Privacy Policy

Updated: December 9, 2009

Gay Vantage understands that online privacy is important to the users of our website. This statement governs the privacy policies of Gay Vantage with respect to users of this Site (“Visitors”) who visit without registering and those Visitors that do register in order to interact with the Gay Vantage community.

“Personally Identifiable Information” refers to any information that identifies or can be used to identify, contact, or locate the person to whom such information pertains. Such Personally Identifiable includes, but is not limited to, name, company name, address, email address, website URL, phone number or fax number.

Organizations Collecting Personally Identifiable Information

In addition to our direct collection of Personally Identifiable Information, our third party service vendors may collect this information from our Visitors. We do not control how these third parties use personal information provided to them from our Visitors. Some of these third parties may be intermediaries that act solely as links in the distribution chain and therefore do not store, retain, or use any Visitor information given to them.

We may also use it to make appropriate service offerings, to fulfill requests for information, to follow up on a news tip or other specific inquiries made by you or to fulfill other requests you make.

How Personally Identifiable Information is Stored

Personally Identifiable Information is not encrypted but we do take our responsibility seriously and make efforts to protect your information from being disclosed to unauthorized third parties, except as outlined in this Privacy Policy. The portion of our web server where your information is stored is secured by a user name and password scheme but we cannot make any guarantees against hackers or rogue programming that may obtain and exploit your Personally Identifiable Information. We do not collect any vital details or your financial information.
