PRIVACY POLICY

This policy is effective as of January 16th, 2020.

Punchbowl, Inc. is committed to protecting your privacy and providing you with
the most powerful and safe online experience. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”)
applies to you, as an individual, when you use any of Punchbowl’s services, our
website located at https://www.punchbowl.com, our mobile applications, or any of
our other web-based or mobile services or offerings (collectively, our
“Services”). This publication intends to help you understand how personal
information you provide to Punchbowl is collected and used, so you can make
informed decisions when using our Services.

By using Punchbowl, you consent to the data practices described in this
statement. Notices of all changes that materially affect ways that your
personally identifiable information may be used or shared will be posted in
updates to our privacy policy. If you continue to use Punchbowl and our Services
after these notices of changes have been posted to the site, you hereby provide
your consent to the changed practices.

If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact:
privacy@punchbowl.com.


PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

In order to become a Punchbowl member you must first register for our service.
During this registration process you are required to provide personally
identifiable information, such as your e-mail address and name. Once you are a
member you may provide additional information for your member profile such as
home address, zip code, date of birth, gender, preferences, interests and
favorites. Providing additional information beyond what is required at
registration is optional, but will allow you to better identify yourself and
find services at Punchbowl.

Punchbowl, Inc. does not solicit, or knowingly collect and store personal
information from anyone under the age of 16. Punchbowl, Inc. will immediately
remove and delete any and all information from anyone under 16 if notification
is provided that a person under 16 registered at Punchbowl. If you have a reason
to believe information was collected about a child under 16, please contact
privacy@punchbowl.com.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is
automatically collected by Punchbowl, Inc. This information can include: your IP
address, browser type, domain names, access times, pages visited, features used
and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by Punchbowl, Inc.
for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to
provide general statistics regarding use of Punchbowl.

In order to invite others to view your Punchbowl page, you must provide
Punchbowl, Inc. with their email addresses or phone numbers. In order to send
messages to your guests through Punchbowl, we require that you submit to
Punchbowl current, valid email addresses or phone numbers for your guests. When
you send messages to your guests, we collect and retain the email addresses,
phone numbers, or other pertinent contact information of those persons to whom
you send the message. Even though we retain contact information about your
guests, Punchbowl, Inc. will not use these email addresses to send promotional
communications, newsletters, or service announcements without your explicit
permission, nor will we intentionally sell or otherwise disclose guest contact
information that you submit to any third party. If a guest chooses to register
with Punchbowl, that individual will be considered a Punchbowl member and may
receive promotional communications, newsletters, and service announcements from
Punchbowl, Inc. according to the terms and conditions of this privacy policy.

If you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally
sensitive data through a Punchbowl message that is shared publicly, this
information may be collected and used by others. Punchbowl, Inc. does not read
any of your private online communications.

Punchbowl, Inc. encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you
choose to link to from Punchbowl so that you can understand how those Web sites
collect, use and share your information. Punchbowl, Inc. is not responsible for
the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the Punchbowl
and Punchbowl, Inc. family of Web sites.


HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Punchbowl, Inc. collects and uses your personal information to operate Punchbowl
and deliver the services you have requested. When you register with Punchbowl,
you are automatically enrolled in our marketing emails. These marketing emails
have information about upcoming holidays, new features, and useful tips about
using the website. If you do not wish to receive these marketing emails, simply
unsubscribe the first time you receive an email. You can quickly and easily
unsubscribe by clicking the "Unsubscribe" links in the email. When you
unsubscribe, you will no longer receive the marketing emails. However, you will
continue to receive emails that are related to your usage of the Punchbowl
website. Punchbowl, Inc. also uses your personally identifiable information to
inform you of other products or services available from Punchbowl, Inc. and its
affiliates. Punchbowl, Inc. may also contact you via surveys to conduct research
about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be
offered. Punchbowl, Inc. will communicate with you through emails and messages
posted on Punchbowl.

Punchbowl, Inc. may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of carefully
selected business partners about a particular offering that we believe may be of
interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information
(e-mail, name, address, zip code) is not transferred to the third party. In
addition, Punchbowl, Inc. may share data with trusted partners to help us
perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer
support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from
using your personal information except to provide these services to Punchbowl,
Inc., and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

From time to time, Punchbowl, Inc. may enter into strategic partnerships in
which your personally identifiable information may be provided to a carefully
selected business partner. These strategic partnerships may include
private-label, co-branded websites, or other promotional web pages for which
Punchbowl, Inc. receives financial compensation. Any strategic partners to whom
we disclose personal information may have their own privacy policies, which
describe how they use and disclose personal information. Those policies will
govern use, handling and disclosure of your personal information once we have
shared it with those strategic partners as described in this Privacy Policy.

Punchbowl, Inc. keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit
within Punchbowl, in order to determine what Punchbowl, Inc. services are the
most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising
within Punchbowl to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested
in a particular subject area.

Punchbowl, Inc. will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if
required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is
necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process
served on Punchbowl, Inc. or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or
property of Punchbowl, Inc.; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect
the personal safety of users of Punchbowl, Inc., or the public.

Notwithstanding any other provision, we may allow third parties to monitor Site
activity using cookies, web beacons and similar technologies for the purpose of
reporting website traffic, statistics, targeted advertisements, “click-throughs”
and/or other activities. We may also engage a data provider who may collect web
log data from you (including IP address and information about your browser or
operating system) through cookies. The cookies may reflect demographic or other
data linked to data you voluntarily have submitted to us, e.g., your email
address, that we may share with a data provider solely in hashed, non-human
readable form. Our partners may place or recognize a cookie on your computer or
device via their pixel on our website and in email communications you've opted
to receive from us. Our partners use this information to recognize you across
different channels and platforms over time for advertising, analytics,
attribution, and reporting purposes. This information is used to help select and
display targeted advertisements that are believed to be of interest to you
(sometimes called "online behavioral advertising" or "interest-based
advertising" or "OBA"). If you would like to "opt-out" of being served OBA on
the Website by our third-party advertising companies, please go to
http://www.aboutads.info/choices.

Notwithstanding anything else in this policy, we or a data partner we have
engaged may collect and store a unique identifier matched to your mobile device,
in order to deliver customized ads or content while you use applications or surf
the internet, or to seek to identify you in a unique manner across other devices
or browsers. In order to customize these ads or content, we or a data partner
may connect de-identified demographic or other data about you (received from
third parties) either to data you voluntarily have submitted to us, e.g., your
email address, or to data passively collected from you, such as your device
identifier or IP address. To learn about how to opt-out, please go to
http://www.aboutads.info/choices.


USE OF COOKIES

Like most websites, Punchbowl, Inc. uses "cookies" to allow you to bypass the
login screen ("Remember Me" functionality). A cookie is a tiny data file, which
resides on your computer and allows Punchbowl, Inc. to recognize you as a member
when you return to Punchbowl from the same computer and browser. Cookies cannot
be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are
uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain
that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to
save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have
returned to a specific page. For example, when you register with Punchbowl, a
cookie helps Punchbowl, Inc. to recall your specific information on subsequent
visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such
as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to
Punchbowl, the information you previously provided can be retrieved.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to
decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be
able to fully experience the features of the Punchbowl services.


SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Punchbowl, Inc. secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use
or disclosure. Punchbowl, Inc. secures the personally identifiable information
you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected
from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as
a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through
the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.


HOW YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

You may choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal information in
the following ways:

If you have previously agreed to us using your personal information for direct
marketing purposes, you may change your mind at any time by writing to or
emailing us at privacy@punchbowl.com.

If you wish to unsubscribe from receiving marketing emails from Punchbowl, Inc.
please click the unsubscribe link included in the footer of all of our emails.

If you believe that any information we are holding on you is incorrect or
incomplete, please email at privacy@punchbowl.com. We will promptly correct any
information found to be incorrect. You may also request that we delete the
information we have collected about you at any time by emailing us at
privacy@punchbowl.com. Please note that in certain circumstances, we may not be
able to completely remove your information from our systems. For example, we may
retain your information for legitimate business purposes, if it may be necessary
to prevent fraud or future abuse, for account recovery purposes, if required by
law or as retained in our data backup systems or cached or archived pages, or
where the burden or expense of accommodating your request would, in our good
faith judgment, be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy, or where the
rights of others may be violated. All retained personal information will
continue to be subject to the terms of the Privacy Policy to which the User has
previously agreed.

Finally, you may request access to the information we have collected about you
by sending a request to privacy@punchbowl.com.

There is not yet a consensus as to whether third-party cookies and tracking
devices associated with our websites and mobile apps may constitute a “sale” of
your personal information as defined by the CCPA. You can exercise control over
browser-based cookies by adjusting the settings on your browser. Further, you
can learn more about your choices regarding certain kinds of online
interest-based advertising with the Digital Advertising Alliance or the Network
Advertising Initiative. We do not represent that these third-party tools,
programs or statements are complete or accurate.

Some web browsers include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” signals, which
is a privacy preference that users can set to opt out of tracking by websites
and online services. Punchbowl does not process or respond to “Do Not Track”
signals.

California residents can make the following requests regarding their personal
information:

 * To request the personal information we have collected, used, and/or disclosed
   about you, you may email us at ccpa@punchbowl.com or visit

When you exercise these rights and submit a request to us, we may ask for your
email address and/or require additional verification. We also may use a third
party verification provider to verify your identity. We will check our systems
for the email address that you provide, and any information associated with such
email address. If you provide us with an email address that has not been used to
interact with us, then we will not be able to verify your identity. In other
words, the only reasonable method by which we may verify the identity of
individuals is if we have an email address on file that was provided to us in
relation to our services.

You may submit a request to access or delete your personal information and/or
opt-out of the sale of your personal information through an authorized agent. If
you do so, the agent must present signed written permission to act on your
behalf and you may also be required to independently verify your identity with
us.

The fact that you have elected to exercise these rights will have no adverse
effect on the price and quality of our Services.
