About ReferralVille and the Information We Collect

ReferralVille is a peer-to-peer social referral networking site, which matches consumers who have specific services with other consumers who are seeking the same services. To accomplish this, each ReferralVille Member creates his or her own profile, which contains the personal information that the Member chooses to include. This personal information includes, but is not limited to, such things as:

·  Full Name

Other Information submitted by Members to ReferralVille

 ReferralVille also collects Member-submitted account information such as email address, to identify Members and send notifications related to the use of the ReferralVille service.

You should also be aware that Members may reveal other personal information while communicating on other areas of the ReferralVille website, such as user generated ratings and reviews.  This information in turn, might be viewed by other Members or visitors to the ReferralVille website who are not Members.

A LIST OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN EACH PUBLIC PROFILE CAN BE FOUND IN THE REFERRALVILLE TERMS OF USE. PUBLIC PROFILES WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ANY USER OF THE REFERRALVILLE WEBSITE, WHETHER OR NOT THE USER IS A MEMBER.
