Our Privacy Policy
Marriage-Proposal-Ideas.com and BeforeProposing.com are committed to protecting the privacy of our customer's personal information. This Policy explains how we gather and use the information that we collect from our web site, located at http://www.marriage-proposal-ideas.com. This policy is subject to change over time. Changes to this statement will be posted at this URL and will be effective when posted. Your continued use of this site following the posting of any amendment, modification or change shall constitute your acceptance thereof.
Marriage-Proposal-Ideas.com and BeforeProposing.com operate as a single site.
Collection & Use of Information
When visitors sign up for our mailing list on our Marriage-Proposal-Ideas.com site, the site collects several types of information. First, the website collects contact information such as name, e-mail address, and so forth. Second, some of the forms may collect certain information as to what you are interested in (such as certain jewelry sites, types of diamonds, etc.). Like most other sites, our site may also use cookies to help make our site run better for both ourselves and our visitors.
How this information is used is summarized below:
- Navigation of Site:
It can be used to better navigate through our site.
- User Convenience:
The Marriage-Proposal-Ideas.com website includes links to selected affiliate partners (such as jewelry stores offering coupons to our visitors). In some circumstances, we will pass over information to users on the affiliate's site. This is done to reduce the number of clicks for users, or to qualify users for various promotional benefits (discounts, etc.). This way, you are able to get the discounts we post from certain sites with only clicking on the link to save time.
- Access Privileges:
Some information collected, such as when registering for our forums and message boards, is used to prevent access from unregistered visitors in order to prevent spam and related problems. This keeps the forums a much nicer place for everyone.
- Communications:
The Marriage-Proposal-Ideas.com site has several contact forms and mailing lists that users can opt-in for or use. Information taken from that (such as if you tell us what sites you are interested in or what size diamond you are looking for) is used for us to contact you with relevant information to better serve you (such as relevant coupons or diamonds that we find in our searches).
- Site Monitoring & Maintenance:
Information from visitors can also be used to measure the user traffic of various sections of the site. This information is used on an aggregate level only, and the site does not record the specific content viewed by an individual user. We use this to see what our most popular pages are, how users navigate through our site, and so forth.
We may also employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Such examples include having others analyze our site, perform updates, optimize our site for the search engines, etc.. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
In certain circumstances, we may share your customer information with trusted service providers that need access to your information to provide operational or other support services. We also may provide information to regulatory authorities and law enforcement officials in accordance with applicable law or when we otherwise believe in good faith that the law requires it.
Your personal information collected during our mailing list registration or when you sign up for anything else here will not be sold to third parties for e-mail marketing or telemarketing campaigns.
Use of IP Address
We may use your IP Address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site.
E-Commerce Transactions
Marriage-Proposal-Ideas.com offers a wide variety of products and services which may be offered either directly or through an affiliate acting on behalf of Marriage-Proposal-Ideas.com, or by third parties to whom we have established links from our website to make their products and services available to you. We currently sell nothing ourselves, though.
- Ecommerce Transactions
Directories on Marriage-Proposal-Ideas.com: Marriage-Proposal-Ideas.com does not sell anything directly. As a result, we do not collect credit card or related user-information. Other sites that we link to, such as jewelry sites, have their own forms of encryption (usually SSL), which is a secure way of collecting your credit card and other relevant information. We are not owned, operated, or otherwise related to them, so you'll have to read their own terms individual. We try as hard as we can not to recommend sites that we feel would put our visitors at any such risks. If we were to collect any payments (such as donations), we would always try to make it as secure as possible.
- Affiliate Sites:
Affiliate sites (such as other jewelry sites offering promotions to our visitors) are responsible for their own policies and procedures during e-commerce transactions. Review the vendor's policy regarding e-commerce transactions on affiliate sites. Marriage-Proposal-Ideas.com is not responsible for products and services transactions that are consummated at third party websites.
- Advertisers:
Advertisers on Marriage-Proposal-Ideas.com, which could include traditional banner-style ads, listings in directories or advertisements in the newsletter, are responsible for their own policies and procedures during e-commerce transactions. We recommend that you review the vendor's policy regarding e-commerce transactions on advertiser sites. Marriage-Proposal-Ideas.com is not responsible for products and services transactions that are consummated at advertiser websites.

Updating Your Forum User Profile
Our forums do allow you to update your profile information. Once you are logged onto our forums, you may select your profile and change any desired contact information. Realize that some information posted in your forum profile may be accessible to other members of the forum, and we are not responsible if you release information to others that you don't intend to.
