PRIVACY STATEMENT

This website is owned and operated by Grapevine Horizon Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our”). This document discloses the privacy policies and procedures of www.mynycnite.com and any affiliated websites. Please read this policy to understand how we will treat the personal information that you give to us. Your use of this website constitutes your agreement to the terms of this privacy policy.

Personally Identifiable Information Collected

You can visit and browse our website without revealing personally identifiable information about yourself. You may also choose to disclose personally identifiable information about yourself. Personally identifiable information relates to an individual consumer – including your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address. We collect personally identifiable information about you from our website as follows:

Newsletters – In order to receive our newsletter, you will be asked to provide certain information so that we can fulfill your request. We may ask you for certain personally identifiable information which includes, without limitation, your name, email address, postal address, telephone number, and areas of interest.

Contests, Sweepstakes, Games – From time to time, our site may contain notices of contests, sweepstakes, and games we are conducting. We use the information you provide to conduct the promotion (for example, to contact you if you are a winner). We will not use the information you provide to enter the promotion for any other purpose without your prior consent.

Email communications – You may also choose to communicate with us through email. If you send us an email, we collect the information in these communications, and such information is personally identifiable.

Questionnaires and Surveys – From time to time, we may ask you to complete online surveys and opinion polls about your favorite activities and places, attitudes, habits, and interests. These surveys help us understand how to better customize our service to meet your needs. We do not keep any personally identifiable information about you in connection with your participation in a website survey unless you specifically agree to provide this information. We may, from time to time, pass along non-personally identifiable information collection from these surveys to potential advertisers.

Telephone Service

When you call the telephone number posted on our website for the my nyc nite service, we will not collect your telephone number or any other personally identifiable information. We will not collect such information in the event that we use a caller id service.

Anonymous Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, like when you visit most other websites, certain anonymous information about your visit is automatically logged, including the server name and IP address through which you access the internet (such as “aol.com” or “earthlink.net”), the date and time you access our site, the pages you access while at our website, and the Internet address of the website, if any, from which you linked directly to our site. This information is not personally identifiable.

“Cookies”

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. We use session ID cookies and persistent cookies. A session ID cookie terminates when you close your browser. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user’s hard drive for an extended period of time.

Cookies allow us to recognize your computer while you are on our website and help customize your online experience and make it more convenient for you. Cookies are also useful in allowing more efficient log-in for users, tracking transaction histories and preserving information between sessions. The information collected from cookies may also be used to improve the functionality of our website.

Most web browser applications (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator) have features that can notify you when you receive a cookie or prevent cookies from being sent. If you disable cookies, however, you may not be able to use certain personalized functions of this website.

Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)

We employ a software technology called clear gifs (sometimes called web beacons or web bugs), that help inform us of what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of users. Clear gifs are not tied to users’ personally identifiable information. Clear gifs can “work with” existing cookies on a computer if they are both from the same web site or advertising company. For example, clear gifs enable us or our advertising company to match the clear gif identifier with a cookie ID number to show the past online behavior for a particular computer.

In addition, we use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by the recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

Information Use

We use the personally identifiable information we collect through our website primarily for such purposes as:

  • helping to establish and verify the identity of users;
  • providing services and support to users;
  • improving our website, including tailoring it to users’ preferences;
  • contact users with product or service updates, promotional notices and other information about www.mynycnite.com and its affiliates;
  • responding to your questions inquiries, comments and instructions;
  • maintaining the security and integrity of our systems.

Disclosure of Information

  • We do not disclose any personally identifiable information that we collect from our website to third parties for their marketing purposes without your prior consent.
  • We may disclose personally identifiable information to unaffiliated service companies to help us maintain and operate our website or for other reasons related to the operation of our own business or marketing. We require these service-related companies to take steps to maintain the confidentiality of any personally identifiable information they may receive from us, and require them to use such information only for legitimate business purposes.
  • We may conduct joint promotions with other companies or use a sweepstakes administrator. We may share with such companies (and their service providers) certain personally identifiable information as necessary to conduct the promotion. We will not share this information with our promotional partners for any other purpose without your prior consent.
  • We may disclose personally identifiable information about you in connection with legal requirements, such as in response to an authorized subpoena, governmental request or investigation, or as otherwise required by law.
  • As our business develops, we may sell or buy corporate assets, and in such transactions customer information may be one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event that our website, company, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, personally identifiable information may be one of the assets transferred in such acquisition.
