We collect this information so that we can provide you the service and offer personalized features.

You post User Content on the Site at your own risk. Although we allow you to set privacy options that limit access to your pages, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other Users with whom you may choose to share your pages and information. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that User Content you post on the Site will not be viewed by unauthorized persons.

You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of User Content may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other Users have copied or stored your User Content.

If you choose to use our invitation service to tell a friend about our site, we will ask you for information needed to send the invitation, such as your friend's email address.

Use of information obtained by Laidlist.com

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

Your name, pictures and videos will be available in search results across the Laidlist.com network and those limited pieces of information may be made available to third-party search engines. This is primarily so your friends can find you. People who see your name in searches, however, will not be able to access your full Profile information unless they are not Members of the Website. 

Laidlist.com may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service.

Laidlist.com may use information in your Profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties.

Sharing your information with third parties

Laidlist.com is about sharing information with others while providing you with privacy settings that restrict other users from accessing your information. We allow you to choose the information you provide through Laidlist.com. Our network architecture and your privacy settings allow you to make informed choices about who has access to your information. We do not provide contact information to third-party marketers without your permission. We share your information with third parties only in limited circumstances where we believe such sharing is 1) reasonably necessary to offer the service, 2) legally required or 3) permitted by you. 

We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the Laidlist.com service or using the Laidlist.com name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies. 

We may offer shops or provide services jointly with other companies on Laidlist.com. You can tell when another company is involved in any shop or service provided on Laidlist.com, and we may share customer information with that company in connection with your use of that shop or service. 

When you use Laidlist.com, certain information you post or share with third parties (e.g. a friend or someone in your network), such as personal information, comments, messages, photos, videos, online streaming or other information, may be shared with other users in accordance with the privacy settings you select. All such sharing of information is done at your own risk. Please keep in mind that if you disclose personal information in your Profile or when posting comments, messages, photos, videos, Marketplace listings or other items, this information may become publicly available. 

Laidlist.com takes appropriate precautions to protect our users' information. Your account information is located on a secure server behind a firewall. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number or your password), we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). (To learn more about SSL, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer). Because email and instant messaging are not recognized as secure communications, we request that you do not send private information to us by email or instant messaging services.
