PHILADELPHIASTATUS.COM PRIVACY POLICY

WHAT IS A PRIVACY POLICY?

PhiladelphiaStatus.com is devoted to respecting your privacy and your need to protect any identifiable information that you share with us on this website. As you may know, when you visit sites on the internet, the owner of the site has the ability to collect information about you, from your name and address and any other information provided by you. It is our promise to adhere to the principles set forth in this Privacy Policy and comply with all applicable laws that are designed to protect your privacy.

WHEN DO WE UPDATE OUR POLICIES?

At our discretion, PhiladelphiaStatus.com may update this Privacy Policy without notice. Upon doing so, such updates will be posted on this page. As such, we strongly recommend that you consult this page frequently so that you are abreast of any changes to our policies.

WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION?

“Personal Information” means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address and an email address or other contact information, whether at work or at home. In general, you can visit our web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself. If you choose to provide us with your Personal Information on this website, we may transfer that information within PhiladelphiaStatus.com or to PhiladelphiaStatus.com’s third-party service providers.

WHAT WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE?

PhiladelphiaStatus.com is able to collect Personal Information from when you use this website. This can be done only when you voluntarily submit such information on our site. For example, when you register your name and e-mail address for an upcoming event, when you subscribe to an email newsletter, when you add comments to a section on our website and when you register for contests and other promotional opportunities provided by PhiladelphiaStatus.com, you are supplying us with your Personal Information. We use such information to display information that we think may be of interest to you, to personalize your online experience and to improve the quality of the information that we provide to you on the site. From time to time we may share such information with our business partners, who might also wish to share information regarding upcoming events or services to you. Whenever we request that you provide us Personal Information, we will give you the opportunity to “opt out” of receiving future communications from us or others. By providing such Personal Information to PhiladelphiaStatus.com, you agree that, unless you expressly opt out of receiving such information, we may use your Personal Information to fulfill the activity you signed up for, such upcoming events, subscribing to an email newsletter, adding comments to a section on our website and registering for contests and other promotional opportunities provided by PhiladelphiaStatus.com, and contacting you with updates regarding the site. Whether or not you provide such information is completely your own choice. You are not obligated to answer any question that is presented to you. Please note that if you choose not to provide the Personal Information we request, you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services that involve our interaction with you. PhiladelphiaStatus.com does not intend to transfer Personal Information without your consent. PhiladelphiaStatus.com may also disclose your Personal Information when required by law or court order.

If you have provided Personal Information but later you object to the use that is being made of that information (for example, you no longer wish to receive promotional or marketing information about upcoming events from PhiladelphiaStatus.com or any third parties) you can ask that we stop making use of that information. You can do this by clicking the “UNSUBSCRIBE” prong on our site.

HOW DO WE PROTECT CHILDREN?

We take special care to protect the safety and privacy of children. Our site is a general audience site. Nevertheless, we do recommend usage on this site for anyone under eighteen years of age.  The events that are advertised on PhiladelphiaStatus.com are geared towards a mature, adult audience and many will have alcohol and are intended for those who are 21 and over only.  We urge parents and guardians to participate in your children’s online activities and use parental control or other internet filtering technology to supervise your children’s access to the internet and will not be held responsible for individuals who peruse this site and attend an event when said individual is under the required age for the event in question.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Our site uses “cookies” and other tracking technologies. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from an internet server and stored in your computer. Generally, we use cookies to remind us of who you are, tailor our products and services to suit your personal interests, estimate our audience size, allow us to better understand how users use the site, to track your status in our promotions, contests and sweepstakes, and/or to analyze your visiting patterns. You can set your browser to notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it or to block cookies.

Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host names; Internet protocol addresses; browser software and operating system types; clickstream patterns; and dates and times that our site is accessed. These tracking technologies allow us to improve our web site and your web site experience. We may also use these tracking technologies to analyze information that does not contain Personal Information for trends and statistics.

HOW SECURE IS THE INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDE?

We understand the utmost importance of protecting the security of your Personal Information that you share with us. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our site, and you do so at your own risk.

CAN THIRD PARTIES ACCESS MY PERSONAL INFORMATION?
