This statement discloses the information gathering process, the privacy and dissemination practices for the www.hightimedating.com Web site. www.hightimedating.com is an internet singles portal designed to provide an easy way to meet other singles on internet. Members are allowed to create their profiles and are then paired with other members based on their selected dating criteria.
High Time Dating is a membership-based service that collects credit card numbers, addresses and bank information only from those who choose to sign up as paid members. All visitors to www.hightimedating.com may choose to browse the site, search the profiles and/or view articles by signing up for a free trial membership. www.hightimedating.com's registration form requires users to provide contact information such as an email address and demographic information (zip code, age, or income level). www.hightimedating.com also occasionally runs contests and conducts online surveys that ask visitors for contact information such as name and email address and demographic information such as zip code, age or income level.

www.hightimedating.com may analyze your Private Information and Public Information to determine if one or more users of our site have, what we have determined in our sole discretion, compatible profiles to yours in one or more respects. If we identify such compatible profiles, you authorize us to contact such user(s) to advise them of your profile, identify you as being a potential match for them (or using words which convey the same message), and facilitate their ability to contact you in order to initiate a relationship. In other word, we may facilitate your ability to contact other users in the event we identify another user's profile as being compatible to yours. You agree that we are not liable if you do not believe that such other user(s) have compatible profiles to yours or are otherwise not compatible with you. www.hightimedating.com make no representation or warranty that our determination of potential compatibility between you and any other user is correct. Further, we do not represent or warrant that any person identified to have a potentially compatible profile to yours will respond to any contact you may initiate.
Email and street addresses may also be used in private correspondence with the user for customer service issues. Financial information that is collected is used to bill the user for services. . www.hightimedating.com Inc utilizes a third party service provider for credit card processing to facilitate the user's transaction and the service provider does not use personal information provided by the site for its own promotional purposes. All other private information submitted by the user is confidential and will not be disclosed except as required by law or to protect members of www.hightimedating.com . All private information can be updated or deleted by the user at any time.
