We built Endclub.com to make it easy to share information with your friends and people around you.

You should have control over your personal information. Endclub.com helps you share information with your friends and people around you. You choose what information you put in your profile, including contact and personal information, pictures, interests and groups you join. And you control the users with whom you share that information through the privacy settings on the My Privacy page.

Use of Information Obtained by Endclub.com
When you register with Endclub.com, you create your own profile and privacy settings. Your profile information, as well as your name and photo (optional), are displayed to all potential visitors of Endclub.com. We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by Endclub.com that we think you may find valuable.
Profile information is used by Endclub.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 to your wall), other Endclub.com users may be able to supplement your profile.
Endclub.com may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. For instance, if a friend sends you a new message or someone posts you a note, you may receive an email alerting you to that fact.
Generally, you may opt out of such emails by editing your profile settings – click ‘Edit Profile’ from your profile page, though Endclub.com reserves the right to send you notices about your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications. Endclub.com may use information in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as aggregating how many people like certain artists or musical genres and personalising advertisements and promotions so that we can provide you Endclub.com. 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 say you like Techno, we might serve you an advertisement highlighting the release of a new Techno album. But we wont tell the advertiser who you are.
Sharing Your Information with Third Parties
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. For example:
• Your Site activities are posted to your friends News Flash space – this includes showing events you have said you are attending, if you have bought tickets, if you have uploaded photos or tagged photos, people you have made friends with and notes you have posted.
• We may provide information to service providers to help us bring you the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate our business, such as to host the service at a co-location facility for servers, to send out email updates about Endclub.com, to remove repetitive information from our user lists, to process payments for products or services, or to provide search results or links (including sponsored links). In connection with these offerings and business operations, our service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a limited time in connection with these business activities. Where we utilize third parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to the Endclub.com-specified purposes.
• 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 Endclub.com service or using the Endclub.com name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies.
• If the ownership of all or substantially all of the Endclub.com business, or individual business units owned by Endclub.com, Inc., were to change, your user information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. In any such transfer of information, your user information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.
