Cookies
A cookie is a data file that certain Web sites write to your computer's
hard drive when you visit such sites. A cookie file can contain information,
such as a user identification code, that the site uses to track the
pages you have visited. Matchfinder.com.au uses cookies solely
to track user traffic patterns throughout the Web site. We use this
data on an anonymous basis and we do not correlate this information
with personal data of any user.
Most Web site browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually
change your browser settings to display a warning before accepting a
cookie, or to refuse all cookies. However, if you choose to disable
the receipt of cookies from our Web site, you may not be able to use
certain features of the site.
Browser Level Information
Matchfinder.com.au Web servers automatically collect information
about a site user's IP address, browser type and referrer by reading
this information from the user's browser (information provided by every
user's browser). This information is collected in a database and used--in
an aggregated, anonymous manner--in our internal analysis of traffic
patterns within our Web site. This information is automatically logged
by most Web sites.
Use of Information
Our primary goal in collecting user information is to enhance your
experience on our Web site. We achieve this goal by, among other things,
providing interactive communications such as our electronic newsletters
to the e-mail address that you provide to us, and developing future
editorial content based on your interests. To develop content targeted
to your interests, we use aggregated user information to determine which
areas of our Web site users prefer based upon traffic to those areas.
We do not track what individual users read, but instead how well each
page or content area performs overall.
Matchfinder.com.au derives the majority of its revenue from
subscriptions. In order to attract and retain members we use the aggregated,
anonymous information that we gather (as well as information from third-party
market researchers) to describe our services to partners and to assist
our advertisers and sponsors to better understand our audience. We do
not disclose personally identifying information about our users to these
parties.
Matchfinder.com.au may also disclose information about our users
when we believe, in good faith, that the disclosure is required by law.
In addition, any personally identifiable information provided by our
users as part of an advertiser promotion online may be provided directly
to advertisers.
Please be aware that Matchfinder.com.au sponsors, advertisers
or Web sites that have links on our site may collect personally identifiable
information about you. The information practices of those parties and
Web sites linked to Matchfinder.com.au are not covered by this
privacy statement. Matchfinder.com.au users should also be aware
that, when you voluntarily disclose personal information in chat areas
or bulletin boards, that information may be collected by others and
may result in unsolicited messages from others.
Kids under 18: Do not send any information about yourself to us--including
information such as your name, address, or e-mail address. We do not
knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children
under 18. In the event that we learn we have collected any personal
information from a child under the age of 18 without verification of
parental consent, we will delete that information from our database
as quickly as possible.
