At
PeachPatch, safeguarding your
online privacy is taken seriously.
PeachPatch has created this privacy
statement in order to demonstrate
the firm commitment to privacy.
The following discloses the information
gathering and dissemination practices
for the PeachPatch.
How
We Use Data:
The
registration form requests users
to give us contact and profile
information (such as your name,
email address, postal address,
zip code, and sex). Some of the
requested information is required
in order to receive certain services;
other information is optional.
Ways
we use data:
This
data is used to send personalized,
targeted information to the user
in their email messages or on
our website; to send targeted
advertising and promotions in
our opt-in newsletters that allows
us to provide service to the users;
to send opt-in email offers about
products and services of interest
or special deals from based on
the user's chosen interests; to
send confirmation of profile changes;
to contact users for feedback
and surveys; and to send users
news about PeachPatch, including
romance newsletters and updates
of new or enhanced services. We
never send unsolicited spam to
our users.
All
transactions are made thru SSL
secured pages for security. We
have security measures in place
to protect the loss, misuse and
alteration of the information
under our control. Your information
is protected by placing it on
a secure portion of the Site and
by regularly backing up data,
performing consistency checks
with independently recorded log
files to prevent tampering, and
restricting access to information
on our servers via several user
authentication technologies. While
it is the goal to safeguard personal
information, we cannot guarantee
the security of any information
you transmit to us, and you submit
such information at your own risk
and absolve us of any liability.
While we do take steps to limit
them, our systems, like all computers,
are susceptible to "hackers" and
others who illegally seek and
gain access to information stored
on the computers' hard drives
and other memory storage devices.

emails or newsletter, they may
include a special tracking code
unique to you which allows us
to determine which content and
advertisements are most popular.

at any time, a user provides other
information in connection with
their activities (such as name,
address, birth date, gender, etc.
in connection with, e.g., entering
a contest, completing a survey,
or signing up for a promotional
offer from or third-party advertisers),
PeachPatch.com may store that
information, along with the user's
email address, in its user database.
We
only use the information stored
in its database (i) for the purpose
for which the information was
originally provided by a user,
(ii) to pre-populate information
fields in the event a user wishes
to sign up for and/or subscribe
to services, promotions or offers
in the future, (iii) to ensure
that a user will not be repeatedly
exposed to the same ads, offers
and promotions while visiting
PeachPatch, and (iv) in connection
with delivering content, information
or newsletters which the user
regularly receives from us or
other chosen offers or our partner
