DateNight ‘cookie’ policy
As a default, we use a feature of your browser called a ‘cookie’ to assign a user ID. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from the site you are visiting and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies are very common and completely normal throughout the Internet. Cookies do not harm your computer nor can they access information stored on your computer. The primary purpose of cookies is to maintain your customized settings on a site. Members that do not accept cookies will be able to log on to the site, but profile identifying information will appear in browser URLs and may compromise account security.
Sharing of personal information
DateNight does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with any third party without your explicit consent, except to business partners as required to deliver DateNight services or where required by law.
Balancing the Privacy Needs and Rights of Two or More Members
Please note that as a general policy, DateNight does not review the content of private e-mail messages or screen the Profiles posted by DateNight members (although it may periodically review the information posted in the public areas of the service) and accepts no responsibility for resolving disputes between members.
DateNight receives communications from members concerning other members. These may be testimonials, complaints or general information. DateNight aims to be as open as possible with all its members, without compromising the privacy of any individuals.
If you complain about another member, we may advise that member that a complaint about him / her has been received. However, we will not tell the member who made the complaint without your express permission. Further, if we suspect that the member would be able to identify who made the complaint, we will not advise that a complaint has been made unless we have your express permission.
When a complaint about a member is received, no action will be taken unless the complaint is substantiated by evidence. However, a record of the complaint may be made and included in the data held about that member.
Communications between two members will be released to either member on request. They will not be released to third parties.
If another member has written ‘private notes’ about you, DateNight considers that those notes were written for that member’s use only, and to display them to others would be a violation of that member’s privacy. Those notes will not as a rule be released to you, even if you request all information held by DateNight about you.
DateNight staff use of and access to information held by DateNight
DateNight employees and contractors may also be members of the site, and their employment may give them access to information not generally available to other members of DateNight or the general public.
The following code governs the behaviour of DateNight employees and contractors:
They will not use personal contact information or other personal information held by DateNight for any purpose other than the performance of their jobs.
They may post profiles, but will not send kisses or take other proactive steps which may be construed as encouraging members to spend money contacting them.
If they wish to contact another DateNight member, they will do so by email through the DateNight system, at no cost to the DateNight member.
On first contact with another member, whether initiated by the employee / contractor or by the other member, they will make it known that they are employees of DateNight.
Where another member has unknowingly paid to initiate contact with an DateNight employee or contractor, the employee or contractor will also offer a refund should the member desire.
