This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties, and their sites, services or applications, that Blackbird RSVP does not own or control (“Third Party Services”), or to individuals that Blackbird RSVP does not employ or manage.

We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of any Third Party Services you access.
What personal information does Blackbird RSVP collect?
The information we gather from users enables them to register for our Services, and allows us to personalize those Services for those users. We collect the following types of information from our users: Name, email address and IP address. Company, job title and phone number are all optional fields that users may choose to enter. Users have the ability to view, edit and delete their account at any given time via the Blackbird RSVP platform.
What communication will my attendees and invitees receive from Blackbird RSVP?
Your invitees will only receive information pertinent to the event(s) you are hosting. We do not send marketing material, promotional offers or communication of any kind that isn’t an invitation or a reminder about the event(s) to which you have invited them.
Additional information collected from you during use:
You may provide us with additional information during use of the Services, such as information about your events, attendees, customers, vendors, contacts, fees and venues. Such information entered into Blackbird RSVP is only viewable by you. By providing email addresses or other information of non-users to Blackbird RSVP, you represent that you have authority to do so. All information that you enter or upload about your non-users will be covered by the Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy and will enable us to provide customized services to you. This information is necessary in order for us to provide the Services to you. We disclaim responsibility for the information of non-users that you provide to us in the course of your use of the Services.
If you send us an email or other message, we may keep your message, email address and contact information to respond to your request. When you register for the Services, you will provide Personal Information, such as your name, username, password, and email address. You acknowledge that this information is personal to you, and by creating an account on Blackbird RSVP, you allow others, including Blackbird RSVP, to identify you. We may use your contact information to send you information about our Services or to market to you. [You may unsubscribe from these messages through instructions on the Site.] To the extent you provide Blackbird RSVP with personal information, you are not anonymous to us. We will collect and record the information you provide to us.
Your payment information and your attendees'/customers' payment information:
In order to collect payments on your behalf from event attendees and customers, and provide payments to you and your vendors, we, through one or more third-party payment processors, collect payment information from you, your attendees and customers, your vendors, and other parties to whom we provide payments on your behalf and from whom we collect payments on your behalf. Such information may include names, addresses, credit card numbers, checking account numbers and PayPal account information. This information is used solely to collect and provide payments related to the Services, and is only stored by Blackbird RSVP’s third-party payment processors. You should review the terms of service and privacy policies of those payment processors. When you register for the Services, you will provide Personal Information, such as your name, username, password, and email address. You acknowledge that this information is personal to you, and by creating an account on Blackbird RSVP, you allow others, including Blackbird RSVP, to identify you.

We will collect and record the information you provide to us.
Your content:
Through your use of the Services, you may provide us with content, such as branding and logos, for use along with your use of the Services. We will use and store this content only pursuant and related to your use of the Services.
Personal information collected automatically:
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our Services. Blackbird RSVP automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, cookie information, and the page you requested.
Generally, our Services automatically collect usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our site and its components, similar to TV ratings that indicate how many people watched a particular show. Blackbird RSVP may use this data in aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure, but not in a manner that would identify you personally. This type of aggregate data enables us to figure out how often individuals use parts of the Services so that we can improve the Services and make them as appealing to as many users as possible. As part of this use of information, we may provide aggregate information, not information about you personally, to our partners about how our customers, collectively, use the Site. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners also understand how often people use their services and our Services, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal online experience.
Email communications:
We may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us if your computer supports this type of program. We use this confirmation to help us make emails more interesting and helpful and improve our service. If you do not want to receive email or other mail from us, please indicate your preference during the registration process, by making a modification on your account settings page.
What about cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our site are visited and by how many people. Blackbird RSVP cookies do not collect Personal Information, and we do not combine the general information collected through cookies with other Personal Information to tell us who you are or what your screen name or email address is.
Most browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. We strongly recommend that you leave the cookies activated, however, because cookies enable you to take advantage of some of the most attractive features of our Services.
Ads appearing on the Services may be delivered to users by our advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Blackbird RSVP and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers

Information to any third party ad network:
To increase the effectiveness of ad delivery, we may include a file, called a web beacon, from an ad network within the Service. The web beacon allows the ad network to provide anonymized, aggregated auditing, research and reporting for advertisers. Web beacons also enable the ad networks to serve ads to you when you visit other websites. Because your web browser must request these advertisements and web beacons from the ad network’s servers, these companies can view, edit or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their site.
Sharing of your personal information using the services:
Blackbird RSVP will not share your Personal Information with any other users of the Services unless you so request explicitly, either in writing, or through use of applicable features of the Services.
Will Blackbird RSVP share any of the personal information it receives?
Personal Information about our users is an integral part of our business. We neither rent nor sell your Personal Information to anyone. We may share your Personal Information only as described below.
In General: We do not use your Personal Information without your consent. However, we do combine information that we receive about you (such as gender, age, geographic location, etc.) with information about your events and activities on the Site and the Services to identify trends and other statistical information. We may use this anonymous data to provide third parties with statistics that might be relevant to the marketing and sale of their goods and services.
Non-Private or Non-Personal Information: For clarity, we may share or disclose your non-private, aggregated or otherwise non-personal information with advertisers, service providers, and other persons with whom we conduct business. Conversely, these advertisers, service providers and other persons may share with us non-private, aggregated or otherwise non-personal information about you that they have independently developed or acquired.
Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control: In certain situations, businesses with whom Blackbird RSVP becomes affiliated may sell items or provide promotions to you through the Services. In other situations, Blackbird RSVP may provide services, or sell products jointly with affiliated businesses. You can easily recognize when an affiliated business is associated with your transaction, and we will share your Personal Information that is related to such transactions with that affiliated business, if you have agreed to be solicited by marketing partners.
Agents: We employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you. Unless we tell you differently, Blackbird RSVP’s agents do not have any right to use Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us. You hereby consent to our sharing of Personal Information for the above purposes.
Communication in response to User Content: As part of the Services, you will receive from Blackbird RSVP email and other communications. You acknowledge and agree that by availing yourself of the Services, you allow Blackbird RSVP to send you email and other communication that it determines in its sole discretion relate to your use of the Services.
Business Transfers: In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if Blackbird RSVP, or substantially all of its assets, were to be acquired, or in the unlikely event that Blackbird RSVP goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, customer information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Blackbird RSVP may continue to use your Personal Information as set forth in this policy.
Protection of Blackbird RSVP and Others: We may release Personal Information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with that law; enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Blackbird RSVP, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
With Your Consent: Except as set forth above, you will be notified when your Personal Information may be shared with third parties, and will be able to prevent the sharing of this information.
What personal information can I access and change?
You can access any Personal Information that you provide to Blackbird RSVP, through your account settings. To the extent information appears to be missing from your account settings pages, you may contact us at [info@blackbirdrsvp.com] in order to inquire about the missing information. You will be able to, either through the Services or through contact with our customer support representatives, modify most of the Personal Information you provide to us, except for information relating to transactions you have participated in through Blackbird RSVP that have already taken place.
Is personal information about me secure?
Your Blackbird RSVP account Personal Information is protected by a password for your privacy and security. You need to prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account.
Blackbird RSVP endeavors to ensure that user account information is kept private. However, Blackbird RSVP cannot guarantee the security of user account information. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time.
The Services may contain links to other websites. Blackbird RSVP is not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices on other websites. When linking to another website, you should read that website’s privacy policy. This Privacy Policy only governs information collected on the Site and the Services.
Deleting your account:
Should you ever decide to delete your Blackbird RSVP account, you may do so by contacting us at [info@blackbirdrsvp.com] or by clicking on the “delete your account” link on your account settings pages. If you terminate your account, your profile will be removed from the site and deleted from Blackbird RSVP’s servers. Because of the way we maintain Blackbird RSVP, such deletion may not be immediate, and residual copies of your profile information or posts may remain on backup media. Even after your account is terminated, Blackbird RSVP may retain and use certain data contributed by you, such as your transaction history, indefinitely.
What choices do I have?
As stated previously, you can always opt not to disclose information to use, even though it may be needed to take advantage of certain aspects of the Services.
In certain circumstances, you are able to add or update certain information on pages as described in the “What Personal Information Can I Access” section above. When you update information, however, we may maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records.
You can delete your account via your account settings page. Please note that Blackbird RSVP will need to verify that you have the authority to delete the account, and some information may remain in our records after deletion of your account.
If you do not wish to receive email or other mail from us, please indicate your preference during the registration process, by making a modification on your account settings page. Please note that if you do not want to receive legal notices from us, such as this Privacy Policy, those legal notices will still govern your use of the Service, and you are responsible for reviewing such legal notices for changes.
Changes to this Privacy Policy:
Blackbird RSVP may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is used. If we make changes in the way we use Personal Information, we will notify you by posting an announcement on our Service or sending you an email. Users are bound by any changes to the Privacy Policy when he or she uses the Service after such changes have been first posted.
