The term “User” refers to a Visitor or a Member. This Privacy Policy applies to the services offered by Vampire.com, including any Vampire.com branded URL and other features (for example, music and video embedded players), and any other features content, or applications offered from time to time by Vampire.com in connection with the Vampire.com website.

Collection and Submission of PII and Non PII on Vampire.com
When Vampire.com collects PII from you it is because you are voluntarily submitting Registration PII to us in order to register as a Member of Vampire.com. Vampire.com may also collect PII from you if you choose to participate in Vampire.com Services activities like sweepstakes, contests, and surveys, because you want us to furnish you with products, services, newsletters, or information, or in connection with content or suggestions you submit to Vampire.com for review.
In addition, Vampire.com collects other non-PII including IP address, aggregate user data, and browser type. This data is used to manage and improve the Vampire.com Services, track usage, and for security purposes.
Vampire.com Members may also choose to provide or store non-PII information in their profiles, including but not limited to date of birth, interests, hobbies, lifestyle choices, groups with whom they are affiliated (schools, companies), videos and/or pictures, private messages, bulletins or personal statements (collectively “Profile Information”). The Profile Information in a Member’s profile is provided at his or her sole discretion.
Vampire.com members can change their Registration PII and Profile Information at anytime and can control how Visitors, other Members, and Vampire.com communicate with then by controlling their account settings, available within the “Edit Profile” portion of their Vampire.com profile.
When you voluntarily provide PII to Vampire.com, we will make sure you are informed about who is collecting the information, how and why the information is being collected and the types of uses Vampire.com will make of the information to the extent it is being used in a manner that differs from what is allowed pursuant to this Privacy Policy.
At the time you provide your PII, Vampire.com will notify you of your options regarding our use of your PII (See “Choice” below). Except as described in this Privacy Policy, Vampire.com will not share your PII with third parties unless you have given Vampire.com permission to do so (See “Use” below).

Vampire.com’s Use of PII
Vampire.com will only use the PII you provide under this Privacy Policy in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If Vampire.com obtains PII from a third party, such as a business partner, our use of that information is also governed by this Privacy Policy.
In order to locate other Vampire.com Members that you may already know in the physical world, Vampire.com allows Users to search for Members using Registration PII (i.e., full name or email address). Vampire.com also allows Users to browse for certain Profile Information in order to help connect with Members (i.e., schools and/or companies where Users may have attended or worked). Vampire.com may also enable Members to publicly display some Registration PII as an element of their Profile Information if they choose to do so via a profile setting under “Edit Profile.” Search engines may index the portion of a Member’s profile (including the Profile Information it contains) that is publicly displayed.
If you have consented to receive promotional materials (e.g., newsletters) or notifications from Vampire.com, Vampire.com may periodically use your email address to send you such materials related to the Vampire.com Services, as applicable. If you want to stop receiving such materials from Vampire.com, you can change your profile settings under “Account Settings,” or follow the unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.
Vampire.com employees, agents and contractors must have a business reason to obtain access to your PII. Vampire.com may share your PII with those who help us manage or provide Vampire.com Services’ information activities (for example, message board administration, order fulfillment, statistical analyses, data processing), or with outside contractors, agents or sponsors who help us with the administration, judging and prize fulfillment aspects of contests, promotions and sweepstakes. These outside contractors, agents or sponsors may temporarily store some information on their servers, but they may only use your PII to provide Vampire.com with a specific service and not for any other purpose. Vampire.com may also provide your PII to a third party in those instances where you have chosen to receive certain information and have been notified that the fulfillment of such a request requires the sharing of your PII. Vampire.com also may share your PII with Affiliated Companies if it has a business reason to do so.
As described above, Vampire.com may customize the advertising and marketing messages you receive on the Vampire.com Website, or may work with outside companies to do so. Your non-PII and/or Profile Information may be shared with these companies so this customization can be accomplished. Vampire.com prohibits these companies from sharing your non-PII and/or Profile Information with any third party or from using it for any other purpose. Anonymous click stream, number of page views calculated by pixel tags, and aggregated demographic information may also be shared with
Vampire.com’s advertisers and business partners.
There may be instances when Vampire.com may access or disclose PII, Profile Information or non-PII without providing you a choice in order to: (i) protect or defend the legal rights or property of Vampire.com, our Affiliated Companies or their employees, agents and contractors (including enforcement of our agreements); (ii) protect the safety and security of Users of the Vampire.com Services or members of the public including acting in urgent circumstances; (iii) protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; or (iv) comply with the law or legal process. In addition, if Vampire.com sells all or part of its business or makes a sale or transfer of all or a material part of its assets or is otherwise involved in a merger or transfer of all or a material part of its business, Vampire.com may transfer your PII to the party or parties involved in the transaction as part of that transaction.

In addition, Vampire.com uses reasonable methods to make sure that PII is accurate, up-to-date and appropriately complete.
Whenever possible, Vampire.com Members may review the Registration PII we maintain about them in our records. We will take reasonable steps to correct any PII a Member informs us is incorrect. If you are a Member, you can view and change your Registration PII, Member preferences and Profile Information by logging into your account and accessing features such as “Edit Profile” and “Account Settings.”
If you ask Vampire.com to stop using your PII, Vampire.com will honor that request while retaining any record of your PII that is necessary to comply with applicable federal, state or local law.
