Our Privacy Policy
is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect and
use the personal information you provide to us and to assist
you in making informed decisions when using our site and our
products and services.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our Web site you may provide us with two types of information:
personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an
individual basis and Web site use information collected on an aggregate basis
as you and others browse our Web site.
1. Personal Information You Choose to
Provide
Registration Information
You will provide us information about yourself, your firm
or company, and your practices when you register to be a member
of THE URBANSTARR, LLC, register for certain services, or register
for email newsletters and alerts.
Email Information
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content
of your email messages together with your email address and our responses.
2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a standard technology
called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What Are Cookies?")
and Web server logs to collect information about how our Web site is used. Information
gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time of
visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites visited
just before and just after our Web site. We, our advertisers and ad serving companies
may also use small pieces of code called "web beacons" or "clear
gifs" to determine which advertisements and promotions users have seen and
how users responded to them.
How Do We Use the Information That You
Provide to Us?
We use personal information for purposes of administering and expanding our business
activities, distributing information about our clients, providing customer service
and making available other products and services to our customers and prospective
customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify
you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers
we think you will find valuable. You may notify us at any time if you do not
wish to receive these offers by emailing us at info@theurbanstarr.com.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique
identifier. When you visit a Web site, that site's computer asks your computer
for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated
for cookies. Each Web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's
preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits
a Web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies
sent to you by other sites.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
The site uses its cookies to automatically bring you to the Social Scene city
you visited when you logged on THEURBANSTARR.COM last. Cookies, in conjunction
with our Web server's log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of
people visiting our Web site and which parts of the site are most popular. This
helps us gather feedback in order to constantly improve our Web site and better
serve our customers. Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal information
about you and we do not generally store any personal information that you provided
to us in your cookies.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
We may enter into alliances, partnerships or other business arrangements with
third parties who may be interested in reading the THE URBANSTARR audience. Only
registrants who opt in to receive information from our partners will receive
communications from our partners. We also use third parties to facilitate our
business, including, but not limited to, sending email and processing credit
card payments. In connection with these offerings and business operations, our
partners and other third parties may have access to your personal information
for use in connection with business activities. That information will not be
used by those third parties for solicitation. As we develop our business, we
may buy or sell assets or business offerings. Customer, email, and visitor information
is generally one of the transferred business assets in these types of transactions.
We may also transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures,
mergers, or any dissolution.
Notice of New Services and Changes
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about
important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we think you
will find valuable. As our customer, you will be given the opportunity to notify
us of your desire not to receive these offers by sending us an email request
at info@theurbanstarr.com.
How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?
Email is not recognized as a secure medium of communication. For this reason,
we request that you do not send private information to us by email.
Certain Disclosures
We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or subpoena
or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law or comply
with legal process served on us or Affiliated Parties; (b) protect and defend
our rights and property, the Site, the users of the Site, and/or our Affiliated
Parties; or (c) act under circumstances to protect the safety of users of the
Site, us, or third parties.
What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our
Web Site?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from
our Web site nor the information or content contained therein. Often links to
other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that
may be useful to the users of our Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Web site to another Web
site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction
on any other Web site, including Web sites which have a link on our Web site,
is subject to that Web site's own rules and policies. Please read over those
rules and policies before proceeding.
Your Consent
By using our Web site you consent to our collection and use of your personal
information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we change our privacy policies
and procedures, we will post those changes on our Web site to keep you aware
