Privacy Policy
PLUM SINGLES Matchmaking is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Statement
sets forth our current privacy practices with regard to the information we collect
when you or your computer interact with our website. By accessing www.twoofusmatchmaking.com,
you acknowledge and fully understand PLUM SINGLES Matchmaking’s Privacy Statement and
freely consent to the information collection and use practices described in this
Website Privacy Statement.
What information we collect
The types of information that we collect fall under two general categories: personally
identifiable information (PII) and non-personally identifiable information (non-PII).
PII consists of any information which can be used to specifically identify you as
an individual, whereas non-PII consists of aggregate information or any information
that does not reveal your identity. The following sections describe how your PII
and non-PII are collected by us, and how we use such information.
How we collect and use information
- Log files: Any time you visit any of our websites, our servers
automatically gather information from your browser (such as your IP addresses, browser
type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time
stamp, and number of clicks) to analyze trends, administer the site, prevent fraud,
track visitor movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information.
For example, we may log your IP address for system administration purposes. IP addresses
are logged to track a user’s session. This gives us an idea of which parts of our
site users are visiting. We do not share the log files externally.
- Cookies: We use “cookies” to keep track of some types of information
while you are visiting our website or using our services. Cookies are very small
files placed on your computer, and they allow us to count the number of visitors
to our website and distinguish repeat visitors from new visitors. They also allow
us to save user preferences and track user trends. We rely on cookies for the proper
operation of our website; therefore if your browser is set to reject all cookies,
the website will not function properly. Users who refuse cookies assume all responsibility
for any resulting loss of functionality. We do not link the cookies to any PII.

tags”) are small transparent graphic images that are often used in conjunction with
cookies in order to further personalize our website for our users and to collect
a limited set of information about our visitors. We may also use web beacons in
