Because this Web site wants to demonstrate its commitment to your privacy, it
has agreed to disclose its information practices. If you have questions or concerns
regarding this statement, you should contact our Privacy

What This Privacy Policy Covers
This policy covers how GayPassion.com treats personal information and e-mail addresses
that GayPassion.com collects and receives. The only personal information we collect
is your e-mail address. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies
that GayPassion.com does not own or control or to people that GayPassion.com does not

General
GayPassion.com only collects and stores your e-mail address when you register
for GayPassion.com membership access. We do not collect your e-mail address
under any other circumstances. GayPassion.com automatically receives and records
information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address,
GayPassion.com cookie information, and the page you request.
• Except in emergencies dealing with fraud, we do not connect this general internet
traffic data with your specific e-mail address. GayPassion.com uses information
for the following general purposes:
• Your e-mail address is used to contact
you on a transactional basis. More specifically, we will send you an e-mail
when you sign up for your membership, choose to cancel it, or request that your
password be sent to you in case you have forgotten it.
• Your e-mail address is used to send you our newsletter featuring website
updates. GayPassion.com does not rent, sell, or share your personal information
or e-mail address with any third-parties. The only persons with access to your
e-mail address are trusted high-level GayPassion.com employees.
•We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information
or email address as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary
to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order,
or legal process served on our Web site.
•We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate,
prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations
involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations
of GayPassion.com's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
•We transfer information about you if GayPassion.com is acquired by or merged
with another company. In this event, GayPassion.com will notify you before information
about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
This privacy statement covers the website GayPassion.com and all pages on its domain
name. When you click a link or otherwise leave this domain, our privacy policy
will no longer apply. Our website may participate in co-branding agreements
which use the GayPassion.com brand name, domain name, or the general "look
and feel" of our site to work with another company. In these cases, your
personally identifiable information will NOT be shared with our co-branding
partners. Our privacy policy will not be applicable in such cases; however,
we will require that our partners post their own company name and privacy policy
on any co-branded site.

Your Ability to Access, Edit and Delete Your Personal

As part of your membership, you are required to keep a current e-mail address
on file with GayPassion.com where we may send you transaction-based e-mails as well
as our newsletter. If at any time you wish to unsubscribe from receiving our e-mails,
you must delete your account with GayPassion.com by emailing support@GayPassion.com, you
will receive one final e-mail confirmation that your account has been deleted
and you will never be contacted again for any reason. If you have any further questions about your personally identifiable information

Confidentiality and Security
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information
and e-mail addresses submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive
it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage,
is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable
means to protect your personal information and e-mail address, we cannot guarantee
its absolute security. We limit access to your personal information and e-mail
address to employees whom we believe reasonably need to come into contact with
that information.

prohibited. GayPassion.com has no intention of collecting any personally-identifiable

instructs minors not to submit such information on our website. If a minor has
provided us with personally-identifiable information, a parent or guardian of
that minor should contact us using the contact form listed on these pages and
we will remove this information from our existing files.
