About MamboMundo.com
MamboMundo.com is the sole owner and operator of the website.
MamboMundo.com and of the information collected on the website.
MamboMundo.com endeavors to be an all-encompassing website designed
to fulfill the needs of today's singles community. MamboMundo.com
enhances the single lifestyle by providing a web-based portal for
people to meet one another in the interests of friendship as well as
dating. To facilitate this, MamboMundo.com offers next generation
personal ads, focused social interest circles, dating advice and

What Information is Collected or Tracked
MamboMundo.com is a membership-based service. To enjoy the services
and products offered by MamboMundo.com, a person voluntarily
registers on the site to become a Member and submits certain
personally identifiable information. Visitors (non-members) may
browse certain parts of the website at no cost and without entering
any personally identifiable information. The term "user" is defined
generally as any person, including Members and visitors, who access
the website for any purpose. The provisions in this privacy policy
pertain to all users of the website, unless designated otherwise.
Information gathered by MamboMundo.com falls into two categories:
directly submitted and indirectly (passively) submitted.
Directly Submitted Information
Only Members are required to submit a range of personally
identifiable information about themselves as part of the
registration process. The information directly submitted to
MamboMundo.com can be classified into two categories: Public and
Private.
Public Information
The goal of MamboMundo.com is to provide a forum for people to get
together. To this end, MamboMundo.com encourages the posting of
certain personally identifiable information to be placed in a
general public viewing area of the website which cannot be used to
contact a particular user ("Public Information"). Most Public
Information is optional and its public posting is encouraged so that
the user has the best experience possible with MamboMundo.com's
matching service. A user's public information includes, but is not
limited to, any of the following listed separately or in
combination: photo, gender, age, physical appearance, relationship
sought, marital status, race, religion, and educational level
Members also receive an Online Name that is used on both the public
viewing and member profile areas. We strongly encourage all members
to not use their real name or a variation of their name, but to
select an Online Name that is unique and different.
Private Information
For users to become Members and to access various services and
membership levels, and for MamboMundo.com to provide its services,
products and operational support for the site, we require the
following personally identifiable "Private Information": first and
last name, home address, email address, birth date, telephone
number, and member password. To become a Subscription Member, we
also require financial information for payments (such as a billing
address, name of credit card holder, credit card number and
expiration date). All private information can be updated by the
Member at any time from the "Edit Account" section of the website.
This Private Information is deemed to be confidential. If accurate
and current Private Information is not provided, we will be unable
to process your membership.
"Send This Profile"- Third Party Personally Identifiable
Information
If a user elects to use our "Send This Profile" service for
informing a friend about a potential match, we ask the user for the
friend's email address, which is defined as "third-party personally
identifiable information." MamboMundo.com, Inc. will automatically
send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit that public
profile on the site. MamboMundo.com does not store the email address
or use it for any other purpose.
Indirectly Submitted Information
Users may explore the website and access certain portions without
directly providing any personally identifiable information. However,
this website indirectly collects certain types of information from
users when they visit MamboMundo.com. Such passively submitted
information collected from users is not classified as personally
identifiable information, nor is it linked to personally
identifiable information. Like most websites, we use log files. This
includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type,
referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of
clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's
movement.
MamboMundo.com does not employ the use of Clear Gifs (a.k.a. Web
Beacons/Web Bugs) anywhere on its site or in its emails.
How Information is Used
MamboMundo.com does not sell, lease, disclose, trade, or give away
your personally identifiable information to third parties outside
the parameters of this privacy policy and the Terms of Use
Agreement. We may provide aggregate statistics about our members and
visitors regarding demographic information, traffic patterns, user
movements and related website information to reputable third
parties, but these statistics do not disclose personally
identifiable information from or about a particular user.
Public Information
Public Information provided by a Member is used to create a profile
that is typically viewable to all other users of the website for
searching and matchmaking purposes. Publicly posted information
cannot be used to contact a member by real name, home or billing
street address, phone number, email address, etc.
We strongly encourage all members to not use their real name or a
variation of their name, but to select an Online Name that is unique
and different.
MamboMundo.com IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR USERS WHO INTENTIONALLY OR
OTHERWISE DISCLOSE PRIVATE INFORMATION IN THE FREE TEXT AREAS OF
THEIR PROFILE, EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE OR IN PUBLIC FORUMS WHICH ARE
PUBLICLY VIEWABLE BY USERS SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
FOLLOWING AREAS OF MamboMundo.com: "PLACE PERSONAL ADS," "WRITE A
MESSAGE,", "READ A MESSAGE", AND "MESSAGING BOARDS"
Private Information
MamboMundo.com will use a Member's personally identifiable Private
Information primarily for three reasons: 1) customer service and
operational issues; 2) billing issues; and 3) to investigate
violations of our Terms of Use Agreement and to conduct any
enforcement measures. All Private Information submitted by the
Member is kept confidential and will not be disclosed to third
parties except as required by law; to protect the visitors and
members, employees, or property of MamboMundo.com; and in the event
of a merger or a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the
business, assets, or equity of MamboMundo.com and /or its parent
company to another company or entity.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to
information about the user. The cookie contains no personally
identifiable information. We use a session ID cookie so that once
the user closes the browser, the cookie terminates. The cookie is
used to verify your logged-in status. A Member must be logged in to
their account to use MamboMundo.com.
As a User, you can choose to have your computer warn you each time a
cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies.
This is done through the browser's (like Netscape Navigator or
Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is different, so look at
your browser's "HELP" menu to learn the correct way to modify your
cookies setting. If you turn off your cookies, you may not have
access to many features at the website or other services may not
function properly. For example, Members will not be able to log in
to their accounts if the cookies are turned off.
Third Party Advertising
This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by MamboMundo.com
only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertiser.
Operational Service Providers and Third Party Intermediaries
It may be necessary to share personal information with
MamboMundo.com's operational service providers, the specialists that
provide internal support to our operations including billing and
fulfillment of membership services. For example, MamboMundo.com uses
an outside credit card processing company to bill for services. We
have been advised by our operational service providers that they do
not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information
for any secondary purposes.

THOUGH WE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO PRESERVE USER PRIVACY, WE MAY NEED

OR OTHERWISE DISCLOSE PRIVATE INFORMATION IN THE FREE TEXT AREAS OF
THEIR PROFILE, EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE, OR IN OTHER PUBLIC FORUMS WHICH
ARE PUBLICLY VIEWABLE BY USERS SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE

Links
For the convenience of our users, this website links to other sites.
Please be aware that MamboMundo.com is not responsible for the
privacy policies or business practices of such other third-party
websites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our
website and to read the privacy statements of each and every website
that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy
policy statement applies solely to information collected by
MamboMundo.com's website.
Security
This website takes several precautions to protect Members'
information. When Members submit personally identifiable information
via the website, their information is protected both online and
off-line. Our order form asks users to enter sensitive information
(such as credit card numbers). Such information is encrypted and is
protected with the most widely used and trusted encryption software
in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order
form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape
Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed
to un-locked, or open, when users are just "surfing".
We also take certain measures to protect personally identifiable
information off-line. All Members' information, not just the
sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted from access in
our offices. Only authorized employees who require the information
to perform a specific job (for example, a billing clerk or a
customer service representative) are granted access to such
information. We also provide training to new employees that have
access to our confidential databases and Members information. Our
production servers that store personally identifiable information
are also in a secure environment, in a fortified facility with
biometric identification systems.
If you have any questions about the security at our website,
contact us.
Correcting/Updating or Removing Personal Information
All personally identifiable Public and Private Information can be
accessed, corrected, and updated via the "Edit Account" section of
the website at any time. Most information may be removed via the
same section, except for the required Private Information needed to
be a Member such as: first and last name, home address, email
address, birth date, telephone number, and member password.
Notification of Changes and Opt-in/Opt-out Policy
If changes to our privacy policy become necessary, MamboMundo.com
will post those changes to this privacy policy statement, so our
users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use
it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it to third
parties. If we are going to use a Member's personally identifiable
information in a manner significantly different from that stated at
the time of collection we will notify members via email and our
members will have an affirmative choice ("Opt-in") as to whether or
not we can use their information in this manner. If our members do
not provide such consent we will continue to use their information
in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information
was collected.
Contacting MamboMundo.com
If users have any questions or suggestions regarding our privacy
policy, please contact us.
