Privacy Policy

Information about personal data, advertising, cookies and your choices when you visit Fireplace Dating.

2. What this website offers

Fireplace Dating is an informational website featuring reflections on romance and relationships. The former dating service has been discontinued. The current website does not offer member accounts, dating profiles, or matchmaking.

3. Hosting and technical access data

This website is hosted using Bluehost. To deliver pages and protect the website, hosting infrastructure may process technical access data, such as IP addresses, the time and date of a request, the requested URL, browser and device information, and error or security logs. Such processing is generally necessary for operating a secure and functioning website and may be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, subject to the details of the actual hosting arrangement.

The particular Bluehost contracting entity, data-center location, access-log retention periods, use of any content delivery networks and any international transfer safeguards depend on the hosting configuration and should be confirmed with the provider. We do not state a specific log retention period without verification.

4. Google AdSense and advertising

We use Google AdSense (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, for relevant services in the European Economic Area) to display advertising. Google and other participating advertising technology partners may process information such as IP addresses, browser and device identifiers, interactions with advertisements, and data derived from cookies or similar technologies to serve, measure and, where you consent, personalize advertising.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on visits to this or other websites. Google advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to display advertising based on users’ visits across websites. Additional advertising technology partners may participate as disclosed in our consent message. Depending on the service and configuration, data may be transferred outside the EEA, including to the United States, subject to applicable safeguards.

Learn more at Google's Privacy Policy, Google advertising technologies and Google Ad Settings. Further information on advertising partner choices is available at Your Online Choices.

5. Cookies and consent choices

We use Google's certified consent management platform, available through Privacy & messaging, to ask visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland about applicable advertising and storage purposes. You can consent, decline, or review individual options. Where the law requires consent for advertising storage or personalized advertising, the relevant legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR together with applicable national rules on access to information stored on devices. Some necessary website operations and other processing may rely on other applicable legal bases.

You may withdraw or change your advertising and cookie consent at any time using the following button. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing performed before withdrawal.

The full list of advertising partners and their purposes is available within the consent message under “Manage options”. Your browser settings may also allow you to delete or block cookies. Blocking certain storage methods may affect how advertisements are displayed.

6. Contact by email

When you email us, we process your message, contact information and any personal data you include to answer your inquiry. Depending on the context, this may be based on our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or pre-contractual steps (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). We retain correspondence only for as long as necessary or as required by applicable law. Email is handled through the configured mail service; specific provider and retention settings should be reviewed.

7. Your GDPR rights

Where the GDPR applies, you may have the right to access your data, correct inaccurate data, request erasure, restrict or object to certain processing, receive applicable data in a portable form, and withdraw consent at any time. You can also lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority. To make a request, contact us at support@bid77.com.
