Terms of Service and Privacy Policy
The whole point of FlirtingHearts, the fun of it, is that it's anonymous and confidential. Your identity only gets revealed when you match with someone.
We will never reveal who you send messages to, or who you receive messages from. (Unless you match -- which means you have both sent FlirtingHearts.com messages to each other.)
If you match with someone through FlirtingHearts.com, only the two of you will be notified.
