GayDatingTips.com Privacy Policy
Your privacy at GayDatingTips.com - Short Version:
Here's the bottom line for your privacy at Gay Dating Tips, (Gaydatingtips.com);
We do not share your Name, E-mail Address or Mailing Address with other companies or individuals. In fact, we collect very little information about you.
The only current exceptions to this rule would be if we were requested to by a Law Enforcement Agency or Court of Law. (We wouldn't have any choice in the matter.)
As part of my quest for professionalism on the Internet, I believe in protecting the consumer, online professionalism and policing ourselves (the online/Internt marketing community). That doesn't mean that you shouldn't perform your own due diligence. You should, as that's your own responsibility.
I've been doing business online since 1999, and I can assure you that I wouldn't be around still if I didn't respect my visitors; enjoy the site resources and tips - and put your mind at ease. I'm not going to spam you and I'm not going to sell you off to a spam list. And I'll do my best to steer you clear of the scams.
For those people who need more information about our business practices, here's the full, nitty gritty detail:
