Information we collect about you

In order to provide our service, we collect information about all people who use the missnu.com website and the Missnu cell phone applications. This information comes from several sources:

Information we may ask you to provide

Your billing information. If you decide to purchase a paid subscription to Missnu, we will ask you for your billing information, such as a credit card number. This information is processed by a 3rd party payment processor, never reaches our servers, and is not stored by Missnu.
Your logon credentials. We ask you to choose a password along with challenge questions and answers in case you forget your password. We store this information encrypted within a database and backup files. We use this information to guard access to your account. We never present this information to anyone, even you. You may change your logon credentials at any time. We delete your logon credentials from our database when you unsubscribe. However the information may persist for some time in our backup files.
Your contact information. We ask for an email address, a cell phone number and a home address or zipcode. We store this information encrypted within a database and backup files. We use your email address to send you notices from Missnu. We use your phone number to send you alerts. We use your home address or zipcode to ensure the people we tell you about live within a distance that you find acceptable. In the future, we may use your zipcode to choose which advertisements to present to you, or to provide demographic information to other businesses. We will never display your email address, your phone number, or your home address to anyone, even you. You may change this information at any time. You may remove this information when you unsubscribe. If you do not remove this information, we may not immediately remove it from our database. After the information is removed from our database, it may persist for some time in our backup files.
Your public profile. We ask you to provide at least one photo of yourself, and to choose some information about yourself to share with other Missnu users. We store this information encrypted within a database and backup files. We present this information to other Missnu users so that they can decide whether they would like to meet you. In the future, we may use this information to choose which advertisement to present to you. In the future, we may combine your information with other peoples' profiles and provide other businesses with summary information about people like you. We will not present your individual profile information to any organization or person other than another Missnu user. You may change your profile at any time, and we will only display your most recent profile. However we may keep previous versions of your profile in our database. You may delete your profile when you unsubscribe. If you do not delete this information when you unsubscribe, we may not immediately remove it from our database. After the information is removed from our database, it may persist for some time in our backup files.
Your preferences. In order to help find people of interest to you, we ask you to describe your preferences about other people's age, gender, interests and the like. We store this preference information encrypted within a database. You may change your preferences at any time, and we will use only your most recent preferences in our searches. However we may keep previous versions of your preferences in our database. You may delete your preferences when you unsubscribe. If you do not delete this information when you unsubscribe, we may not immediately remove it from our database. After the information is removed from our database, it may persist for some time in our backup files.

Messages you send to other users and receive from other users

We store messages between Missnu users encrypted within our database. We use this information to enable you to communicate with other users, without divulging your personal contact information to them. Normally, we display this information only to the sender and to the recipient. If a user notifies us that a message violates our Terms, we may review a message or a conversation. If we believe that a message violates the law, we may forward the message or the conversation to a law enforcement agency. We may periodically scan communications using software that characterizes messages and alerts us to threats and other violations of our Terms. If you unsubscribe, we may eventually remove the messages you have sent to others from our database.

Information about your location

We record information about your location encrypted within our database. We use this information to locate other users whose paths have crossed yours. In the future, we may use this information to choose relevant advertisements to present to you.

Information we glean from how you use Missnu

We record your interactions with the site, including the content you request, the place and time of your interaction, and information about the device you use to interact. We store this information on a different computer than the ones we use to store any other information about you. We use this information to try to improve your experience and the experience of other Missnu users. We don't display your interaction information with any Missnu users, including you. We may share summary statements about groups of users with anyone, but never in a way that would identify you or any other user. We may keep this information for the life of the Missnu site.

Information about you provided by other Missnu users

We record information about how other Missnu users interact with you. In order to facilitate meetings, we record whether other Missnu users have been shown your profile and whether they want to meet you or not. Should other Missnu users complain to us about their interaction with you, we record their complaint. We don't share any of this information with anyone outside of Missnu. We may share summary statements about groups of users with anyone, but never in a way that would identify you or any other user. We may keep this information for the life of the site.
