When you enter Ridezilla.Com we collect your browser type and IP address. This information is gathered for all Ridezilla.Com visitors. In addition, we store certain information from your browser using "cookies." A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. We use session ID cookies to confirm that users are logged in. These cookies terminate once the user closes the browser. By default, we use a persistent cookie that stores your login ID (but not your password) to make it easier for you to login when you come back to Ridezilla.Com. You can remove or block this cookie using the settings in your browser if you want to disable this convenience feature.

When you use Ridezilla.Com, you may form relationships, send messages, perform searches and queries, and transmit information through various channels. We collect this information so that we can provide you the service and offer personalized features. In most cases, we retain it so that, for instance, you can return to view prior messages you have sent or easily see your friend list. When you update information, we usually keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable reversion to the prior version of that information.

If you post personally identifiable information in areas of the site accessible to other users, you should be aware that such information can be read, collected, or used by other users of these forums, and could be used improperly to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these forums or for others’ misuse of such information. Any misuse or improper collection of information provided on Ridezilla.Com is a violation of the Ridezilla.Com Terms of Service and should be reported through our contact page.

Your friend may contact us at info@Ridezilla.Com to request that we remove this information from our database.

Use of Information Obtained by Ridezilla.Com

When you register with Ridezilla.Com, you create your own profile and privacy settings. Your profile information, as well as your name, email and photo, are displayed to people in the networks specified in your privacy settings to enable you to connect with people on Ridezilla.Com. We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by Ridezilla.Com that we think you may find valuable.

Profile information is used by Ridezilla.Com primarily to be presented back to and edited by you when you access the service and to be presented to others permitted to view that information by your privacy settings. In some cases where your privacy settings permit it (e.g., posting comments or critiques), other Ridezilla.Com users may be able to supplement your profile.

Ridezilla.Com will send you only service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service.

Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive them, you have the option to deactivate your account.

Ridezilla.Com may use information in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as aggregating. We believe this benefits you. You can know more about the world around you and, where there are advertisements, they're more likely to be interesting to you. For example, if you put a favorite movie in your profile, we might serve you an advertisement highlighting a screening of a similar one in your town. But we don't tell the movie company who you are.
