Great Doings
Privacy Policy
It is Great Doings Media, LLC's (hereinafter referred to as "Great Doings") policy to respect the privacy of our users, customers, visitors, and guests (hereinafter,
collectively referred to as "Subscribers"). This policy statement provides information on how Great Doings collects
and uses your personal data.
Great Doings will not sell or otherwise make commercially available any "Personally Identifiable Information" that you
provide to us to third parties (i.e. merchants, advertisers and marketers), other than in aggregate form. Personally
Identifiable Information refers to any information that identifies or can be use to identify, contact or locate the person
that information pertains to. This includes but is not limited to names, addresses, phone or facsimile numbers, e-mail addresses,
financial profiles, social security numbers, credit card information, or other information that is linked to a source wherein
personally identifiable information can be derived. To the extent that other types of information, such as personal profiles,
unique identifiers, biometric information and IP addresses, can be associated with Personally Identifiable Information, then
Great Doings considers that information to personally identifiable. Personally Identifiable Information does NOT include
anonymously collected or demographic information that does not identify the individual user to third parties.
On occasion, Great Doings may ask you to provide Personally Identifiable Information. When you give Great Doings such information, that information is kept on a secure server. Great Doings use the information you provide for
demographic purposes only, so that we can provide you with offers and services that can benefit you. Other reasons Great
Doings collects Personally Identifiable Information include but are not limited to:
- Remember your web browser so that we can offer personalized services to you;
- Save any passwords or preferences, so that you do not have to continually re-enter information each time
you visit its site; and
- Measure traffic patterns. Without Cookies, it is difficult for us to determine which of our
interest groups or services are more popular than others. Once Great Doings knows this, we can launch new services
or modify existing ones.
As a general rule, all web browsers are set up to accept Cookies. You can readjust the settings on your browser to notify you upon
acceptance of a Cookie, or you can refuse Cookies altogether. While Great Doings does not require you to accept Cookies,
some parts of our site may not function properly or will be considerably slower without them.
Please note that other sites also use Cookies. These sites may include those run by Great Doings sponsors, advertisers,
business partners, or affiliates. Great Doings has no access to or control over the Cookies on these sites.
Great Doings bears no responsibility for ant third parties' use of Cookies on their own site. This includes
sites run by Great Doings sponsors, advertisers, business partners, or affiliates, and/or visited while in a Great Doings frame.
Great Doings has no access to or control over how the aforementioned other sites choose to use Cookies.

This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected while on the Great Doings web site. Subscribers should be aware that,
while you are on our web site, you could be directed to another site, either in a frame or in entirety. Please be aware that Great
Doings is not responsible for the privacy practices of other web sites. Subscribers are strongly encouraged to review the

If you wish to subscribe to our award-winning eNewsletter, please be aware you will be asked to provide Personally
Identifiable Information. While entering much of this information is not mandatory, Great Doings asks that you provide us with
as much information as possible, as it aids us in many ways. Subscribers will also occasionally receive information on products,
services or special offers. We send the aforementioned e-mailings to inform our subscribers of interesting events or deals they
can go to or take advantage of. To respect your privacy, we offer the option to be taken off of these lists upon request. Please

Polls, Surveys And Contests |
|
From time to time, the Great Doings web site requests Personally Identifiable Information from Subscribers that wish to
participate in surveys and/or contests. As participation in our surveys and contests is voluntary, subscribers have the
choice of whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested can include but is not limited to contact
information (i.e. name, shipping address, or phone number) and demographic information (i.e. zip code, income or age). Contact
information is typically used to notify contest winners, while information provided in response to a survey is usually used to
help us learn what our subscribers enjoy about the site. All information provided to Great Doings in surveys and/or contests
becomes the property of Great Doings, to be used at our sole and absolute discretion.
|
Sharing Of Information |
Great Doings may share aggregated demographic information with our sponsors, advertisers, business partners and affiliates.
This shared information is not linked to any Personally Identifiable Information that can identify any Subscriber.
Great Doings may also partner with outside companies to provide Subscribers with specific products or services. For example,
an outside vendor may handle credit card processing to bill Subscribers for goods or services they wish to purchase. To the best
of our knowledge, these outside vendors do not share, store, or use any Personally Identifiable Information for any secondary purchases.
We will only share information that is necessary for the outside vendor to provide such goods or services.
|
Security |
The importance of security in protecting information entrusted to us by Great Doings Subscribers is of the utmost concern to us.
We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information to our servers.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while Great Doings strives to
protect your Personally Identifiable Information, WE CANNOT AND DO NOT WARRANT THE SECURITY OF ANY INFORMATION ANY SUBSCRIBER TRANSMITS TO
US, EITHER KNOWINGLY OR UNKNOWINGLY, OR FROM OUR ON-LINE SERVICES OR PRODUCTS. SUBSCRIBERS TRANSMIT SUCH INFORMATION AT THEIR OWN RISK.
Great Doings also endeavors to protect your personal information in the real world. All information provided to us by our
subscribers is restricted in secure servers. Only employees that need the information to perform a certain task (i.e. a billing clerk
or customer service representative) are authorized to access it. Furthermore, we endeavor to keep our employees up-to-date on the latest
in security procedures and privacy practices. Finally, our servers are located in secure locations.
For Subscribers or business partners supplied with an ID or password to access our server, please be advised that you are ultimately
responsible for the security of these items. Use caution when logging onto a publicly used computer, as others can access your Personally
Identifiable Information if you do not log out properly. You cannot divulge your ID or password to any third party without our prior written consent, which we may withhold at our sole and absolute discretion.
|
Opting Out |
|
Information provided to Great Doings by Subscribers who are 13 years of age and over may be used for marketing or promotional
purposes, subject to the aforementioned limitations. In order to help our Subscribers maintain control over their Personally Identifiable
Information and communications directed toward them, Great Doings provides the option of "opting out" of the following services:
receiving weekly newsletter(s), receiving special event announcements, receiving communication from Great Doings about new features
or services offered on our web site, and receiving communications from Great Doings about special offers offered in conjunction with
our business partners or affiliates. Subscribers may opt out of receiving these services at any time. If at any time you wish to
resume receiving any of the aforementioned services, please visit our home page to Edit Your Profile.

Great Doings reserves the right to change, alter, modify, or amend (collectively, "change") these terms at our sole and absolute
discretion. If, at any time, Great Doings decides to use Personally Identifiable Information in a manner other than what has been
described in this Privacy Policy, a notice will be posted on the GreatDoings.com home page for a
reasonable period of time (not to exceed twenty-one (21) days).
