COOKIES POLICY

VENUEHORN, INC. ("VENUEHORN," "we," "us," or "our") believes in being clear and open about how we use your information. This Cookies Policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies.

How We Use Cookies

We or our third-party service providers may use cookies and other tracking technologies (including browser cookies, pixels, beacons, mobile application identifiers, and Adobe Flash technology) to help us recognize you across our website, www.venuehorn.com ("Site"), and our products and services through mobile and other applications ("Services"), improve your experience, increase security, measure use and effectiveness of our Services, and serve advertising.

By continuing to use our Site or Services, you are agreeing to the use of cookies and similar technologies for the purpose we describe in this Cookies Policy.

What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small file that is placed onto your device and that is managed by your browser. Cookies were designed for websites to remember information (such as items in a shopping cart) and enable our Site or Services to function. For example, cookies enable us to identify your device and enable you to easily share content on our Site and Services and help us serve relevant ads to you.

When We Use Cookies

We use cookies on our Site and Services, including mobile applications. Any browser loading these Site will receive cookies from us. We may also place cookies in your browser when you visit other third-party websites that host our plugins. However, unless you register with us, cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information about you and therefore cannot be used to identify you personally.

The Types of Cookies We Use

We use two types: persistent cookies and session cookies. A persistent cookie helps us recognize you as a user. After you sign in, a persistent cookie stays in your browser and will be read by our site when you return to the site. Session cookies only last for as long as the session (usually the current visit to a site or a browser session).

How Cookies Are Used for Advertising Purposes

Cookies combined with ad technology such as web beacons, pixels, and anonymous ad network tags help us serve relevant ads to you more effectively. They also help us collect aggregated auditing, research, and reporting for advertisers. Pixels, which are invisible tags placed on our Site, help us understand and improve our service, show you ads, and know when content has been shown to you. Please note that because our pages include advertisements, your web browser may request advertisements and web beacons directly from ad network servers, and these networks can view, edit, or set their own cookies, just as if you had requested a web page from their website.

Although we do not use cookies to track your browsing behavior on a third-party website, we do use aggregate data from third-parties and data from our Site and Services you have used to show you relevant, interest-based advertising. We do not provide any personal information that we collect to advertisers.

How You Can Manage Cookies

You can set your browser to warn you about attempts to place cookies on your computer or limit the type of cookies you allow. However, if you limit the ability of our Site and Services to set cookies, you may limit your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings such as login information. Please note that companies delivering advertisements on our Site may also use cookies or other technologies, and those practices are subject to their own policies.

You can opt out of being targeted by certain third-party advertising companies online by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp) (Open in a new window) and/or Digital Advertising Alliance (www.aboutads.info/choices).

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES POLICY

VENUEHORN, INC. ("VENUEHORN," "we," "us," or "our") operates the website, www.venuehorn.com ("Site"), and provides products and services through mobile and other applications ("Services") that are governed, as applicable, by our Terms of Use.

10.           Protecting Personal Information. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of the information we collect, we deploy a wide range of technical, physical, and administrative safeguards, including: Transport Layer Security (TLS), firewalls, system alerts, and other information system security technologies; housing health data in secure facilities that restrict physical and network access; and regular evaluation and enhancement of our information technology systems, facilities, and information collection, storage, and processing practices. We use reasonable and appropriate administrative, physical, technical, and data security procedures and controls to safeguard your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, misuse, and alteration.

We use third-party service providers to manage credit card and payment processing. These service providers are not permitted to store, retain, or use billing information except for the sole purpose of credit card and payment processing on our behalf. When you enter payment information to be processed by our third-party service providers, we encrypt the transmission of that information using TLS technology and do not store it on our systems.

It is important to remember, however, that no system can guarantee 100% security at all times. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of information stored on or transmitted to or from our Services. We cannot assume responsibility or liability for unauthorized access to our servers and systems. When disclosing any personal information, you should remain mindful of the fact that it is potentially accessible to the public and, consequently, can be collected and used by others without your consent. Accordingly, you should carefully consider if you want to submit sensitive information that you would not want disclosed to the public and should recognize that your use of the Internet and our Site and Services is solely at your risk. You are ultimately responsible for maintaining the secrecy for all your personal information. We have no responsibility or liability to anyone for the security of your personal information transmitted via the Internet.

11.           Linked Websites & Services. Our Site and Services may link to other websites or services operated by our affiliates or third parties, and may carry advertisements or offer content, functionality, newsletters, contests or sweepstakes, or applications developed and maintained by third-parties. We do not exercise control over third-party website or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any such third-parties. Once you leave our Site or Services via a link, enable a third-party service, or click an advertisement, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the third-party's website or service. The fact that we link to a website or present a banner ad or other type of advertisement is not an endorsement, authorization, or representation of our affiliation with that third-party nor is it an endorsement of their privacy or information security policies or practices.

We may also provide social media features on our Site and Services that enable you to share personal information with your social network(s) and to interact with our Site and Services. Depending on the features, your use of these features may result in the collection or sharing of personal information about you. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and settings on the social media site(s) with which you interact.

12.            Privacy of Minors. Our Site and Services requires Users to be at least 18 years of age. Minors and children under the age of 13 are not permitted to use our Site and Services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors or children under the age of 13 or utilize plug-ins or ad networks that collect personal information through child-directed third-party website or online services. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a minor under 13, we shall take steps to promptly delete such information. 

13.            International Users. We are headquartered in the United States. Our Site and Services are intended for Users in the United States and hosted and administrated in the United States or hosted with cloud service providers who are headquartered in the United States and in other countries.

Please be aware that the privacy laws and standards in certain countries may differ from those that apply in the country in which you reside.
