The Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership (“we”, “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting any personal information (“Personal Information”) that you provide to us. We have created this Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) to explain what information we collect about you and what we do with it.  We reserve the right to modify this Policy at any time and without notice, but we will post any new policy here. By using or navigating our website, you acknowledge that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by this Policy or any modified or substituted policy as posted and agree to the collection of your Personal Information as described herein.  If you have any questions regarding this Policy, please contact us at info@flatironnomad.nyc.

What Personal Information We Collect and How It Is Used

In general, you can visit our website without providing us with any Personal Information. However, to use certain features of our websites, such as subscribing to our electronic newsletter or other electronic mailings, participating in our programs and promotions and participating in sweepstakes or other contests that we may sponsor, you must provide us with Personal Information such as your name, email address, street address and telephone number. We generally collect this information on our registration forms when you sign up to receive services from or optionally participate in certain aspects of our website. We may also collect Personal Information that you volunteer to provide in optional online surveys, such as age, gender and income level.

We collect non-personal information, such as IP addresses, browser types and anonymous demographic information (such as ZIP codes), and may use this data for system administration, troubleshooting, and to examine overall traffic trends. Anonymous demographic information may be shared with advertisers and market researchers on an aggregate basis.

We use Personal Information you provide to us to provide you with information about us and some of our partners and third party companies in which you have expressed an interest and to contact you when necessary.

Cookies and Pixels

Our website may use cookies, a small data file stored on your computer, to customize portions of our site to your preferences. While a cookie by itself does not tell us, or anyone else, who you are, what your email address is, or anything else personal, our use of cookies or similar tracking technologies may lead to the collection and/or use of Personal Information about you. If you choose to set your browser to reject all cookies, please understand that you may have limited access to some of the areas and functionalities of our website.

We also may collect certain information automatically from your device, which may be considered Personal Information under applicable data protection laws. In addition, we may use technological equivalents of cookies, including social media pixels. These pixels allow social media sites to track visitors to outside websites so as to tailor advertising messages users see while visiting that social media website. We reserve the right to use these pixels in compliance with the policies of the various social media sites.

Some content or applications, including advertisements, on our website are served by third-parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers, and application providers. These third parties may use cookies alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use our website. The information they collect may be associated with your Personal Information or they may collect information, including Personal Information, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content. We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly.

Opting Out

If at any time you wish to stop receiving correspondence for which you have previously registered, simply follow the unsubscribe directions in our correspondence to you. In addition, you may request removal of your Personal Information from our database at any time by sending an email to info@flatironnomad.nyc or regular mail to Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership, 230 Fifth Avenue, Suite 1511, New York, NY 10001.

Disclosure of Personal Information to Others

In some cases, and only with your advance permission, we will share Personal Information with third party companies who may offer products or services in which we believe you may be interested.

We will not sell, rent, or share your Personal Information without your permission and will treat it in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, except that we reserve the right to share such information in only the following limited ways:

We share your information with certain third-party vendors who help us with fulfillment of site administration, and promotion and administration of contests on our website. These vendors are contractually obligated to use this information for the sole purposes of assisting us with a specific project.

Additionally, we may need to disclose your Personal Information when required by law and where we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or legal process served on us or our website.

Surveys, Contests and Sweepstakes

From time-to-time, we may provide you the opportunity to participate in surveys, contests or sweepstakes on our site. If you participate, we may request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys, contests or sweepstakes is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Only individuals age 18 or over are eligible to participate.

As part of the surveys, contests or sweepstakes, we will typically request your contact information. We use this information to notify contest winners and award prizes, to monitor site traffic or personalize the site (in the case of anonymous information collected in surveys), and to send participants email newsletters or alerts.

We may use a third-party service provider to conduct these surveys, contests or sweepstakes; that company will be prohibited from using our users’ personally identifiable information for any other purpose. We will not share the personally identifiable information you provide through a contest or survey with other third parties unless we give you prior notice and choice.

As a service to you, our website may contain banner advertisements and links to other third party websites. By clicking on an advertisement or other link, you will be redirected off our website and onto third party websites.

In addition, we may offer you the option to sign-up for email offers and promotions from retailers, restaurants and other businesses in the District. This option is offered free-of-charge as a service to the neighborhood.
