SignMeUp Privacy Policy

1. INFORMATION SIGNMEUP COLLECTS FROM YOU
   Active Information Collection Like many other web sites, we actively collect information from our visitors both by asking you specific questions on this site, and by permitting you to communicate directly with us via e-mail. Some of the information that you submit may be personally identifiable information (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, etc.).
   
   During the registration process, we specifically ask users for their name, street address, zip code, date of birth, e-mail address, gender, as well as for payment information and any additional information required by the sponsors, such as shirt size or job title. We also ask users to create a user name and password. Remember, even if you do not register on one of our web sites, if you send us an e-mail message, you provide us with your e-mail address, which we retain so that we may respond, as appropriate, and for other business purposes.
   
   Passive Information Collection As you navigate through a Web site, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without you actively providing us with information) using various technologies and means, such as navigational data collection. Like most web operators, on this web site we track IP addresses, use both session and persistent cookies, and assign internet tags. The information we collect might include information regarding your browser, type of computer, operating systems, Internet service providers and other similar information. Our system also automatically gathers information about the areas you visit on our sites.
   
   
2. HOW SIGNMEUP USES YOUR INFORMATION
   The personal information you provide is used by SignMeUp and our sponsors to complete your specific registration request. As a service to users, SignMeUp also maintains a central database of the information provided to us by those who have registered for events through the SignMeUp online process. Those users may sign up for other events and services simply by entering the user name and password they selected during the first online registration.
   
   SignMeUp may use your information to contact you about new features or products in which we believe you may be interested. SignMeUp may also share your information with select business partners, including reputable vendors with whom we contract to assist us in processing information (such as credit card payments); those who may deliver items that you order; or other third parties who offer products or services in which we believe you may be interested. SignMeUp may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, online traffic patterns and related information to reputable third parties. SignMeUp will also disclose any information that it is required to disclose by law or in response to a request by an appropriate government authority.
   
   SignMeUp conducts online registration processes on sponsor web sites. If you are registering for an event or service using a SignMeUp registration engine housed at a sponsor web site, your information will be used both by SignMeUp, (subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy) and by the sponsor. You should review the sponsor's privacy policy carefully before registering and submitting your information online. SignMeUp may rent, sell, or otherwise share your information with third parties for purposes unrelated to this web site or our registration services. If you do not want your information to be shared, you may go to www.signmeup.com/optout as described in Section 3.
   
   SignMeUp passively collects information to understand what areas of our site are more popular, what areas may require improvement, and what technologies are being used by users of our site. This information helps us to update and improve this site. We also use this information for security purposes, to detect and to block security breaches and to provide you with a safe online environment. SignMeUp uses cookies to personalize the experience at our site or on our registration pages, to deliver content specific to a user's interest, and to make the user's experience at our site more pleasurable.
   
   Some of our advertisers may display ads on our sites which solicit or contain technology to collect information about our users for the advertisers. This information is collected and used by our advertisers,and is outside of our control. If you have any questions about a banner advertisement, you should contact that advertiser directly.
