The Governmenty is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience.
This Statement of Privacy applies to the the Governmenty website and governs data collection and usage. By using the Governmenty website, you consent to the data practices described
in this statement.
COLLECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
The Governmenty collects personally identifiable information such as your e-mail address, profile photos you upload, profile nickname, the city you live in, date of birth, gender and occupation. We do not collect physical addresses or phone numbers.
The Governmenty also uses 3rd party services including Google Adsense and Google Analytics that collect anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by the Governmenty. This information can include:
your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used by the Governmenty for the operation of the service,
to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Governmenty website.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through the Governmenty public message boards, this information
may be collected and used by others. Note: the Governmenty does not read any of your private online communications.
The Governmenty encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from the Governmenty so that you can understand how those websites collect,
use and share your information. The Governmenty is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the Governmenty and the Governmenty family of websites.
USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Profile information including nickname, age, gender and photos are displayed to people in a user's personal network to support the function of the site as social community.
A user's full name is used when a user invites a friend via email to join the service or attend an event, when we send notifications to a user related to their use of the service or when
a user specifies in their account to make their full name public. A user's email address or other private data is never shared or displayed.
The Governmenty collects and uses your personal information to operate the Governmenty website and deliver the services you have requested. The Governmenty also uses your personally
identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from the Governmenty and its affiliates. The Governmenty may also contact you via surveys to conduct research
about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
The Governmenty does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. The Governmenty may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a
particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party.
In addition, the Governmenty may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries.
All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to the Governmenty, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your
information.
The Governmenty does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as phone number, email, or address, without your explicit consent.
The Governmenty keeps track of the websites and pages our customers visit within the Governmenty, in order to determine what the Governmenty services are the most popular. This data is
used to deliver customized content and advertising within the Governmenty to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
The Governmenty website will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to
the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on the Governmenty or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of the Governmenty; and, (c) act under exigent
circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Governmenty, or the public.

to have their personal information deleted by choosing an option to delete their account on the website or by contacting us.
CHAT ROOMS, MESSAGE BOARDS & PUBLIC FORUMS
Please be aware that whenever members voluntarily disclose personal information online - e.g., message boards, chat areas, file uploads, events, and listings - that information becomes public and
can be collected and used by others. By posting personal information online in public forums, members may receive unsolicited messages from other parties.
NEWSLETTER
