About Who's Going and the Information We Collect
Profile Information submitted by Members to Who's Going
Who's Going is an online social networking community that connects people near to each other. To accomplish this, each Who's Going Member creates his or her own profile, which contains the personal information that the Member chooses to include. This personal information includes such things as:
- First name or first and last names of the Member (depending on the options selected by the Member),
- Gender, age, or similar personal information,
- Location (e.g., city and state), and
- Photos, videos or other shared content uploaded by the Member to his or her profile, to the extent that it includes personal information.
Other Information submitted by Members to Who's Going
Who's Going also collects Member-submitted account information such as name and email address, to identify Members and send notifications related to the use of the Who's Going service.
You should also be aware that Members may reveal other personal information while communicating on other areas of the Who's Going website, such as while posting information on Member events or Member profiles. This information, in turn, might be viewed by other Members or visitors to the Who's Going website who are not Members.
Information Not Directly Submitted by Members or Other Website Users to Who's Going
Finally, we also collect some information from Members, as well as from other visitors to the Who's Going website, that is not personally identifiable, such as browser type and IP address. This information is gathered from all Members and visitors to the website.

Sharing of the Information this Site Gathers/Tracks
Except as explained above, or where you are expressly informed otherwise, we do not sell, rent, share, trade or give away any of your personal information, unless required by law or for the protection of your Membership. However, Who's Going may share profile information and aggregate usage information in a non-personally identifiable manner with advertisers and other third parties in order to present to Members and other users of the Who's Going website more targeted advertising, products and services.

Use of Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies on the Who's Going website. However, we do not and will not use cookies to collect private information from any Member or other user of the Who's Going website which they did not intentionally submit to us, other than as stated in this Privacy Policy.
We use both "session ID cookies" and "persistent cookies." We use session ID cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site. A session ID cookie expires when you close you browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. Note also that Members may optionally use a cookie to remember their email in order to automatically log in to our website. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browsers's "help" file; however, please note that, if you reject cookies or disable cookies in your web browser, you may not be able to use the Who's Going website.
Changes in Our Privacy Policy
If we change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our web site so Members and other users of the Who's Going website are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If we are going to use Members' or other users' personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, we will notify those Members and users via email or by placing a prominent notice on our website.
Invite a Friend
If a Member elects to use our "Invite" feature to invite a friend to become a Member of the Who's Going service, we ask them for the friend's email address. Who's Going will automatically send the friend an email inviting them to join the site. Who's Going will never sell these email addresses or use them to send any other communication besides invitations and invitation reminders.
Security
The Who's Going account of every Member is password-protected. Who's Going takes every precaution to protect the information of the Members, as well as information collected from other users of the Who's Going website. We use industry standard measures to protect all information that is stored on our servers and within our database. We limit the access to this information to those employees who need access to perform their job function such as our customer service personnel. If you have any questions about the security at our website, please contact us.

Third Party Advertising
The ads appearing on this Web site are delivered to Members by our Web advertising partners. Our Web advertising partners may use cookies. Doing this allows the ad network to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement. In this way, ad networks may compile information about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked on. This information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. Who's Going does not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed on the computer of any Member or other user of the Who's Going website by the third-party ad servers or ad networks.
