This Privacy Policy explains how USBestDatingSites.com ("we", "us", or "our"), operated by intermaxGroup AG, collects, uses, and shares information when you visit this website. This policy applies to visitors from the United States and describes your rights under applicable US privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and similar state statutes.
By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.
1. Information we collect
We collect information in two ways: automatically when you visit, and directly when you contact us.
Information collected automatically. When you access the website, our servers and third-party analytics tools may record: your anonymized or truncated IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, date and time of access, and approximate geographic location (country or state level). This data is used for security, diagnostics, and aggregate traffic analysis. We do not use this data to identify you individually.
Information you provide directly. If you contact us by email or through a contact form, we collect the information you choose to submit, such as your name and email address. We use this solely to respond to your inquiry.
Cookies and similar technologies. We use strictly necessary cookies to operate the website and, with your consent, analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our content. See Section 3 for details.
2. How we use information
We use the information we collect to:
Operate and maintain the website; analyze traffic and content performance in aggregate; detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents; respond to inquiries you send us; and comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell personal information to third parties. We do not use your information to send unsolicited marketing emails.
3. Cookies and analytics
Strictly necessary cookies are required to make the website function and cannot be switched off. They do not store personally identifiable information.
Analytics cookies are placed only with your consent. We use Google Tag Manager (GTM-K68P6CR) and associated analytics tools to measure aggregate visitor behavior such as page views, session duration, and traffic sources. Data is processed in a way that does not identify individual users. You can withdraw consent at any time through our cookie preferences panel.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some website features.
4. Affiliate links and tracking
This website contains affiliate links to third-party dating platforms. When you click one of these links, a campaign identifier (such as a click ID or referral parameter) may be passed to our affiliate partner to attribute the referral. This identifier is a technical parameter and does not include your name, email address, or other directly identifying information.
Once you leave our site, the privacy policy of the destination website governs how your data is handled. We encourage you to review those policies before registering on any third-party platform.
We receive compensation from affiliate partners when users register or complete transactions. See our About & Disclosure page for full details.
5. Third-party service providers
We share limited data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the website. These include web hosting providers, analytics vendors (Google LLC), and affiliate network operators. Each provider is bound by contractual obligations to process data only as directed by us and to maintain appropriate security safeguards.
We do not share your information with unrelated third parties for their own marketing purposes.
6. Your rights under US privacy law
Depending on the state where you reside, you may have the following rights with respect to your personal information:
Right to know. You may request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal data we have collected about you, the purposes for which it was collected, and the categories of third parties with whom it has been shared.
Right to delete. You may request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions required by law.
Right to correct. You may request that we correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
Right to opt out of sale or sharing. We do not sell personal information and we do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. No opt-out is required, but you may contact us to confirm this at any time.
Right to non-discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of the rights listed above.
California residents may submit requests under the CCPA. Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and other states with enacted privacy laws may exercise comparable rights under those statutes.
To submit a privacy request, please contact us at intermaxgroup.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law (generally 45 days, with a possible extension of an additional 45 days when necessary).
7. Children's privacy
This website is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information to us, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete such information.
8. Data retention
We retain automatically collected technical data (such as server logs) for no longer than 90 days unless retention is required for security investigations or legal compliance. Contact form submissions are retained for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for up to 24 months thereafter.
9. Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
11. Contact
For privacy questions, data access requests, or complaints, please contact us via intermaxgroup.com.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the appropriate state or federal regulatory authority if you believe your privacy rights have been violated.
