Privacy Notice
This privacy notice discloses the privacy practices for uencounter.me and all of the directly linked URL's (www.uencounter.com, www.uencounterme.com, www.encountergram.com). This privacy notice applies solely to information collected by this web site. It will notify you of the following:
- What personally identifiable information is collected from you through the web site, how it is used and with whom it may be shared.
- What choices are available to you regarding the use of your data.

Information Collection, Use, and Sharing
We are the sole owners of the information collected on this web site. We only have access to, collect, or store information that you voluntarily post into your uencounter profile, encounter points, inquiries, encountergrams, transactional information, or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.
One of the primary reasons people use uencounter.me is to share information with others. For example, users may create encounter points based on activities or interactions with others at a specific place and time, post details pertaining to that interaction, or encounter, and share with other users or post for open community access. If you are uncomfortable sharing your personal encounter information, you should not post it or you should delete this information. Information posted by you on uencounter.me is open to users you are linked to and other registered users of uencounter.me; unless marked private by user. Encounterpoints entered on the map may be marked "private" and will then be available only to the user who entered the information. Pins designated as "private" will never be offered for viewing or sharing by another user. Registered users may also copy, forward, or save information which may be shared outside of the uencounter.me community. By using uencounter.me, you consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy. Users should exercise care in the level of information provided.
Uencounter.me will periodically initiate emails to users to provide notice of activity related to one or more of your encounter points, inquiries, and/or encountergrams. Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to notify you about related uencounter.me postings, tell you about special offers, new products or services, or changes to this privacy policy.

Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data) that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the web page.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
-
Registration
In order to use this website, a user must first complete the registration form. During registration a user is required to give certain information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact you about the products/services on our site. At your option, you may also provide demographic information (such as gender or age) about yourself, but it is not required.
-
Subscriptions
Basic subscriptions/memberships are available to all registered users at uencounter.me free of charge. Certain features as outlined on the comparison page are offered to premium members and are considered an upgrade from basic membership. Personal information is not necessarily delineated between basic and premium membership and may be viewable by both.
-
Financial Information
All financial information collected for the payment of a premium membership subscription (credit card number, expiration date) is not saved or collected directly by uencounter.me or any of its affiliate entities. All financial transactions are processed through a third-party processor who was selected for their secure and rigid privacy practices. Any information entered for the purpose of completing an upgraded membership is used for billing purposes only. If we have trouble processing a purchase, we'll use the information you provided at registration to contact you.
