The Atlanta Pride Committee, Inc. ("Atlanta Pride") Privacy Policy may be found below. Your use of any Atlanta Pride product or service constitutes your acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Atlanta Pride Privacy Policy. You are responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with all of these terms.
Privacy Policy
Updated: March 27, 2024
Atlanta Pride has created this privacy policy because we value our members and recognize their right to keep personal information private. This statement discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for Atlanta Pride websites, mobile applications, and other products ("Network").
Information Collection Methodologies
Cookies
When accessed over the World Wide Web, the Atlanta Pride Website uses cookies to gather broad demographic information about you, to deliver user-specific content specific to your interest, and to auto-fill forms with your demographic information so that you don't have to manually type that information each time you visit. A cookie is a small line of data that is stored on your hard drive. Some cookies are only stored for the duration of a single browser session; others persist across sessions. Information you provide to us voluntarily is NOT stored in the cookie; that information is kept encrypted and secure in our database. All cookies assigned by our Network are anonymous, random number strings. Neither we nor our advertisers will know who you are unless you specifically provide that information to us.
Mobile Device Unique Identifier
When utilizing an Atlanta Pride mobile application from your mobile device, Atlanta Pride may receive a unique identifier for your device and use it to offer extended services and/or functionality. You will always be asked permission before Atlanta Pride is provided this information about your device. All mobile identifiers received by our Network are anonymous, random strings; neither us nor our advertisers will know who you are unless you specifically provide that information to us.
Tracking Technologies
Atlanta Pride uses third-party technologies to track activity on our network and mobile applications via Cookies or Mobile Unique Identifiers. Atlanta Pride controls the use of this activity; while we use this anonymous information to better understand our readers and how they utilize our solutions, we do not sell this information or make it available to advertisers outside aggregated reporting without your authorization.
Third-party Information Collection
Organizations that place advertising on our Network will occasionally utilize Cookies or Mobile Unique Identifiers in order to deliver advertising that is targeted to you. Atlanta Pride does not control third-party use of such data.
Information Collected
Polls
At times, Atlanta Pride may conduct polls about our Network. These polls are always optional, and they do not request personally identifiable information from you.
Member Feedback
Atlanta Pride stores feedback you send to us via digital forms. This feedback is used to administer and refine the Atlanta Pride Website and associated services and at times may be shared with Atlanta Pride partners either in aggregate form or individually with specific identifying characteristics about the Member (e.g., e-mail address or name) removed.
Sharing Content with Other Users
If you choose to use our invitation service to tell a friend about our Network or specific content on our Network, we will ask you for information needed to send the invitation, such as your friend's email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email or message inviting them to visit the site. Atlanta Pride stores this information to send this one-time invitation and to track the success of such programs. Your friend may contact us at [email protected] to request that we remove this information from our database.
Contests
From time to time, we may provide you the opportunity to participate in contests on our site. If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as gender).
We use this information to notify you when you win or do not win said contests, and in order to ship any prizes you might win to you directly. When notified, your personal information may also be shared with the sponsors of said contests. Your entry to any contests is linked to your Registration (see below) and so the information you provide is subject to the terms described in the following section.
Registration and Your Account
When you register for an account with Atlanta Pride, you may provide us with personal information such as your name, your email address, your telephone number, your address, your gender and additional personal or preference information. We collect this information so that we can provide you customized service, so that you may post content such as comments, classifieds, events and photos, and so that we may offer you additional personalized features.
You post content on the Network at your own risk. Although we may allow you to limit access to your private information, such as through the use of a handle or alias, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other users with whom you may choose to share your identity and information. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that content you post on Atlanta Pride will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on Atlanta Pride. You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of your content may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other users have copied or stored your content.
Data Deletion Instructions
If you wish for your account to be deactivated and/or your user information to be deleted, please send a request to [email protected].
How We Use Your Data
The Atlanta Pride Website uses the data we collect to provide, personalize, maintain and improve our products and services. We may also use this data to market our services. We do not sell or otherwise provide your personal information to third parties unless you provide your specific authorization to do so, for example in the course of entering a promotion on our network.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS:
The Atlanta Pride Website does not fall under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) due to the fact that we do not meet the revenue threshold for compliance at this time.
NEVADA RESIDENTS:
Nevada's Privacy Law (SB-220) permits residents from that state to request that we do not sell their data. To make such a request, please email [email protected].
