About CyberMatch.tv and the Information We Collect
CyberMatch.tv is an online matchmaking service
designed to provide an easy way for our members to
meet each other on the Web. To accomplish this, our
members create their own unique profiles and our
matching technology provides them matches based on
their pre-selected criteria. In order to do this, we
must ask for certain personal information. None of
the information we gather can be used by the public
(visitors, other members, or anyone not employed by
CyberMatch.tv or the financial institutions used to
process membership charges) to identify specific
individuals.
We are a membership-based service. We collect credit
card, address, or bank information only from those
who choose to join. All visitors to our site may
browse the site, search the ads and view any
articles or features our site has to offer without
entering any personal information.
Information Collected/Tracked by CyberMatch.tv
CyberMatch.tv gathers two types of information:
information users submit to us and information not
directly submitted by users.
Information submitted to CyberMatch.tv
There are two types of user-submitted information we
collect: Public and Private. We define Public
information as personal information that may be
displayed on the site, such as gender, age and
height, but cannot be linked to a particular user.
Private information is defined as any information
that allows others to contact a user other than
through CyberMatch.tv or allows the collection of
information about the user other than what is
displayed on the site.
Public:
To accomplish our goal of bringing compatible
people together, we must gather personal
information, which may or may not include:
customer-specified CyberMatch.tv username, gender,
age, ethnic background, appearance, religion, income
range, occupation, preference/lifestyle information
and general geographic location. Much of this
information is optional, and meant to be seen by
members and visitors to the site but cannot be used
to identify a specific member by name, address, etc.
Private:
This information is gathered from members and guests
who apply for the various services our site offers.
This information includes, but is not limited to:
email address, first name, last name, birthdate,
credit card number or checking account information
for payment, a user-specified password, mailing
address, zip code and telephone number.
Surveys & Contests:
From time-to-time our site requests information from
users via surveys or contests. Participation in
these surveys or contests is completely voluntary
and the user therefore has a choice whether or not
to disclose this information. Information requested
may include contact information (such as name and
shipping address), and demographic information (such
as zip code, and age).
CyberMatch.tv Affiliate Partners:
The Affiliate Partner program is a vehicle for other
relationship-based sites to link to the
CyberMatch.tv site. No personal member information
is exchanged with the Affiliate Partner.

personally identifiable, such as browser type and IP
address. This information is gathered for all users
to the site.
Use of Information Obtained by CyberMatch.tv

Public:
Public information supplied by the user is intended
to be viewed by visitors to the site. This
information is used by visitors for searching and
matching purposes. Public information cannot be used
to identify a specific member by name, address, etc.
Private:
We primarily use Email addresses submitted by
members to verify enrollment and when forwarding
anonymous e-mails from ad responders. Respondees'
email addresses are not disclosed to the responder.
We may also use a user's email address to send news
regarding our site, but the user may choose not to
receive email of this type by
contacting us. Email 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 products and
services. 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
CyberMatch.tv. All private information can be
updated or deleted by the user at any time.
Surveys & Contests:
Contact and other information collected for contests
will be used to notify the winners and award prizes.
Survey information collected will be used for
purposes of monitoring or improving the use and
satisfaction of this site.
CyberMatch.tv's Affiliate Partners:
Information submitted by the Affiliate Partner is
used for establishing and maintaining a business
relationship. No personal or business information is
shared outside the relationship between
CyberMatch.tv and the Affiliate Partner. Affiliate
Partners may not view or access private information
on CyberMatch.tv subscribers.

card or check transaction unless required by law
or for the protection of your membership.

Links
This site contains links to other websites. Please
be aware that CyberMatch.tv is not responsible for
the privacy practices of other Web sites. We
encourage our users to be aware when they leave our
site and to read the privacy statements of each and
every web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies solely
to information collected by this Web site.
Use of Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's
hard drive containing information about the user.
Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any
personally identifiable information while on our
site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie
simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie
on our site, the user would not have to log in a
password more than once, thereby saving time while
on our site. If a user rejects a cookie, they may
still use our site. The only drawback to this is
that the user will be limited in some areas on our
site. We occasionally use cookies to anonymously
track and target the interests of our users to
enhance the experience on our site or for
advertising tracking purposes. In addition, cookies
may be used on our site to allow enhanced
capabilities such as chat. We do not and will not
use cookies to collect private information from any
user!
Some of our business partners may use cookies on our
site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no
access to or control over these cookies. To find out
more about how Citysearch manages the privacy of
information in conjunction with serving ads on this
site, go to www.citysearch.com .
We also use a third-party advertising company,
Avenue A, to serve ads externally to the site on the
behalf of CyberMatch.tv and our partners. Avenue A
employs technology that is used to measure the
effectiveness of these ads. This is primarily
accomplished through the use of technology devices,
commonly referred to as a cookie and an action tag.
Avenue A uses their own cookie, similar to our
cookie, to measure advertising effectiveness but we
do not have access to it. An action tag, also known
as a Web Beacon or a 1 pixel .gif file, is used by
Avenue A to set or read their own cookie. Any
information that Avenue A collects via cookies and
action tags is completely anonymous. Avenue A may
use information about your visits to this and other
Web sites in order to provide advertisements about
goods and services of interest to you. Unless
otherwise notified, they do not use names,
addresses, e-mail addresses or telephone numbers,
and do not link online actions to an identifiable
person. If you would like more information about
this practice and to know your choices about not
having this information used by these companies,

Correcting/Updating or Removing Information
CyberMatch.tv gives users several options for
modifying or removing their information from our
database please view your
preferences page or
contact us.
Changes in Our Privacy Policy
If we change our privacy policy, we will prominently
post a link to those changes on our Homepage so our
users are always aware of what information we
collect, how we use it, and under what
circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any
point we decide to use personally identifiable
information in a manner different from that stated
at the time it was collected, we will notify users
by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to
whether or not we use their information in this
different manner, and we will then use information
in accordance with the privacy policy under which
the information was collected.
Security
CyberMatch.tv takes every precaution to protect our
users' information. When users submit sensitive
information via the website, your information is
protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order process asks users to
enter sensitive information (such as a credit card
number), that information is encrypted and is
protected with the best encryption software in the
industry - SSL.]
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive
information online, we also do everything in our
power to protect user information off-line. All of
our users' information, not just the sensitive
information mentioned above, is restricted in our
offices. Only employees who need the information to
perform a specific job (for example a billing clerk
or a customer service representative) are granted
access to personally identifiable information.
If you have any questions about the security at our
website, please
contact us.
Email Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of
having information used for purposes not directly
related to our site at the point where we ask for
the information.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter
or promotional materials from our partners may
opt-out of receiving these communications by
following the instructions contained in the email or
by logging-in and changing their email options in
the My Account section of the site.
