Information We Collect
We
use data collection devices such as "cookies" on certain pages of the
Service. "Cookies" are small files placed on Your hard drive that
assist Us in providing customized services. Certain features of the Service are
only available with the use of a "cookie." We use this information to
determine Our members' demographics, interests, and behavior to better
understand and serve You and other members. This information may include the
URL of the website that You visited prior to the Service (whether this URL is
on the Service or not), the URL of the website You next go to (whether this URL
is on the Service or not), what browser You are using and Your Internet
Protocol address. Most cookies are "session cookies" meaning that
they are automatically deleted from Your hard drive at the end of a session.
You are always free not to accept cookies if Your browser permits.
We may use a
third party advertising company to serve ads on Our behalf across the Internet.
That advertising company may also collect anonymous information about Your
visits to the Service. This is primarily accomplished through the use of a
technology device, commonly referred to as a Web beacon, cookie or an action
tag, which is placed on various Web pages within the Service or in an HTML
e-mail that allows the third party advertising company to collect anonymous
information. There may also be a number of services offered by external service
providers that help You use the Service. If You choose to use these optional
services and in doing so disclose information to the external service providers
or grant them permission to collect information about You, then their use of
Your information will be governed by their private policies, if any.

retrieve your contacts. We never send invitations to contacts you do not
explicitly select and your invitations are the only email we will ever send to
your friends unless they register to join the site.
If you have
accidentally sent invitations you did not intend - please contact us and we can cancel the reminder
message.
