Firespotter, LLC ("Firespotter", aka “NoshList”, "we", "us", "our") owns and operates the websites www.nosh.com/list (the "Site" or the "Service"). We consider your privacy and the security of your personal information to be very important. We appreciate your trust in maintaining the security of your personal information, and we want you to know what information we collect and why. Throughout this Privacy Policy, we make reference to your Personally Identifiable Information ("PII") that we collect. This denotes information about you as an individual, such that your identity can be reasonably ascertained. Your name, home address and home telephone number are examples of PII. There occur certain interactions within the Sites, such as choosing to receive email updates, for which we collect information necessary to undertake such action (e.g. name and email address). If you prefer not to disclose PII, you can still enjoy other areas of the Sites, however we may collect additional information that is not personally identifying ("Non-PII"). "Cookies" and your Internet Protocol (IP) Address are examples of Non-PII, and they are discussed in further detail below. By the Sites or using the Service, you accept the practices set forth in this Privacy Policy. Please read it carefully before using the Service. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, you may not access or otherwise use the Sites. The Sites are also subject to the Terms of Service.
We receive and store information you give us when you visit the Sites. You provide such information when you search, post, email us or otherwise communicate with the Service. For example, we collect information when you: provide information in Your Account / Profile; send us email requests for products or communicate with us by email for any auxiliary purpose; send emails to friends via the Service; complete a questionnaire; provide employer information when opening a professional account, and; utilize Personal Notification Services. You can choose not to provide certain information, but you might not be able to use many of the Sites features. We use the information that you provide us to: fulfill transactions; respond to your requests; improve our Service, and; communicate with you. We DO NOT sell your PII to third parties or mass marketers. Unless you consent to the disclosure of your PII, only we and our affiliates, technical consultants, third-party administrators and other third parties who make our Service available, enhance its functionality, or provide associated services, have access to this information. For example, we may work with agents to analyze data, operate promotions, provide marketing assistance, and/or provide customer service. They have access to information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. From time to time, we may collect general, non-personal, statistical information (i.e. Non-PII) about the use of the Sites. We employ cookies and may use Google Analytics or other similar program or service to gather anonymous information about our users and their interactions with the Sites. Examples include the capture of visitors' IP addresses, computer and connection information such as browser type, version, and time zone setting, how long visitors stay on a specific page, and which hyperlinks, if any, visitors "click" on. We use this information in the aggregate to compile data trends, define most popular areas of interest and otherwise analyze the performance of our Service. Please rest assured that this aggregate data will in no way personally identify you or any other visitors to the Sites. An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web, and can be used to identify your computer. However, when we collect IP addresses and do so in an aggregate fashion, this occurs in a way that does not identify you personally. While using the Service, you might have the option to engage in a live help chat. Should you choose to participate in a live chat, for the purpose of improving our service and assisting you appropriately, the chat is logged and collects information such as your computer environment (browser, platform, language, etc), IP address and Geo Location. While using the Service, you may have opportunities to post information in public forums. An example would be responding to consumer surveys, the results of which are published in the aggregate for all visitors to the Sites to review. Be advised that any information you personally submit, whether PII or Non-PII, is made public and is not subject to this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for any third party's use of PII that you may publicly disclose through our service. Account Creation Should you request a NoshList account, NoshList requires that you submit certain information about you and your venue. NoshList requires this information to create and manage new accounts for restaurant customers. New restaurant customers receive a username and password to access the NoshList services. NoshList adds the email address of new restaurant customers only to a restaurant customer email list. Customers may opt-out of this email list at any time.

We reserve the right to release account and other PII when: we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; at the request of any judicial, administrative or similar proceeding such as a subpoena; to investigate suspected fraud, harassment, physical threats, or other violations of any law, rule or regulation; protect the rights, property, or safety of the Sites, our users, or others, or; to enforce or apply our Terms of Service and other agreements.
As our business continues to grow, we may acquire or sell a business. With such a transaction, customer information generally is one of the transferred assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy. In the event that NoshList or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
