Certain cookies will be used on the Website regardless of whether you are logged in to your account or not.

This information is used for internal purposes so that we can improve site content, services and product offerings. The statistics that are collected do not contain any personal information and cannot be used to gather such information.
Information
Regarding Third Party Cookies
The Website uses Google
AdWords and Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by
Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”,
which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website
analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the
cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will
be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United
States. Google will use this information for the purpose of
evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website
activity for website operators and providing other services relating
to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this
information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where
such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google
will not associate your IP address with any other data held by
Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the
appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you
do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of the
Website. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data
about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out
above.
The Website may use third parties such as network
advertisers to serve advertisements on the Website and may use
traffic measurement services to analyze traffic on the Website.
Network advertisers are third parties that display advertisements
based on your visits to the Website and other websites you have
visited. Third-party ad serving enables us to target advertisements
to you for products and services in which you might be interested.
The Website’ third party ad network providers, the advertisers, the
sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may themselves set and
access their own cookies and other technologies on your Computer and
track certain behavioral information regarding users of your Computer
via a Device Identifier. These third party cookies and other
technologies are set to, among other things: (a) help deliver
advertisements to you that you might be interested in; (b) prevent
you from seeing the same advertisements too many times; and (c)
understand the usefulness to you of the advertisements that have been
delivered to you. Note that any images (or any other parts of a web
page) served by third parties in association with third party cookies
may serve as web beacons, which enable third parties to carry out the
previously described activities. Third party cookies, web beacons,
and other third party technologies are governed by each third party’s
specific privacy policy, not this one. You may wish to visit
www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp,
which provides information regarding the practice of behavioral
tracking by Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) members,
and your choices regarding having this information used by these
companies, including the “opt-out” procedures of NAI
members. Opting out of one or more NAI members only means that those
NAI members will no longer be able to deliver targeted content and/or
ads to you, which will affect this and other web sites, but does not
mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads. In
addition, opting out may still allow the collection of usage data for
certain purposes (e.g., research, analytics and for internal online
services operation purposes). Also, if your browsers are configured
to reject cookies when you visit this opt-out page, or you
subsequently erase your cookies, use a different computer or change
web browsers, your NAI opt-out may not, or may no longer, be
effective. Additional information is available on the NAI’s web site
accessible by the above link.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Links to Other
Sites
The Website has links to other websites whose
privacy policies may differ from ours. Wild in the City is not
responsible for the privacy practices of these other websites. Once
you link to another site, you are subject to the privacy policy of
the new site.

The
features, promotions and other aspects of the Website requiring
personally identifiable information are not intended for children. We
do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from
children under the age of thirteen (13). If you are a parent or
guardian of a child under the age of thirteen (13) and believe he or
she has disclosed personally identifiable information to us, please
contact us at info@WildintheCity.org.uk. A parent or guardian of a
child under the age of thirteen (13) may review and request deletion
of such child’s personally identifiable information as well as
prohibit the use thereof.
Analytics
Who we share your data with
Sharing and
Protecting Information
When you sign up for or use our
services, you voluntarily give us certain information. This can
include your name, profile photo, posts, comments, email address you
used to sign up, and any other information you provide us. Wild in
the City does not sell, rent or license your personal information but
we may disclose anonymous aggregate information (example the number
of visitors to our site or to a certain pages) to third parties such
as our advertisers or business partners. In the event that Wild in
the City merges with or is acquired by another business entity we may
share some or all of your information with the new entity in order to
continue to provide you with our products and services.
If you
send us an e-mail with questions or comments, we may use your
personally identifiable information to respond to your questions or
comments, and we may save your questions or comments for future
reference. For security reasons, we do not recommend that you send
non-public personally identifiable information, such as passwords,
social security numbers or bank account information, to us by e-mail.
Further, we may send you e-mail under the following circumstances:
(a) if you request a particular service or sign up for a feature that
involves e-mail communications; (b) if it relates to purchases you
have made with us (e.g., product updates, customer support, etc.);
(c) if we are sending you information about our other products and
services; (d) if you consented to being contacted by e-mail for a
particular purpose; (e) if you send us an e-mail, post information on
the Website (i.e., a blog) or otherwise submit information to us
electronically, we may e-mail you to follow-up or otherwise
communicate with you with respect thereto; (f) to provide you legal
notices or notices with respect to your use of the Website; or (g) to
otherwise facilitate a transaction between us. In certain instances,
we may provide you with tools on the Website that will allow you to
set your preferences for receiving e-mail communications from us;
that is, agree to some communications but not others. You may “opt
out” of receiving future commercial e-mail communications from
us by clicking the “unsubscribe” link or following the
other instructions included at the bottom of most e-mails we send, or
as provided below in Section I; provided, however, we reserve the
right to send you transactional e-mails such as customer service
communications.
We have implemented security measures we
consider reasonable and appropriate to protect against the loss,
misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Please be
advised, however, that while we strive to protect your personally
identifiable information and privacy, we cannot guarantee or warrant
the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us online
and are not responsible for the theft, destruction or inadvertent
disclosure of your personally identifiable information. In the
unfortunate event that your “personally identifiable
information” (as the term or similar terms are defined by any
applicable law requiring notice upon a security breach) is
compromised, we may notify you by e-mail (at our sole and absolute
discretion) to the last e-mail address you have provided us in the
most expedient time reasonable under the circumstances; provided,
however, delays in notification may occur while we take necessary
measures to determine the scope of the breach and restore reasonable
integrity to the system as well as for the legitimate needs of law
enforcement if notification would impede a criminal investigation.
From time to time we evaluate new technology for protecting
information, and when appropriate, we upgrade our information
security systems.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
