Overnight Socialite's Online Privacy Policy

Overnight Socialite's Privacy Policy

Your privacy on the Internet is important to us. As part of the operation of Overnight Socialites, we gather certain types of information about OvernightSocialitesNewYork.blogspot.com users, and we would like to explain the types of information we gather, what we do with it and how to correct or change the information.

Information Collected By Overnight Socialites
Overnight Socialites collects three types of personally identifying information from users: personal data from voters (e-mail addresses); personal data from Contest Entrants (name, physical address, email address, telephone number, answers to questions, photos of Entrants, and videos of Entrants); and aggregated data (such as information about traffic patterns on Overnight Socialites, for example how many users log into Overnight Socialites on a daily basis).

Personal Data
Email addresses are collected when users vote as part of Overnight Socialites Contests.

Names, physical addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, answers to questions, photos of Entrants, and videos of Entrants are collected from users when they enter an Overnight Socialites Contest.

Aggregated Information
Aggregated information, such as which pages users access or visit and information volunteered by users, such as survey information, is collected through various methods. For example, Overnight Socialites collects IP addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers, the computers that "serve up" Web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address, and when you request a page from Overnight Socialites, our servers log your IP address. Overnight Socialites does not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, so although your session will be logged, you will remain anonymous to us. Overnight Socialites collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to provide aggregate data to advertisers about the volume of use on Overnight Socialites.

Use of Cookies
