Welcome the the privacy policy of Hudson Valley Nightlife, Inc.
Our home page is located at http://www.hudsonvalleynightlife.com. We have created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy.

Cookies
There is a technology called "cookies" which can be used to provide you with tailored information from a Web site. A cookie is an element of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may then store it on your system. We use cookies to save your password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our site and to keep track of your access to your personal information. We may also use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests. We use cookies to generate anonymous usage statistics, including: number of page views, number of first-time visitors, number of unique visitors, and number of returning visitors. This usage information is not linked to personally identifiable information gathered elsewhere on the site. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it.

Confidentiality and Security
We have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. 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. In sensitive areas, we use industry-standard SSL encryption to protect data transmissions.

Information Collection
When you sign up for our any of our services, you will be asked to select a username and password, and to provide us with your full name, address, phone number and e-mail address. We use your username and password to verify your identity, which is required to provide you access to your personal account information. We also ask for your credit card number to process your initial and all subsequent payments. If we have trouble processing an order, the information collected may be used to contact you.

IP Addresses
When your web browser or email application requests a web page or email from another computer on the Internet, it automatically gives that computer the address where it should send the information. This is called your computer's "IP address". When a web page is requested and viewed, that request is logged on our servers with information including the IP address of the computer that requested the page. IP addresses may be used to diagnose service or technology problems reported by our users or engineers that are associated with the IP addresses controlled by a specific web company or ISP. To prevent abuse, your IP address is also stored in our database when you register with us.

Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this web site.

Use of your Personal Information
We do not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or nonaffiliated 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 our terms and conditions, or as otherwise required by law.

Web Beacons
Web pages may contain electronic images (called a "single-pixel GIF" or a "web beacon") that allow a web site to count users who have visited that page or to access certain cookies. We may include web beacons in HTML-formatted email messages in order to determine which email messages were opened and to note whether a message was acted upon.

Web Site Usage Data
We keep track of usage data, such as the source address that a page request is coming from, your IP address or domain name, the date and time of the page request, the referring web site (if any), the type and version of browser you are using, and other parameters in the URL. We use this data in the aggregate to better understand web site usage, including what areas of our web site users prefer. This information is stored in log files and is used for aggregated and statistical reporting. This log information is not linked to personally identifiable information gathered elsewhere on the site. IP addresses may be used to diagnose service or technology problems reported by our users or engineers that are associated with the IP addresses controlled by a specific web company or ISP. To prevent abuse, your IP address is also stored in our database when you register with us.

Notification of Changes
We will occasionally update this privacy statement. When we do, we will also revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of the privacy statement. If we make any material changes in our privacy practices, we will post a prominent notice on our web site notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post the notice, we also email users, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.

Contact Information
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact us.
