4. Our Disclosure of Your Information

Due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting and foregoing), we may be forced to disclose information to the government, law enforcement agencies or third parties. Under certain circumstances, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, or Non Residents and Residents may abuse or misuse your information that they collect from our Website. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications will always remain private.

As a matter of policy, we do not sell or rent any personally identifiable information about you to any third party. However, the following describes some of the ways that your personally identifiable information may be disclosed.

Financial Information. Under some circumstances we may require some additional information, such as, but not limited to credit card details. We use this financial information, including your name, address, and other information, as well as to bill you for use of our services. We use your financial information to check your qualifications, to bill you for services and/or products, to enable you to participate in discount, rebate and similar programs in which you may elect to participate. By making a purchase, or engaging in any other kind of activity or transaction that uses financial information on the Website, you consent to our providing of your financial information to our service providers and to such third parties as we determine are necessary to support and process your activities and transactions, as well as to your credit card issuer for their purposes. These third parties may include the credit card companies and banking institutions used to process and support the transaction or activity. By purchasing, or registering or making reservations for products or services of third parties offered on the Website, or by participating in programs offered on the Website that are administered by third parties and that require you to submit financial information in order to use them, you also consent to our providing your financial information to those third parties. Any of these various third parties may be authorized to use your financial information in accordance with our contractual arrangements with such third parties and in accordance with their own privacy policies, over which we have no control, and you agree that we are not responsible or liable for any of their actions or omissions. Additionally, you agree that we may use and disclose all such information so submitted to such third parties in the same manner in which we are entitled to use and disclose any other information that you submit to us.

Advertisers. We aggregate (gather up data across all our Non Residents and Residents accounts) personally identifiable information and disclose such information in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties for other marketing and promotional purposes. However, in these situations, we do not disclose to these entities any information that could be used to identify you personally. Certain information, such as your name, email address, password, credit card number and bank account number, are never disclosed to marketing advertisers. We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf. These companies may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single pixel gifs, jpgs or web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and action tags is completely anonymous.

External Service Providers. There may be a number of services offered by external service providers that help you use our Website. If you choose to use these optional services, and in the course of doing so, disclose information to the external service providers, and/or grant them permission to collect information about you, then their use of your information is governed by their private policy.

Legal Requests. Spark Networks cooperates with law enforcement inquiries, as well as other third parties to enforce laws, such as: intellectual property rights, fraud and other rights. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement and other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us or you to legal liability.

5. Your Use of other Non Residents or Residents Information

Our services also include access to chat rooms. As a Non Resident or Resident you have access to other Non Resident’s and Resident’s Ad ID No. and/or Username, and you might gain access to other contact information of the Non Resident(s) or Resident(s) through the regular use of the chat rooms. By accepting this Privacy Policy, you agree that, with respect to other Non Resident’s and Resident’s personally identifiable information that you obtain through the chat rooms and email, Swishcom hereby grants to you a license to use such information only for: (a) Swishcom related communications that are not unsolicited commercial messages, and (b) any other purpose that such Non Resident or Resident expressly agrees to after adequate disclosure of the purpose(s). In all cases, you must give Non Residents and Residents an opportunity to remove themselves from your database and a chance to review what information you have collected about them. In addition, under no circumstances, except as defined in this Section, can you disclose personally identifiable information about another member to any third party without our consent and the consent of such other Non Resident or Resident after adequate disclosure. Swishcom and our Non Residents and Residents do not tolerate spam. Therefore, without limiting the foregoing, you are not licensed to add a Swishcom SinglePeopleCity.com Non Resident or Resident to your mail list (email or postal mail) without their express written consent after adequate disclosure.

6. Accessing, Reviewing and Changing Your Account Profile

Following registration, you can review and change the information you submitted during registration through the Non Resident and Resident Account Control Panel including: Your password and email address. If you change your password and email we DO NOT keep track of your old password and email. You can also change your registration information such as: name, address, city, state, zip code, country and phone number.

Upon your written request, we will suspend your membership, contact information, and financial information from our active databases. Such information will be suspended as soon as reasonably possible in accordance with our suspension policy and applicable law. To remove your profile so that others cannot view it, go to the Non Resident and Resident Account Control Panel, click on "Set My Preferences" under "My Account".

We will retain in our files information you have requested to remove for certain circumstances, such as to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our Terms and Conditions. Further, such prior information is never completely removed from our databases due to technical and legal constraints, including stored 'back up' systems. Therefore, you should not expect that all of your personally identifiable information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your requests.

7. Control of Your Password

You are responsible for all actions taken with your Username and Password login information. Therefore we do not recommend that you disclose your SinglePeopleCity.com Username and Password login information to any third parties. If you choose to share this information with third parties to provide you additional services, you are responsible for all actions taken with your Username and Password login information and therefore should review each third party's privacy policy. If you lose control of your Password, you may lose substantial control over your personally identifiable information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your Password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately change your Password.

8. Other Information Collectors

Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your information to other parties, whether they are on our Website or on other sites throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the information you disclose to them. To the extent that we use third party advertisers, they adhere to their own privacy policies. Since Swishcom does not control the privacy policies of the third parties, you are subject to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.

9. Security

Swishcom utilizes industry standard practices to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable information, including "firewalls" and SSL (Secure Socket Layers). Swishcom treats data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access. We employ many different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorized access by Non Residents and Residents inside and outside of Swishcom. However, "unbreachable security" does not exist over the entire Internet.

10. Notice

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time based on your comments and our need to accurately reflect our data collection and disclosure practices. All changes to this policy are effective after we provide you with at least (30) days notice of changes by sending email to Non Residents and Residents. We provide you with (30) days notice to allow you the opportunity to notify Swishcom if you do not agree to such changes.
