Refund Policy
We try our best to treat all of our members fairly, just as we ourselves would like to be treated.
Sometimes it's fair to ask us for a refund, but if you've used the service, we feel that it is equally fair to expect you to pay for it.
Most people by now know that UK and European distance selling regulations state that all consumers must have a 14 day cooling off period whenever they buy a service like ours, however the service or benefit need not be provided until the 14 day period is over.
Because our members usually want to start messaging as soon as they pay us, this delay would not be very popular. That's why we ask everyone to confirm that they want us to upgrade their membership to subscriber status when they make their payment, rather than waiting 14 days. However, by instructing us in this way, we are legally entitled to make a full charge for the service we provide.
Refunds will therefore only be made if the following conditions are met:
• you have not used the service*
• you cancel your subscription within 14 days of your initial payment to us
If your refund request meets both of these requirements, we will be happy to refund you in full.
*The definition of service use is where either you or the recipient of a gift subscription/Premium message, have sent a full (not a OneLiner) related message using the site's internal message system.
Stripe handles all refunds requests that are processed by Stripe on a case-by-case basis.
Third party websites
We or third parties may provide links on our Site to third party websites. You use them at your own risk. We do not review such sites. We do not recommend or recommend such sites nor are we responsible for the content of those sites or any goods or services offered thereon. If in the course of performing a search on our site you encounter any third party website the use of which would violate any applicable law, you must immediately cease use of such website.

Privacy Policy
THIS WEBSITE AND ALL CONTENT, INFORMATION AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS. YOUR USE OF THIS WEBSITE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK
This is the Privacy Policy for Filipinos2Meet.com.
Your privacy is important, and this Privacy Policy will help you understand what information we collect and why we collect it. It will also tell you what we do to keep your information secure, and how you can control your information.
In this privacy policy we will often refer to our site and all other services operated by Filipinos2Meet.com as our "services".
1. Information we collect
The main goal with our services is to help you connect with people. It is therefore essential that you provide relevant information about yourself and what kind of people you would like to meet. You can do this by creating and maintaining a profile.
We also collect information generated as you use our services, for example access logs, your activities and third party information. When you are not signed in to your account we use unique identifiers tied to your browsers and devices. Some of this is stored in Cookies. When you are signed in, information will also be stored in your account.
The information we collect may or may not be reviewed by staff and moderators. This is to detect and prevent illegal activities, fraud, abuse and security issues, and to ensure compliance with our terms of use and applicable Laws. We reserve the right to hand out any information we have about you to any law enforcement authority upon request.
A. Information you provide
As a general rule, please consider that all information you provide will be collected. Some information is temporary and will be deleted when no longer needed, whereas other information will be stored as long as you have an account with us.
Account and profile information
When you create an account, you provide us with things like login credentials and some basic profile information such as your gender and date of birth.
You may also choose to provide more detailed profile information about yourself. Some information may be considered "sensitive" in certain jurisdictions, such as your ethnicity, sexual orientation and religion. If you choose to provide sensitive information, you consent to our processing of that information. Your profile will show information about when you are online/offline or when you were last online to make it easier for people to meet and to communicate. Your profile will be visible to the public.
We may also collect private information such as your email. Your private information will remain hidden from the public.
User content
We collect the content you create, upload, send to or receive from others when using our services. This can for example be messages you write and receive, and photos and other media that you upload.
Data processing through app stores
Before you can install our app, you may have to enter into a user agreement with an app store operator (e.g. Google or Apple). Our app is available on different app platforms, depending on your particular operating system.
In order to install and use our app via these app stores, you will need to have a valid account with the app store operator as well as a compatible device (e.g. a smartphone). Filipinos2Meet.com has no control over the collection, processing and use of personal data in this respect. The relevant app store operator will be the sole data controller of this information. If necessary, please contact the operator of the respective app store directly for information about their data processing. Filipinos2Meet.com is the data controller with respect to your personal data only when you use the Filipinos2Meet.com app.
Cloudflare
In order to secure this website and optimize loading times we use a "Content Delivery Network" (CDN). This CDN is a service of Cloudflare, Inc, 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. Use of the Cloudflare service requires website enquiries and website content to be transmitted and processed via its server. In connection with this, data is consolidated to form statistics, which cannot be deactivated.
We have entered into a processing agreement with Cloudflare on the basis of the standard contractual clauses as defined by the EU Commission on 4 June 2021 and the use of additional technical and organisational security measures.
Communications with Filipinos2Meet.com
If you communicate with us directly, we will collect the information you provide to us in this communication.
B. Information we collect when you use our services
Your browsers and devices
We collect information about the browsers and devices you use to access our services. This enables us to tailor the user experience to your browser and/or device. For example, you may be able to see more information on a big screen than a small, and sometimes things that work with some devices will not work in others. We constantly tweak our software to deliver to best possible experience to different browsers and devices. We may also use this information in order to prevent fraudulent behavior and other abuse.
Your activity
We collect information about your activities while using our services. This can be things like your searches, members whom you interact with, view, pin, like, block, report, photos you flag and so on.
Your location information
We may collect information about your location using your IP address or your browser's Geolocation API. Your browser may or may not use your device's GPS, Wi-Fi access points, cell towers, sensor data and Bluetooth-enabled devices in order to provide this information. You can switch off (or choose not to enable) Geo Location sharing with our services in your browser, but you cannot choose to disable Geo Location determined by your IP address. We will always know your IP address, as it would be impossible to send you the pages your browser requests without this information.
C. Information from third parties
Sometimes we will collect information we find about you in publicly accessible sources, such as for example Google Search. We also use information offered by security partners in order to protect against abuse. For example, when you sign up in our site, we may ask you for a cell phone number which we use for verification. We may or may not check if your cell phone number has been associated with abuse, or if you purchased your number online to hide your true location. We also check your IP address up against various sources to see if it has been associated with abuse, if it is a proxy or VPN address and more.
2. Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of textual information sent from websites you visit to your browser. When you visit the websites again (even hours, days, months or years later), the cookie will be sent back from your browser to the website. Using this mechanism, the website can remember information about your previous visits.
You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. However, please note that our site will not work properly if you disable cookies. For example, you will not be able to sign in to your account.
Why do we use cookies?
Cookies can be used for many purposes. Below are some of the purposes for which we use cookies:
Site features and layout
We use cookies for various settings such as your selected size of avatars in chats, to determine if you have muted a sound or not, to see if a notice has already been read or not, to remember your username when you have signed out, and elementary layout/design cookies such as the size of your browser's window and device's screen so that we may tailor the user experience to you.
Authentication
We use cookies to verify your account and to let you sign in so that you may access your private data and get a personalized experience.
Session state
These are cookies that will make a website remember you between page requests. If you close your browser completely, session state cookies are usually deleted and your session with the website is terminated. This is usually OK and intended behavior.
Security
We use cookies to detect and prevent illegal activities, fraud, abuse and security issues. For example, we may protect your account when someone may be attempting to gain access by rapidly guessing many different passwords. There are many methods that can be deployed using cookies as a security measure, but we cannot discuss them in detail as this could render them useless.
Cookies and Web Beacons used by Third Party Advertisers and Traffic Measurement Services.
A Web Beacon is a technology to unobtrusively (usually invisibly) allow checking that a user has accessed some content. A common technique is to place a small transparent graphic image on a web page and monitor when this image is loaded from the server and by which IP address.
We use third parties for advertising and analytics
Advertising
We use Google AdSense and partners of Google AdSense to show both personalized and non-personalized ads on our services.
Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
Advertising cookies are also used for necessary operating purposes such as rate limiting and abuse prevention.
Some third party vendors may also use web beacons to collect information in the ad serving process. Third party cookies and web beacons are governed by each third party's specific privacy policy, not by our service's privacy policy.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.
You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity.
For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/
3. Why we collect data
Our services are based on organizing and processing data in meaningful ways so that we can provide you with the best possible experience:
Provide our services
We use your and other users' information to deliver our services. For example, we process your searches and profile information in order to connect you with people who may be of interest to you, and to present you to people who may be interested in you. We provide you with messaging features so that you can communicate with others and so on. These services are all based on data from you and our other users.
Maintain, operate and improve our services
We may use your information to ensure that our services are working properly, to find errors and make improvements. For example, we may discover that our messaging feature does not work well for you, that certain pages crash or respond slowly, that how we organize information makes it hard to find and understand, that users request new or improved features and so on.
Provide personalized services
We use your information to provide you with services tailored specifically to you. For example, we may suggest other users to you based on the ones you already like. We also try to adjust the user experience based on the capabilities of the device(s) you are using.
Personalized Advertisements
It would be impossible to provide our free services without any income. We use Google AdSense to monetize our services.
Google AdSense will try to target ads that are most useful to you. For example, if you like pizza, Google Ads may use your IP address to determine your approximate location so that we perhaps can show you an advertisement for a nearby pizza restaurant.
Measuring performance
We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic. This helps us better understand how our services are used and to identify which pages perform well or poorly, from which locations our services are visited, which devices, browsers and operating systems that are used and so on. We also use Google Analytics to measure marketing effectiveness.
Communication and notifications
We use information we collect from you to interact with you directly. This can for example be your email address or your cell phone number if you give us permission to do so. This communication can be responses to support requests, or notifications for various events such as when someone contacts you in our services. Notifications can be controlled at your Profile Settings.
Security, fraud and abuse prevention.
We use information we collect to protect our users, the public and Filipinos2Meet.com.
The greatest challenge providing our kind of services is to detect and prevent scam, spam, fraud, harassment, threats, illegal activities or other kinds of abuse which are in violation of our terms of use. We use several different automated algorithms and technologies as well as manual examination of information for this purpose, and we retain data related to security issues, fraud and abuse to prevent recurrences.
While we cannot guarantee that you will not encounter abuse using our services, we can guarantee you that combatting abuse is of the highest priority. We have a number of different reporting and flagging systems in our services. We ask you to please use those systems to alert us if you encounter anyone who violates applicable laws or our terms of use.
Legal obligations
We use information we collect to assist law enforcement authorities, to comply with legal requirements and to enforce or exercise our rights.
4. How we share information
Your profile and profile photos
Your profile and profile photos will not be publicly available. Please consider carefully what information you share. Do not disclose any contact information such as phone numbers, email addresses and other social media usernames on your profile. This can be given in private messaging with those you trust.
Because your profile will not publicly visible, it won’t also appear on public search engines and other third party sites. We do not control who reads your publicly available information and how they use this information, so please consider your privacy carefully.
Your private messages
Your private messages can be viewed by you and those you send them to. Your private messages are also checked by automatic filters and algorithms to ensure compliance with our terms of use and applicable laws. On rare occasions staff will do spot checks of your messages for the same purpose.
Service providers
We may share information with third party service providers which help us provide our services. For example, if we send an SMS to your cell phone, we use the services of a third party, and thus we must provide your cell phone number and the SMS content to them. All of our service providers and partners must agree to strict confidentiality obligations.
Advertising
We work with third party advertising partners to show you ads that we think may interest you. Our advertising partners may set and access their own cookies and web beacons on our services, and they may otherwise collect or have access to information about you which they may collect over time and across different online services.
Analytics
We use analytics providers such as Google Analytics. Google Analytics may also be placing and reading cookies on your browser or use web beacons to collect information.
Business transfers
If our services are acquired (for example sold), all the data will be transferred to the new owner.
With your consent
We may share information with your consent.
For legal reasons
We will share your personal information when we in good faith believe it is necessary for us to do so in order to comply with a legal obligation under applicable law, or respond to valid legal process, such as a search warrant, a court order, or a subpoena. We will also share personal information if we in good faith believe that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:
• Enforce this Privacy Policy and our terms of use, including investigation of potential violations hereof.
• Detect and prevent illegal activities, fraud, abuse and security issues.
• Protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Filipinos2Meet.com, our users, or the public as required or permitted by law.
5. Cross-border data transfers
Filipinos2Meet.com is a global service. We may transfer personal data to countries other than the country in which the data was originally collected.
Our main servers are currently located in Finnland and Germany. This may or may not change in the future. We also use Content Delivery Networks for public data such as your public photos. Content Delivery Networks distribute data to servers near the end users in order to improve access speeds and availability. Our Advertising and Analytics partners may also have servers located outside of your country of residence.
We use Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to permit data transfers from the EEA, Switzerland, the UK and Brazil to other countries. These contractual clauses binds the companies involved to protect the privacy and security of your data, and gives the data the same protection it has in Europe or Brazil. This is only required by law for residents of the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, the UK and Brazil, but we provide the same level of privacy and security for residents of all countries.
6. Security
We only use the finest data centers with security staff, backup power and high-quality hardware. Data is backed up at least every hour to physically separated backup servers, and we use encryption to keep your data private while in transit.
We routinely check for security vulnerabilities and attacks, and we keep our servers up-to-date with the latest security patches. If we suspect or detect any breach of security we may suspend your account. We take a "better safe than sorry approach" to security issues.
Still, no system is without failure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
7. Data retention and deletion
We keep your personal data only as long as we need it to provide you with our services, to comply with legal or regulatory requirements, to resolve disputes, and when necessary for security purposes, fraud and abuse prevention.
A. When you delete your account
You can delete your account from from your Profile Settings. If you have forgotten your login credentials, we will ask you to verify your identity. If you cannot prove your identity, data will be retained.
When you choose to delete your account, we immediately start the process of removing it. First, we aim to immediately remove your profile from view by others using our services. Then we start the process of completely deleting the data from our storage systems. Because we backup data continuously, it may take up to 30 days for all data contained in those backup archives to be deleted.
Caution
Please note that deleted accounts cannot be restored if you regret deleting it, and that all data sent to and from deleted accounts (for example messages) also will be deleted. If you have sent important information to other users that have not yet read it, they will never be able to.
B. When your account expires
Inactive accounts might be deleted after 360 days, incomplete accounts might be deleted after 7 days, and accounts containing junk or inappropriate data might be deleted immediately.
C. Exceptions
Legal or regulatory requirements

Security, fraud and abuse prevention.
We may ban those who violate applicable laws, our terms of use, or threaten our users' safety and security. When this happens, we may keep data for up to 360 days. This is to try to prevent repeated occurrences by for example preventing a user who was banned from opening a new account. Banned accounts will of course not be visible on the services anymore.
Some data from banned users may be anonymized and used to train our system to detect and prevent security breaches, fraud and abuse in the future. Such data cannot be traced back to the user and is kept for as long as our services exist.
