Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Site. You are advised to consult this policy regularly for any changes.
What Information Do You Collect and How Do You Collect It?
At various times, you could be asked to provide information such as your name, email address, contact phone number or other information. Information collected is often defined as being either anonymous or personally identifiable:
- Anonymous Information refers to information that cannot be tied back to a specific individual. For instance, we may know that thousands of people have visited this Privacy Policy, but we do not necessarily know their names, where they live, or their date of birth. What we collect from visits such as this constitutes anonymous information. Some of the individuals who access our Services decline to use the personalization features that are available to them, and therefore those individuals are anonymous to us and the only data we collect about them is anonymous information.
- Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that tells us specifically who you are, such as your name, email address, or phone number. Downloading and using an App may allow the Company to "recognize" you to allow us to personalize our service for you.
How Do You Use Individual Information?
General Use. For BlueprintNYC Clients, we use personal information mainly to provide the Services and contact BlueprintNYC Clients regarding account activities, new version and product offerings, or other communications relevant to the Services. In general, we do not sell or share any personally identifiable information of End Users to any third parties, except, of course, to the applicable BlueprintNYC Client whose event you are attending. If you contact us by email or by filling out a registration form, we may keep a record of your contact information and correspondence, and may use your email address, and any information that you provide to us in your message, to respond to you. In addition, we may use the personal information described above to send you information regarding the Apps and/or the Services.

Anonymous Information
As is true of most apps and web sites, we gather certain information (such as mobile provider, operating system, etc.) automatically and store it in log files. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the app, to track users movements around the app and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may link this automatically-collected data to certain Personally Identifiable Information.
Personally Identifiable Information
If you are a BlueprintNYC Client using our meeting app - generic or custom-labeled for your event - when you register with us via our Web Site to create and manage Events, we will ask you for personally identifiable information, such as your first and last name, company name, email address, billing address, and credit card information. You may review and update the personally identifiable information in your profile by logging in and editing such information in your dashboard. If you decide to delete all of your information we may cancel your account. We may retain an archived copy of your records as required by law or for reasonable business purposes.
In order to use some features of this Service or an App, you may be asked by BlueprintNYC or a BlueprintNYC Client to provide certain personal information (such as your name, company, title, email address, mailing address, and telephone or cell phone number). Providing such information is voluntary. Depending on the services you have chosen to use, some or all of your Personally Identifiable Information may be used by us to provide such services. Personally Identifiable Information may also be provided to intermediaries and third parties who assist us with the Apps. Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, however, we will not rent or sell your Personally Identifiable Information to third parties without your permission.
If you choose to allow an App to collect your location data, such location data will be available to BlueprintNYC or the applicable BlueprintNYC Client. In addition, if you have an account with Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Foursquare or other similar websites (each a "Social Network"), your Social Network identity, including your public picture, may be associated with your location data. Blueprint NYC, LLC is the owner of the information collected through the Service.
