Controlling and Protecting Your Privacy

We may still use your location (such as for security or advertising purposes) even if you choose not to display it to other users.
• We do not “track” your location, but we do collect location information from your device or browser when you log in or use our Services, such as when you visit a particular feature that uses location. In addition, as with most location-enabled applications, we and our third-party partners may access your location any time your device is on, whether or not you are logged-in to our Services. But we do not share your precise location with other users.
• Password. Store your password in a safe place, and do not share it with anyone. If you think someone has your password, change it immediately.
• Posting Information. Posting personal information on public areas of our Services will make it publicly available.

Do not post personal information in public areas of our Services that you want to keep private.

If you have not opted in to subscribe to a blog post, news or article on one of our websites, and you have not intentionally provided information through a form or email process, we will not have personally identifiable information beyond what Google Analytics, or the website collects anonymously for performance and traffic purposes. That anonymous data is not able to be provided to you, since it does not include any identifying information.

Web Beacons
Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons (also known as “1×1 GIFs” or “clear GIFs”) may be included in our web pages and messages. Web beacons may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a web page or e-mail can act as a web beacon. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors to our Friday@8 Website, to monitor how users navigate the Friday@8 Website, to count how many e-mails that were sent were actually opened or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed.

Like most standard website servers, we log Device Identifiers and the operating system of your computer and may track your movement within the Friday@8 Website, the pages from which you were referred, access times and browser types in order to improve security, analyze trends and administer the Friday@8 Website. We use this information in the aggregate to gauge the effectiveness, usage, and popularity of our Friday@8 Website, track information for statistical purposes, help diagnose and troubleshoot server malfunctions, analyze trends, track user movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information and track traffic and sales to our partner merchants. We may also use individual information we collect through web logs to send you targeted offers and other communications.

Payment processing and Payment Processor
Payments made on the Friday@8 website are made through Eventbrite payment gateway provider. You will be providing credit or debit card information directly to Eventbrite which operates a secure server to process payment details, encrypting your credit/debit card information and authorizing payment. Information which you supply to Eventbrite is not within our control and is subject to Eventbrite’s own privacy policy and terms and conditions. Note your payment card details are not shared with us by the provider.

Data Security and Storage
We use industry standard security measures to prevent the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. However, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent “hackers” from illegally obtaining this information. We will store and maintain your personal information for as long as necessary.

1. for the purposes for which it was collected,
2. to meet our current and future legal obligations, including compliance with our records retention practices, and
3. as permitted to meet our legitimate interests. Our Services are hosted in the United States, and we maintain your information in the United States and elsewhere on the cloud.

If you are outside the United States, you agree to have your data transferred to and processed in the United States and elsewhere. When we transfer personal data outside of the European Economic Area, we ensure an adequate level of protection for the rights of data subjects based on the adequacy of the receiving country’s data protection laws and contractual obligations placed on the recipient of the data. A copy of these safeguards may be made available by writing to us at the address provided in the Contact Information section below.

How long we keep information
How long we keep information we collect about you depends on the type of information, as described in further detail below.  After such time, we will either delete or anonymize your information or, if this is not possible (for example, because the information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your information and isolate it from any further use until deletion is possible.

Data Retention
We store the information we collect about you for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which we collected it, and in accordance with our legal obligations and legitimate business interests.

How to access and control your information
You have certain choices available to you when it comes to your information. Below is a summary of those choices, how to exercise them and any limitations.

Your Choices: 
You have the right to request a copy of your information, to object to our use of your information (including for marketing purposes), to request the deletion or restriction of your information, or to request your information in a structured, electronic format.  Below, we describe the tools and processes for making these requests.  You can exercise some of the choices by logging into the Services and using settings available within the Services or your account. For all other requests, you may contact us at info@Fridayat8.com to request assistance. Your request and choices may be limited in certain cases: for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal information about another person, or if you ask to delete information which we or your administrator are permitted by law or have compelling legitimate interests to keep.  

Access and update your information: Our Services and related documentation give you the ability to access and update certain information about you from within the Service. For example, you can access your profile information from your account and search for content containing information about you using key word searches in the Service.  You can update your profile information within your profile settings and modify content that contains information about you using the editing tools associated with that content.

Request that we stop using your information:  In some cases, you may ask us to stop accessing, storing, using and otherwise processing your information where you believe we don’t have the appropriate rights to do so.  For example, if you believe a Services account was created for you without your permission or are

no longer an active user, you can request that we delete your account as provided in this policy.  Where you gave us consent to use your information for a limited purpose, you can contact us to withdraw that consent, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place at the time. You can also opt-out of our use of your information for marketing purposes by contacting us at info@Fridayat8.com.  When you make such requests, we may need time to investigate and facilitate your request.  If there is delay or dispute as to whether we have the right to continue using your information, we will restrict any further use of your information until the request is honored or the dispute is resolved, provided your administrator does not object (where applicable).  If you object to information about you being shared with a third-party app, please disable the app or contact your administrator to do so.

Opt out of communications: You may opt out of receiving promotional communications from us by emailing us at info@Fridayat8.com. Even after you opt out from receiving promotional messages from us, you will continue to receive transactional messages from us regarding our Services.
