Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) sets out the rules for using the TheElenaDate.com website (referred to as the “Site,” “we,” or “us”). It explains the types of personal information we collect, the purposes and methods of processing it, how it is stored and protected, the parties with whom it may be shared, and the choices you have concerning its collection and disclosure.

This Policy applies solely to TheElenaDate.com and our own data-management practices. It does not extend to third-party websites that may be accessible through links on our pages. Such external sites maintain their own privacy policies that describe how they handle personal data.

We respect and value the confidentiality of your personal information. By continuing to browse or use this Site, you acknowledge and accept the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.

In line with relevant data protection laws, TheElenaDate.com acts as the “data controller,” which means we determine the purposes and methods for handling the personal information collected through our Site. This Privacy Policy applies only in situations where TheElenaDate.com operates in that capacity.

Please note: TheElenaDate.com is an independent, third-party informational website designed to provide reviews, insights, and news about the online dating platform ElenaDate. We are not affiliated with, owned by, or officially connected to any dating service or platform, including any entities that may have similar names. All content on this Site is for informational purposes only.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. Should we learn that such data has been obtained, it will be deleted immediately. If you believe a minor’s information has been provided to us, please contact us at https://theelenadate.com/contact-us/ so we can promptly address the matter.

6. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We take your privacy seriously and do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share non-personal, aggregated information with trusted partners for analytical or reporting purposes, but this data cannot be used to identify you.

Information may be disclosed if required by law, court order, or necessary to protect our legal rights or investigate potential misuse of the Site.

Some pages may contain affiliate links. Clicking these links may earn us a commission, at no additional cost to you. These links may use cookies provided by third-party networks, which operate under their own privacy policies.

7. Data Retention & Security

TheElenaDate.com retains user-submitted information (such as contact form messages) only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was provided or as required by applicable laws. We regularly review stored information and delete it when it is no longer relevant.

We implement reasonable technical and administrative measures to protect the limited data we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. This includes secure server configurations, encryption when appropriate, and restricted access to personal data.

However, no system of internet transmission or storage is entirely secure. While we make every effort to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You use the Site at your own risk.
