuals age 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal information from children under 18.
No Rights of Third Parties
This Privacy Policy does not include rights enforceable by third parties or require disclosure of any personal information relating to website users.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We will occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the law, our data collection, and use practices, the features of our Service, or advances in technology. When we post changes to this Privacy Policy, we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy, which will be posted on the Services under “Settings” and on lesbianloveadv.com, and you should regularly check for the most recent version, which is the version that applies.
If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, this will be reflected as an update in the app. Please review the changes carefully. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of changes to this policy will mean you consent to and accept those changes. If you do not consent to such changes, you can delete your account by following the instructions under Settings.
