Online User Activity, Cookies and Information Collected by Other Automated Means

Cookies are a commonly-used web technology that allow websites to store and retrieve certain information on a user’s system, and track users’ online activities. We and our service providers may collect information about your use of our Services by such automated means, including but not limited to cookies, pixels, SDKs and other similar technologies.

Cookies and similar technologies can help us automatically identify you when you return to our website or app. Cookies help us review website traffic patterns and improve the website, such as determining the popularity of various Services. We can also use such information to deliver customized content and advertising to users of the Services whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

When you use the Services, the information we may collect by automated means includes, for example:

  • Usage Details about your interaction with our Services (such as the date, time, and length of visits, and specific pages or content accessed during the visits, search terms, frequency of the visits, referring website addresses);
  • Device Information including the IP address and other details of a device that you use to connect with our Services (such as device type and unique device identifier, operating system, browser type, mobile network information, and the device's telephone number);
  • Stored information you affirmatively provide the Services with access to, such as pictures, video and contacts stored on your device; and
  • Location information where you choose to provide the Services with access to real-time information about your device’s location.

If a user does not want information collected through the use of cookies, most browsers allow the visitor to reject cookies, but if you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features our Services provide. We may share limited identifiers and device activity obtained via cookies or other such tools with our advertisers and affiliates, where permitted by law.

How We Use Information We Collect

We may use the information we obtain about you for purposes allowed by applicable laws, including:

  • Provide our Services to you (account creation and management, identity verification, venue access, payments, security and safety), respond to your requests, questions and comments, and provide customer support;
  • To provide a personalized experience (including with MILA, such as recommendations for people, events, dining, wellness, workspaces, and stays) and engagement-based systems (e.g., impact/ecosystem scoring) designed to enhance experiences and recommendations, but not to deny any service;
  • For marketing or promotional activities, and to tailor the content we may display to you through our Services and communications, including advertising of products and services that may be of interest to you;

We may also use or share information in an anonymized or otherwise aggregated manner for many purposes such as research, analysis, AI training, modeling, marketing, and advertising, as well as improvement of our Services.

Use of AI Technology

In connection with our Services we may train and use MILA or other AI tools with user information and content for certain business purposes, such as to analyze and tailor user experiences and activities, to improve the efficiency, quality, and speed of our business operations, to support communications with customers (such as a chatbot), to generate business content, and to provide more personalized experiences and marketing, but our Services don’t use AI tools in any manner that could be expected to negatively impact customers in a material or unlawful manner. For example, MILA uses algorithms to generate suggestions and coordinate experiences, but users remain in control and can accept, modify, or ignore recommendations at any time. MILA does not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects (e.g., credit, employment, or housing decisions).

Online Advertising

We may serve advertisements, and allow third parties to serve advertisements, through our Services. These advertisements are sometimes targeted and served to particular users and may come from third party organizations called “ad networks.” Ad networks can include a number of third party ad servers, ad agencies, ad technology vendors and research firms. Advertisements served through our Services may be targeted to users who fit a certain general profile category, which may be inferred from information you provide to us or, based on your website or mobile app usage patterns, or based on your activity on other website or online services as may be available to the ad networks.

How We Share Your Information

We will not disclose your personal information to third parties without your consent, except in the following circumstances, as permitted by law.

  • If you voluntarily share or submit any User Content including contact information (e.g., name), content (e.g., picture), or commentary (e.g., forums, message boards, chats) for posting through our Services, or link it to any social media platforms, that post and any information associated with it may become available to the public. For example, certain basic profile information may be accessible to all users, and other information may be made accessible only between users who mutually-accepted a connection. Although content or information you post through the Services may be intended for a single other user, for a particular group of users, or for all users, please be aware that we do not control how users may use content they receive, and any content or information you share with another user may be disclosed to other parties or made public. Please review the configurations we make available through the Services to further understand what information or content may be disclosed to other users. We are not responsible for any content or information you share with another user through the Services. See our Terms of Use for more information about how we may use User Content.
  • We may share your information with service providers that we believe need the information to perform a technology, business, or other professional function for us (examples include IT services, AI tools, maintenance and hosting of our Services, payment processors (if applicable), marketing partners, and other vendors). We only provide such vendors with information so they can perform their required functions on our behalf.
  • We may share your information with operating partners, such as hotels, clubs, and event hosts to deliver your bookings and experiences. When you direct us to facilitate such bookings and experiences on your behalf, you authorize us to share your information with such operating partners as necessary, and they may use such information subject to their own posted policies and legal requirements.
  • We also may disclose information about you (i) if we are required to do so by law or legal process, (ii) when we believe disclosure is necessary to prevent harm or financial loss, (iii) in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual fraudulent or illegal activity; or (iv) under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of our staff, users or the public.
  • We reserve the right to transfer the information we maintain in the event we sell or transfer all or a relevant portion of our organization or assets. If we engage in such a sale or transfer, we will make reasonable efforts to direct the recipient to use your personal information in a manner that is consistent with this Policy.
  • We may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your information (e.g., e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. Instead, we may share anonymous data with trusted partners to help perform statistical analysis, and then we would send you an email, postal mail, or other communication on their behalf.

Note that we do not share your text message program enrollment or consent with third parties for their own purposes.

Where appropriate, we will limit sharing of your information in accordance with the choices you have provided to us and applicable law.
