This policy covers how Vent!Vent collects and uses personal information that you enter by submitting forms on this website. Personal information is information that is personally identifiable, such as name, address, phone number and email address, and that is not otherwise publicly available. Vent!Vent is not responsible for the content or privacy policies of other web sites to which we may link.
This Privacy Policy covers Vent!Vent's treatment of personal information that Vent!Vent gathers when you are on the Vent!Vent website and when you use Vent!Vent services. This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that Vent!Vent does not own or control, or to individuals that Vent!Vent does not employ or manage.
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with a friendly, customized, and efficient experience. We only collect personal information that is relevant to the purpose of our website. We do not process this information in a way that is incompatible with the purpose for which it has been collected or subsequently authorized by you. We collect the following types of information from our users:
1. Information You Provide to Us:
We receive and store any information you enter on our website or provide to us in any other way. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our special features. The personal information you provide is used for such purposes as registration. In order for you to use Vent!Vent services, such as submitting Vents to the website, you must complete a registration form.
2. Automatic Information:
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. Vent!Vent automatically receives and records certain "traffic data" on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, Vent!Vent cookie information, and the page you requested. Vent!Vent uses this traffic data to help diagnose problems with its servers, analyze trends and administer the website.
Social sharing of data: Vent!Vent allows other users to browse comments that you have submitted or commented on.
Syndication: Vent!Vent allows for RSS syndication within the website.
Vent!Vent uses cookies to improve the quality of our service. Vent!Vent does this by storing user account identification information in a cookie so that the user may configure and utilize a personalized profile. No personally identifiable information is stored in the cookie itself.
Vent!Vent does not sell, rent or share any individual personal information with any third party organizations, unless you give us explicit permission to do so. Vent!Vent will also not use your personal contact information (i.e. email address) to send you any commercial offers or solicitations, unless you have explicitly agreed to receive such solicitations. However, we may use your email address to contact you about specific issues related to your account or our service.
Vent!Vent reserves the right to share aggregate data about our users with any third party organization without your express consent. Such aggregate data will never include any personally identifiable information. For example, we may disclose how frequently the average Vent!Vent user visits Vent!Vent.com, or which Vent!Vent.com pages are most often used.
Please be aware that we may release specific personal information about you if required to do so in order to comply with any valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order.
The stories and sites displayed and/or linked to by the Vent!Vent services are developed by people over which Vent!Vent exercises no control. Vent!Vent will not be held liable or responsible for the actions of these sites.
Your Vent!Vent account information is protected by a password for your privacy and security. You need to work to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer by logging off once you have finished using a shared computer.
