From time to time PozVille PozQueers may modify this Privacy Policy to reflect industry initiatives or changes in the law, our Personal Information or Related Data collection and use practices, the features of the PozVille PozQueers Services, or technology, and such modifications shall be effective upon posting by PozVille PozQueers on the PozVille PozQueers Website. Your continued use of the PozVille PozQueers Services after PozVille PozQueers posts a revised Privacy Policy signifies your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. It is therefore important that you review this Privacy Policy regularly to ensure you are updated as to any changes. If PozVille PozQueers materially changes its practices regarding collection or use of your Personal Information or Related Data, your Personal Information and Related Data will continue to be governed by the Privacy Policy under which it was collected unless you have been provided notice of, and have not objected to, the change.
COLLECTION AND SUBMISSION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION AND NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION ON POZVILLE POZQUEERS
General. PozVille PozQueers collects your email address, first name, country, gender, and date of birth from you in order to register you as a Member (“Registration Data”). PozVille PozQueers cannot register you as a Member without this information. All other information you provide during the PozVille PozQueers registration or that you post on the PozVille PozQueers website is voluntary. PozVille PozQueers may also collect Personal Information from you if you choose to participate in PozVille PozQueers Services activities like sweepstakes, contests, and surveys, because you want us to furnish you with products, services, newsletters, or information, or in connection with content or suggestions you submit to PozVille PozQueers for review.
In addition, PozVille PozQueers collects other Related Data and non-Personal Information including IP address, aggregate user data, and browser type. This data is used to manage and improve the PozVille PozQueers Services, track usage, and for security purposes.
PozVille PozQueers Members may also choose to provide or store non-Personal Information information and Related Data in their profiles, including but not limited to date of birth, interests, hobbies, lifestyle choices, groups with whom they are affiliated (schools, companies), videos and/or pictures, private messages, bulletins or personal statements (collectively “Profile Information”). The Profile Information in a Member’s profile is provided at his or her sole discretion. Please be aware that your Profile Information, as well as any information posted to any public forum, can be accessed by anyone who joins this site. Profile Information located on private profiles can be accessed by PozVille PozQueers at all times and, in limited cases, by certain third parties authorized by PozVille PozQueers for purposes of ensuring compliance with PozVille PozQueers’s Terms of Use.
PozVille PozQueers Members can change their Registration Data and Profile Information at any time and can control how Visitors, other Members and PozVille PozQueers communicate with them by controlling their account settings, available within the “Settings” portion of their PozVille PozQueers profile.
PozVille PozQueers determines the purposes of collection, use and disclosure of the Registration Data you provide and, as such, is considered the data controller of this information. Because the Member, not PozVille PozQueers, determines the purposes for which Profile Information is collected, used and disclosed, PozVille PozQueers is not the data controller of Profile Information that Members provide on their profile.
Cookies. Cookies are small bits of information that PozVille PozQueers places on your computer. PozVille PozQueers uses cookies to identify your Internet browser, store Users’ preferences, and determine whether you have installed the enabling software needed to access certain material on the PozVille PozQueers Services. Data in cookies may be read to authenticate user sessions or provide services.
You can program your computer to warn you each time a cookie is being sent, block third party cookies or block all cookies. However, by blocking all cookies you may not have access to certain features on the PozVille PozQueers Services.
NOTICE: POZVILLE POZQUEERS WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH NOTICE ABOUT ITS PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTION PRACTICES
When you voluntarily provide Personal Information to PozVille PozQueers, we will make sure you are informed about who is collecting the information, how and why the information is being collected and the types of uses PozVille PozQueers will make of the information to the extent it is being used in a manner that differs from what is allowed pursuant to this Privacy Policy.
At the time you provide your Personal Information, PozVille PozQueers will notify you of your options regarding our use of your Personal Information (See “Choice” below). Except as described in this Privacy Policy, PozVille PozQueers will not share your Personal Information with third parties (excluding those set out in this Privacy Policy) unless you have given PozVille PozQueers permission to do so (See “Use” below).
PozVille PozQueers Services may be linked to Internet sites operated by other companies. PozVille PozQueers Services may also carry advertisements from other companies. PozVille PozQueers may transfer Related Data such as IP addresses to certain advertising partners located in your country of residence or abroad. PozVille PozQueers is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites or other services operated by third parties that are linked to or integrated with the PozVille PozQueers Services or for the privacy practices of third party Internet advertising companies. Once you leave PozVille PozQueers Services via such a link, access a third party application (such as widgets) or click on an advertisement, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the third party or advertiser site to determine, among other things, how they will handle any Personal Information they collect from you.
PozVille PozQueers may use cookies and similar tools to customize the content and advertising you receive based on the Profile Information you have provided. Profile Information you provide in structured profile fields or questions (multiple choice questions like “Marital Status,” “Education” and “Children”) (“Structured Profile Information”), information you add to open-ended profile fields and questions (essay questions like “About Me,” “Interests” and “Movies”) (“Non-Structured Profile Information”) and other non-Personal Information and Related Data about you may also be used to customize the online ads you encounter to those we believe are aligned with your interests. For example, based on your music interests we might display an advertisement to make sure you are advised when your favorite band is coming to town. The information used for this feature does not provide your Personal Information or identify you as an individual to third parties, but will involve the processing of certain Related Data such as IP addresses. If you would like to disable this advertising customization for Non-Structured Profile Information, please log in and click here.
Third party applications (such as widgets) created by third party developers may also be available on the PozVille PozQueers Services. Third party applications are small bits of software, often with interactivity, that can be installed into Members’ profiles or shared with other Users. However, PozVille PozQueers does not control the third party developers, and cannot dictate their actions. When a Member engages with a third party application, that Member is interacting with the third party developer, not with PozVille PozQueers. PozVille PozQueers encourages Members not to provide Personal Information to the third party’s application unless the Member knows the party with whom it is interacting.
CHOICE: POZVILLE POZQUEERS WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH CHOICES ABOUT THE USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Except as described in this Privacy Policy, PozVille PozQueers will get your permission before we use the Personal Information you provide to us in a way that is inconsistent with the purpose for which it was submitted or share your Personal Information with third parties that are not affiliated with PozVille PozQueers.
USE: POZVILLE POZQUEERS'S USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
PozVille PozQueers will only use the Personal Information you provide under this Privacy Policy in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If PozVille PozQueers obtains Personal Information from a third party, such as a business partner, our use of that information is also governed by this Privacy Policy.
In order to locate other PozVille PozQueers Members that you may already know in the physical world, PozVille PozQueers allows Users to search for Members using Registration Data (i.e., first name or email address). PozVille PozQueers also allows Users to browse for certain Profile Information in order to help connect with Members. PozVille PozQueers may also enable Members to publicly display some Registration Data as an element of their Profile Information if they choose to do so via a profile setting under “Edit Profile.” Search engines may index the portion of a Member’s profile (including the Profile Information it contains) that is publicly displayed.
If you have consented to receive promotional materials (e.g., newsletters) or notifications from PozVille PozQueers, PozVille PozQueers may periodically use your email address to send you such materials related to the PozVille PozQueers Services, as applicable. If you want to stop receiving such materials from PozVille PozQueers, you can change your profile settings under “Account Settings,” or follow the unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.
There may be instances when PozVille PozQueers may access or disclose Personal Information, Related Data, Profile Information or non-Personal Information without providing you a choice in order to: (i) protect or defend the legal rights or property of PozVille PozQueers, our Affiliated Companies or their employees, agents and contractors (including enforcement of our agreements); (ii) protect the safety and security of Users of the PozVille PozQueers Services or members of the public including acting in urgent circumstances; (iii) protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; or (iv) comply with the law or legal process. In addition, if PozVille PozQueers sells all or part of its business or makes a sale or transfer of all or a material part of its assets or is otherwise involved in a merger or transfer of all or a material part of its business, PozVille PozQueers may transfer your Personal Information to the party or parties involved in the transaction as part of that transaction.
When a Member chooses to post Profile Information that will be publicly disclosed, that Member is responsible for ensuring that such information conforms to all local data protection laws. PozVille PozQueers is not responsible under any data protection laws for Member posted information.
