EVENT RULES AND RESPONSIBILITIES AGREEMENT & DISCLOSURES
Introduction
This document sets forth the rules and responsibilities for both the Organizers and Participants of Speed Dating Events. It is intended to ensure a respectful, enjoyable, and safe experience for all involved.
Feathr Application Check-In, Participant Visibility & Interested Heart Feature
For certain events, Los Angeles Fun Events may use the Feathr online application or website to help participants check in, see who attended, and reconnect after the event. Signing in, checking in, and uploading a photo are optional, but highly encouraged so other checked-in participants can recognize you and so you do not miss the opportunity to connect with someone you met.
By checking in through Feathr, you understand and agree that other checked-in participants may be able to view your first name, last initial, uploaded photo if you choose to provide one, and certain shared or matching survey responses, if applicable. Only checked-in participants will be able to view participant information.
If you click the heart or “Interested” button next to another participant’s name, you authorize Los Angeles Fun Events and/or Feathr to share your email address, first name, and last initial with that participant. Your email address is not visible to all checked-in participants simply because you check in; it is shared only when you choose to express interest by clicking the heart/Interested button.
