What we're doing to protect you...

At Love Sail we consider the privacy of our users of the utmost importance. We ask only for the minimum personal information required for you to build a credible site profile. Your real name, postal address and email address are not revealed to other Love Sail members and they are not passed on to any third parties. Love Sail is registered under the Data Protection Act 1998. Registration No. Z9884940.

What you should be doing...

When using the site we do ask you to take proper care of your personal information to ensure you protect yourself. This includes ensuring that your user ID and password are kept securely. Your login details are for your use only and should not be divulged to others nor stored in such a way that they can be discovered. Love Sail, Love Services, and Redpsan Solutions Ltd accept no responsibility for any loss or damage due to the misuse of members' login details.

Whilst the following guidelines refer directly to Love Sail, it wouldn't hurt to keep these guidelines in mind when using any website.
  • Contacting members
    Until you really know a user stay clear of offering (or asking) for an email address, phone number or giving out personal information (your real name / place of work).


  • Are people what the seem?
    The Internet can be a great way of meeting people, it can also be (for those who are so inclined) a means of hiding their real identity. So exercise caution in your contacts, trust your instincts - and don't reveal your contact details until and unless you are entirely comfortable in doing so.


  • Report any misuse of the site
    We take safety and security very seriously. Please report anything you think might be an inappropriate use of the site to us. You can contact us in confidence.


  • Heading out on a date?
    If you are thinking about meeting up with someone please read through the following advice to helpensure that you get the most enjoyment whilst still keeping safety a priority:

    • Initially communicate through this site.


    • Don't give out any details about yourself (especially contact details) until you feel comfortable in doing so.
    • Take your time. Don't rush into anything.


    • If you feel you're being rushed by another member then slow it down or walk away. You're under no obligation to meet anyone or reveal anything you don't want to.


    • If you feel concerned by anything walk away and let us know of anything you think is odd or unpleasant.


    • If you are suspicious of anything a person says, inconsistencies, reticence, anything at all that makes you unsure then don't continue the dialogue.


    • Ask for a photo. If the profile doesn't have one as them to add one, or ask them to send you one.


    • Before arranging to meet chat on the phone.


    • Ask friends what they think, don't be shy to ask for a second opinion.


    • Follow the guidelines in our Meeting People section below.


  • Do you have any advice for when we meet people?
    If you arrange to meet somebody through the site exercise the same caution as you would on any date. Be sensible and trust your instincts:

    • Use your judgement and be responsible.


    • Meet in a public place.


    • Tell friends where you are going. Take a mobile phone with you.


    • Do not pass on any contact information (e.g. your email address, phone number or home address) until you feel comfortable doing so.


    • If your date presses you for this information walk away. By going on a date you are under no obligations to reveal more than you choose.


    • If, for any reason, you feel uncomfortable during the date then leave.


    • Guard your drink to ensure that it is not spiked. If you're concerned, make sure you get your own drinks.


    • Treat your date with respect. If you feel you don't click it's better to let them know (even if it's a made-up excuse) rather than getting your coat and doing a runner without telling them.


    • If your date is not keen on meeting again please don't feel that you've been rejected. Different people look for different things. There are more people on the site! You may not meet the right person on your first date.
