This Policy incorporates our Terms of Service,
and if there is a conflict between this Policy and our Terms of Service, the Terms of Service prevail.

our access to it. To obtain a subscription to this Service you must provide us with a screen name,
password, email address, age information, and payment method information.
Your use of this Service may also include the transfer of your Personally-identifiable
information, individual information, personal data, and/or sensitive information outside of your

you have the right and ability to withhold the transfer of your Personally-identifiable information,
individual information, personal data, and/or sensitive information by not establishing an account
with this Service. You agree that the transfer of such information is necessary to establish a
relationship with this Service, and by establishing an account with this Service you provide
express voluntary consent for your Personally-identifiable information, individual information,
personal data, and/or sensitive information to be transferred and processed outside of your
country, including without limitation from the European Union to the United States.
We may request Personally-identifiable
information on specific pages that allow users to contact us,
including the "Sheriff's Office," "Unsubscribe from
e-mail," "Cancel my account," "Report Bugs," and
"Help" services. In all of the above cases, such information is being
collected to assist us in solving a specific issue addressed by a user and/or
to allow us to contact a user with an appropriate response. At any point on our websites where
Personally-identifiable information is requested, any information
that is optional to provide, rather than mandatory, will be clearly marked as such.

Video Host Users
We appreciate the trust you put in our Service and want to highlight additional aspects of our policy
relating uniquely to you. To become a Video Host you must provide us with your name, address, email
address, date of birth, social security number, and other documentation and information which we use to
verify your age and identity. The information that you provide or authorize us to collect or access is
used to verify your age and identity, as well as to provide you with support services while you are using
this Service. A third party service may be used to confidentially validate Video Hosts' age and
identification information. You may receive email communications related to the support services that we
provide to you. You may opt-out of such email communications at any time by contacting iFriendsV2 and
discontinuing use of this Service.

Use of Personally-Identifiable Information
We may use Personally-identifiable information in the following ways: we may store and process that
information to better understand your needs and how we can improve our products and services, we may use
that information to contact you about billing issues, technical issues, or as a follow up to your request
to receive more information from us about products and services available through this Service, and we may
use that information to ensure the protection of our rights. Financial information that is collected is
used to check a user's qualifications for registration and to ensure proper payment for products and services.
When you provide us with Personally-identifiable information or authorize our access to it, such
information will be gathered solely by this Service for use by us. In addition, companies who provide
support services on our behalf, such as banking services, electronic payment services, email delivery
services, age verification services, and other professional services may have limited access to your
Personally-identifiable information in order to provide their services. These service providers do not
use this information for other purposes beyond providing the service. We do not share, sell, rent, or
trade your Personally-identifiable information with any third parties for their promotional purposes.
We may utilize electronic newsletters to reach all or a subset of all Subscribers, using the
email address provided. When users opt-in to receive email notifications sent on behalf of Video Hosts,
we do not, and will not, provide Video Hosts with access to such user information (in other words,
we NEVER disclose user email addresses or other Personally-identifiable information to Video
Hosts).
Users may opt-out of such mailing lists at any time by following
the instructions found here or by
following the instructions that will be sent as part of any such mailings.
We will not disclose your Personally-identifiable
information unless it is necessary to do so to comply with applicable laws or valid legal
process (including without limitation search warrants, court orders, or
providing assistance to law-enforcement authorities), or if the disclosure to
a financial institution assists us in processing payments or in proving the legitimacy of a charge. You expressly authorize us to disclose your Personally-identifiable information to third parties to ensure the protection of our rights or property. In your capacity as both the sender and the recipient of electronic communications on or through our Services, you expressly agree and authorize us to access your Personally-identifiable information and to disclose your Personally-identifiable information to government agencies pursuant to valid legal procedures; this authorization relates to the Personally-identifiable information that you distribute on or through our Services as well as to the Personally-identifiable information that you store on our Services.

Non-Personally-Identifiable Information Collected Automatically
In some cases, information that is not personally-identifiable may be automatically collected about you
through server log files or cookies (examples of this type of information
include without limitation your IP address, the type of internet browser you are using, the type
of computer operating system you are using, and the domain name of the website
from which you linked to our Service). For our Subscribers, at the time of registration, and only at the
time of registration, we link this information to your account information, such as your email address;
however, for non-registered users, we never link this information to any Personally-identifiable information.
To learn how to prevent us from using
cookies during your visit to this Service and how to erase cookies from
your hard drive, see the Guide to Managing Cookies.

When You Share Your Information
When you share your Personally-identifiable information with other users, you take a risk that they may use it in ways outside the scope of this Privacy Policy. Please exercise caution if you choose to disclose any of your Personally-identifiable information to other users in chat rooms, forums, or message boards, or in private communications.

Security
The security of your personal information is important to us.
When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number) on our
registration or order forms, we encrypt that information
using secure socket layer technology (SSL).
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information, including your email
address, submitted to us, both
during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the internet, or method of
electronic storage, is 100% secure, however.
Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot
guarantee its absolute security.
If you have any questions about security on our website, you can contact us through the Pleasure Orgy Contact Form.

Minors
Because we are an e-commerce-driven web-conferencing
platform, our Service is directed to adults who possess validated
credit-card information, and is never marketed to individuals under the age of
18. Our tens of thousands of registered
"Video Hosts" host chatrooms
under a potentially infinite number of different categories, ranging from
how/to instruction to adult-oriented topics.
Certain portions of this Service, which may contain content
considered offensive to some, are inaccessible to
individuals under the age of 18 via a standard "credit card wall," as
advocated by the Communications Decency Act. For those portions which may be
accessible to individuals under the age of 18, we have no intention of
collecting any Personally-identifiable information from individuals under eighteen years of
age. Where appropriate, we will specifically instruct minors
not to submit such information on our websites or advertisements. If a minor
has provided us with Personally-identifiable information, a parent or guardian
of that minor should contact us via the contact form provided at
the bottom of this Policy and we will use reasonable efforts to remove this information from
our existing files.

Changes to Privacy Policy
If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes to this Policy and other places we
deem appropriate so that you are
aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please review it frequently.
If we make material changes to this Policy or in how we use Personally-identifiable information such as your
email address,
we will notify you here, by email,
or by means of a notice on our home page.

This service is certified for adhering to strong privacy practices. Every major internet service must treat the confidential information of its users with the utmost respect and privacy.

Explorer/MSN and America Online. This service is also blocked by all major independent filtering software services, such as NetNanny and CyberSitter, and works proactively with such services to ensure inaccessibility by minors.
