What information does asian-hearts.com collect if I decide to join the

Complete our online registration form, where we ask you to provide us with
information about you such as your name, your email address, your
gender, your date of birth, your location details. You also have the
opportunity to provide other details about yourself, but these are
optional. Because you control your user profile, these details are
available to you at any time by accessing your “Profile” page,
which gives you the chance to correct or update (other than gender
and email address) your information at any time by just logging in to
asian-hearts.com.
Once you have created a Profile, we will automatically track certain
information such as your IP and email addresses.
For safety and security and to ensure you have the best possible user
