Escorts4U takes reasonable steps to protect your Personal Information from misuse, interference and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

To facilitate transaction investigation and to assist with the identification of suspicious or fraudulent transactions, the Personal Information and transaction details may be sent to countries other than Australia which participate in the Payments System. By using the Services, you agree that the Personal Information and transaction details may be sent overseas. In that regard, Escorts4U is likely to disclose Personal Information to overseas recipients. Those overseas recipients are likely to be located in Europe or the United States of America.

With the Google +1 interface (Google +1), you can publish information worldwide. This Website does not support Google +1, unless you have created a world-wide public Google profile, which must contain at least the chosen name for the Google +1 profile (Google Profile). Your Google Profile is used in all Google services. In some instances, your Google Profile can also be substituted for a different name that you used when sharing content with your Google account. The identity of your Google Profile may be shown to users who know your e-mail address, or have any other identifying information from you.

Third party/External websites

It is your responsibility to make yourself aware that other websites and other internet users may collect information, such as your e-mail address, that is published on the Website. This is due to the natural interconnectedness of the internet. Our data protection policies only apply to this Website and do not apply to external websites nor do they apply to the external activities of Users and the consequences arising from their internet activities. Escorts4U is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of websites that are linked to our Website.

Escorts4U offers Users the possibility to interact with each other and to post a Profile under a cipher as an added security measure. This considerably hinders third parties from collecting Users personal data. Escorts4U also uses JavaScript to encode your email address (where submitted as a contact email pursuant to any registration on the Website) to prevent the scanning of the Users email address through external software. However, email addresses that are published openly in a Profile are not covered by this security feature.
