Cookies

"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. PickDate uses cookies in several ways. We use cookies to allow you to login without having to type your login name each time. Instead, only your password is needed to access the system. We also use cookies to track usage of the "Guest" path and to serve advertisements through our advertising networks. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future.

IP Addresses

PickDate collects IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our servers and for system administration.

Links

Please be aware that we may have links on our site which may collect personally identifiable information about you. This Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices or policies of such Web sites.

Who will the information be shared with, if anyone?

We do not disclose your email address nor do we sell it or make it available to any third party.  Notwithstanding, when you send an introductory note through our system to another member, your email address is included in that note so that the recipient can respond to you.  Further, PickDate.com may contact you via email from time to time, to inform you about upgrades and improvements to the system and of special promotions or events.  The only way to remove yourself from such mailing is to suspend your membership. Please send us email to admin@PickDate.com.

Security

The PickDate database resides behind firewalls in order to protect you against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.  We have taken preventive measures to restrict access to sensitive data, as well as to detect and prohibit certain connections and operations by unauthorized users.  While our measures exceed industry standards, no claim is made as to the impenetrability of the system under unusual circumstance or its resilience to future attacks.

What other information should I know about my privacy?
PickDate may contain links to other Web sites. Please note that when you click on one of these links, you are entering another Web site for which PickDate has no responsibility. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of all such sites as their policies may be materially different from PickDate's Privacy Policy. Of course, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and any account information. Please be very careful, responsible, and alert with this information, especially whenever you're online.

In addition to the circumstances described above, PickDate may disclose user information if required to do so by law, court order, as requested by other government or law enforcement authority, or in the good faith belief that disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable including, without limitation, to protect the rights or properties of PickDate or when we have reason to believe that disclosing the information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing interference with our rights or properties, whether intentionally or otherwise, or when anyone else could be harmed by such activities.

Any material changes in the way PickDate uses personal information will be described in future versions of this Privacy Policy.
