What Personal Information We Collect and How We Collect It

In order to provide our Services, we collect information about you that, alone or in combination with other information, can be used to identify you as an individual (“personal information”). What personal information we collect and process depends on how and why you interact with us.

When you register for an account or subscribe to any of our Services, we collect a variety of information about you, including your contact information such as your name, email address, contact number, mailing address, date of birth, financial information, dating preferences, etc.

It’s your choice whether to include sensitive information on your profile and to make that sensitive information public. Please do not post or add personal data to your profile that you would not want to be publicly available.

We may periodically conduct voluntary member surveys. We encourage our members to participate in such surveys because they provide us with important information regarding the improvement of our Services.

While this information taken together could be considered personal information, we do not use this information to personally identify you.

We use “cookies” to keep track of some types of information while you are accessing 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 Websites and distinguish repeat visitors from new visitors.

As an integral part of providing the Bdub Service, we will disclose your profile information (including, but not limited to, last login date, whether you are currently online, your compatibility score) to your matches. Photos and other profile information posted by you will be available to premium subscribers that are matched with you. We never share your contact information with your matches.

Abuse may include, without limitation, elder abuse, child abuse, spousal abuse, neglect, or domestic violence. Information may be disclosed to authorities that we, in our sole discretion, deem appropriate to handle such disclosure. Appropriate authorities may include, without limitation, law enforcement agencies, child protection agencies, or court officials. You hereby acknowledge and agree that we are permitted to make such disclosure.

You acknowledge and agree that we may disclose information you provide if required to do so by law, or if we, in our sole discretion, believe that disclosure is reasonable to (1) comply with the law, requests or orders from law enforcement, or any legal process (whether or not such disclosure is required by applicable law); (2) protect or defend Bdub’s, or a third party’s, rights or property; or (3) protect someone’s health or safety, such as when harm or violence against any person (including you) is threatened.

We only accept registrations to our Services from users who are 18 years or older (or the age of majority in applicable jurisdictions), and any information we may receive from users we believe to be under the age of 18 will be purged from our database.

We store information in a combination of electronic storage facilities, paper-based files and other records.

You are responsible for your safety when meeting users in person. Bdub will not be responsible for any damages, accidents and loss of money and properties.

BDUB Ratings and Reviews Policy

How ratings are calculated

Ratings and Reviews for matches and dates, showing the 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 star ratings, are calculated based on the users’ current average rating score from other users rate and reviews.

What others will see when you leave a review

Most ratings and reviews are visible to everyone. Reviews will only show your first name and the date you wrote it.

Guidelines on Ratings and Reviews

Ratings and reviews are meant to be helpful and trustworthy. Reviewing matches or dates on the app is a great way to share helpful insight to other users who will match and date that same person. This will also help the community to be more accountable in their actions.

Make your reviews useful and informative. Be factual.
Try to include both positives and “to improve”.
Keep it readable; check grammar and spelling, and don’t use excessive capitalization and punctuation.
Be nice to others. Appreciate good things about the person.
Don’t post fake or inaccurate reviews. You’ll be banned.
Don’t post reviews to mislead other users or manipulate the rating.
Don’t post reviews on behalf of others.
Don’t post personal or confidential information.
Don’t post obscene, profane, or offensive language.
Don’t post reviews that harass, bully, or attack others. Don’t promote violence, condone violence, or incite hatred toward an individual or group.

If you have been reported violating these guidelines, we’ll notify you that your account may be permanently banned.

If you want to report a specific review for violations, take a screenshot and email it to bdubhelph@gmail.com
