We need your help to support our community in Ukraine, at the borders and beyond - NO CONTRIBUTION IS TOO SMALL!
How can I contribute?This Privacy Policy addresses the measures ellgeeBE Corporation ("ellgeeBE," "we" or "us") takes to safeguard the material you share on our platform. Your privacy is of the highest significance to us. As such, you can trust that ellgeeBE will at no time trade, sell, or loan your information to anybody. Any material and/or personal information you decide to share is used to create a more useful, enjoyable experience for you. We can also send you emails about events and news we think you'll find valuable, if you request that we do so. You may discontinue your subscription to our newsletter at any time.
We are dedicated to assembling, preserving and protecting your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, as well as relevant laws, rubrics, and guidelines. This policy is applicable to any personal information gathered by means of ellgeeBE online. Online platforms include, but are not limited to, websites, email, and any other online resource that displays a link to this Privacy Policy. This policy is also applicable to information we assemble from offline means, excluding instances wherein such personal information is combined with personal material we have already collected online. Though our Site may link to their platforms, this Privacy Policy is not applicable to ellgeeBE's third-party online affiliates. This is because we do not regulate any third party's web content or the privacy observances of such resources.
We will collect individually identifiable information about you if and only if you choose to share it to us. We will not distribute any of your personally identifiable information with third party affiliates for their distribution or marketing purposes.
Should you decide to do so, you can navigate our site without exposing any personal information. To enjoy the full benefits of the site, its community, and its many resources, you will have a choice as to whether you would like to provide us with personal data. Users should be conscious, however, that if you should decide not to supply personal material, you may not be capable of using some of the site features. If you decide to supply us with your personal information, we will access this information in exact observance to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Several places on our site require you to give us personal material such as your contact information to gain access. This contact information incudes your name and/or email address, and demographic information, like your date of birth.
When you partake in our interactive areas by posting a review or comment, answering or confirming an event attendance, providing a rating or an answer; your chosen nickname will be posted for everyone else who uses the site to see. If you would like to make posts anonymously, do not register your real name as your nickname so that you won't post any personally identifying information.
ellgeeBE will never reveal any of your private information without your consent. We know how important privacy is in any community - but especially in the LGBTQ community. We will not compromise your safety, privacy, or your trust.
Should you contact us, you may be asked to provide personal information so that we can verify that you are a real person. We therefore may ask you to supply personal information, such as your email, your legal name, or your telephone number. Again, this information will be kept private. We won't post or share it with anyone outside ellgeeBE Corp.
So that we can better understand who is using our services, we may ask you to supply distinctive identifiers that we will store in our record system and use for marketing purposes. We also may use your demographic data to tailor the experience you have while using our site. These data allow us to direct you to site material that, based on your interests, we think you will be interested in. So that we can better serve you and future users by determining which parts of the site generate the most interest, we may carry out statistical studies of your activities and tendencies while using the site.
The ellgeeBE site uses small files stored on your device, called "cookies", to help maintain the site and collect information about online trends amongst its users. The text file in a cookie typically consists of a series of letters and numbers that distinguish your computer from others, but it may also include other information. Our site may also incorporate web beacons or other comparable technologies. Cookies cannot operate as code or be used to deliver viruses or other harmful files. They also do not allow us access to your hard drive. Below, we will describe in greater detail the various reasons why ellgeeBE uses cookies.
You can prevent sites from storing cookies on your computer by blocking cookies in your web browser. You can also remove cookies that have formerly been installed on your web browser. If you should decide to disable cookies, you may be prevented from accessing certain portions of our site and other sites that use them to accommodate your specific interests.
Further, you have the option to set your web browser to allow or block all cookies, to notify you when a cookie is administered, to check a cookie's legitimacy and content and to regularly delete cookies. If you decide to delete cookies stored on your device, any preferences and data dictated by those cookies will be removed from your device and will need to be reconstructed after you turn cookies back on. For more information, you can consult a device manual or type "cookies" in the help section of your browser to retrieve the setup directions.

Since cookies can be employed for many functions, Site users who would like to opt out of behaviorally targeted advertising can decide to allow cookies access to their device, but disable that particular function. Online advertising businesses have created procedures and programs to help preserve their users' privacy. Industry programs such as these incorporate web pages that users can visit to opt out from receiving behaviorally targeted advertisements from all participating companies. These pages include :
Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Consumer Choice Page : http://www.aboutads.info/choices/
Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) Opt-Out Page : http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp

ellgeeBE websites use cookies for several purposes, including :
To save your settings and preferences. For example, we can store sign-in information in a cookie. This will allow your username and password to automatically populate when you visit the ellgeeBE site. This can save you time by allowing you to stay logged in to your ellgeeBE account, if you would like to be.
We are able to store advertising information that targets your unique interests. When we show advertisements in your browser window, we will store cookies on your device so that we can identify it every time we show you an ad. Over time we are able to gather information in regards to the kinds of content and advertisements you, or others who might be using your device, looked at or visited. This information allows us to better select ads that interest you.
Cookies allow us to gather site analytics. We can use data collected by cookies to count how many unique visitors the ellgeeBE site receives each day, or we could use them to advance other cumulative data in regards to our site and services. These data and analytics help our site operate, and help us provide the most personalized service to our users.
Much as ellgeeBE may set cookies when you visit our site, third party affiliates may do so as well. A third party provider may do this because they supply services on ellgeeBE's behalf, such as site analytics. In other cases, however, this may occur because our Site pages include content or advertisements from a third party, including photos, videos, ads or news content provided by alternate ad providers. Because your internet browser communicates with and retrieves content from said third parties' web servers, those third party providers can create and gather information from their own cookies on your device. They can then collect data about your browsing trends across online platforms.
Cookies ellgeeBE commonly uses are provided in the chart below. This list is not comprehensive, but it does exemplify the foremost motives for setting cookies.

ellgeeBE may also include electronic images, called web beacons, on its web pages. Web beacons can deliver cookies on our site, or can be used to count unique, or returning, users who have viewed those pages. Occasionally we incorporate web beacons into our promotional emails and/or newsletters to learn whether or not messages have been opened and clicked. We can then see which users are interacting most frequently with our emails, and establish trends based on that information.
Occasionally, ellgeeBE places web beacons on websites belonging to those companies who advertise with ellgeeBE. This lets us determine how frequently a user's click on an ad on the ellgeeBE platform results in an action or purchase on the advertiser's website.
ellgeeBE's site may, in some instances, include third party web beacons. These web beacons assist us in compiling accumulated data regarding the efficiency of our promotional campaigns or other site operations. These companies can store data about your browsing activities, but we explicitly prohibit third party providers from utilizing web beacons to access or collect information that includes personal identifiers - such as your name and email address.
Although standard cookies and web beacons are the most common, websites can employ other technologies to gather and read information files on your device. In many instances, this is done to understand your inclinations and/or preferences, or to enhance performance and speed by saving some of your files locally. Like standard cookies, however, these technologies can be employed to save a unique identifier for your device, which can then be used to collect information about your online activity. Technologies in this category include Local Shared Objects ("Flash cookies"), Silverlight Application Storage, and HTML5 Local Storage.
Local Shared Objects/"Flash cookies." Sites that utilize Adobe Flash technologies might store data on your device using Local Shared Objects/"Flash cookies". To manage or disable Flash cookies read more at : http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html
