Service Announcements
On rare occasions it is
necessary to send out a strictly service-related announcement to known users of
our site. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance
we might send users who have corresponded with us an email. These
communications are not promotional in nature.

We communicate with users on
a regular basis to answer questions and provide requested services; we reply via
email or phone, in accordance with the users wishes. When these
communications are shared with others, the user's name, email address, or other
personally identifiable information is deleted.

Sharing
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort
to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when
required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is
necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal
process served on our Web site.
Aggregate Information
(non-personally identifiable)
We share aggregated
demographic information with our partners and advertisers. We also share
this information when making presentations to solicit additional partners or
advertisers.
This is never linked to any personally identifiable information.
These are the instances in which we will share users’
personal information:
We DO NOT Share Personal
Information with Third Parties except as required by law, with the following
exception:
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site
requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these
surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice
whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information
typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and
demographic information (such as zip code). Contact information will be used
or shared with the survey/contest sponsors to notify the winners and award
prizes. Anonymous survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or
improving the use and satisfaction of this site. Users’ personally identifiable
information is not shared with third parties unless we give prior notice and
choice. Though we may use an intermediary to conduct these surveys or contests,
they may not use users’ personally identifiable information for any secondary
purposes.
Business Transitions
In the event
AmericanFineDining.com goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being
acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users’ personal
information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.
Users of our site are always
notified when their information is being collected by any outside parties. We
do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether or not they
should proceed with services that require an outside party.
Links
This Web site contains links
to other sites. Please be aware that AmericanFineDining.com is not responsible for
the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware
when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every
Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy
statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Chat Rooms, Message Boards, and Public Forums
Please keep in mind that
whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example on
message boards, through e-mail, or in chat areas - that information can be
collected and used by others. In short, by posting personal information online
that is publicly accessible, you may receive unsolicited messages from other
parties in return.

Web site takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When

protected both online and off-line as described above.
