World Singles, LLC ("World Singles") created this privacy policy to demonstrate its commitment to protecting your personal information and inform you on how it is handled. This privacy policy only applies to transactions and activities in which you engage and data gathered on the World Singles Websites (the “Site”). It does not apply to any other Website or offline point of contact between World Singles, or any other company and consumers. Please review this privacy policy periodically as World Singles may modify it from time to time. Each time you visit the Site or provide World Singles with information, by doing so you are accepting the practices described in this privacy policy at that time.


Your IP Address

Like most e-commerce Websites, each time you visit the Site, World Singles automatically collects your IP address and the web page from which you came. In order to administer and optimize the Site for you and to diagnose problems and issues with World Singles’ Sites, World Singles may also use your IP address to help identify you and to gather broad demographic information about you.


Cookies

World Singles uses session cookies, which are required to identify users as they move from one page to another. The Site cannot work without session cookies. We also use persistent cookies to remember user preferences across sessions, such as preferred language, and to remember how a user found our Site (to aid in our marketing efforts).

Demographic information is divided into two categories: 1) "non-public information", which may include, but is not limited to, purchase history information, browsing history information, searching history information and one-on-one communications between you and other users of the Site; and 2) "public information", which consists of all other demographic information. World Singles asks that you not enter personal information or financial information into your “Profile”. For instance, do not use your address or password as your username, or include your name or address in your written profile because it may be posted publicly on the Site and the information will then be treated as "demographic information" that is "public information." Please note that nowhere on the Site does World Singles knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18, as World Singles requires all users represent to it they are at least 18 years old.

World Singles may use demographic information to tailor the Site and communications to your interests. World Singles may also share demographic information with advertisers.

Said information is stored with Verisign on their servers thus adding an additional layer of security.
