By using the SHEDATE website you hereby agree to be bound by our Terms of Use.  This agreement will apply whether or not you register as a member of SHEDATE.com. If you desire to become a Member and make use of our service, please read these Terms of Use.  These Terms of Use are subject to change by SHEDATE.com at any time, effective upon posting on the SHEDATE.com website, and your use of the Service after such posting will constitute acceptance by you of such changes. As you navigate within Shedate.com, an interactive social networking and dating web site, we will be collecting and tracking personal information, either by asking you to tell us something about yourself (such as your name, address, e-mail address and other correspondence information, or your interests, beliefs, attitudes, attributes, activities and other personal information relevant to socializing with other members of the web site) or by using data-tracking software which tells us what parts of the Shedate.com web site you have browsed.

We may use this information to tell you about products or services which we feel may be of interest to you, and we may also share this information with other parties and members whom we believe you may want to receive or send information. Personal information about you, whether obtained through collection or tracking, may be used to contact you again either by online electronic communication (such as e-mail), or by regular mail or telephone.

We will also be collecting and tracking information about activities in our web site on an aggregate (i.e., group basis), where we will not know or keep track of precisely who you are, so that we may keep track of what users may be interested in, to help us in our marketing efforts. When we share such information with other companies, it is not traceable to any particular user and will not be used to contact you again.

 

 II. USE OF INFORMATION

In general, we will only use the information you provide to us for the purpose for which such information was provided. We may also use this information to deliver to you information about our company and promotional material from some of our partners, trend analysis, pattern detection, and site administration. Your information may also be used to contact you when necessary and may be shared with other companies that may want to contact you with offers consistent with your stated preferences. Users may unsubscribe receiving future mailings from Shedate and other entities by following the instructions set forth in the unsubscribe section of the e-mail received.
