Policies & Legal - Privacy Policy

LAST UPDATED: May 1, 2011

This Datevitation privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy") is intended to inform you of our policies and practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of any information you submit to us through Datevitation. This includes "Personal Information," which is information about you that is personally identifiable such as your name, e-mail address, user ID number, and other non-public information that is associated with the foregoing, as well as "Anonymous Information," which is information that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Information and does not permit the identification of individual persons.

By accessing or otherwise using Datevitation, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into and forms a part of the Datevitation Terms of Use. You expressly consent to the processing of your Personal Information and Anonymous Information according to this Privacy Policy.

Regarding Children

Children under the age of 13 are not permitted to use Datevitation and we do not intentionally collect or maintain Personal Information from those who are under 13 years old. Protecting the privacy of children is very important to us. Thus, if we obtain actual knowledge that a user is under 13, we will take steps to remove that user's Personal Information permanently from our databases. We recommend that children between the ages of 13 and 18 obtain their parent’s permission before submitting information over the internet. By using Datevitation, you are representing that you are at least 18 years old, or that you are at least 13 years old and have a parent’s or guardian’s permission to use Datevitation. As noted in Paragraph 1 of our Terms of Use, there are certain portions of the website that you may only access if you are 18 or older and are legally permitted in your jurisdiction by virtue of your age to access, view, use, modify or otherwise interact with the Service. By accessing, viewing, using, modifying or otherwise interacting with these sections of the website, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older, and are legally permitted in your jurisdiction by virtue of your age to access, view, use, modify or otherwise interact with the Service (see Paragraph 1 of our Terms of Use).

Collection of Information

Personal Information That You Provide

In general, we collect Personal Information that you submit to us voluntarily through Datevitation. We also collect information that you submit in the process of creating or editing your account and user profile on Datevitation. For example, our registration and login process requires you to provide us with your name, valid email address and password of your choice. When you personalize your profile and use the features of Datevitation, we will collect any information you voluntarily provide, and we may also request optional information to support your use of Datevitation, such as your year of birth, gender and other demographic information. We may collect information in the form of the content that you submit during your use of Datevitation, such as photos, text, feedback and other information you choose to submit. We may also collect information about you and your friends who use Datevitation, from any social network you may have connected from, in order to provide you with a more personalized experience. For instance, we may collect your user ID or profile information that you have permitted to be displayed through Datevitation in order to display you as a friend or in association with your profile and collections. When you make a purchase on Datevitation, you will need to submit your credit card or other payment information so that our service providers can process your payment. When you sign up for, or win, any contests, sweepstakes, or other activities that we make available on Datevitation, we will collect the information designated along with such activity, which may include your contact information such as your address and phone number. If you choose to sign up to receive information about products or services that may be of interest to you, we will collect your email address and other related information. Additionally, we collect any information that you voluntarily enter, including Personal Information, into any postings, comments, or forums within the Datevitation community.

Personal Information From Other Sources

We may receive Personal Information about you from other sources with which you have registered, companies who we have partnered with (collectively, "Partners") or other third parties. We may associate this information with the other Personal Information we have collected about you.

E-Mail And E-Mail Addresses

If you send an e-mail to us, or provide feedback to us through our feedback forum, we will collect your e-mail address and the full content of your e-mail, including attached files, and other information you provide. We may use and display your full name and email address when you send an email notification to a friend through Datevitation or the social network from which you have connected to Datevitation (such as in an invitation, or when sharing your content). Additionally, we use your email address to contact you on behalf of your friends (such as when someone sends you a personal message) or notifications from a social network or other website with whom you have registered to receive such notifications. We may use this e-mail address to contact you, for things such as notifications of sales and other related information. You may indicate your preference to stop receiving further promotional communications as further detailed below.

Information Collected Via Technology

As you use Datevitation, certain information may also be passively collected and stored on our or our service providers’ server logs, including your Internet protocol address, browser type, and operating system. We also use Cookies and navigational data like Uniform Resource Locators (URL) to gather information regarding the date and time of your visit and the solutions and information for which you searched and viewed, or on which of the advertisements displayed on Datevitation you clicked. This type of information is collected to make Datevitation and solutions more useful to you and to tailor the experience with Datevitation to meet your special interests and needs.

An "Internet protocol address" or "IP Address" is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. In some cases your IP Address stays the same from browser session to browser session; but if you use a consumer internet access provider, your IP Address probably varies from session to session. For example, we, or our service providers, may track your IP Address when you access Datevitation to assist with ad targeting.

"Cookies" are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing a website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience with Datevitation. Persistent Cookies can be removed by following your Internet browser help file directions. In order to use our services offered through Datevitation, your web browser must accept Cookies. If you choose to disable Cookies, some aspects of Datevitation may not work properly, and you may not be able to receive our services.

We may also enable advertisers and ad servers to promote third-party products and/or services by placing advertisements on Datevitation. These advertisers and ad servers may use Cookies and/or "Web Beacons" (which are usually small, transparent graphic images) in order to monitor information related to served advertisements. Clicking on such advertisements will direct you to the website of a third-party and the advertiser. This Privacy Policy does not cover the privacy practices of any advertisers or ad servers.

Use and Disclosure of Information

Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share for marketing purposes the Personal Information that we collect with third parties, unless you ask or authorize us to do so.

In general, Personal Information you submit to us is used by us to provide you access to Datevitation, to improve Datevitation, to better tailor the features, performance, and support of Datevitation and to offer you additional information, opportunities, promotions and functionality from us, our partners or our advertisers at your request. Additionally, we do share your content preferences and other information with the social network with which you have connected to Datevitation, along with those companies and persons you have asked us to share your information with.

We may provide your Personal Information to third-party service providers who work on behalf of or with us to provide some of the services and features of Datevitation and to help us communicate with you. Examples of such services include sending email, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, printing services, processing payments (including credit card payments), and providing customer service. We may also partner with merchants to offer you deals on the activities featured in the datevitation illustrations on our website. In such instances, we may share some or all of your Personal Information (other than credit card information) with merchants whose deals you have purchased for their commercial purposes and to provision the deal. We encourage our third-party service providers and merchants to adopt and post privacy policies. However, the use of your Personal Information by such parties is governed by the privacy policies of such parties and is not subject to our control. If you do not want us to use or disclose Personal Information collected about you in the manner identified in this Privacy Policy, you may not use Datevitation.

Additionally, we may create Anonymous Information records from Personal Information by excluding information (such as your name) that would otherwise make the Anonymous Information personally identifiable to you. Generally, we aggregate this information and use it in statistical analysis to help us analyze patterns in the use of Datevitation. This Privacy Policy does not limit our use or disclosure of any Anonymous Information in any way, and we reserve the right to use and disclose Anonymous Information to our partners, advertisers and other third parties in our discretion.

We may share some or all of your Personal Information with Datevitation affiliated companies that are under a common control, in which case we will require them to honor this Privacy Policy.

In the event we go through a business transition such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your Personal Information may be among the assets transferred. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and are permitted by this Privacy Policy, and that any acquirer of ours or that acquirer’s assets may continue to process your Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

We may disclose your Personal Information if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to (a) comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas or warrants served on us; or (b) to protect and defend our rights or property, you, or third parties. You hereby consent to us sharing your Personal Information under the circumstances described herein.

The Ability Of Others To View Your Information

Helping you to protect your information is a vital part of our mission. It is up to you to make sure you are comfortable with the information you choose to provide us and the information you choose to publish. You understand that when you use Datevitation, certain information you post or provide through Datevitation, such as your name, profile, comments, collections and reviews, may be shared with other users and posted on publicly available portions of Datevitation, including without limitation, social media applications and other public fora in which you choose to participate. Please keep in mind that if you choose to disclose Personal Information when posting comments or other information or content through Datevitation, this information may become publicly available and may be collected and used by others, including people outside the Datevitation community. We will not have any obligations with respect to any information that you post to parts of Datevitation available to others, and recommend that you use caution when giving out personal information to others through social media networks or otherwise.

This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by us through Datevitation and does not apply to these third-party websites. The ability to access information of third-parties from Datevitation, or links to other websites or locations, is for your convenience and does not signify our endorsement of such third-parties, their products, their services, other websites, locations or their content.
