The following explains how Frugal Dates (hereinafter referred to as “we”, “our”, “us”) collects, stores, protects, and shares your information, and with whom we share it with. Please read this in conjunction with our Terms of Service.  

We collect some information about you, and you may use our website to share information with other users. We may also need and want to share your information and you grant us permission to use your personal information in any way we deem appropriate in the course of conducting our internet dating business.

We are based in the United States and only transact business with subscribers who live in the United States.

We reserve the right to update our privacy policy without any notice to you. You should review this privacy policy periodically, and before you provide any information. Your continued use of Frugaldates.com, after any changes or revisions to this privacy policy shall indicate your agreement with the terms of such revised privacy policy.

We will review the content of messages sent on our website if we elect to.

We will collect and store any personal information you enter on our website or provide to us in some other manner.

Sensitive payment data is not stored by us indefinitely, but rather kept with our payment partners, who are fully certified to securely store this information for possible future purchases and rebills. Payment processing for subscription is performed by our third parties. Each such third party payment processor has its own privacy policy and terms of use and is not governed by this policy or our Terms of Use. When you make a purchase, you are submitting your data directly to one of such third party payment processors. As such, prior to submitting your data, you will need to review the privacy policy and terms of use for the relevant third party payment processor to learn about their data collection and retention policies.

We may receive information about you from other users, such as complaints about account abuse or spam. We reserve the right to store this data for further use, or to delete it if we find that the claims are baseless. We reserve the right to delete your account for any reason and to refund your money from the last thirty (30) days. You agree that you have no legal recourse against us.

Frugaldates.com may use standard Internet technology, such as web beacons and other similar technologies, to track your use of our site.

Frugaldates.com employs the use of a data analytics service, specifically Google Analytics, to track certain non-personally identifiable pieces of data about your visits, such as your device type, how you reached the site, your location and browser language. This data is not stored by Frugaldates.com, but rather collected using software we have installed on our pages and apps and then stored by this analytics service and used by Frugal Dates to help us improve your experience on our website.

If Frugaldates.com is ever involved in a merger or sale, control of your data may transfer to a new company or new website. This will be fully disclosed to you in advance if this situation occurs.  

We reserve the right to share any and all account information with law enforcement or agencies authorized by applicable governmental authorities either in response to their written request or at our own election should we believe, in our sole discretion, that you or your account may be involved with illegal activity, or if we believe, in our sole discretion, that such disclosure is necessary to protect the rights or property of Frugaldates.com, our users, and/or one or more third parties. Sometimes, it may become necessary to share data if that disclosure could mitigate our liability in a lawsuit, either filed or threatened. This could also happen if we need to protect the legal rights of either ourselves or of our users, or to investigate or take action regarding perceived illegal activity or fraud.

Your data may be shared with other companies, for example, to block accounts and suspected fraudulent payment transactions as part of our anti-spam and anti-fraud procedures.

When you upload and choose to tell Frugaldates.com sensitive information about yourself, you are explicitly consenting to our processing of this information and making it public to other users. We cannot guarantee the security of your personal data while it is being transmitted to our website and any transmission is at your own risk.

ATTENTION – VIRGINIA CITIZENS!

The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (“VCDPA”) went into effect on January 1, 2023. This new law provides Virginia residents certain rights for personal data collected by businesses under conditions outlined in the law.
