Nitegigs.com welcomes comments and questions

personal information. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of

Nitegigs.com collects personally identifying information during:
(i) events, sweepstakes, contest or promotion registration;
(ii) subscription registration; (iii) user surveys; and (iv)
registration for certain interactive areas on Nitegigs.com
and on Web sites that carry the Nitegigs.com brand, where
visitors also provide content submissions and suggestions
or participate in interactive online activities (i.e., community
postings, voting, chat, or bulletin boards).
For each visitor to our Web page, our Web
server automatically recognizes and we collect that visitor's
domain name and e-mail address (where possible). In addition,
we collect the e-mail addresses of those who post messages
to our forum board, the e-mail addresses of those who communicate
with us via e-mail, the e-mail addresses of those who make
postings to the general areas, aggregate information about
which pages visitors access, user-specific information about
which pages visitors access and how much time is spent in
particular areas, and information volunteered by the visitor,
such as survey information and/or information provided in
site registration forms, including but not limited to a visitor's
name, address, and phone number. Nitegigs.com may retain personally
identifying information indefinitely.
Nitegigs.com may use personally identifying information of
its visitors to award prizes, track compliance with our Terms
& Conditions, or for editorial and feedback purposes (to
the extent that is explained when visitors provide the information).
Nitegigs.com may disclose personally identifying
information about you, your accounts, or any content you provide
on your site, if Nitegigs.com believes in good faith that
such action is reasonably necessary to enforce its Terms &
Conditions, to comply with the law, to comply with legal process,
to operate its systems properly, or to protect the rights
or property of itself, its members, its visitors, or others.
When you create a user profile or participate
in interactive areas of Nitegigs.com, all information volunteered
by you is displayed or broadcast publicly to the Nitegigs.com
community . You should keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily
disclose personal information online - in a user profile or
in general areas, for example - that information can be collected
and used by others who visit that area of our site.
Nitegigs.com copy text images from forums
on our site and may disclose such material for use in promoting
Nitegigs.com or its services or if Nitegigs.com believes in
good faith that such action is reasonably necessary to enforce
its Terms & Conditions, to comply with the law, to comply
with legal process, to operate its systems properly, or to
protect the rights or property of itself, its members, its
visitors, or others.
Other companies which provide services
on our site, or which advertise on our site, may collect information
about you. Nitegigs.com does not control collection or use
of this information. You should contact these companies or
advertisers directly if you have any questions about their
use of this information. We will provide notice to you if
one of our partners or sponsors collects information about
you on our site, such as through a tournament, sweepstake,
or contest.
Nitegigs.com will take appropriate
steps to protect the information you share with us. Whenever
you give Nitegigs.com sensitive information (credit card numbers,
for instance), Nitegigs.com will take commercially reasonable
steps to establish a secure connection with your web browser.
Credit card numbers are used only for payment processing and
are not retained for marketing purposes.
You can help Nitegigs.com to maintain
the accuracy of your information. If at any time you wish
to modify your information, you can do that through the member's
control panel.
Nitegigs.com collects IP addresses
for the purposes of system administration and to report aggregate
information to our advertisers. An IP address is a number
that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're
surfing the Web. Web servers -- the big computers that "serve"
up Web pages -- automatically identify your computer by its
IP address.
When visitors request pages from Nitegigs.com,
our servers log their IP addresses. We do not link IP addresses
to any personally identifiable information. This means that
a user's session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous
to us.
What are cookies? Cookies are pieces
of information that a Web site transfers to an individual's
hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make Web-surfing
easier for you by saving your passwords, purchases, and preferences
while you're at our site. The use of cookies is an industry
standard -- you'll find them at most major Web sites.
By showing how and when guests use the site,
cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are
not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on
such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This
information is most easily tracked with cookies. If you accept
the first tracking cookie from Nitegigs.com, you won't be
offered as many afterwards.
Each browser accessing Nitegigs.com
is given a unique cookie, which is then used to determine
the number of unique site visitors. An additional cookie lets
our computers remember that you've registered, which allows
us to speed up your future activities at our sites. Letting
it do the record-keeping saves you the trouble of entering
information over and over again during a single visit. If
you decline this cookie, you may have difficulty ordering
your selections. How Nitegigs.com does not use cookies
Nitegigs.com does not use cookies to retrieve information
from your computer that was not originally sent in a cookie.
Except as described below, Nitegigs.com does not use information
transferred through cookies for any promotional or marketing
purposes, nor is that information shared with any third parties
whatsoever. Nitegigs.com does not use cookies to identify
specific individuals, except in such cases as user logins
and contest registration (where a cookie allows you to enter
a contest every day without registering again each time).
You may occasionally get cookies from our
advertisers. Nitegigs.com does not control these cookies,
and these cookies are not subject to the Nitegigs.com cookies
policy. The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party
servers is standard in the Internet industry.
Most browsers are initially set to accept
cookies. If you'd prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies
or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, it is
possible that some parts of the site, like the forums, will
not function properly if you do so.
By using this site, you signify your
assent to the Nitegigs.com Privacy Policy. If you do not agree
to this policy, please do not use the site. We reserve the
right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove
portions of this policy at any time. Please check this page
periodically for changes. Your continued use of Nitegigs.com
following the posting of changes to these terms will mean
you accept those changes. You can send e-mail to us with any
further questions.
