Use of Information Obtained by Milwaukee Happy Hour

Your profile information, as well as your name, email and photo, are displayed to your “Friends” in the Milwaukee Happy Hour network. We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by Milwaukee Happy Hour that we think you may find valuable. Profile information is used by Milwaukee Happy Hour primarily to be presented back to and edited by you when you access the service and to be presented to others permitted to view that information (i.e. “Friends”). Your name and small profile picture will be available in search results across the Milwaukee Happy Hour network. This is primarily so your friends can find you and send a friend request. People who see your name in searches, however, will not be able to access your profile information unless they are “Friends” with you, which you must approve.Milwaukee Happy Hour will send you only service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. For instance, if a friend sends you a new message or kick, or someone posts on your message board, you may receive an email alerting you to that fact.  If you do not wish to receive these email notifications, you have the option of turning them off in your Account settings. Milwaukee Happy Hour may use information in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties.

Sharing Your Information with Third Parties

We do not provide contact information to third party marketers without your permission. We share your information with third parties only in limited circumstances where we believe such sharing is 1) reasonably necessary to offer the service, 2) legally required or, 3) permitted by you. For example: We may provide information to service providers to help us bring you the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate our business, such as to host the service at a co-location facility for servers, to send out email updates about Milwaukee Happy Hour, to remove repetitive information from our user lists, to process payments for products or services, or to provide search results or links (including sponsored links). In connection with these offerings and business operations, our service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a limited time in connection with these business activities. Where we utilize third parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to the Milwaukee Happy Hour-specified purposes. We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the Milwaukee Happy Hour service or using the Milwaukee Happy Hour name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies. If the ownership of all or substantially all of the Milwaukee Happy Hour business, or individual business units owned by Milwaukee Happy Hour LLC, were to change, your user information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. In any such transfer of information, your user information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.
