What This Privacy Policy Covers

• This policy covers how GeoSpot treats personal information that GeoSpot collects and receives, including information related to your past use of GeoSpot products and services. Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly available.


• This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that GeoSpot does not own or control, or to people that GeoSpot does not employ or manage.

Information Collection and Use

General

• GeoSpot collects personal information when you register with GeoSpot, when you use GeoSpot services, when you visit GeoSpot pages or the pages of certain GeoSpot partners, and when you enter promotions or sweepstakes. GeoSpot may combine information about you that we have with information we obtain from business partners or other companies.


• When you register we ask for information such as your name, email address, birth date / age, gender, address / ZIP code, occupation, and personal interests. When you register with GeoSpot and sign in to our services, you are not anonymous to us.


• GeoSpot collects information about your transactions with us and with some of our business partners.
• We also collect information in the form of the content that you submit in the course of your use of this website ("Content"), i.e. photos, reviews, and ratings of businesses, persons, and points of interest.


• GeoSpot automatically receives and records information from your computer and browser, such as your IP address, time stamp, cookie information, software and hardware attributes, and the page you request.


• GeoSpot uses information for the following general purposes: to customize the content you see, fulfill your requests for products and services, improve our services, contact you, conduct research, and provide anonymous reporting for internal and external clients.

Children

• GeoSpot service is not directed to children under age of 13 and we do not knowingly solicit information from them. If you are less than 13 years old, you should not register and/or provide any personal information.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

• GeoSpot does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or companies except to provide products or services you've requested, when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:


• We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.


• We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of GeoSpot's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.


• We transfer information about you if GeoSpot is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, GeoSpot will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.


• GeoSpot displays targeted advertisements based on personal information. Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who interact with, view, or click targeted ads meet the targeting criteria—for example, women ages 18-24 from a particular geographic area.


• GeoSpot does not provide any personal information to the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad. However, by interacting with or viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the ad.


• We may display your contributed Content to other users of this web site to share your insights with the broader community. Your profile information (excluding your email address and last name) may also be displayed in connection with your Content.


• When you voluntarily disclose information about yourself in the Content that you submit to this website (e.g., including your name or email address in a review that you post to this website), that information can be collected, correlated, and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from others. Such activities are beyond our control. Please do not post any personal information on this website that you expect to keep private.


• We may sell and distribute your Content together with your limited profile information (excluding your email address and last name) to third parties who in turn may display or publish such information in connection with their own websites, mobile platforms, and other media, whether electronic in nature or otherwise.

Cookies

• GeoSpot may set and access GeoSpot cookies on your computer. We use cookies to simplify user experience and provide better targeted service.


• GeoSpot lets other companies that show advertisements on some of our pages set and access their cookies on your computer. Other companies' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers or other companies do not have access to GeoSpot's cookies.

Links

• This website may contain links to third party websites to which we have no affiliation. Except as set forth herein, we do not share information about you and your use of this website with those third parties, and are not responsible for their privacy practices. We suggest you read the privacy policies on all such third party websites.

Others Information

• You may choose to provide us with another person's information such as an email address so that person may be invited to create an account on this website and become your friend. We use this information to contact and, if necessary, remind that person about the invitation. All invitees are provided with the option not to receive further invitations.

Your Ability to Edit and Delete Your Account Information and Preferences

• You can edit your GeoSpot Account information, including your Marketing Preferences, at any time.
• New categories of marketing communications might be added to the Marketing Preferences page from time to time. Users who visit this page can opt out of receiving future marketing communications from these new categories or they can unsubscribe by following instructions contained in the messages they receive.


• We reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to the GeoSpot service, such as service announcements and administrative messages that are considered part of your GeoSpot account, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them.


• You can disable your GeoSpot account by visiting our Account page. In that case, you will not receive future communications from us and we will make commercially reasonable effort to cease displaying your Profile Information and Content on this web site. However, it may not be reasonably commercially possible to remove all of your information from GeoSpot web site and some information may be retained in the backup files.

Confidentiality and Security

• We limit access to personal information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs.


• We have physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect personal information about you.


• Although we take measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot guarantee you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.
