Use of Information Gathered by Lovethescene

We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services and features offered by Lovethescene that we think you may find valuable.

Profile information is used by Lovethescene primarily to be presented back to and edited by you when you access the service and to be presented to others permitted to view that information by your privacy settings. In some cases, this information may be supplemented by other users (e.g. using the "Post-It" feature to add things to your profile).

Profile information you submit to Lovethescene will be available to individuals that are allowed to view your information. Your name and profile picture will be available in search results across Lovethescene and may be made available to third party search engines.

Lovethescene may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. For instance, you may receive notifications informing you of new events on the site, messages, or friend requests.

In most cases, you may opt out of such emails on your settings page, though Lovethescene reserves the right to send you notices about your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.

Lovethescene is not responsible for the use of information entered on our website by parties other than Lovethescene.

Lovethescene may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other web sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information.
