We take your privacy very seriously at Youwote and are committed to providing users a high standard of control and transparency with regard to their personal information.

What This Privacy Policy Covers

This policy covers how Youwote (http://www.youwote.com) treats personal information that it collects and receives, including information related to your past use of Youwote services. Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable, like email address, and that is not otherwise publicly available.
This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Youwote does not own or control, or to people that Youwote does not employ or manage. Youwote partners may have their own privacy statements, which we encourage users to review by clicking on their respective links.

Information Collection and Use

• General
  Youwote may collect personal information when you register with Youwote, use Youwote services, or visit the pages of certain Youwote partners. Youwote may combine information about you that we have with information we obtain from business partners or other companies. When you register, we may ask for information such as your email address, gender, date of birth and state of residence and other optional information. Once you register with Youwote and log in to our services, Youwote collects information about your interactions with us and with some of our business partners. Youwote automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, Youwote cookie information and the pages you request.
  
  Youwote uses information for the following general purposes: to provide you with general analysis of voting results, such as by major demographic groups (e.g. men vs. women), customize the advertising and content you see, fulfill your requests for services, improve our services, contact you, conduct research, and provide anonymous reporting for internal and external clients.
  
  Customers may provide suggestions via the customer feedback facility and this information may be retained indefinitely in order to serve as a valuable repository of ideas for future products and services.
• Information Sharing and Disclosure
  Youwote does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or non-affiliated companies except to provide services you've requested, when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:
  
  We may provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with Youwote under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help Youwote communicate with you about offers from Youwote or our marketing partners. However, these companies do not have any independent right to share this information.
  
  We may respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Youwote's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
  
  We may transfer information about you if Youwote is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, Youwote will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
  
  Youwote may display targeted advertisements based on personal information. Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who interact with, view, or click on targeted ads meet the targeting criteria. Youwote does not provide any personal information such as username or email address but Youwote may provide anonymous demographical data to the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad. However, by interacting with or viewing an ad, you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the ad.
• Cookies
  Youwote may set and access Youwote cookies on your computer. Youwote may let other companies that show advertisements on some of our pages set and access their cookies on your computer. Other companies' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers or other companies do not have access to Youwote's cookies. Youwote may also use web beacons to access Youwote cookies inside and outside our web site and in connection with Youwote services.

Your Ability to Edit and Delete Your Account Information and Preferences

• General
  You can edit your Youwote account information or edit or delete your polls at any time. We reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to the Youwote service, such as service announcements and administrative messages, that are considered part of your Youwote account, without offering you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving them.
• Confidentiality and Security
  We limit access to personal information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide services to you or in order to do their jobs. We have physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that protect personal information about you.
• Changes to this Privacy Policy
  Youwote may update this policy. We will notify you about significant changes in the way we treat personal information by sending a notice to the email address specified in your Youwote account or by placing a prominent notice on our site.
