Marketing Practices

Updated: 7 September 2026

This policy governs promotional communication associated with Cecilia Prize. Marketing must be truthful, identifiable and respectful of a recipient’s choices. The website’s relationship content is intended for adults aged 18 and over.

Specific permission and clear purposes

Visiting an article, reading a policy or sending an enquiry does not provide blanket consent to advertising. Where consent is required, the request must identify the sender, purpose and communication channel. It must use a deliberate choice and must not conceal permission for unrelated organizations to contact the person.

Optional promotional consent should be separate from a request for information. Addresses obtained by scraping, purchasing an unexplained list or copying someone else’s correspondence must not be treated as permission to send marketing.

Accurate messages

Promotional material must identify its commercial character and sender without misleading subject lines, fabricated urgency or invented personal messages. Claims about access, price, verification or relationship outcomes require support. Messages must not imply that an individual is waiting to meet a reader unless that statement is real and properly authorized.

Marketing must not promise guaranteed marriage, income or special treatment in return for gifts. Sponsorship and referral connections follow the Advertiser Disclosure and Affiliate Disclosure.

Opting out

Where promotional messages are sent, they must include a clear, effective way to stop the relevant communication. An opt-out should be recorded and respected under the requirements that apply. A minimal suppression record may be needed to avoid adding someone back to a promotional list.

An opt-out must not be overridden by a general clause claiming permission despite a do-not-contact restriction. A response to a specific enquiry and an unrelated promotion have different purposes; the former is not a reason to restart the latter.

Data and questions

Personal information must not be distributed to unrelated marketers on the assumption that interest in international dating authorizes such sharing. The Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and E-Consent explain the relevant distinctions.
