Terms and Conditions

This is a review service collecting data publicly available from Twitter, using only fresh "tweets" from public profiles in the public domain.

Comments and opinions included in this service are not those of EdTwinge.com creators, nor is this service endorsed by the named celebrities, venues, contributors, festival organizers, or Twitter.

Here's the small print. Zoom in to make it bigger (Cmd +), but we can't guarantee it will be less boring.

Access

You understand that when using EdTwinge.com, you will be exposed to submissions from a variety of sources, and the site creators are not responsible for the accuracy, usefulness, safety, or intellectual property rights of or relating to such submissions. You further understand and acknowledge that you may be exposed to submissions that may be inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable, and you agree to waive, and hereby do waive, any legal or equitable rights or remedies you have or may have against us with respect thereto, and agree to indemnify and hold us, our operators and affiliates, harmless to the fullest extent allowed by law regarding all matters related to your use of the site.

EdTwinge.com creators do not endorse any submission or any opinion, recommendation, or advice expressed therein, and we expressly disclaim any and all liability in connection with submissions. In short, we love all the Edinburgh Fringe shows equally and wouldn't want to favour one over the other.

Links to Other Websites

EdTwinge.com often provides links to resources that we believe may be useful. These links will lead you to web sites operated by third parties that operate under different privacy policies. We encourage you to review those privacy policies, as we have no control over information you may submit to those third parties. Some of them may be vagabonds and scoundrels for all we know. Better to err on the side of caution.

Should you choose one of these links you will be leaving our website for a site which we have no control over and accept no liability for. Please note that downloading computer programs from certain sites risks infringing copyright and may introduce computer viruses.

EdTwinge.com may use third parties, such as ad server companies, to present or serve advertisements that you may see on our Website. EdTwinge.com may also include advertisements placed by third parties. Our privacy policy does not cover any information collected by those third parties nor does it cover how they may use such information.

Non-personally Identifiable Information

Using technology, EdTwinge.com can collect information about the type of browser you are using, your operating system and your IP address information using technology. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer and is recognised by web technology whenever you are surfing the Internet. None of this information is considered personally identifiable information. As technology evolves, additional methods of information gathering may be used such as 'pixel tags' (also known as 'web beacons' and 'clear gifs').

We also use cookies and other technologies to collect the above non-personally identifiable information for a variety of purposes, such as to improve the design and content of EdTwinge.com and to enable us to provide a more personalised experience when you browse the Internet. Most industry-standard web browsers have an option that allows you to turn off all cookies or have your computer inform you each time that a request to place a cookie is being made. If you turn cookies off (or refuse to accept a request to place a cookie), you may not have access to some features on our Website or being automatically recognised, may not function properly.

We may provide aggregate non-personally identifiable information to third parties (such as marketers, ad server companies and advertisers) that make use of general customer data. We may also share that information with concessionaires aboard our vessels and other third parties.

We are not liable for information that is inaccurate due to technical defects in software used on EdTwinge.com, whether induced by our systems or by software provided by third parties.

In addition, in connection with some activities, we collect additional personally identifiable information such as your date of birth and street.

When corresponding with you via e-mail, we may use a variety of technologies, such as 'clear gifs' or 'web beacons', to let us know, among other things, whether you received and opened our e-mail. The clear gif included in the e-mail may establish a cookie on your system that further allows us to tailor information to fit your personal interests.

We will not trade, sell or share the above personally identifiable information for use by any third parties unless we have informed you, been authorised by you or are required by law to do so. In addition, such personally identifiable information shall not be disclosed to third parties unless we have informed you, been authorised by you or are required by law to do so.

2. We will be storing the personal information publicly available on Twitter for example, user name, location (if specified on Twitter), profile picture and tweets. This information will be displayed on this website.
