Nanolive is concerned about protecting your privacy. The following outlines our policies for information gathering and dissemination.

Registration

Any visitor who wishes to chat, or use other free or premium (paid) services available on the Nanolive site is asked to complete a registration form. During registration a user is required to give some information such as name, email address, birth date information, gender, country of residence and zip code if applicable. Certain services may additionally require that users provide postal mailing addresses, credit-card or other billing information. Optional data fields such as marital status, household income, interest areas, etc. may be included. We encourage our users to register and provide all mandatory and optional information so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site. Users may need to register more than once for certain services offered by Nanolive and/or its marketing partners and/or previously provided registration information may be used to “pre-populate” a registration form when a user registers for a new Nanolive service.

We use the information we collect from our members during the registration process(s) to allow us to deliver, and in appropriate cases bill members for desired services, to make Nanolive and its marketing partners more responsive to users, and to help us customize the service and target advertising, sponsorships, and email offers from us and our business partners based on our members’ demographics, likes, dislikes, and affiliations.

At our discretion, we will make aggregate information about Nanolive’s users available to help describe and identify our users to business partners, co-branded sites, the industry, and the public, as well as our advertisers. In certain cases we may also share discrete information about a user to a marketing partner to enable that partner to work with Nanolive to deliver the desired service to the user. The need to use such explicit user data will be made known to the user at the time the service is requested and user acceptance of the service shall constitute authorization of the right of Nanolive to use that explicit data for the sole purchase of such deliver of service. Nanolive will not share any detailed information with other companies without the user’s express knowledge and consent to the need to do so.

Policies for Individuals Under the Age of 16

Nanolive is intended for individuals age 16 and over only. We do not accept registrations from children under the age of 16, as we do not provide content for children. PARENTS PLEASE READ: Due to the interactive nature of our site, and in order to comply with Federal laws designed to protect your children on the Internet, we do not permit children to register on our site.
