OC NIGHTLIFE'S PII COLLECTION PRACTICES
OC Nightlife Services may be linked to Internet sites operated by other companies. OC Nightlife Services may also carry advertisements from other companies. OC Nightlife is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites or other services operated by third parties that are linked to or integrated with the OC Nightlife Services or for the privacy practices of third party Internet advertising companies. Once you leave OC Nightlife Services via such a link, access a third party application (such as widgets) or click on an advertisement, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the third party or advertiser site to determine, among other things, how they will handle any PII they collect from you.
OC Nightlife may use cookies and similar tools to customize the content and advertising you receive based on the Profile Information you have provided. Profile Information you provide in structured profile fields or questions (multiple choice questions like "Marital Status," "Education," and "Children") and other non-PII about you may also be used to customize the online ads you encounter to those we believe are aligned with your interests. For example, based on your marital status we might display an advertisement to make sure you are advised when a singles event is coming to town. The information used for this feature does not provide your PII or identify you as an individual to third parties.
Some of the advertisements that appear on OC Nightlife Services may also be delivered to you by third party Internet advertising companies. These companies utilize certain technologies to deliver advertisements and marketing messages and to collect non-PII about your visit to or use of OC Nightlife Services, including information about the ads they display, via a cookie placed on your computer that reads your IP address.
Third party applications (such as widgets) created by third party developers may also be available on the OC Nightlife Services. Third party applications are small bits of software, often with interactivity, that can be installed into Members' profiles or shared with other Users. However, OC Nightlife does not control the third party developers, and cannot dictate their actions. When a Member engages with a third party application, that Member is interacting with the third party developer, not with OC Nightlife. OC Nightlife encourages Members not to provide PII to the third party's application unless the Member knows the party with whom it is interacting.
CHOICE: OC NIGHTLIFE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH CHOICES ABOUT THE USE OF YOUR PII
Except as described in this Privacy Policy, OC Nightlife will get your permission before we use the PII you provide to us in a way that is inconsistent with the purpose for which it was submitted or share your PII with third parties that are not affiliated with OC Nightlife.

These outside contractors, agents or sponsors may temporarily store some information on their servers, but they may only use your PII to provide OC Nightlife with a specific service and not for any other purpose. OC Nightlife may also provide your PII to a third party in those instances where you have chosen to receive certain information and have been notified that the fulfillment of such a request requires the sharing of your PII. OC Nightlife also may share your PII with Affiliated Companies if it has a business reason to do so.
As described in "Notice" above, OC Nightlife may customize the advertising and marketing messages you receive on the OC Nightlife Website, or may work with outside companies to do so. Your non-PII and/or Profile Information may be shared with these companies so this customization can be accomplished. OC Nightlife prohibits these companies from sharing your non-PII and/or Profile Information with any third party or from using it for any other purpose. Anonymous click stream, number of page views calculated by pixel tags, and aggregated demographic information may also be shared with OC Nightlife's advertisers and business partners.
