Runawaysclub Privacy Policy Reviewed January 15,2006
Runawaysclub respects your personal privacy and is committed to adhering to federal and state privacy laws and industry guidelines
in order to protect you and your identity. This privacy policy describes how we handle the personal information that you provide
to us on this site. This policy applies only to Runawaysclub's handling of information collected through Runawaysclub web
sites and Runawaysclub-hosted event calendar and/or registration pages. It does not apply to the handling of your personal
information by the sponsors of the events or services for which you may be registering through Runawaysclub, or by their service
providers (all of whom are referred to in this policy as sponsors). It also does not apply to any third party sites which
may be accessible from this site, or to any third party sites from which you may have accessed this site or our event calendar
and/or registration pages.
Please be sure to read this policy before using our site or submitting information to us. Our Privacy Policy may change from
time to time, so please check this area periodically for updates to our policy. All changes are effective within fourteen
days after posting on our web site. If the change in our policy concerns our use of your information, you will have the right
to opt out of any such new use.
1. INFORMATION RUNAWAYSCLUB COLLECTS FROM YOU
Active Information Collection
Like many other web sites, we actively collect information from our visitors both by asking you specific questions on this
site, and by permitting you to communicate directly with us via e-mail. Some of the information that you submit may be personally
identifiable information (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your name, address, e-mail
address, phone number, etc.).
During the event calendar and/or registration process, we specifically ask users for their name, street address, zip code,
date of birth, e-mail address, gender, as well as for payment information and any additional information required by the sponsors,
such as shirt size or job title. Remember, if you send us an e-mail message, you provide us with your e-mail address, which
we retain so that we may respond, as appropriate, and for other business purposes.
Passive Information Collection
As you navigate through a Web site, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without you actively
providing us with information) using various technologies and means, such as navigational data collection. Like most web operators,
on this web site we track IP addresses, use both session and persistent cookies, and assign internet tags. The information
we collect might include information regarding your browser, type of computer, operating systems, Internet service providers
and other similar information. Our system also automatically gathers information about the areas you visit on our sites.
2. HOW RUNAWAYSCLUB USES YOUR INFORMATION
The personal information you provide is used by Runawaysclub and our sponsors to complete your specific event calendar and/or
registration request. As a service to users, Runawaysclub also maintains a central database of the information provided to
us by those who have registered for events through the Runawaysclub event calendar and/or online registration process. Those
users may sign up for other events and services simply by entering the user name and password they selected during the first
online registration.
Runawaysclub may use your information to contact you about new features or products in which we believe you may be interested.
Runawaysclub may also share your information with select business partners, including reputable vendors with whom we contract
to assist us in processing information (such as credit card payments); those who may deliver items that you order; or other
third parties who offer products or services in which we believe you may be interested. Runawaysclub may provide aggregate
statistics about our customers, sales, online traffic patterns and related information to reputable third parties. Runawaysclub
will also disclose any information that it is required to disclose by law or in response to a request by an appropriate government
authority.
Runawaysclub conducts online registration processes on sponsor web sites. If you are registering for an event or service using
an Runawaysclub registration engine housed at a sponsor web site, your information will be used both by Runawaysclub, (subject
to the terms of this Privacy Policy) and by the sponsor. You should review the sponsor's privacy policy carefully before registering
and submitting your information online. Runawaysclub does not rent, sell, or otherwise share your information with third parties
for purposes unrelated to this web site or our event calendar and/or registration services.
Runawaysclub passively collects information to understand what areas of our site are more popular, what areas may require
improvement, and what technologies are being used by users of our site. This information helps us to update and improve this
site. We also use this information for security purposes, to detect and to block security breaches and to provide you with
a safe online environment. Runawaysclub uses cookies to personalize the experience at our site or on our event calendar and/or
registration pages, to deliver content specific to a user's interest, and to make the user's experience at our site more pleasurable.
Some of our advertisers may display ads on our sites which solicit or contain technology to collect information about our
users for the advertisers. This information is collected and used by our advertisers, and is outside of our control. If you
have any questions about a banner advertisement, you should contact that advertiser directly.
3. CHOICES YOU HAVE ABOUT HOW RUNAWAYSCLUB USES YOUR INFORMATION
We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information:
If you do not wish for us to collect cookies, you may set your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are
being sent. If you do so, please note that some parts of this site may not be accessible or function properly.
You should review this privacy policy carefully, because if you do not agree with our practices, your ultimate choice is not
to use this site. Remember, by using any part of this site, you accept and agree to our privacy practices. If we update this
privacy policy, your continued use of this site (following the posting of the revised policy) means that you accept and agree
to the terms of the revised privacy policy.
4. HOW RUNAWAYSCLUB PROTECTS YOUR INFORMATION
We work hard to protect your personal information. We use both technical and procedural methods to maintain the integrity
and security of our databases, including SSL encryption for data transfer, firewalls, password restricted access to data,
and employee training. We implement Level 4 Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard Compliance Program. Customer
credit card numbers are not available anywhere in Runawaysclub. You also have control over the safety and security of your
information. Never share your password with anyone else, notify us promptly if you believe your password security has been
breached, and remember to log off of our site when you leave your computer.
Our web site contains links to other web sites operated by third parties that may be of interest to you. Likewise, you may
access our event calendar and/or registration pages through web sites operated by third parties. We cannot control these third
party sites, which may collect personal information from you. When you follow a link and leave our web site, you do so at
your own risk.

This site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We will not knowingly collect information from site visitors of
