This Website provides the ability for site members to contact one another.  It does so using a system which allows members to make first contact without emails being publicly displayed on the site.  Website members who send a message to another member reveal the email address they have configured in their Member Profile to the receiver upon sending the message.  Website members who receive a message sent via the site will reveal the email address that they reply from upon replying to the message.  When using the system to send or receive messages you have the sole discretion as to whom you disclose your email address to.

5. When You Use the Website to Send Messages or Respond to Messages Sent Via the Website

The Website uses a first contact email system to help members connect with each other. When a member wishes to contact another member they do so by typing their message into a page on the website.  The page does not reveal the email address of the receiver.  When the sender elects to send a message to a receiver, they are knowingly revealing their email address to the receiver at that time. The message is sent via standard Internet mail to the receiver.  If the receiver replies  to the message an internet email message is sent from their computer to the original sender - which reveals the original receiver's email to the original sender.  When using the first contact email system, you control when to disclose your e-mail address by the action of sending a message or by replying to a message sent via the system. Quantum Shuffle respects the privacy of members communications sent through the first contact email system and does not read or disclose those communications unless we believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Quantum Shuffle Terms of Service, or as otherwise required by law enforcement.
