We at Two Muslims Inc. (“we” or “Two Muslims”) have created this privacy policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to protecting your personal information and informing you about how we handle it. This privacy policy only applies to transactions and activities in which you engage, and data gathered, on the TwoMuslims.com web site, TwoMuslims.com Talk (Instant Messaging Service) and double blind email communications between Two Muslims members (collectively, the “Site”) but does not apply to any other web site or offline point of contact between Two Muslims, or any other company, and consumers. Please review this privacy policy periodically as we may modify it from time to time. This privacy policy was created on May 6, 2003. Each time you visit the Site or provide us with information, by doing so you are accepting the practices described in this privacy policy at that time.

The protection of your privacy being very important, we have adopted the following practices to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information. We will notify all registered users via email or by providing 30 days notice on the site of any change to this Privacy Statement.

What information do you gather automatically from visitors?
We use your IP address (the series of numbers associated with your individual computer) to help us maintain our site and identify problems with our server. Your IP address does not disclose any personally revealing information about you. We do use cookies to identify traffic that comes through advertising and to facilitate a more user-friendly experience. Cookies are small pieces of information that a web site places on your computer's hard drive so we know it's you when you visit. This helps us to create a personalized experience for you when you visit our site. The use of cookies is a very common practice on the Internet. If you are uncomfortable with this, you can disable all cookies through your browser settings. Your enjoyment of our site won't be affected if you have set your browser to reject cookies.

What information will you ask me for?
When you register to use any Two Muslims service you will be asked for some general identifying information which will enable us to provide you with this individualized service. We gather contact information (like your email address), demographic information (like your city of residence or postal code). We may share some of this information for our own research purposes with our professional advisors or consultants and third party partners, however the information shared will be limited to non-personally identifying demographic information shared under cover of a confidentiality agreement. We will also collect personally identifying information such as your date of birth.

If you choose to become a Paid Member, we collect financial information (like your credit card number and expiry date). We will only use this information in the course of providing our service to you.

Once you have registered, you will be given the option of creating a pseudonymous profile (nickname and personal description). You will be asked for some personal but non-identifying information to complete your profile (i.e. whether you have dependants, height, body type, race, whether you smoke, etc). This information is not linked in any way to your personally identifiable information, for other members to see. Obviously, if you provide us with a photograph some of your information may become personally identifiable information. We do offer several levels of privacy on your photo in order to provide you with the degree of privacy that you feel comfortable with. You may choose to have your photo open for viewing to any visitor to the site, or limited to site members (including Free and Paid Members), or restricted to an “on request only” basis. Beyond the basic requirements of contact information, date of birth, and gender the amount of information you choose to provide is optional. However, by limiting the amount of information you share with other users you may be limiting the number of interested correspondents and reducing your chances of finding a match. At all times, you should exercise caution when providing personally identifying information to other members.

How will this information be used and who has access to it?
We may use your contact information to send you valuable updates and timely notices of promotions and mailbox status reports. Our site provides you with the opportunity to opt-out to receiving different types of communications from us at the point where we request registration information. You may modify this choice at any time by selecting "My Preferences" from the member home page.
Your non-personally identifying demographic information is used to personalize your experience, allow other members to find you through a search, to compose your personal profile - which is associated with a pseudonymous identity you have created - and to deliver targeted advertising and promotional offers to you from external companies that are of the highest relevance to your demographic profile. Other than your mail box, your contact information is never available to other members or organizations.

In the event that you decide to become a Paid Member of the Two Muslims community, you will be asked for your financial information (like credit card number) which cannot be read by others when you initiate your order through a secured system. You will know you are in secure mode when the tiny padlock icon - located at the bottom of your browser - appears "locked".

The personally identifiable information we collect from you is used for internet review and to improve the content and functionality of our web server or customize the layout of our pages for each individual member. The specific information we collect is not shared with other organizations and we will never release your personally identifiable information to an external organization without your prior consent except for the purposes of validating credit information and collecting debts, or unless we reasonably believe we are required to do so by operation of law.

Can I change the information I have already given you?
You can always verify the non-personally identifying demographic information included within your Profile by selecting “Edit Profile” from the member home page. You may also remove your profile from public viewing by choosing “Hide Profile” in the “Edit Profile” section.

Do you monitor online behavior?
Our members communicate with each other through instant messages and onsite mail. While we do not, as a rule, moderate or monitor members' private exchanges, we reserve the right to do so if we suspect users of being under 18 or of using our service for the purpose of solicitation or any other violation of our terms of use or Privacy Statement. Member submissions that appear on the public area of the site are moderated and, if necessary, we reserve the right to edit, delete, remove or not use any communication on a public area of the site.

Members may choose to participate in community polls. The results of these polls are tracked by IP address only and do not reveal any personal identifiable information linked to the individual voters.

Advertisers
When you inquire about advertising opportunities on our site, you will be asked for contact information and information related to your advertising objectives. This information will be used to provide you with the business information you are seeking. Your information is only shared with internal staff. TwoMuslims.com may contain links to other sites not affiliated with Two Muslims. Please note that these other sites may have privacy policies that differ from those of Two Muslims. We have no control over any personal information that you provide to these sites.

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf. These companies may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single pixel gifs or web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and action tags is completely anonymous.

Referrals

If you choose to use our Tell-A-Friend service for informing a friend about our site, we ask you for your friend’s name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site and to take advantage of any potential promotions we have at the time. Two Muslims stores this information for the purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of our referral program. To find out more about the Referral Program please select “Let's tell my friends...” from the member home page.

Affiliates
When you register to become an Affiliate of our site, you will be asked for contact information and information related to your site. Your information will only be used by internal staff and will never be shared with anyone external to the company other than our advisors and representatives without your consent, unless required to do so by operation of law. Your information will be used to secure your approval as an Affiliate, to facilitate communication between our two sites and to send you payment, based on your site's performance.
