using "cookies." A cookie is a piece of data stored on

4. Links
a. This site may contain links to other websites. Liebe Romance

personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies

5. Third Party
Advertising
a. Advertisements that appear on the Web Site are delivered to
users by our advertising partners. Our advertising partners may
download cookies to your computer. Doing this allows the advertising
network to recognize your computer each time they send you an advertisement.
In this way, they may compile information about where you, or others
who are using your computer, saw their advertisements and determine
which advertisements are clicked. This information allows an advertising
network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will
be of most interest to you. Liebe Romance does not have access to
or control of the cookies that may be placed by the third party
advertisers. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by
Liebe Romance and does not cover the use of cookies by any of its
advertisers.
6. Changing

information at any time by logging into their account. For technical
reasons, any modifications or deletions, which you request, may
take a short period of time to take effect.

Romance will remove the old or deleted information from public view;
however, as noted in Section 3 above, we may keep such information
archived indefinitely.
7. Security
a. Liebe Romance takes appropriate precautions to protect our users'
information. Your account information is located on a secured server
behind a firewall. Because email is not recognized as a secure medium
of communication, we request that you do not send private information
to us by email. In addition, as all security measures are subject
to possible circumvention, we cannot and do not provide any guarantees
regarding the effectiveness of the security we employ or our ability
to prevent third parties, acting unlawfully, from obtaining information
that you provide to us. If you have any questions about the security
of the Liebe Romance Web Site, please contact us.
b. Liebe Romance encourages all users to maintain a pseudonymous
identity when using the services provided by Liebe Romance or any
other public aspects of the Web Site. Liebe Romance cannot ensure
that your identity, telephone number, work or home address and other
personal identifying or contact information will not be discovered
by other users of the Web Site. This is particularly true because
your location (within a radius of approximately five miles) will
be revealed. It is, of course, more likely that your true identity
will be discovered if you post photographs or share other unique
identifying information about yourself on public areas of the Web
Site.
