Collection and Use of Information
Through our services, our members may take advantage of many benefits and features available online.

Below is a detailed outline of the information collected from you to provide our services, and a description of what we do with this information.
Registering
Certain features of our website, including the matchmaker and personality profile module, require the client to register as a member before accessing those services. During the sign-up process, we collect the following information: name, address, birth date, email address, along with other information about you and the type of people and relationships you are seeking through our website. Material data such as hobbies, personal preferences, interests and other personality traits help to best represent who you are.
This information will be stored on our servers and used in the website programs to streamline the process of match making and the amount of information you will be required to enter when using the features available on the Site.
Email Communication
We use your email address to help us operate the website by sending appropriate communication to you such as updates, billing, and website changes. We also use your email address to forward communications from other registered members. All correspondence and first meetings go through us by design for anonymity purposes.
Email communication may contain commercial messaging, such as special offers from us. We are interested in your feedback in order to discover what services and partners are of interest to you.
We use a "blind"application technology to protect our members' privacy. Any time a member communicates with another member on our website, our process ensures that a member's email address is undetectable. Our process includes:
The member's personal user address is stripped and replaced with their DatesForSure.com email address. Also, the member receiving emails has their DatesForSure email address replaced with their personal email address. Finally, original email headers are stripped and re-defined to show that they originated from DatesForSure. Members should not be traced, and the message of origin is actually sent back to DatesForSure.com servers.
These features allow members on DatesForSure to communicate with email without concern of losing anonymity through our website. As stated, members may make changes to their email address at any time by updating their profile.

We do our best to protect the information you provide through our site, but online activity must understood as such and data transmission cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

We operate secure data networks that are password-protected and are not available to the public. When transmitting information between you and us, data security is handled through a security protocol standard using data encryption and Web server authentication.
Data encryption is the process of transforming legible information into a complex code arrangement information. The code of data is only made legible by a process called "decryption." A mathematical formula known as a "key" is used to encrypt data when it is sent over the Internet, and then to decrypt the data when it is received by us. This technical process ensures that only the intended recipient, DatesForSure, is able to decrypt the data that you transmit.
DatesForSure.com reviews its security policies on a regular basis, and changes are made as necessary.
