Privacy Policy
 
Effective on: August 7, 2009
 
A. Why Your Privacy is Important to Us 
 
MVP Circle is committed to making it simple for you to share your nightlife stories to your friends. At the same time we want to give you control over what information you wish to share with people. We believe you should have control over your personal information that you put on the website. For example, if you want your real name to be privatized then just uncheck the ‘Display Real Name publically’ box in your player profile under your personal information. Furthermore, we allow you to use an alias so that you do not have to put your real name on the website. If you choose to create a circle, we allow you to privatize your circles that you create so that this information does not have to be released to the public. At the same time, it is important that you have access to other peoples information as well. 

B. Who the Privacy Policy Applies to
  
This Privacy Policy applies to the services offered by MVP Circle, including any MVP Circle branded URL (the “MVP Circle Website”), the MVP Circle instant messaging service (I.M.), MVP Blog, videos, photos, forums, bar reviews and other features related to the MVP Circle Services. This includes but is not limited to any other features, content, or applications offered from time to time by MVP Circle in connection with the MVP Circle Website (collectively, the “MVP Circle Services”).
 
The MVP Circle Services are hosted in United States. If you are located outside the United States, you expressly agree that Personal Information and Related Data will be transferred to the United States for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy as a result of your using the MVP Circle Services.

C. The Information We Collect
 
When you visit MVP Circle you provide us with two types of information: (1) Personal information, and (2) Website use information. Personal information is information that you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected by us. Web Site use information is information that is collected by us as you interact with our Web Site.
i. Personal Information
You can view videos, photos, blogs, bar reviews, player profiles, circles, and forums on MVP Circle without having a MVP Circle Account. You also can contact us through the Contact Section on MVPCircle at http://www.mvpcircle.com/content/staffcontact or by emailing us directly without having to register for an account.
 
For some activities on MVP Circle, like Instant Messaging, creating a circle, participating in hot nightlife related topics in the forum, reviewing the hottest nightclubs, and having your own player profile, private messaging members, autographing member guestbooks, and adding members as friends, you need a MVP Circle Account. We ask for some personal information when you create an account, including your email address and a password, which is used to protect your account from unauthorized access.   When you register with MVP Circle, you provide us with certain personal information, such as your name, email address, gender, and any other personal or preference information that you provide to us. You may, of course, decline to submit personal information through MVP Circle, in which case you can still view videos and explore MVP Circle, but MVP Circle may not be able to provide certain services to you. 
 
MVP Circle collects your email address, first and last name, in order to register you as a Member (“Registration Data”). MVP Circle cannot register you as a Member without this information. All other information you provide during the MVP Circle registration or that you post on the MVP Circle website is voluntary. MVP Circle may also collect personal information from you if you choose to participate in MVP Circle Services activities like sweepstakes, contests, and surveys, because you want us to furnish you with products, services, newsletters, or information, or in connection with content or suggestions you submit to MVP Circle for review.
 
ii. Website Use Information
 
In addition, MVP Circle collects other Related Data including IP address, aggregate user data, and browser type. This data is used to manage and improve the MVP Circle Services, track usage, and for security purposes.
 
MVP Circle Members may also choose to provide or store non-personal information and Related Data in their profiles, including but not limited to date of birth, interests, hobbies, lifestyle choices, groups with whom they are affiliated (schools, companies), videos and/or pictures, private messages, bulletins or personal statements (collectively “Profile Information”). The Profile Information in a Member’s profile is provided at his or her sole discretion. Please be aware that your Profile Information, as well as any information posted to any public forum, can be accessed by the public. Profile Information located on private profiles can be accessed by MVP Circle at all times and, in limited cases, by certain third parties authorized by MVP Circle for purposes of ensuring compliance with MVP Circle’s Terms of Use.
 
MVP Circle determines the purposes of collection, use and disclosure of the Registration Data you provide and, as such, is considered the data controller of this information. Because the Member, not MVP Circle, determines the purposes for which Profile Information is collected, used and disclosed, MVP Circle is not the data controller of Profile Information that Members provide on their profile. 
 
When a Member chooses to post Profile Information that will be publicly disclosed, that Member is responsible for ensuring that such information conforms to all local data protection laws. MVP Circle is not responsible under any data protection laws for Member posted information.
