Sociable Privacy Policy as of May 21, 2009

The Service and the Purpose of These Terms

This Privacy Policy applies to the Sociable applications on Facebook®, Bebo, hi5, Myspace, Orkut, Slide, and other social platforms; Sociable widgets designed for embedding on any website, including current partners such as LiveNation, RazorGator, Acteva, etc.; Rondavu.com; be_sociable.com; and any other online websites hosted by Sociable (all collectively "Websites"). Websites are provided by Rondavu, Inc. doing business as Sociable ("Company"). The Company believes in the responsible use of personal information. We understand that without the trust and respect of the users that make up our community we'd have nothing. So we'll strive to honor the privacy of anyone who registers and uses our service.

Your Personal Information at the Company's Websites

The Company is the sole owner of the personal information collected on its Websites and we collect personal information from our users at several different points on these Websites. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this Privacy Policy.

The Company's Websites ask for personal information only when it's necessary in order to deliver value-add service to you. We require certain pieces of information so we can provide you a personalized experience. We collect your zip-code or other location information in order to provide locally-targeted notifications of nearby concerts. And while we may use this information for research and to improve the site and services we offer you, except as stated herein or as you specifically give us permission, we promise not to pass on personally identifiable information to third parties.

Here's the information that we require from users for the use of our Websites:

  1. Your Facebook name and user ID.
  2. Your Facebook friend list.
  3. Invitations to Facebook events for yourself and your friends.
  4. Your gender and date of birth. (For our own demographic reports - so we can build a better site for our audience).
  5. Your geographic location as listed in your Facebook profile so we can tailor content to your local area.
  6. Your relationship status as listed in your Facebook status for better recommendation of events that may match your interest.
  7. Your music preferences as listed in your Facebook profile for better matching of concerts in your area that may match your interest.
  8. Your interest in particular events as indicated by purchasing a ticket, RSVP'ing, or inviting friends. If you choose to share this information, it may be made publicly available through your Public Profile or other portions of our Websites.

Lastly, in general on the Websites, you may provide information for the purpose of sharing event content with friends, including the information listed above, or other information, but are under no obligation to do so.

Cookies

Be aware that our Websites use "cookies". Cookies are small packets of information we place on your hard drive for tracking purposes - essentially a code number that we use to recognize you when you come back to the site. Only the information you volunteer, however, or the choices you make while visiting the site, can be stored in a cookie. A cookie cannot determine your email address, for example, unless you type it in. Allowing a website to create a cookie does not give that or any other site access to the rest of your computer, and only the site that created the cookie can read it.

Our Websites also use permanent cookies that store an encrypted session id code. This means we are able to "recognize" you when you come to the site, without the need for you to log in.

Some of our business partners may use cookies on our site. However, we have no access to or control over these cookies, once we have given permission for them to set cookies for processing your order.

Log Files

We log IP addresses to track which users have made what page requests, what browser that person was using, what their cookie was, and at what time the request was made. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the site, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. This logging process does not store any personally identifiable information.

Security Systems

This website takes reasonable precautions to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, all employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices and are regularly reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers' information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.

Sharing

We will share user profile and demographic information with our partners and advertisers, for purposes including, but not limited to, the delivery of targeted advertising.

We partner with third-party service providers such as LiveNation, RazorGator, and Ticketmaster that provide event information. When the user signs up to use these third-party services, we will share names, or other contact information that is necessary for such service provider to provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services. We may implement certain promotion(s) or feature(s) from time to time which require us to share your personally identifiable data with third parties. In these cases we will only share your personally identifiable data if you elect to use such promotion(s) or feature(s) and we will enter into agreements with such third parties which restrict their use of such personally identifiable data to purposes related to the delivery of such promotion(s) or feature(s). Though we make reasonable efforts to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on us or one of our Websites.

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website or other websites on Facebook. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you and your friends.

Links

This website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Website.

Surveys & Contests

From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name, telephone number and shipping address). Contact information (including telephone number and address) will be used to notify the winners and award prizes and by giving us your phone number you acknowledge and agree that we may contact you by telephone in connection with such survey or contest . Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site. We sometimes partner with third parties to implement our surveys and contests. Personally identifiable information may be initially received by and passed on to the Company by such third parties.

Merger

The Company may assign any or all of its rights hereunder and may transfer data collected or acquired hereunder in the event of a merger or acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company
