Italike provides this Privacy Policy to inform users of our policies
and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of
personally identifiable information received from users of this website,
located at Italike.com and its subdomains ("Sites" ) or collected
through our social networking service, including via SMS, WAP and
Instant Messaging ("Service" ). This Privacy Policy may be updated from
time to time for any reason; each version will apply to information
collected while it was in place. You are advised to consult this Privacy
Policy regularly for any changes.
By using our Sites you are consenting to our processing of your
information as set forth in this Privacy Policy now and as amended by
us. "Processing" means using cookies on a computer or using or touching
information in any way, including, but not limited to, collecting,
storing, deleting, using, combining and disclosing information, all of
which activities will take place in the United States. If you reside
outside the U.S. your personally identifiable information will be
transferred to the U.S., and processed and stored there under U.S.
privacy standards. By visiting our Sites and providing information to
us, you consent to such transfer to, and processing in, the US.
Our primary goals in collecting personally identifiable information are
to provide you with the product and services made available through the
Sites, including, but not limited, to the Service, to communicate with
you, and to manage your registered user account, if you have one.
Information Collected Upon Registration. If you desire to have access to
certain restricted sections of the Sites, you will be required to
become a registered user, and to submit certain personally identifiable
information to Italike. This happens in a number of instances, such
as when you sign up for the Service, or if you desire to receive
marketing materials and information. Personally identifiable information
that we may collect in such instances may include your IP address, full
user name, password, email address, city, time zone, telephone number,
and other information that you decide to provide us with, or that you
decide to include in your public profile.
Additional Information Your full user name and your photo, if you decide
to upload one, are displayed to people in the Italike network to
enable you to connect with people on Italike, as specified in your
privacy settings. Once a member, you may provide additional information
in the profile section, including but not limited to your bio, your
location, as well as your personal web site, if you have one. Providing
additional information beyond what is required at registration is
entirely optional, but enables you to better identify yourself and find
new friends and opportunities in the Italike system. If you activate
the mobile phone options per the Terms of Service, we will collect your
cellular phone number account information. You may receive
notifications on your cellular phone account in a number of cases, such
as when a Italike member adds you as a friend or sends you a
message. If you contact us by email through the Sites, we may keep a
record of your contact information and correspondence, and may use your
email address, and any information that you provide to us in your
message, to respond to you.
Use of Contact Information In addition, we may use your contact
information to market to you, and provide you with information about,
our products and services, including but not limited to our Service.
Log Data When you visit the Sites, our servers automatically record
information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website ("Log
Data" ). This Log Data may include information such as your IP address,
browser type or the domain from which you are visiting, the web-pages
you visit, the search terms you use, and any advertisements on which you
click. For most users accessing the Internet from an Internet service
provider the IP address will be different every time you log on. We use
Log Data to monitor the use of the Sites and of our Service, and for the
Sites' technical administration. We do not associate your IP address
with any other personally identifiable information to identify you
personally, except in case of violation of the Terms of Service
Like many websites, we also use "cookie" technology to collect additional website usage data and to improve the Sites and our service. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer's hard disk. We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information. Italike may use both session cookies and persistent cookies to better understand how you interact with the Sites and our Service, to monitor aggregate usage by our users and web traffic routing on the Sites, and to improve the Sites and our services. A session cookie enables certain features of the Sites and our service and is deleted from your computer when you disconnect from or leave the Sites. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Sites. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser help file directions. Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies. You can instruct your browser, by editing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit.
Service Providers We engage certain trusted third parties to perform
functions and provide services to us, including, without limitation,
hosting and maintenance, customer relationship, database storage and
management, and direct marketing campaigns. We will share your
personally identifiable information with these third parties, but only
to the extent necessary to perform these functions and provide such
services, and only pursuant to binding contractual obligations requiring
such third parties to maintain the privacy and security of your data.
Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement Italike cooperates with
government and law enforcement officials or private parties to enforce
and comply with the law. We may disclose any information about you to
government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our
sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims,
legal process (including subpoenas), to protect the property and rights
of Italike or a third party, the safety of the public or any
person, to prevent or stop any illegal, unethical, or legally actionable
activity, or to comply with the law.
Business Transfers Italike may sell, transfer or otherwise share
some or all of its assets, including your personally identifiable
information, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or
sale of assets or in the event of bankruptcy. You will have the
opportunity to opt out of any such transfer if the new entity's planned
processing of your information differs materially from that set forth in
this Privacy Policy.
Italike is very concerned about safeguarding the confidentiality of
your personally identifiable information. We employ administrative,
physical and electronic measures designed to protect your information
from unauthorized access.
We will make any legally-required disclosures of any breach of the
security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted
electronically stored personal data to you via email or conspicuous
posting on our Sites in the most expedient time possible and without
unreasonable delay, consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law
enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the
breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.
Our Sites may contain links to other websites. The fact that we link to a website is not an endorsement, authorization or representation of our affiliation with that third party. We do not exercise control over third party websites. These other websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personally identifiable information from you. Other sites follow different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the personally identifiable information you submit to them. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites you visit.
