CollegeBarScene.com Privacy Policy
  -- May 22, 2004

Cliff Notes:
We know that some of you aren't going to want to read this entire document, so we're going to sum up the important stuff for you right here.

In short, we promise to you that any information you submit to us is strictly confidential and we will not give out any information about you unless we are required by legal actions to do so. We hate spam as much as you do, so we won't give out your email to anyone. We also give you the option to hide your email from the public as well.

 
The Rest of the Story...
By signing up and using CollegeBarScene.com we require that you supply certain information to us. We give you our promise that we will not give any of your information out to anyone unless we are required to do so by legal action.

The password you submit to the site when you become a member is encrypted immediately and we have no way of accessing your actual password. Your email address will also not be given out to anyone else or sold to make money. We give you the option to make your email address appear hidden from the public if you would not like anyone else to see it.

We use cookies and sessions to store your information while using the site. There is no need to be alarmed by this news, because we only use it to store information which the website uses and converts to know if you're logged in and what your username is. When you log off the site, the cookies and sessions are deleted

If you would like to learn more about the specifics of how our cookies and sessions work, you may feel free to [Contact Us].

 
So what exactly do we do with your information?
For the most part, we do nothing with it. It is stored in our database and displayed when you post a message in our Forums or if you leave a comment for one of the bars. We do not require all of the information from you, and by giving us your information, such as School and Zip code, it gives us the opportunity to explore where our users are coming from and what we might be able to do to spread the word of our site to other people.

We may also use your information for internal documents known as White Papers. These White Papers are statistics and information that are only seen by the CollegeBarScene.com staff. As previously stated, we may use this information for research of where our users are coming from as well as figure out ways to appeal to the larger groups of users.

 
Keeping up with the Times
Since times change, some of our policies might change and we may also be required to add specific clauses to our current policy. Any major changes that may affect our users significantly will be posted on the main page and/or our updates page.

 
Are you still unclear of something?
We never want you to feel like you're left in the dark. If you have a question about our privacy policy or anything else for that matter, we encourage you to contact us and let us know what's on your mind. You can get a hold of us via our [Contact Form].
