Privacy Policy

Purpose of this Privacy Policy

This privacy policy ("Policy") explains when and how personal information is collected, used, and disclosed with respect to our web site located at www.igottaList.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you consent to the privacy practices described in this Policy, as modified from time to time by us. We reserve the right to change the provisions of this Policy at any time. We will alert you that changes have been made by indicating on the privacy policy the date it was last updated. Your use of the Site following the posting of such changes or revised statement shall constitute your consent to any changes in our privacy practices. Please carefully review this policy whenever you visit our Site so you understand our data privacy practices and can make an informed decision about using our Site.

What is Personal Information?

As used herein, the term "personal information" is information that we can use to identify you as an individual. Personally information includes your name, address, telephone number and any other information that is connected with you personally.

Information This Privacy Policy Does Not Apply To

This privacy policy does not apply to information collected about you by anyone except igottaList and only applies to the web sites to which this policy is linked. Any information you provide when you visit web sites other than those covered by this policy or when you purchase any products or services, or enter contests, that may be linked to or advertised on our web site by companies other than igottaList is subject to the privacy policies posted on those sites. Except as may be otherwise specified herein, this policy also does not apply to information you may provide to us offline.

Collection of Personal Information

a. igottaList generally collects personal information with your specific knowledge and consent. When you register on igottaList, we collect your email address, username, and password. These are required for users to store and modify bookmarks and other content on the site. We will also collect your bookmarks and associated content, messages, IP address, and information from browser data and cookies.
b. Your User ID, bookmarks, lists and associated content and any postings you make to message boards are displayed throughout the Site. Therefore this data is available to the public and will be identifiable to your User ID. You can choose to make your bookmarks and lists private by going to the list setting page for each list. A user may email lists to other users by using the email function and therefore IgottaList collects these email addresses for the purpose of sending lists and populating a user’s address book.
c. This information may sometimes be collected by third party service providers with whom igottaList contracts to host the web site or to fulfill requests for services; in that event, igottaList asks such service providers to make the personal information available only to igottaList for igottaList to use in accordance with the terms of this policy and not to use the information for any other purpose. igottaList uses this information to allow you to enjoy the functionality of the site, to troubleshoot and to provide customer support. In addition, igottaList may use your bookmarks to improve our marketing and promotional efforts by providing targeted advertising based on the content of the lists.
d. We do not sell or rent any of your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. If you send an email using the service to an email address that is not registered in our community, we do not use that email address for any purpose other than to send your email. We do not rent or sell these email addresses, nor do we send them marketing messages.
e. Other users may send emails and in-system messages to you via the igottaList service. igottaList does not review these messages before they are sent to you.
f. On an aggregate, non-personally identifiable level we may also use this data to analyze site usage, customize the site’s content, layout, and services, and for disclosure to advertisers and other third parties for their marketing and promotional purposes and to demonstrate to them the value of our own site. However, we do not sell or rent any of your personally identifying data to third parties for marketing purposes.
g. When you register for the first time on igottaList, you will be automatically opted in to receive in-system and email notices, which may include notification if someone sends you a message or invites you to join an igottaList group, new friend requests, igottaList newsletters and announcements, notification of new activity on your lists, and notices about public igottaList activity by your friends.
h. When you transfer to the site outside of the igottaList network, your shopping activity will be conducted on their site, and in accordance with that merchant’s own privacy policy and terms of service. igottaList has no control over those policies, so you should carefully review them before you conduct any business on a third party site. igottaList shall have no liability for any commercial transactions you conduct on a merchant’s site, and you hereby release IgottaList for any claims, liabilities or damages of any nature as a result of such activities.
i. In the unlikely event that we believe that the security of your personal information in our possession or control may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development. If a notification is appropriate, we would endeavor to do so as promptly as possible under the circumstances, and, to the extent we have your e-mail address, we may notify you by e-mail.
j. In addition to the foregoing, igottaList may share or disclose personally identifiable information about you to other companies or individuals when:

• we utilize third party service providers to provide products, services or functions on our behalf (such as sending emails or processing credit cards or fulfilling subscriptions), and ask these service providers to agree to maintain the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information and not to use your personally identifiable information for any reason except to carry out the purpose(s) for which we hired them;
• you have entered a contest or sweepstakes sponsored by a third party, in which case the information may be shared with that third party for their use in their discretion, including direct marketing. (Some of our contests and sweeps will ask you at the time of entry whether you would like your personal information to be shared with the sponsor. Other contests will not give you that option and in that event, if you do not want your information to be shared, you should not enter the contest);
• you have furnished us personal information with the intent that it be forwarded to a third party for use in connection with a specified service you are electing to participate in (examples include, without limitation, e-commerce partners, services to help old friends locate you online, etc.);
• we must comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal or regulatory process;
• we have reason to believe that someone may be causing injury to or interference with our rights or the rights of our users, or general public, or using our services in violation of a legal or personal right;
• in connection with a sale, merger, transfer, exchange, or other disposition (whether of assets, stock, or otherwise) of all or a portion of the business conducted by the web sites to which this policy applies.
