Information We Collect:

The only personal information that we collect is information you provide when completing your membership profile and updates. We use that information to build your online profile and personalize your experience at our website. In the course of establishing membership, our third party agents automatically track certain information such as your IP addresses. If you choose to include a profile on our site, we will only display such information about you as you choose to reveal. If you send us correspondence, such as emails or letters, we may collect such information into a file, which is only accessed by us or authorized law enforcement officials on demand. We also monitor traffic patterns and related site usage inside our website to help us shape plans for improvements to our web pages and site design.

How we use and protect your Email Address:

We obtain your email address to confirm your identify during the sign-up process and to protect our site from spammers and abuse. We make every effort to safeguard you from receiving unsolicited email or spam by safeguarding your email address from non-members; your email address is known only to us, and is never revealed by us to other members.

To protect your privacy and security, our site employs "private messaging" and notifications so that only other registered members may contact you. When another member sends you a private message, or posts a comment within your profile, MeetGayCouples.com will send you an email notification, allowing you to login to the site to review the communication initiated by another member. Your email address is never revealed in any relays or communications between members.

In creating your membership profile on this site, you have established a business relationship with R&D Sites, and acknowledge that you may, on occasion, receive email communication promoting the features and content of this, or other properties, operated by R&D Sites. However, R&D Sites will not sell or rent your email addresses to any 3rd party without your permission.

You should understand that posting your email address in any visible area of our site, or in any messaging communication to other members, you are making it publicly available to others to send you unsolicited email. We strongly recommend you protect your PC with a reputable and self-updating anti-virus software program which will safeguard you from harmful worms and viruses passed thru the internet and in unsolicited email.
