Partybody follows two core principles:

1. You should have control over your personal information. Partybody helps you share information with your friends and people around you. You choose what information you put in your profile, including contact and personal information, pictures, interests and groups you join. And you control the users with whom you share that information through the privacy settings on the Privacy page.

2. You should have access to the information others want to share. There is an increasing amount of information available out there, and you may want to know what relates to you, your friends, and people around you. We want to help you easily get that information.

By using or accessing Partybody, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Partybody is a licensee of the TRUSTe Privacy Program. TRUSTe is an independent, non-profit organization whose mission is to build user's trust and confidence in the Internet by promoting the use of fair information practices. This privacy statement covers the site www.Partybody.com and its directly associated domains. Because this Web site wants to demonstrate its commitment to your privacy, it has agreed to disclose its information practices and have its privacy practices reviewed for compliance by TRUSTe.

If you have questions or concerns regarding this statement, you should first contact our privacy staff at privacy@partybody.com. If you do not receive acknowledgement of your inquiry or your inquiry has not been satisfactorily addressed, you should contact TRUSTe Watchdog at http://www.truste.org/consumers/watchdog_complaint.php. TRUSTe will then serve as a liaison with us to resolve your concerns.

When you register with Partybody, you provide us with certain personal information, such as your name, your email address, your telephone number, your address, your gender, schools attended and any other personal or preference information that you provide to us.

When you enter Partybody, we collect your browser type and IP address. This information is gathered for all Partybody visitors. In addition, we store certain information from your browser using "cookies." A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. We use session ID cookies to confirm that users are logged in. These cookies terminate once the user closes the browser. By default, we use a persistent cookie that stores your login ID (but not your password) to make it easier for you to login when you come back to Partybody. You can remove or block this cookie using the settings in your browser if you want to disable this convenience feature.

When you use Partybody, you may set up your personal profile, form relationships, send messages, perform searches and queries, form groups, set up events, add applications, and transmit information through various channels. We collect this information so that we can provide you the service and offer personalized features. In most cases, we retain it so that, for instance, you can return to view prior messages you have sent or easily see your friend list. When you update information, we usually keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable reversion to the prior version of that information.

You post User Content (as defined in the Partybody Terms of Use) on the Site at your own risk. Although we allow you to set privacy options that limit access to your pages, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other Users with whom you may choose to share your pages and information. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that User Content you post on the Site will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site. You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of User Content may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other Users have copied or stored your User Content.

Any improper collection or misuse of information provided on Partybody is a violation of the Partybody Terms of Service and should be reported to privacy@Partybody.com .

If you choose to use our invitation service to tell a friend about our site, we will ask you for information needed to send the invitation, such as your friend's email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email or instant message inviting him or her to visit the site. Partybody stores this information to send this one-time invitation, to register a friend connection if your invitation is accepted, and to track the success of our referral program. Your friend may contact us at info@Partybody.com to request that we remove this information from our database.

Partybody may also collect information about you from other sources, such as newspapers, blogs, instant messaging services, and other users of the Partybody service through the operation of the service (e.g., photo tags) in order to provide you with more useful information and a more personalized experience.

By using Partybody, you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States.

Profile information is used by Partybody primarily to be presented back to and edited by you when you access the service and to be presented to others permitted to view that information by your privacy settings. In some cases where your privacy settings permit it (e.g., posting to your wall), other Partybody users may be able to supplement your profile.

Profile information you submit to Partybody will be available to users of Partybody who belong to at least one of the networks you allow to access the information through your privacy settings (e.g., school, geography, friends of friends). Your name, network names, and profile picture thumbnail will be available in search results across the Partybody network and those limited pieces of information may be made available to third party search engines. This is primarily so your friends can find you and send a friend request. People who see your name in searches, however, will not be able to access your profile information unless they have a relationship to you (friend, friend of friend, member of your networks, etc.) that allows such access based on your privacy settings.

Partybody may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. For instance, if a friend sends you a new message or poke, or someone posts on your wall, you may receive an email alerting you to that fact.

Generally, you may opt out of such emails from the Notifications page, though Partybody reserves the right to send you notices about your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.

Partybody may use information in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as aggregating how many people in a network like a band or movie and personalizing advertisements and promotions so that we can provide you Partybody. We believe this benefits you. You can know more about the world around you and, where there are advertisements, they're more likely to be interesting to you. For example, if you put a favorite movie in your profile, we might serve you an advertisement highlighting a screening of a similar one in your town. But we don't tell the movie company who you are.

We may use information about you that we collect from other sources, including but not limited to newspapers and Internet sources such as blogs, instant messaging services, Partybody Platform developers and other users of Partybody, to supplement your profile. Where such information is used, we generally allow you to specify in your privacy settings that you do not want this to be done or to take other actions that limit the connection of this information to your profile (e.g., removing photo tag links).

* Your News Feed and Wall may aggregate the information you provide and make it available to your friends and network members according to your privacy settings. You may set your preferences for your News Feed and Wall on your Privacy page.

* Unlike most sites on the Web, Partybody limits access to site information by third party search engine "crawlers" (e.g. Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask). Partybody takes action to block access by these engines to personal information beyond your name, profile picture, and limited aggregated data about your profile (e.g. number of wall postings).

* We may provide information to service providers to help us bring you the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate our business, such as to host the service at a co-location facility for servers, to send out email updates about Partybody, to remove repetitive information from our user lists, to process payments for products or services, to offer an online job application process, or to provide search results or links (including sponsored links). In connection with these offerings and business operations, our service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a limited time in connection with these business activities. Where we utilize third parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to the Partybody-specified purposes.

* If you, your friends, or members of your network use any third-party applications developed using the Partybody Platform ("Platform Applications"), those Platform Applications may access and share certain information about you with others in accordance with your privacy settings. You may opt-out of any sharing of certain or all information through Platform Applications on the Privacy Settings page. In addition, third party developers who have created and operate Platform Applications ("Platform Developers"), may also have access to your personal information (excluding your contact information) if you permit Platform Applications to access your data. Before allowing any Platform Developer to make any Platform Application available to you, Partybody requires the Platform Developer to enter into an agreement which, among other things, requires them to respect your privacy settings and strictly limits their collection, use, and storage of your information. However, while we have undertaken contractual and technical steps to restrict possible misuse of such information by such Platform Developers, we of course cannot and do not guarantee that all Platform Developers will abide by such agreements. Please note that Partybody does not screen or approve Platform Developers and cannot control how such Platform Developers use any personal information that they may obtain in connection with Platform Applications. In addition, Platform Developers may require you to sign up to their own terms of service, privacy policies or other policies, which may give them additional rights or impose additional obligations on you, so please make sure to review these terms and policies carefully before using any Platform Application. You can report any suspected misuse of information through the Partybody Platform and we will investigate any such claim and take appropriate action against the Platform Developer up to and including terminating their participation in the Partybody Platform and/or other formal legal action.

* We occasionally provide demonstration accounts that allow non-users a glimpse into the Partybody world. Such accounts have only limited capabilities (e.g., messaging is disabled) and passwords are changed regularly to limit possible misuse.

* We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the Partybody service or using the Partybody name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies.

* We let you choose to share information with marketers or electronic commerce providers through sponsored groups or other on-site offers.

* We may offer stores or provide services jointly with other companies on Partybody. You can tell when another company is involved in any store or service provided on Partybody, and we may share customer information with that company in connection with your use of that store or service.

* Partybody Beacon is a means of sharing actions you have taken on third party sites, such as when you make a purchase or post a review, with your friends on Partybody. In order to provide you as a Partybody user with clear disclosure of the activity information being collected on third party sites and potentially shared with your friends on Partybody, we collect certain information from that site and present it to you after you have completed an action on that site. You have the choice to have Partybody discard that information, or to share it with your friends.

To learn more about the operation of the service, we encourage you to read the tutorial here. To opt out of the service altogether, click here.

Like many other websites that interact with third party sites, we may receive some information even if you are logged out from Partybody, or that pertains to non-Partybody users, from those sites in conjunction with the technical operation of the system. In cases where Partybody receives information on users that are not logged in, or on non-Partybody users, we do not attempt to associate it with individual Partybody accounts and will discard it.

* If the ownership of all or substantially all of the Partybody business, or individual business units owned by Partybody, Inc., were to change, your user information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. In any such transfer of information, your user information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.

When you use Partybody, certain information you post or share with third parties (e.g., a friend or someone in your network), such as personal information, comments, messages, photos, videos, Marketplace listings or other information, may be shared with other users in accordance with the privacy settings you select. All such sharing of information is done at your own risk. Please keep in mind that if you disclose personal information in your profile or when posting comments, messages, photos, videos, Marketplace listings or other items , this information may become publicly available.

This privacy policy covers the use of cookies by Partybody and does not cover the use of cookies or other tracking technologies by any of its advertisers.

Where you make use of the communication features of the service to share information with other individuals on Partybody, however, (e.g., sending a personal message to another Partybody user) you generally cannot remove such communications.
