About
and the Information We Collect
is
an online matchmaking service designed to
provide an easy way for our members to meet each
other on the Wireless Web. To accomplish this,
our members create their own unique profiles and
our matching technology provides them matches
based on their pre-selected criteria. In order
to do this, we must ask for certain personal
information. None of the information we gather
can be used by the public (visitors, other
members, or anyone not employed by
or the financial institutions used to process
membership charges) to identify specific
individuals.
We
are a membership-based service. We collect
credit card, address, or bank information only
from those who choose to join. All visitors to
our site may browse the site, search the ads and
view any articles or features our site has to
