Privacy Policy

Information Collection and Use

Our primary goals in collecting personally identifiable information are to provide you with the product and services made available through the Site, including, to communicate with you, and to manage your registered user account.

Information Collected Upon Registration: You will be required to become a registered user, and to submit certain personally identifiable information to SircleIt. This happens in a number of instances, such as when you sign up for the Site, or if you desire to receive marketing materials and information. Personally identifiable information that we may collect in such instances may include your IP address, full user name, password, email address, birth day, city, time zone, telephone number, and other information that you decide to provide us with, or that you decide to include in your public profile.

Additional Information: Your full user name and your photo, if you decide to upload one, are displayed to people in the SircleIt network to enable you to connect with people on SircleIt, as specified in your privacy settings. Once a member, you may provide additional information in the profile section, including but not limited to your location, as well as your personal web site, if you have one. Providing additional information beyond what is required at registration is entirely optional, but enables you to better identify yourself and find new friends and opportunities in the SircleIt system. You will receive notifications on your email account in a number of cases, such as when a SircleIt member adds you as a friend or sends you a message and more. If you contact us by email through the Site, we may keep a record of your contact information and correspondence, and may use your email address, and any information that you provide to us in your message, to respond to you.

Use of Contact Information: In addition, we may use your contact information to market to you, and provide you with information about, our products and services. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such information or communications from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of the communications.
