FMP Privacy Policy
FMP does not send Spam or sell email
addresses.
About FMP and the Information We Collect:
FMP is an online social networking community that connects people through
networks of friends for dating or making new friends. To accomplish this,
our users create their own profiles which are shown to the people in their
personal network. A personal network consists of a user?s friends as well
as the extended group of people that a user is connected to via chains
of mutual friends. To fulfill the purpose of this site, some personal
information we ask for is displayed to people within these personal networks.
Information Collected/Tracked by FMP
Information submitted to FMP
FMP collects user-submitted account information such as
name and email address to identify users and send notifications related
to the use of the service. FMP also collects user-submitted profile information
such as gender, age, occupation, location, etc.
Information not Directly Submitted by Users to FMP
This is information we collect
that is not personally identifiable, such as browser type and IP
address. This information is gathered for all users to the site.
Use of Information Obtained by FMP
Information users submit to FMP
Profile information as well as first name and photos are
displayed to people in a user's personal network, to support the function
of the site as social networking community where users can meet new people
through their friends. Email address and full name are used when a user
invites a friend via email to join the service, when a user requests to
add another user to their friend list, and when we send notifications
to a user related to their use of the service. Except when inviting or
adding friends, a user's email address is not shared or displayed with
people within a user's personal network. Users within a personal network
communicate on FMP with each other through the FMP service, without disclosing
email addresses. We may also use a user's email address to send weekly
updates or news regarding our site, but the user may choose not to receive
email of this type by accessing their Account Info.
Information that users do not
submit to us
We use your server, IP address,
and browser-type related information in the general administration
of our website.
Sharing of the Information
this Site Gathers/Tracks
Except where you are expressly
informed otherwise, we do not sell, rent, share, trade or give away
any of your personal information unless required by law or for the
protection of your membership.

Use of Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data
stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user.
We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session
ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates.
A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user's hard
drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be
removed by following Internet browser help file directions. Cookies
are used to manage sessions on our site. Users must enable cookies
to use our site. Also, users may optionally use a cookie to remember
their password in order to automatically log in to our site. We
do not and will not use cookies to collect private information from
any user which they did not intentionally submit to us.
Correcting/Updating or Removing
Information
FMP users may modify or remove any of their personal information
at any time by logging into their account and accessing features such
as Edit Profile and Account Info.
Changes in Our Privacy Policy
If we change our privacy policy,
we will post those changes on our web site so our users are always
aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what
circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If we are going to use users'
personally identifiable information in a manner different from that
stated at the time of collection we will notify users via email.
Invite a Friend
If a user elects to use our Invite feature to invite a
friend to our site, we ask them for the friend's email address. FMP will
automatically send the friend an email inviting them to join the site.
FMP stores this email address for the purpose of automatically adding
the respondant to the friends list of the user sending the invitation,
and also to send reminders of the invitation. FMP does not sell these
email addresses or use them to send any other communication besides invitations
and invitation reminders. The friend may contact FMP to request the removal
of this information from our database.
Chat Rooms, Message Boards,
and Public Forums
Please keep in mind that whenever
you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example
on message boards, through e-mail, or in chat areas - that information
can be collected and used by others. In short, by posting personal
information online that is publicly accessible, you may receive
unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

every precaution to protect our users' information. We use industry standard

receive our weekly updates or news may opt-out of receiving these
communications by following the instructions contained in the email
or by logging-in and changing their settings in the Account Info

Third Party Advertising
The ads appearing on this Web site are delivered to users

compile information about where you, or others who are using your computer,
saw their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked on. This
information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that
they believe will be of most interest to you. FMP does not have access
to or control of the cookies that may be placed by the third-party ad
servers or ad networks. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies
