Meeting The One: Our responsibilities and obligations to our users
In regards to the privacy of the sites users, we confirm that we are fully compliant with the provisions and regulations of the Data Protection Act.
We agree to provide a live website with continuous uptime. If there is a technical problem with the site we will resolve it as quickly and efficiently as possible. If a site problem affects paid subscribers for any considerable length of time, then compensation of subscription payments will be offered.
We have no obligation to monitor messages sent via the site, but reserve the right to occasionally do so, as the safety of our users is important to us. Should any report of abuse be made then the relevant messages will be scrutinised, and the sender of the reported messages will be warned or indeed banned from the site if the allegation is upheld.
We will not use your profile or profile photo for any promotional purposes unless you agree. At times we send emails to other members featuring selected profiles of those members we think might have similar interests/outlook, which are intended to assist in your search for a partner. When you create your profile you will be offered the option of being excluded from these emails. We will never make your personal contact details available to another company without your express permission. The personal information we gather about you will be solely for the purposes of matching your interests and lifestyle with those of other members, and for sending you emails about events which may be of interest to you.
Our events are aimed at increasing the possibility of our members meeting a suitable partner, in a relaxed, fun and safe environment. However, we are not a match making service, and therefore cannot be held responsible for the behaviour or veracity of other members that you meet on or off the site.
You may contact us regarding any matters to do with the site, or your use of it, via the contact us page, or at info@meetingtheone.co.uk

Safety and Precautions
MTO is not responsible for making any criminal checks on our users, and therefore cannot speak for their veracity. While we hope that all our users are honest and responsible, there are risks associated with both on and offline dating. We would urge you to read our safety page before you begin messaging and meeting other members either privately, or at our hosted events. You are solely responsible for taking the necessary precautions to keep yourself as safe as possible, and we aim to give you as much information and advice about those issues as we can.
