About DebateOurFuture and the Information We Collect
DebateOurFuture is an internet social networking service. When you
register for DebateOurFuture, you provide us with certain "Personal
Information", such as your name, your email address, your
address, and other personal or preference information. As part of the registration process, each DebateOurFuture
Member profile is created, through which your Member Information will
be disclosed to the other Members. The amount of information that is
disclosed will depend on the relationship between the other Members and
yourself. You should be aware that Member Information can be read, collected, or
used by Members to whom it is disclosed, and could be used improperly.
DebateOurFuture makes every effort to protect your identity
by not providing personal contact information on Member
profiles. Do not disclose personal identity information to other
members of DebateOurFuture. DebateOurFuture is not responsible for the
personally identifiable information you choose to disclose or for the misuse by
other members
of such information. Any misuse or improper collection of Member Information
provided is a violation of the DebateOurFuture Terms of Service and should
be reported to safety.
Each time you visit DebateOurFuture, we automatically collect your IP
address and the web page from which you came. We also use cookies to keep track
of your activities on the Web Site and enhance your experience on the Web Site.
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 stores your login ID (but not your password) to make it easier for
you to login when you come back to DebateOurFuture. Offsite Third party advertisers
may also place or read cookies on your browser. You can remove or
block this cookie using the settings in your browser although in that case you
may not be able to use certain features on our site and you may be required to
re-enter your password more frequently during a session.
The Age And Identity Verification system is provided
by a third party and the fee's associated with providing the Age
and ID Verification system are included in the cost of
membership. The "Value Added Proposition" of the Age and
ID Verification system is justified by the" Value Of Trusted
Membership". Age and ID is re-verified periodically throughout your
subscription period to maintain the "Trust Value". No information is collected by
DebateOurFuture from
this verification process. Because DebateOurFuture retains your true identity,
members are accountable for all actions and behavior (see "safety")
associated with their account. For this reason, we strongly
recommend that you do not share your account with others. DebateOurFuture is not advertising supported.
Age And ID Verification Benefits Both
DebateOurFuture And Our Members by preventing access to minors,
demonstrating our due diligence, reducing incidences of unauthorized and
fraudulent access, and by providing end user privacy protection. Sensitive
information is
cloaked and not accessible to DebateOurFuture and the third
party service provider. The only information returned from the
process is "yes" or "no".

Compliance Issues;
SSN Act Compliant,
Customer Privacy Act Compliant
DPPA Compliant,
FCRA Compliant,
Graham Leach-Bliley Act
Compliant
