1.5.3 MESSAGING

This is a premium-only feature, where a Premium user may send a message to a match. However, if the match happens to be a Basic member, (s)he will not be able to message the user back. Therefore, Basic members are only able to view messages; they are unable to send them.

Users are not allowed to send images through our messaging functionality. They may only send text, including emojis.

1.9 DATA RETENTION

We will not delete the user's profile or information unless and until they complete the "Delete My Account" process from their Account - Privacy page. This involves:

1. Confirming their desire to delete
2. Clicking on the link from their email to get to the Delete my Account page
3. Filling out their reason for deletion and agreeing to the conditions

After all these steps are completed, we will delete their entire account and data from our website's main database. It will be transferred to a different database for purposes set forth below. Should the user decide to come back again, (s)he will be treated as a brand-new user.

When a user deletes their account, we will retain certain data for analytical purposes and recordkeeping integrity, as well as to prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, enforce our terms and conditions, take actions we deem necessary to protect the integrity of our services or our users, or take other actions otherwise permitted by law.
