Privacy
Policy:
Information Collection and Use by 109 Studios
109 Studios collects user submitted information to authenticate
users. 109 Studios also collects other profile data including
but not limited to: personal interests, gender, age, education
and occupation in order to assist users in finding and communicating
with each other.
109 Studios also logs non-personally-identifiable information,
such as IP address and browser type, from all users and visitors
to the site. This data is used to manage the website, track
usage and improve the website services. User IP addresses are
recorded for security and monitoring purposes.
User Profile information including members' pictures and first
names are displayed to people in order to facilitate user interaction
in the 109 Studios social networking community. Email addresses
are used for the purposes of inviting new friends to join 109
Studios, to add users to members' friends' networks, and to
send notifications related to the service. With the exception
of inviting friends, adding friends, and notifications, a user's
email address is not shared or displayed to people outside of
a user's personal network. Users in and outside of a personal
network can communicate with each other through the Personal
Message service, without disclosing their email addresses. Users'
full names are never directly revealed to other members. To
facilitate searching and finding friends and acquaintances on
the service, 109 Studios allows users to search for other members
using first and last name, email address, and schools where
users may have attended.
Invitations and Other Communications to Non-members
109 Studios members can invite friends to join the service by
sending invitation emails via our automated invitation system.
109 Studios stores the email addresses that members provide
so that the respondents may be added to the friend's list of
the member sending the invitations, and also to send reminders
of the invitations. 109 Studios does not sell these email addresses
or use them to send any other communication besides invitations
and invitation reminders. Recipients of invitations from 109
Studios may contact 109 Studios to request the removal of their
information from our database.
Links
109 Studios contains links to sites. 109 Studios is not responsible
for the privacy policies and/or practices on other sites. When
linking to another site a user should read the privacy policy
stated on that site. Our privacy policy only governs information
collected on 109 Studios.
Chat Rooms, Message Boards, and Public Forums
Please be aware that whenever you voluntarily post public information
to Message Boards or any other Public Forums that that information
can be accessed by the public and can in turn be used by those
people to send you unsolicited communications.
Correcting/Updating or Removing Information
109 Studios users may modify or remove any of their personal
information at any time by logging into their account and accessing
features such as Edit Profile.
Security
109 Studios member accounts are secured by member-created passwords.
109 Studios takes precautions to insure that member account
information is kept private. We use reasonable measures to protect
member information that is stored within our database, and we
restrict access to member information to those employees who
need access to perform their job functions, such as our customer
service personnel and technical staff. Please note that we cannot
guarantee the security of member account information. Unauthorized
entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors
may compromise the security of member information at any time.
Sharing and Disclosure of Information 109 Studios Collects
Except as described above, 109 Studios will not disclose personal
information to any third party without a user's explicit permission
unless required by law. 109 Studios reserves the right to transfer
personal information to a successor in interest that acquires
rights to that information as a result of the sale of 109 Studios
or substantially all of its assets to that successor in interest.
