6. Data Storage and Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers behind firewalls.

Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. We also use encryption for sensitive data transmission and secure password hashing for user authentication.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Site. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.

We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

8. Children's Privacy

Our Site is not intended for children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you are under 16, do not use or provide any information on this Site or through any of its features, make any purchases through the Site, or provide any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, email address, or any screen name or user name you may use.

If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 16 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 16, please contact us at [email protected].

9. International Data Transfers

Light House Dating is based in France, and your information may be processed and stored in France and other countries where we operate or where our service providers operate. By using our Site or providing us with any information, you consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of your information in these countries. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country.

When we transfer your personal information outside of the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by implementing appropriate safeguards, including:

• Using specific contracts approved by the European Commission that give personal data the same protection it has in Europe (Standard Contractual Clauses).
• Transferring data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of revised Privacy Policy means that you accept and agree to the changes.
