SignUpGenius, Inc. and its affiliates are referred to hereafter as "SignUpGenius," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our."
We do not knowingly add users to our website without permission. A person can be added to our site (the "Site") when they register themselves to create a sign up form (a "Creator") or when someone invites them to a sign up form (a "Participant"). A Creator will provide certain information to us (e.g., name, email address, etc.) and will create a password. A Participant will provide his or her name plus any additional information that the Creator of that sign up page requests from each Participant. SignUpGenius does not and cannot control how the Creators of a sign up use the information you provide as a Participant. If a Creator adds your information to our site and you do not want to be a part of our service, contact us and our staff will delete you from our system.

We give the creator of the sign up choices about the privacy of his/her sign up form and what data he/she will collect.

We do not publicly promote or link the web addresses of the sign ups on our site without approval of the Creator to try to ensure that only the people to which you promote your sign up will see it. The Creator has the option to promote the sign up page publicly or to a select group of people.
Our site collects anonymous aggregate data and may choose to make some of this data public. Our site gathers anonymous aggregated data like web statistics and demographics statistics on our users. This data may be used to help us run our business, attract advertisers/investors, and measure the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. We may choose to share or publicize certain anonymous aggregated data about our site. However, because this data is anonymous and in summary form (e.g., does not include your name, email address, home address, etc.), no advertisers or third parties receive this private information about you. For details about the aggregate data, see the "Web Analytics" section in the technical details at the bottom of this page.
For our online advertisements, we do our best to avoid inappropriate or offensive ads. Advertising that you see on our site comes from various sources. An advertisement could be from a company that we partnered with directly. Alternatively, an advertisement could be provided to us by an advertising network that programmatically fills the ad slot, including but not limited to Google's DoubleClick Ad Exchange or Google Adsense, to automatically fill our advertising inventory. For ads that are provided programmatically, we do attempt to filter out sensitive or controversial categories where possible through our account settings. While we do not manually preview every ad before it is served, we periodically monitor the advertising and block any advertisement that we deem offensive or inappropriate. We are in no way responsible for the content of an advertiser's website if you choose to click on an advertisement. We also offer the ability to remove advertisements from your sign ups with a paid subscription for those who prefer it.
We allow and may assist third-party ad networks or vendors in collecting non-personally identifiable information (non-PII) in order to serve relevant advertising both on our site and elsewhere. Like many web sites, we partner with ad networks that utilize contextual marketing, which is targeted advertising based on user data, such as web behavior. Ads on our site or in our emails may utilize data collected on other sites. Conversely, data collected on our site or via our emails may impact ads seen across different channels and platforms, including but not limited to, computers, mobile devices, and TV addressability. Information gathered is generally used for geo-targeting purposes (showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites). For the technical details related to contextual marketing and opt-out information, please see the "Third-Party Ad Networks" section below.
We take precautions, but cannot provide guarantees. We do our best to secure your data through the programming of our services and the use of security measures that we deem appropriate for the type of data provided. However, we cannot completely guarantee that no part of our system or site will ever fail or be compromised. If you ever suspect that our site or services has contributed to your personal information being compromised, please contact us immediately so that we can investigate and try to resolve the matter.

Web Beacons

Like many other web sites, the Company makes use of log files. The information inside the log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, type of browser, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement around the site, and gather demographic information.
Web Analytics
In addition to our own programming, we use web analysis services, such as Google Analytics, to compile aggregated statistics. Web analytics services utilize the data collected to track and examine the use of our site, to prepare reports on its activities and share them with other services. The providers of the web analysis services may use the data collected to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. the Company may utilize additional features of such web analytics services. Data that is collected may include: cookie data, usage data, geographic data, demographic data, and interest data. For more info on Google's privacy policies, visit the Google Privacy Center. Visitors can opt-out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and customize Google Display Network ads using Google's Ads Settings. Google also offers an opt-out browser add-on.
Third-Party Ad Networks
We partner with third-party ad networks. The use of cookies and/or web beacons to collect data is used in the ad serving process. SignUpGenius does not have access to this data. The third-party ad networks may use the DART cookie, which collects data when an ad is viewed or clicked on, to serve ads to our users based on their previous visits to our sites and other sites on the Internet. For ads utilizing the Google advertising system, users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie for interest-based advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. For further details on Google and their privacy policy, see the Google Privacy Center. In addition, SignUpGenius allows other trusted third-party companies or vendors to collect certain non-personally identifiable information. Our partners may place or recognize a cookie on your computer, device, or directly in our emails/communications. These partners may utilize cookies, pixels or other technologies to collect and use non-personally identifiable information (e.g., hashed data, click stream information, browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over, or other non-personally identifiable data) during your visits to this and other web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you. To learn more about this behavioral advertising practice or to opt-out of this type of advertising, you can visit the websites of the Digital Advertising Alliance at www.aboutads.info and Networking Advertising Initiative at www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. SignUpGenius is affiliated with Publisher First, Inc. dba Freestar ("Freestar") for the purposes of placing certain advertising on SignUpGenius, and Freestar will collect and use certain data for advertising purposes.

We do this in ways that are intended to extend the SignUpGenius experience to our customers in a variety of environments. Depending on the circumstances and the contractual obligations in place, this sharing may be a "sale" under applicable law and you may have the right to request that we stop such sharing as more fully set forth below.

California Do Not Track Disclosure
Some Internet browsers include the ability to transmit "Do Not Track" signals, which is a privacy preference that users can set in some web browsers, allowing users opt out of tracking by websites and online services. Since uniform standards for "Do Not Track" signals have not been adopted, SignUpGenius does not process or respond to "Do Not Track" signals.
