ethanku ("ethanku") Statement on Privacy and Security of Information.
The following policy explains our information gathering practices.
Information Collected
1. Your Personally Identifiable Information Collected by ethanku:
When you sign up with the ethanku service, our sign up form
may require you to give us certain information such as your name,
email address, and zip code. ethanku will also collect other information
you volunteer to us through use of our service. We refer to this information
as "Personally Identifiable Information." You may always choose not to
provide such Personally Identifiable Information; however, this may limit
our ability to provide you with a specific service or particular content.
We may also collect demographic and other data, which may include Personally
Identifiable Information, generally through surveys and forms which you may
or may not choose to participate in.
2. Your Personally Identifiable Information Collected by ethanku Business Partners:
ethanku works with third-party advertising companies, sponsors and other companies
with whom we do business ("Business Partners") to place advertising on our site.Information about
your visit to this site, such as number of times you have viewed an ad, may be used
to serve advertising to you on this site.
ethanku may correlate or match registered Users' information, including Personally
Identifiable Information, with information held by our Business Partners to target
ads or otherwise improve the effectiveness of our service. Our Business Partners may
read or set cookies on your hard drive, use pixel tags, track which ads you have
viewed, or collect other information about you.
From time to time, ethanku may also have special offers or promotions that are
sponsored by a Business Partner. In order to participate in these offers, you may be
required to follow a separate registration process. If you consent to receive information
from a Business Partner, through an opt-in or opt-out process, ethanku may pass your
information to such Business Partner.
In some cases, we may enter into a promotional relationship with a Business Partner in which
we prominently display their brand name or trademarks on pages that appear the same as or very
similar to the pages of the ethanku service. These pages are known as "Co-Branded Pages" and
these particular Business Partners are known as "Co-Branded Business Partners." If the page
on which you submit information is a Co-Branded Page, or was accessed by clicking on a link on
a Co-Branded Page, then we may share your personal information with the associated Co-Branded
Business Partner. Co-Branded Business Partners may use your personal information in accordance
with their own privacy policies. ethanku disclaims all liability for the privacy policies and
procedures on any Business Partner or Co-Branded Business Partner Web site. You will need to contact
the Co-Branded Business Partner to instruct them directly regarding your preferences for the use of
your personal information by them. Additionally, you agree that we may use and disclose all such
information so submitted to such Co-Branded Business Partners in the same manner in which we are
entitled to use and disclose any other information you submit to us (see Use of Your Personally
Identifiable Information by Business Partners below).
3. Guest Contact Information:
In order to send messages to your guests through the ethanku service,
we require that you submit to ethanku a current, valid email addresses for your guests. When you send messages through
our service (e.g., an ethanku ), we collect and retain the email addresses or other pertinent contact information of
those persons to whom you send the message. Except as described below in the Section titled "When We May Disclose Your
Personally Identifiable Information, Data or Guest Contact Information", we do not sell, share or otherwise provide
the guest contact information you submit to ethanku to any third party.
4. Cookies:
ethanku wants to optimize your experience by ensuring that the most relevant information, promotions and offers are displayed to you while using the Evite web site. A common manner in which to do this is by placing cookies on your computer. Cookies are strings of text and numbers that can identify your computer to us when you visit our site, and which may be correlated with your Personally Identifiable Information in our log files. In the event a location, like a zip code, is not available in your profile or you have not searched in a location on ethanku, we will cookie your location from your last Evite invitation.
5. IP Address:
When you visit our site, we log standard information such as your IP address, which is a number that can be used to identify your location and Internet Service Provider, along with the URL from which you came to our site and the URLs visited on our site. A URL is the full address of a Web site page, which may or may not contain some Personally Identifiable Information about the person who is viewing it.
When we send messages to you or others, we may provide a URL link to the ethanku site that contains an alphanumeric identifier, which allows us to identify the person to whom we sent the message so that we can personalize our content for that individual.

1. Use Of Your Personally Identifiable Information by ethanku:
ethanku does not sell, share or otherwise provide any "Personally Identifiable Information" you give to us with any Business Partner without your consent, which may be obtained through an opt-in or opt-out request (see Use of Your Personally Identifiable Information by Business Partners below), unless required by law, court order or as required to technically operate the service, or to complete a transaction or order. ethanku does reserve the right to share your Personally Identifiable Information with its parent, subsidiary or affiliated entities ("affiliated entities" are those companies owned or controlled by ethanku parent company). We use the collected Personally Identifiable Information to schedule events for you, to contact the recipients on your ethanku list, to contact you in connection with your transactions, posting and other activities on the site, to forward to you messages from other Users, to communicate with you about events or activities in your area and to operate the ethanku service. These types of communications may contain commercial messages, such as banner ads and special offers. Each communication we send to you, other than communications sent to you for the sole purpose of addressing a technical or operational issue regarding the ethanku service, will give you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving further communications from us. In addition, we use your Personally Identifiable Information to help us provide you with personalized content, advertising, and commercial messages (collectively, "Content").
