BeliefDate Profile Rules

The goal of our website is to connect individuals by analyzing the compatibility of our members' central values. Every profile may be reviewed by our Member Service Team to ensure all our site's content parallels our mission. Thus, we reserve the right to dismiss any profile that is not in keeping with BeliefDate's intent.

Any of the following actions could result in profile dismissal:

Postings from minors or incarcerated individuals

Defamatory language of any type, such as racism, hate speech, illegal activity, etc.

Any means of direct communication such as email addresses, URLs, instant messenger, IDS, phone numbers, full names, addresses, etc.

Lewd references, language or images

Business solicitations

Significant amounts of text in languages other than English

 

How does my BeliefDate Profile work?

The profile works by compiling the character traits that make you unique. From those traits, we are able to establish a basic personality sketch and scope out other members with whom you will best connect. We narrow our scope by eliminating members who do not embody the qualities that you need in your ideal connection. The rest is up to you!

 

  The BeliefDate Process  

First, you will fill out a questionnaire about yourself, so that we get a good idea of your basic personality type. Spend some time thinking about yourself and consider discussing a little bit about who you are with your friends. The same questionnaire contains inquiries about your ideal match to provide us a good indication of what you are looking for in a relationship. It will take you only about a half hour of your time. Once we have received your information we send a library of suitors that coincide with the answers you indicated on your questionnaire from our database of candidates. We send you a list of your matches! At this point, you are free to scroll through the profiles of your matches, checking out all the romantic possibilities that may lie ahead. You can chose now to see pictures and begin communication by simply subscribing to our service. If you chose to move forward, the primary stage of communication, Hand Shakes and Hellos, involves exchanging 4 multiple choice questions from a preset list of 50 with your match. Next, you will exchange 3 Free Response Questions also selected from a preset list. The third step is Open Dialog. Open Dialog is our site specific messaging tool that allows Matches to freely communicate while still protecting their privacy. Once you achieve Open Dialog with a match, you can be confident that you share similar values and priorities, the foundation of a strong relationship already in place!

You are authorized to use the BeliefDate Website (regardless of whether your access or use is intended) only if you agree to abide by all applicable laws, rules and regulations ("Applicable Law") and the terms of this Agreement.

Although we may attempt to notify you when major changes are made to these Terms of Service, you should periodically review the most up-to-date version http://www.beliefdate.com/help/type_termsS/). BeliefDate may, in its sole discretion, modify or revise these Terms of Service and policies at any time, and you agree to be bound by such modifications or revisions. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any third-party rights or benefits.

1. Personal Safety
BeliefDate STRONGLY ADVISES YOU TO USE EXTREME CAUTION BEFORE SHARING PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION WITH OTHER USERS OF THIS WEBSITE. BeliefDate DOES NOT CONDUCT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS ON OR SCREENINGS OF ITS USERS. BeliefDate ALSO DOES NOT INQUIRE INTO THE BACKGROUNDS OF ITS MEMBERS OR ATTEMPT TO VERIFY THE STATEMENTS OF ITS MEMBERS BUT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT ANY CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK OR OTHER SCREENINGS (SUCH AS SEX OFFENDER REGISTER SEARCHES), AT ANY TIME AND USING AVAILABLE PUBLIC RECORDS.

Your safety and security are very important to us. The nature of this Website promotes the sharing of personal information by users with other users. BeliefDate cannot and does not assure that it is safe for you to have direct contact with other users of this Website. Current technological developments make it possible for users of the Internet to obtain personal information about, and locate, other users, with very little other information. For example, it is possible to use certain widely available commercial Internet search engines to locate a person's home solely using that person's correct name. If you believe that any user of this Website is harassing you or is otherwise using personal information about you for unlawful purposes, we encourage you to first inform local law enforcement authorities and then to contact us via The Feedback Form so that we may take appropriate action to block further use of the Website by any user who is using this Website and information obtained from it for improper purposes.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW IN THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION. YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BeliefDate SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR USER SUBMISSIONS OR THE DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE, OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY AND THAT THE RISK OF HARM OR DAMAGE FROM THE FOREGOING RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU.

The Website is controlled and offered by BeliefDate from its facilities in the United States of America. BeliefDate makes no representations that the BeliefDate Website is appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the BeliefDate Website from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.

12. Indemnity

In any case, you affirm that you are over the age of 18, as the BeliefDate Website is not intended for children under 18. If you are under 18 years of age, then please do not use the BeliefDate Website because you are unauthorized to do so.

14. Assignment
These Terms of Service, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by BeliefDate without restriction.

15. Arbitration
Except if you opt-out or for disputes relating to: (1) your or BeliefDate intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights and patents); (2) violations of the Terms; or (3) violations of the no interference or unauthorized access provisions of the above ("Excluded Disputes"), you agree that all disputes between you and BeliefDate (whether or not such dispute involves a third party) with regard to your relationship with BeliefDate, including without limitation disputes related to these Terms of Use, your use of the service, and/or rights of privacy and/or publicity, will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration under the American Arbitration Association's rules for arbitration of consumer-related disputes and you and BeliefDate hereby expressly waive trial by jury. As an alternative, you may bring your claim in your local "small claims" court, if permitted by that small claims court's rules. You may bring claims only on your own behalf. Neither you nor BeliefDate will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by this agreement. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person's account, if BeliefDate is a party to the proceeding. This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. In the event the American Arbitration Association is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within one hundred and sixty (160) days of filing the case, then either BeliefDate or you can elect to have the arbitration administered instead by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with these Terms of Use.

You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you do so, neither you nor BeliefDate can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify BeliefDate in writing within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision. You must use this address to opt out:

BeliefDate ATTN: Arbitration Opt-out 5400 Glenridge Drive, #420962, Atlanta, Ga. 30342

You must include your name, username, telephone number, residence address, the email address you use for your BeliefDate account if applicable, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement.

If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration section will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with BeliefDate.

16. Time Limitation on Claims
You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your relationship with BeliefDate must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred.

17. General
You agree that: (i) the BeliefDate Website shall be deemed solely based in California; and (ii) the BeliefDate Website shall be deemed a passive website that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over BeliefDate, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than California. These Terms of Service shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles.

  Privacy Policy  
Privacy Policy

BeliefDate's Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we collect and use the personal information you decide to share, and help you make informed decisions when using BeliefDate, located at www. and its directly associated domains (collectively, "BeliefDate" or "Website") By using or accessing BeliefDate, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. The Information We Collect
When you visit BeliefDate you provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected by us and Web Site usage information collected by us as you interact with our Web Site.

When you register with BeliefDate, you provide us with certain personal information, such as your username, your email address, your gender, and any other personal or preference information that you provide to us.

When you enter BeliefDate, we collect your browser type and IP address. This information is gathered for all BeliefDate visitors. In addition, we store certain information from your browser using "cookies." A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. We use session ID cookies to confirm that users are logged in. These cookies terminate once the user closes the browser. By default, we use a persistent cookie that makes it easier for you to login when you come back to BeliefDate. You can remove or block this cookie using the settings in your browser if you want to disable this convenience feature or you can choose not to automatically login to the site.

When you use BeliefDate, you may set up your personal profile, form relationships, send messages, perform searches and queries, and transmit information through various channels. We collect this information so that we can provide you the service and offer personalized features. In most cases, we retain it so that, for instance, you can return to view prior messages you have sent or easily see your contact list. When you update information, we usually keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable reversion to the prior version of that information.

You can post User Submissions (as defined in the BeliefDate Terms of Use) on the Site at your own risk. Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other Users with whom you may choose to share your pages and information. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that User Submissions you post on the Site will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site. You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of User Submissions may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other Users have copied or stored your User Submissions.

We track each profile that your user account views on the website. Subscribers can see that you viewed certain profiles if you were logged in.

Any improper collection or misuse of information provided on BeliefDate is a violation of the BeliefDate Terms of Service and should be reported.

BeliefDate may also collect information about you from other sources, such as other users of the BeliefDate service through the operation of the service in order to provide you with more useful information and a more personalized experience.

By using BeliefDate, you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States.

2. Children Under Age 18
BeliefDate does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 18 or knowingly allow such persons to register. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register for BeliefDate or send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, or email address. No one under age 18 may provide any personal information to or on BeliefDate. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 18 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 18, please contact us through the form on our contact page.

3. Use of Information Obtained by BeliefDate
Much of your profile information is shown publicly to other members of the site (with the exception of your password and email address). We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by BeliefDate that we think you may find valuable.

BeliefDate may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. For instance, if someone likes your profile or sends you a personal message, you may receive an email alerting you to that fact.

Generally, you may opt out of such emails via settings, though BeliefDate reserves the right to send you notices about your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.

BeliefDate may use information in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties. This information is used in aggregate in order to allow for the planning of ad campaigns or merely for statistical purposes.

4. Sharing Your Information with Third Parties
Any information that you post on your profile will be publicly viewable. We may provide information to service providers to help us bring you the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate our business, such as to host the service at a co-location facility for servers, to send out email updates about BeliefDate, to remove repetitive information from our user lists, to process payments for products or services, or to provide search results or links (including sponsored links). In connection with these offerings and business operations, our service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a limited time in connection with these business activities. Where we utilize third parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to the BeliefDate-specified purposes. BeliefDate may provide your personal information to third parties with whom they have a business relationship for the purposes of securing the services and products you have requested or provide you with additional marketing materials from which you may choose additional products or services. BeliefDate may make your personal information available to companies or other entities not affiliated with the BeliefDate that have goods, services and offers that might be of interest to you so that they may send you these offers or present them to you.

We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the BeliefDate service or using the BeliefDate name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies.

If the ownership of all or substantially all of the BeliefDate business, or individual business units owned by BeliefDate, were to change, your user information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. BeliefDate further reserves the right to disclose, transfer or sell your personal information to companies who are affiliated with BeliefDate in BeliefDate's sole discretion. If BeliefDate changes ownership through an acquisition, merger, sale or other change of business status, it reserves the right to transfer or assign the right to use your personal information collected.

When you use BeliefDate, certain information you post or share such as personal information, comments, messages, photos, videos, or other information, will be shared. All such sharing of information is done at your own risk. Please keep in mind that if you disclose any information on any profile , that this information is publicly available.

5. Links
BeliefDate may contain links to other websites. We are of course not responsible for the privacy practices of other web sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by BeliefDate.

6. Third Party Advertising
Advertisements that appear on BeliefDate are sometimes delivered (or "served") directly to users by third party advertisers. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. These third party advertisers may also download cookies to your computer, or use other technologies such as JavaScript and "web beacons" (also known as "1x1 gifs") to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. Doing this allows the advertising network to recognize your computer each time they send you an advertisement in order to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. In this way, they may compile information about where individuals using your computer or browser saw their advertisements and determine which advertisements are clicked. BeliefDate does not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed by the third party advertisers. Third party advertisers have no access to your contact information stored on BeliefDate unless you choose to share it with them.

This privacy policy covers the use of cookies by BeliefDate and does not cover the use of cookies or other tracking technologies by any of its advertisers.

7. Security
BeliefDate takes appropriate precautions to protect our users' information. Your account information is located on a secured server behind a firewall.

  About Us  


BeliefDate is an online nondenominational Christian community for singles interested in meeting and dating other Christian singles.

  The BeliefDate Process  

Want to know more about our process, here is what we do


First, you will fill out a questionnaire about yourself, so that we get a good idea of your basic personality type. Spend some time thinking about yourself and consider discussing a little bit about who you are with your friends. The same questionnaire contains inquiries about your ideal match to provide us a good indication of what you are looking for in a relationship. It will take you only about a half hour of your time. Once we have received your information we send a library of suitors that coincide with the answers you indicated on your questionnaire from our database of candidates. We send you a list of your matches! At this point, you are free to scroll through the profiles of your matches, checking out all the romantic possibilities that may lie ahead. You can chose now to see pictures and begin communication by simply subscribing to our service. If you chose to move forward, the primary stage of communication, Hand Shakes and Hellos, involves exchanging 4 multiple choice questions from a preset list of 50 with your match. Next, you will exchange 3 Free Response Questions also selected from a preset list. The third step is Open Dialog. Open Dialog is our site specific messaging tool that allows Matches to freely communicate while still protecting their privacy. Once you achieve Open Dialog with a match, you can be confident that you share similar values and priorities, the foundation of a strong relationship already in place!
