FOR ADULTS
ONLY. DatingBits.Com (hereinafter referred to as DatingBits.Com) have created this
Privacy Policy ("Policy") in order to demonstrate our company's commitment to
privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and disseminating
practices for the Web site: DatingBits.Com. This Policy also instructs you on what
procedures to take if you do not want to receive communications from us other
than those required for account maintenance.
MINORS. Because DatingBits.Com
is an e-commerce-driven Web-conferencing platform, the company's services are
directed to adults who possess validated credit card information, and are not
marketed to individuals under the age of 18. Certain portions of DatingBits.Com,
which may contain content considered offensive to some, are inaccessible to
individuals under the age of 18 via a standard "credit card" wall, as advocated
by the Communications Decency Act. For those portions, that may be accessible to
individuals under the age of 18, such as the DatingBits.Com home page and other
areas presenting non-offensive content, DatingBits.Com has no intention of
collecting any personally identifiable information (that is, name, address,
telephone number, or email address) from individuals under eighteen years of
age. Where appropriate, DatingBits.Com will specifically instruct minors not to
submit such information on our Web sites or advertisements. If a minor has
provided us with personally-identifiable information, a parent or guardian of
that minor should contact us at the email address listed at the bottom of this
Policy if they would like this information deleted from our records. We will use
reasonable efforts to delete the minor's information from our existing
files.
