PRIVACY POLICY

We know that in order for you to use the Goglean website and services (the “Service”), you have to feel comfortable providing us with personal information about yourself. We respect your privacy and recognize the importance of safeguarding that information.

This Privacy Policy informs you of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of information received from our users of the Service and of the website located at www.Goglean.org and is incorporated into our Terms of Use and Membership Agreement. It may be updated from time to time as our services change and expand. We will notify you of such changes by posting a notice and the new Privacy Policy on the Sites, and your continued use of the Sites will signify your acceptance of these new terms. The most current version of the Privacy Policy can be found at http://goglean.org/node/53

What Information Does Goglean Collect?

Personally Identifiable Information
When you register to use the Service we may collect your Goglean membership ID, your login password, your email address, mailing address, telephone number and bank account details. From time to time, in the future, we may offer additional features, services, and promotional opportunities that would require you to submit additional personally identifiable information to participate – for example, if we offer aspects of the Service for a fee we will collect credit card information from you, email address upon registration and various data based on Place inputs.

Site Usage Data
When you visit the Sites, our computers may automatically collect statistics about your visit. This information does not identify you personally, but rather identifies information about a visit to the Sites. We may monitor statistics such as how many people visit the Sites, the user's IP address, which pages people visit, from which domains our visitors come and which browsers people use. We use these statistics about your visit for aggregation purposes only. These statistics are used to help us improve the performance of the Sites.

Cookies
Like many websites, we use “cookies” to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer’s hard disk for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies for two purposes. First, we utilize persistent cookies to save your Goglean membership ID and login password if you have configured your browser to do so for future logins to the Sites and Service. Second, we utilize session cookies to enable certain features of the Sites and Service, to better understand how you interact with the Sites and Service, and to monitor aggregate usage by our users and web traffic routing on the Sites. Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted from your computer when you disconnect from the Sites and Service. Aside from your Goglean membership ID, these cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information. Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies. You can instruct your browser, by editing its options, to stop accepting cookies or prompt you before accepting a cookie from the sites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions of the Sites or all functionality of the Service. You can learn more about the use of cookies by visiting http://networkadvertising.org or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie. Third party advertising agencies may place advertisements on the Sites and may also use cookies of their own.

Phishing
We do not and will not, at any time, request your credit card information, Goglean membership ID, login password, or national identification numbers in a non-secure or unsolicited e-mail or telephone communication. Identity theft and the practice currently known as "phishing" are of great concern to Goglean. Safeguarding information to help protect your from identity theft is our priority. For more information about phishing, you may want to visit the Federal Trade Commission at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/phishingalrt.htm.

How Do We Use The Information We Collect?

Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with a smooth and efficient experience while you're using our Sites and Service, and to keep you informed of opportunities available about the Sites and Service. This allows us to provide features that are most likely to meet your needs, and to customize the Service. In addition, we may share information you provide among Goglean-related entities worldwide (those entities with whom we share common control).

We may use your email, mailing addresses and phone number to contact you regarding administrative notices, new product and service offerings, and communications relevant to your use of the Sites and Service, and to respond to your questions and requests. If you do not wish to receive mail from Goglean, you have the ability to stop receiving these mail communications by sending your Goglean membership ID, legal name and email address via email to stop contacting me, or via regular mail to Do Not Mail, Goglean. If you do not wish to receive email communications from Goglean, you have the ability to stop receiving these email communications by sending your Goglean membership ID and email address to unsubscribe. And, although we do not share your personally identifiable information with our business partners, we may send promotional emails on behalf of those business partners. At the end of any promotional emails you receive from us, you will find instructions to opt out of further similar communications.

You will receive administrative emails that are related to the primary usage and functionality of the Sites and Service. You may not opt-out of administrative emails.

Information you provide when registering may be used in the aggregate for demographic statistics and to display appropriate individualized content, advertisements and services. Goglean may also use information you provide, including personal and non-identifying information, for internal marketing and development efforts.

From time-to-time we will survey Goglean members. If you choose to provide personal information in response to a survey, such information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use of and satisfaction with the Sites and Service, and improving our customer service and product and Service offerings. We may also from time to time run promotions, sweepstakes or contests and may enter Goglean members into such promotions, sweepstakes or contests. If a promotion, sweepstakes or contest has an outside sponsor, the email addresses of Goglean members may be shared with the sponsor. When necessary to deliver a prize, delivery information about the winner of a promotion, sweepstakes or contest may be shared with a third party.

Do We Share Your Personal Information With Third Parties, Such As Advertisers, Service Providers, or Consultants?

We may use third parties to facilitate the Sites and Service, and therefore, may provide some of your information directly to them. In addition, we may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf, such as analyzing data and processing credit card payments, if applicable. These companies and individuals have access to your information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for any other purpose.
Goglean may disclose your information to government, law enforcement officials, or appropriate authorities, or private parties, as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, when required by law or under the good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary, in order to conform to applicable law, comply with legal process served on Goglean, to protect the property or interests of Goglean, its agents and employees, the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop any fraudulent, illegal, unethical, or legally actionable activity. Under such circumstances, Goglean may be prohibited by law, court order or other legal process from providing notice of the disclosure, and Goglean reserves the right to not provide such notice in its sole discretion. In some cases, the government can compel the disclosure of information about you, and Goglean will need to comply, in which case you authorize it to do so.

You also consent to Goglean disclosing information about you in connection with disputes involving other Goglean members, and to actual or potential parties to a lawsuit or action that Goglean is or may become involved in, (a) if Goglean is required to do so, (b) if Goglean reasonably believes that such disclosures will potentially mitigate its liability, or (c) for Goglean to enforce its rights.

As its business evolves, Goglean may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of its assets, including information provided by you, in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy. In such an event, personal and anonymous information may be one of the assets transferred.

Information collected on the Goglean websites may be stored and processed in any country in which Goglean maintains facilities. Consequently, Goglean has the right to transfer information outside of your country. For example, if you are registering on any websites controlled by Goglean or Goglean-related entities located in the European Union, your personally identifiable information must be disclosed to Goglean which is outside of the European Union in order to receive the Service. Therefore, you acknowledge and consent to the sharing of your personal information with Goglean and Goglean-related entities worldwide.

Goglean may share your information with advertisers, marketers and/or event sponsors.
