Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes the information collected by Match and Talk and its associated applications and websites (we, us, or Match and Talk), operated by Invitelecom, how that information may be used, with whom it may be shared, and your choices about such uses and disclosures. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully when using our mobile applications and websites, (the “Services”) or transacting business with us. By using our Services, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
If you have any questions about our privacy practices, please refer to the end of this Privacy Policy for information on how to contact us.
What Information We Collect
The types of information that we collect fall under two general categories: personally identifiable information (PII) and non-personally identifiable information (non-PII). PII consists of any information that can be used to specifically identify you as an individual, whereas non-PII consists of aggregate information or any information that does not reveal your identity. The following sections describe how your PII and non-PII are collected by us, and how we use such information.
How We Collect and Use Information
- Log Files. Any time you visit any of our websites, our servers automatically gather information from your browser (such as your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks) to analyze trends, administer the site, prevent fraud, track visitor movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information. For example, we may log your IP address for system administration purposes. IP addresses are logged to track a user’s session. This gives us an idea of which parts of our site users are visiting. We do not share the log files externally.
- Cookies. We use “cookies” to keep track of some types of information while you are visiting our website or using our services. Cookies are very small files placed on your computer, and they allow us to count the number of visitors to our website and distinguish repeat visitors from new visitors. They also allow us to save user preferences and track user trends. We rely on cookies for the proper operation of our website; therefore, if your browser is set to reject all cookies, the website will not function properly. Users who refuse cookies assume all responsibility for any resulting loss of functionality. We do not link the cookies to any PII.
- Web Beacons. “Web beacons” (also known as “clear gifs” and “pixel tags”) are small transparent graphic images that are often used in conjunction with cookies in order to further personalize our website for our users and to collect a limited set of information about our visitors. We may also use web beacons in e-mail communications in order to understand the behavior of our customers. We do not link the web beacons to any PII.
- Information About You. When you register or subscribe to any of our services, we collect information about you. Your individual responses to the questions about your personality in our questionnaire will be held strictly confidential, while other non-PII about yourself (such as first name, occupation, height, etc.) will be used to build your "My Profile." We may also display your marital status, most recent log-in date, and other profile/account information to your matches. Finally, for interactive content and community services such as advice where you may choose to have a public profile, we may display your information to other community members and visitors. You may choose to provide us with your photo(s) and by providing us such content, you agree that we may make them available to your matches and users of Match and Talk’s services. Unless otherwise stated in this privacy statement, we do not disclose your PII to your matches or other users of our services.
- Payment Information. To make payments, we may require your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, bank account number, and credit card information. Such information is used primarily to process your order or as otherwise described herein. Credit card transactions are processed through industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and/or strong encryption (3DES) by a third party, which only uses your information for that purpose.
- E-mails and Telephone Calls. We require a mobile phone number and/or an e-mail address from you when you register for our services. We use your e-mail/phone number for both transactional (e.g., order confirmation, refund and renewal processing, notifying your matches) and promotional (e.g., newsletters, new product offerings, special discounts, event notifications, special third-party offers) purposes. E-mail messages we send you may contain code that enables our database to track your usage of the e-mails, including whether the e-mail was opened and what links (if any) were clicked. If you would rather not receive promotional e-mails from us, please see the section below labeled “Choice/Opt-Out”. We reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to the Match and Talk services, such as service announcements and administrative messages, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them. We may also contact you by telephone or text message (including any wireless number you may provide to us) solely in connection with Match and Talk’s services. We fully comply with the requirements of the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act.
- Demographic Data. Demographic data is also collected on our site. We use this data to tailor our visitors’ experience at our site, showing them content that we think they might be interested in, and displaying the content according to their preferences. Some of this information may be shared with advertisers on a non-personally identifiable basis.
- Online Survey Data. We may periodically conduct voluntary member surveys. We encourage our members to participate in such surveys because they provide us with important information regarding the improvement of our services. You may also volunteer for certain surveys that we may offer to our users, and any additional rules regarding the conduct of such surveys will be disclosed to you prior to your participation. We do not link the survey responses to any PII, and all responses are anonymous.
Disclosure of Your Information to Third Parties
- Disclosure By Law. You acknowledge and agree that we may disclose information you provide if required to do so by law, at the request of a third party, or if we, in our sole discretion, believe that disclosure is reasonable to (1) comply with the law, requests or orders from law enforcement, or any legal process (whether or not such disclosure is required by applicable law); (2) protect or defend Match and Talk’s, or a third party’s, rights or property; or (3) protect someone’s health or safety, such as when harm or violence against any person (including you) is threatened.
- Disclosure to Protect Abuse Victims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this privacy statement or our Terms and Conditions of Service, we reserve the right, but have no obligation, to disclose any information that you submit to the services, if in our sole opinion, we suspect or have reason to suspect, that the information involves a party who may be the victim of abuse in any form. Abuse may include, without limitation, elder abuse, child abuse, spousal abuse, neglect, or domestic violence. Information may be disclosed to authorities that we, in our sole discretion, deem appropriate to handle such disclosure. Appropriate authorities may include, without limitation, law enforcement agencies, child protection agencies, or court officials. You hereby acknowledge and agree that we are permitted to make such disclosure.
- Disclosure to Trusted Third Parties By Us. We may share your non-PII with third parties, but not in a manner that would reveal your identity. We may share your PII, sometimes in conjunction with your non-PII, with service providers that may be associated with us to perform functions on our behalf. For example, outsourced customer care agents or technology assistants may need access to your information to perform services for you. Your information will be treated as private and confidential by such service providers and not be used for any other purpose than that which we have authorized. In addition, from time to time, we may share PII (such as e-mail or mailing address) about our user base with carefully selected third parties, so they can offer goods and services that we believe may be of interest to our users. If you do not wish to receive offers from our trusted partners, you can change your e-mail preferences at any time by following the steps outlined in the “Choice/Opt-Out” section below.
- Disclosure to Trusted Third Parties at Your Request. When purchasing a Match and Talk subscription or while visiting our site, we may provide you with advertisements, promotions, sweepstakes, and offers from third-party providers. If you choose to accept any such offers, you may either (depending on the situation) directly provide your information in connection with the offer to such a third-party provider, or we may provide your PII to the third-party provider of the offer you have selected. If you select an offer from a third-party provider, the third-party provider may collect additional information from you in order to fulfill your request. Such third-party providers are solely responsible for how they collect and use your information, and we are not liable for their use of your information. We may also share your PII with our co-branded partners and affiliates, but only as explicitly provided herein. If you do not wish to receive offers from our co-branded partners and affiliates, you can change your e-mail preferences at any time by following the steps outlined in the “Choice/Opt-Out” section below.
Third-Party Advertising
We may use third-party advertising agencies or other service providers to serve ads on our website. These third parties may place cookies or other tracking technology on your computer to collect non-PII about your visits to our website in order to provide you with targeted advertising based on your interests. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here.
Choice/Opt-Out
If you do not wish to receive promotional communications from us, you may opt-out by following the instructions contained in the e-mails you receive. You may also opt-out by changing your preferences in your account settings. Please note that even if you opt-out of receiving promotional e-mails from us, we may still send you non-promotional e-mails about your account or our ongoing business relations.
Security
We implement security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access. We use reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures to protect your PII within our organization. However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the security of our systems 100%.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our information practices. If we make any material changes, we will notify you by e-mail (sent to the e-mail address specified in your account) or by means of a notice on this website prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.
