About CITYBARF
CITYBARF is an online service that allows our members to set up unique
personal profiles that can be linked together through networks of friends.
CITYBARF members can view each others' profiles, communicate with old
friends and meet new friends on the service, share photos, post journals
and comments, and describe their interests. To enrich our members' experience,
we request and display some personal information to other members and
visitors, which allows our users to identify each other and expand their
network of friends. CITYBARF members can change their profile information
at any time and can control how other members and the service communicates
with them.
CITYBARF cares deeply about online privacy If you have any questions
concerning this privacy policy, please email us at privacy@CITYBARF

to send reminders of the invitations CITYBARF does not sell these email
addresses or use them to send any other communication besides invitations,
invitation reminders (up to three (3) per email address). Recipients
