Privacy Policy This privacy policy covers all of BarFly. It does not, however, apply to entities that BarFly does not own or control, such as applications and websites linked to BarFly. By using or accessing BarFly, you agree to our privacy practices outlined here. If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy policy, please contact us.

Minimum user age is 18. If you are under age 18, please do not attempt to register for BarFly or provide any personal information about yourself to us. If we learn that we have collected information from a person under age 18, we will delete that information. If you believe that we might have any information from a person under age 18, please contact us.

Information we access When a customer enters a registered bar, we anonymously track them using our facial recognition technology. Our software program detects faces through facial features such as the nose, eyes, mouth, chin and jaw line. The software analyses the facial detection image to attempt to determine the person’s gender and approximate age.

Webcam live streaming from registered bars is also available for our users to view online. Our webcams are installed with facial distortion software so that no recognisable faces are broadcast on our website.

* No facial photos or video are recorded or stored. * No facial mapping metrics are stored. * No streaming video is recorded or stored * No personal information is collected or even attempted to be collected.

Information we receive User Information: When BarFly users decide to optionally sign up for our services they provide us with an email address, a username, and a password. They are also permitted to create a personal profile, including picture, gender, birth date, location, and more.

Content: One of the primary reasons people use BarFly is to share content with others. Examples include when you create your profile, make a comment about a place, share a link, upload a photo. If users do not want us to store metadata associated with content shared on BarFly (such as photos), they must remove the metadata before uploading the content.

Information we collect when users interact with BarFly Site activity information: We track some of the actions users take on BarFly, such vouchers downloaded, links uploaded. Access Device and Browser Information. When you access BarFly from a computer, mobile phone, or other device, we may collect information from that device about browser type, location, and IP address, as well pages visited. Cookie Information. We use “cookies” (small pieces of data we store for an extended period of time on your computer, mobile phone, or other device) to make BarFly easier to use, to make our advertising better, and to protect both users and BarFly. Information we receive from third parties Information from other websites: We may institute programs with advertising partners and other websites in which they share information with us. We may ask registered bars to tell us how our users respond to the ads we showed them. This data sharing, commonly known as “conversion tracking,” helps us measure our advertising effectiveness and improve the quality of the advertisements you see. Sharing information We may contact you with service-related announcements from time to time. You may opt out of all communications except essential updates on your personal account information page. We may include content you see on BarFly in the emails we send to you.

This is entirely at your discretion and we will not provide your information to any other company without your consent. Sometimes we share aggregated information with third parties to help improve or promote our service. But we do so in such a way that no individual user can be identified or linked to any specific action or information.

Remove information Editing your profile: You may change or remove your profile information at any time by going to your profile page and editing your information. Items changed will be updated immediately. Deactivating or deleting your account: When you deactivate an account, no user will be able to see it, but it will not be deleted. We save your profile information in case you later decide to reactivate your account. When you delete an account, it is permanently deleted from BarFly. You should only delete your account if you are certain you never want to reactivate it. Additional No security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other users with whom you share your information. We cannot guarantee that only authorized persons will view your information.

You should report any security violations to BarFly. If the ownership of all or substantially all of our business changes, we may transfer your information to the new owner so that service can continue to operate. In such case, your information would remain subject to the promises made in the pre-existing Privacy Policy. We may change this Privacy Policy pursuant to the procedures outlined in the BarFly Terms of Use. Unless stated otherwise, our current privacy policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account. If we make changes to this Privacy Policy we will notify you by publication here. If the changes are material, we will provide you additional, prominent notice as appropriate under the circumstances.
