Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains how WhatsHappening treats Personal Information that WhatsHappening collects and receives, including Personal Information related to your use of the WhatsHappening service. This policy applies to all Personal Information collected or submitted on the WhatsHappening site.
The term'Personal Information' means information about an individual that is personally identifiable and not publicly available, such as one's name, contact details and credit card information.
Collection of Personal Information
You may choose to provide us with Personal Information through this website. Such information, including your name, email address, date of birth, zip code and other personal information, may be requested when you register with WhatsHappening, use the WhatsHappening service or visit the website(s) of WhatsHappening or its affiliates, advertisers, sponsors or other business partners. To subscribe to the WhatsHappening service and complete transactions through WhatsHappening, you must provide additional Personal Information for billing purposes, including credit card or other billing and payment information.
If you choose not to provide requested Personal Information, you will not be able to register with the WhatsHappening service, subscribe to the WhatsHappening service, make any purchases or other transactions, obtain certain services or receive certain benefits that require such disclosure.
WhatsHappening is the sole owner of all Personal Information provided to it. In the event WhatsHappening is acquired by, is merged into or is otherwise succeeded by another company, WhatsHappening reserves the right to transfer its ownership of such Personal Information to such other company without notice to you. In the event of such a transfer, the privacy policy of the other company, to the extent it has one, shall supplant WhatsHappening's policy.
Use of Personal Information
WhatsHappening will not rent, sell, or share your Personal Information to any unrelated third party except as described below. WhatsHappening may use your Personal Information for the following purposes:
- To verify your user status, including without limitation by confirming that you are a WhatsHappening subscriber, that you have paid for particular content that requires payment or that you satisfy other conditions concerning particular content (e.g., geographic or time restrictions);
- To process your transactions, including without limitation for billing purposes;

- To conduct research and surveys and aggregate data for the purpose of reporting trends to WhatsHappening and its business partners.
WhatsHappening reserves the right to display to you targeted advertisements of its own or those of third parties based on your Personal Information. You acknowledge that even if WhatsHappening does not give an advertiser your Personal Information, the advertiser may assume that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the advertisement by virtue of your interaction with (e.g., clicking the advertisement) or viewing of the advertisement.
We provide Personal Information to trusted business partners that work on behalf of or with WhatsHappening under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your Personal Information to help WhatsHappening communicate with you about offers from WhatsHappening and our marketing partners. Our business partners will be required to use any Personal Information we provide them only for that purpose.
We sometimes use the aggregated data that we collect (independent of any specific Personal Information) for research and commercial purposes. This information includes what areas our users visit most frequently and what services they access most often. This information helps us develop a better site that is more useful and accessible to you.
Opt Out
If you do not wish to receive offers or other communications from our business partners, you can "opt out" by selecting "no" in response to the last registration question which states that you wish to receive information from trusted WhatsHappening sponsors. You can also edit your WhatsHappening Account Information, including your marketing preferences, at any time and may opt out of receiving promotional email communications in that fashion. You also have the ability to delete your WhatsHappening account by visiting our Account Deletion page, but after deleting your account, you will not have access to WhatsHappening features that require payment unless you re-subscribe.
We reserve the right to send you announcements relating to the WhatsHappening site or service, which may contain important information about the site or service, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them.
Cookies
Like other major websites, WhatsHappening uses cookies to track traffic patterns on our website and to provide users with a customized experience when using our products and services. A cookie is a text file that our website transfers to your computer's hard drive for record-keeping purposes and to enhance the quality of your visit to our website. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.
Most Internet browsers are set up to automatically accept cookies. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, but doing so may limit system performance and may even cause certain features of the website to malfunction or not to work at all. You agree that WhatsHappening shall not be liable to you for any such malfunction or limited system performance.
WhatsHappening reserves the right to set and access WhatsHappening cookies on your computer and to authorize the advertisers on the WhatsHappening site to set and access their cookies on your computer. WhatsHappening treats any Personal Information that may be contained in cookies with the same confidentiality as other Personal Information you provide to us. Other companies' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this policy.
Disclosures Required by Law and Investigations
We reserve the right to disclose your Personal Information in order to comply with any subpoenas, court orders or other legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
We reserve the right to use and disclose your Personal Information in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, infringement of the intellectual property of WhatsHappening or a third party, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person or violations of WhatsHappening's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
Security and Confidentiality of Personal Information
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure the correct use of Personal Information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures which we regard as appropriate to safeguard and secure the Personal Information we collect online.
We use encryption technology to protect the security of the information collected and transmitted on our website. When our registration and order forms ask users to enter sensitive Personal Information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software currently available in the industry, which is known as SSL.
In addition, your WhatsHappening Account Information is password-protected for your protection. After a successful login, you can change your password at your discretion. WhatsHappening recommends that you choose a password that would be difficult to guess, that you change your password periodically and that you keep your password secret (including by not allowing friends or family members to use your account and password). You acknowledge that you are responsible for selecting a password and maintaining its secrecy. Under no circumstances will WhatsHappening be liable to you or any third party for your failure to maintain the secrecy of your password.
No Liability for Acts of Third Parties
Although we will use reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of the Personal Information you submit, transmissions made by means of the Internet cannot be made absolutely secure. WhatsHappening will have no liability for disclosure of information and data you submit to us due to errors in transmission, unauthorized acts of third parties or through the use of third party cookies, programs, routines, viruses or other devices on your computer.
Once you leave the WhatsHappening site, including by clicking on links on our site, you will be subject to the privacy policies of third party website operators and other companies which may differ significantly from this policy. We encourage you to be aware of when you leave the WhatsHappening site and to read the privacy policies of each website that collects information from or about you.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
WhatsHappening may update this policy from time to time. We reserve the right to notify you about changes in the way we treat Personal Information by sending a notice to one or more of the email addresses specified in your WhatsHappening account or by placing a notice on the WhatsHappening site in a manner and for a period of time that we determine in our sole discretion.
