PRIVACY POLICY
At Love with Me, we know that looking for love means sharing personal things about yourself. We take that trust seriously. This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and how you can access or correct it.
We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" means Love with Me Pty Ltd, and "you" means anyone whose personal information we collect.
1. What personal information we collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
-
Contact details: your name, email address, mobile number and suburb.

Booking and enquiry details: appointments you book, and messages you send us.

Event information: your registration and attendance at our events

2. Sensitive information
Some information you share with us may be "sensitive information" under the Privacy Act, such as your sexual orientation, religious beliefs, cultural background or health information.
We only collect sensitive information with your consent, and only when it is relevant to finding you a compatible match. We will not share your sensitive information with anyone without your consent, unless the law requires it.

Sharing your details with potential matches
Introductions are at the heart of what we do, so we want to be clear about this. We will only share your details with a potential match with your permission. When we introduce you, we share [e.g. your first name, a photo and a short summary of who you are]. We never share your contact details, such as your phone number or email address, until you agree to it.
5. Emails and marketing
If you download our dating guide or subscribe to our emails, we will send you the guide and occasional dating tips, updates and offers. We send these emails in line with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth).
Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. We do not sell your personal information to anyone.
6. Who we share your information with
We share personal information only as needed to run our business, with:
-
Potential matches, with your permission, as described in section 4.
-
Service providers who help us operate, such as our customer relationship management and email platform (GoHighLevel), our email delivery provider, our website host (Wix), our email and document tools (Google Workspace) and our marketing and technology consultant (Digital Dish).
-
Legal or regulatory authorities, where the law requires it.
Our service providers may only use your information to provide their services to us.
7. Overseas disclosure
Some of our service providers store or process information outside Australia, including in the United States. Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to make sure those providers handle your information in a way that is consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles.
8. How we store and protect your information
We store your information securely in our systems and take reasonable steps to protect it from misuse, loss, and unauthorised access, change or disclosure. However, no data transmission over the internet is completely secure.
We keep your information only for as long as we need it for the purposes in this policy, or as required by law. We delete or de-identify matchmaking profiles within three months of you ending your membership. You can ask us to delete your information at any time.
9. Cookies and analytics
Our website may use cookies and analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site and to improve our marketing. You can turn off cookies in your browser settings, although some features may not work as intended.
10. Automated decisions
We do not use computer programs to make decisions about you that significantly affect you without a person being involved. Every match is personally considered by Love with Me.

You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct it, at any time. Contact us using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable time, usually within 30 days.
