Information Collected/Tracked by SelectSociety
Information submitted to SelectSociety
SelectSociety collects user-submitted account information such as names and email
addresses to identify users and send notifications related to the use of the service.
SelectSociety also collects user-submitted profile information such as gender, age,
occupation, location, etc.
Information not directly submitted to SelectSociety by users
This is information we collect that is not personally identifiable, such as browser
type and IP address. This information is gathered for all users of the site.
Use of Information Obtained by SelectSociety
Information users submit to SelectSociety
Profile information (e.g., name, photos, occupation, etc.) is displayed to other
SelectSociety members in order to support the function of the site as a social networking
community where users can meet new people through their friends. Full names are
used when a user invites a friend to join SelectSociety via email, when a user requests
to add another user to their friends list, and when we send notifications to a user
related to her or his use of the service. Full names can also be viewed on the profile.
However, a user's email address is not shared or displayed at any time. Users within
a personal network communicate on SelectSociety with each other through the SelectSociety
service, without disclosing email addresses. We may also use a user's email address
to send periodic updates (once every few months) or news regarding our site.
Information that users do not directly submit to us
We use your server, IP address, and browser information in the general administration
of our website.
Sharing of the information this site gathers/tracks
Except where you are expressly informed otherwise, we do not sell, rent, share,
trade or give away any of your personal information unless we are required to do
so by law.
Links
This site may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that SelectSociety
is not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites. We encourage our
users to be aware of 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.
Use of Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about
the user. We only use session ID cookies. Once the user logs out, the cookie simply
terminates. Cookies are used to manage sessions on our site. Users must enable cookies
to use our site. We do not and will not use cookies to collect private information
from any user which he or she did not intentionally submit to us.
Correcting/Updating or Removing Information
SelectSociety 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 and
Account Info.
Invite a Friend
If a user elects to use our invite feature to invite a friend to our site, we ask
them for the friend's email address. SelectSociety will automatically send the friend
an email inviting them to join the site. SelectSociety stores this email address
for the purpose of automatically adding the respondent to the friends list of the
user sending the invitation, and also to send reminders of the invitation. SelectSociety
does not sell these email addresses or use them to send any other communication
besides invitations and invitation reminders. The friend may contact SelectSociety
to request the removal of this information from our database
Forums, Groups, and the Chat Room
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information
online - for example on forums or in chat rooms - that the information can be collected
and used by others. In short, by posting personal information online in a place
that is publicly accessible, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties
in return.

to protect our users' information. We use strong measures to protect your information
that is stored within our database. We limit the access to your information to those
employees who need access to perform their job function such as our customer service
personnel. If you have any questions about the security at our website, Please contact
us.
Email Choice/Opt-out
Users who no longer wish to receive site updates such as incoming messages on SelectSociety
or friend requests may opt-out of receiving these communications by logging in,
clicking on “Profile”, on the “Notifications” tab, and selecting not wanted notifications.
Third Party Advertising
The ads appearing on this website are delivered to users by our web advertising
partners. Our web advertising partners may set cookies. Doing this allows the ad
network to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement.
In this way, ad networks may compile information about where you, or others who
are using your computer, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked
on. This information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that
they believe will be of most interest to you. SelectSociety does not have access
to or control of the cookies that may be placed by the third-party ad servers or
ad networks. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by SelectSociety and
does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Changes in Our Privacy Policy
If we change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our website so our
users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under
what circumstances, if any, we disclose said information. If we are going to use
users' personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated
at the time of collection we will notify users via email.
