Privacy Policy/ Your California Privacy Rights
Data You Provide Us
Registration Data.
When you register, you provide us with some personal data (including your email address). Occasionally, a co-brand partner or other vendor may provide us with your registration data. You can also tell us more about yourself through your account pages or elsewhere, and we may give you choices about whether or not to publish this data to everyone, your friends, or just yourself. We use registration data for many purposes, including to improve the site, generate reports of aggregated activity that we share with others, target ads to you and send emails to you. Typically, you can turn our emails on and off, but some administrative emails (such as emails about user agreement changes) are mandatory while you have an account.
If you register through a co-branded site, we might share your registration data with the cobrand partner, in which case your data is governed by that entity's privacy policies, not ours.
Interest in Third Party Offerings.
You may have opportunities to express interest in, or register for, third parties' offerings. If you do, we will follow your instructions about providing your data to the third party (and we might retain the data as well).
Surveys.
We treat your survey responses like we treat our other business records.
Accessing Your Records.
The information described in California Business & Professions Code Sec. 1798.83 is available by submitting the required information to

Data We Collect Automatically
As part of our servers' normal operations, we log your IP address and referring/destination URLs. We use this data, as well as other server usage data, to analyze site and user behavior, improve the site, troubleshoot technical problems, resolve disputes, address complaints and generate reports of aggregated activity that we share with others.
We and our third party vendors (such as our web analytics service provider) may use cookies and web beacons to analyze site usage, improve the site, target ads, store your preferences/passwords (if you've registered), personalize your experience (including tracking your site usage to do so) and generate reports of aggregated activity that we share with others. You must accept cookies to access uptake.com as a registered user or to save trips as an unregistered user (if you're unregistered, any saved trips will not be accessible in a subsequent session).
Other Data Collection
We may get data from or about you in other ways not specifically described in this statement. For example, you might contact Customer Service, or we may get a third party complaint about you. We handle this data like other business records.
Data Changes
To the extent we permit you to modify or delete your data or Content, we usually update our live databases immediately, but some data may update more slowly, and some old data may remain indefinitely in our archives and records. Also, we may be unable to propagate changes to partners who receive your data or content.
Contractors/Service Providers
Third party contractors may have access to our databases. Usually these contractors sign a standard confidentiality agreement.
Some of our site's functionality may be operated by third party service providers, and in the course of providing this functionality, these service providers may obtain some of your personal data from you directly or transferred from us to facilitate your usage of this service. Usually we require these providers to use and disclose your personal data only as necessary to perform their services.
Third party ad servers may place or recognize a cookie and, using the cookie or otherwise, collect and use data from your visits to this and other websites to serve ads to you.
Government Relations and Lawsuits
We may share your data with any parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, other entities under a common control or third party acquirers. We expect these other entities will honor this statement. Also, we may allow a potential acquirer or merger partner to review our databases, although we would restrict their use and disclosure of this data during the diligence phase.
Communicating with Other Users
You may not collect (manually or in an automated manner) other users' personal data (including email addresses) from the site.
Children
If you are 12 and under, do not use the site or provide any data to us.
Limits on Our Abilities
We use industry-standard security protocols, such as (if and where we think appropriate) firewalls and restrictions on which employees can access user data. However, perfect security does not exist on the Internet.
Amendment
This privacy statement is part of the UpTake user agreement and can be modified in accordance with the amendment procedures described in that document.
We welcome suggestions on how to improve our service for you. Please
email us your feedback - the good, the ugly, the things we should add and what needs to be fixed! We appreciate your input.
