Gr8Gang is a fun website that lets you refer your friends to sign up and communicate with each other. Like any website that offers a service where you register and provide information about yourself or your opinions, it is wise to pay attention to your personal information. At Gr8Gang we understand this, and have established this Privacy Policy to explain how information is collected on our website, and how this information is used. Members Must Be 18 years of age or older. Gr8Gang is intended solely for use by persons 18 years of age or older. All persons under 18 are prohibited from registering on Gr8Gang.

User Information Collected by Gr8Gang

Personally Identifiable User Information

All users begin using Gr8Gang's services by registering on the Gr8Gang website. When registering, users provide personally identifiable information, which includes their first and last name, email address, mailing address, which school they attend, a user-chosen password, and date of birth, and other personal information. During registration, users also complete survey questions that provide information that is helpful for us to understand the demographics and consumer behavior of our users, such as identifying the users' personality type, favorite color, sport, food, activity or TV show, post-graduation plans or graduation year. Users are also asked to complete a questionnaire for their online profile, which includes a variety of questions about the user's interests. To complete the registration process, Gr8Gang verifies that the user's email address is a valid email address. This allows us to confirm the user's identity.

Cookies and Passive Data Collection

Gr8Gang logs standard user information and clickstream data for all users, including a user's IP address, operating system, and page views. When users visit particular pages within Gr8Gang, a UserID may be placed in the URL, allowing customized features for the user. Users should be aware that other websites visited before entering Gr8Gang might place personally identifiable information within a user's URL during a visit to their website, and Gr8Gang has no control over such websites. Accordingly, some of this information may be logged by a subsequent website that collects URL information. In addition to the standard log information, Gr8Gang uses a variety of technologies to create a more personalized experience for its users. Cookies are small data files sent by websites to a user's browser and hard drive that identify the computer to the website. Users have the option, within their Internet browsers, to disable cookies and continue to access the Gr8Gang website. Pixel tags are tiny graphic files that are included in HTML-encoded e-mail messages. Gr8Gang web pages may also contain similar pixel tags that allow us to count users who have visited those pages, to compile aggregated statistics about site usage, and to deliver co-branded services as they become available. Gr8Gang pixel tags collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the pixel tag resides. Gr8Gang web pages may also contain pixel tags placed there by third party ad servers, to monitor the effectiveness of their advertising.

How Gr8Gang Uses the User Information

Personally Identifiable Information

Gr8Gang uses personally identifiable user information for the purposes of the Gr8Gang website, the Gr8Gang referral and friend list building. Personally identifiable information including members' pictures and names are displayed to people in order to facilitate user interaction on Gr8Gang. Email addresses are used for the purposes of inviting new friends to join Gr8Gang and to add users to members 'friends' networks. To facilitate searching and finding friends and acquaintances on the service, Gr8Gang allows users to search for other members using first and last name, email address, location and schools where users may have attended. We also use email addresses to send useful information to all registered users regarding the Gr8Gang website. For example, we use email addresses of users, and of those persons provided on their referral lists, to send an invitation to the referred friend and encourage them to sign up on Gr8Gang. When a user registers on Gr8Gang, an email is automatically sent from the registered user to the email addresses listed on the user's referral page, encouraging the referral to sign up on the Gr8Gang website. If the referred person does not sign up within a few days, we also may send a reminder from the registered user to the referral address. All registered users will be able to view other users Stats, Profiles, and friend list pages, which may include personal information and responses to survey questions. If a registered user refers a friend who goes on to sign up on our site, then the registered user earns points. Gr8Gang does not share the email address and/or other personally identifiable information of any registered user with third parties.
