PRIVACY POLICY
|
| |
Your privacy is very important to us. We want to make your experience on the Internet as enjoyable
and rewarding as possible, and we want you to use the Internet's vast array of information, tools,
and opportunities with complete confidence.
We have created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy and security.
This Privacy Policy describes how our company collects information from all end users of our
Internet services (the "Services")-those who access some of our Services but do not have accounts
("Visitors") as well as those who may purchase Products and/or pay a monthly service fee to
subscribe to the Service ("Members") what we do with the information we collect, and the choices
Visitors and Members have concerning the collection and use of such information. We request that
you read this Privacy Policy carefully.
Personal Information Our Company Collects and How It Is Used
Introduction. Our company collects information in different ways from Visitors and Members who
access the various parts of our Services and the network of Web sites accessible through our
Service. We use this information primarily to provide a customized experience as you use our
Products and Services, and generally, do not share this information with third parties. However,
we may disclose personal information collected if we have received your permission beforehand or
in very special circumstances, such as when we believe that such disclosure is required by law or
other special cases described below.
Registration: Members may be asked to provide certain personal information when they sign up
for our Products or Services including name, address, telephone number, billing information
(such as a credit card number), and the type of personal computer being used to access the
Services. The personal information collected from Members during the registration process is
used to manage each Member's account (such as for billing purposes). This information is not
shared with third parties, unless specifically stated otherwise or in special circumstances.
However, in instances where our company and a partner jointly promote our Services, we may provide
the partner certain personal information, such as the name, address, and username of persons who
subscribed to the Services as a result of the joint promotion for the sole purpose of allowing us
and the partner to assess the results of the promotion.
In this instance, personal information may not be used by the partner for any other purpose. We
may also generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles from personal information Members provide
during registration (such as the total number, but not the names, of Members). As explained in
more detail below, we may use this aggregated and non-identifying information to sell
advertisements that appear on the Services.
Our Company Partners and Sponsors: Some products and services may be offered to Visitors and
Members in conjunction with an affiliate, independent contractor seller or non-affiliated partner.
To provide Visitors and Members some of these products and services, the partner may need to
collect and maintain personal information. In these instances, you will be notified before any
such data is collected or transferred and may decide not to use that particular service or
feature.
Additionally, our partners may have advertisements or co-branded Web Pages that are cosponsored by
an affiliate, independent contractor seller, or non-affiliated partner. Our company may share
non-identifying and aggregate information (except as described above), but not personal information,
with such partners in order to administer the co-branded products or services offered.
Online Shopping: At some Web sites, you can purchase products and services or register to receive
materials, such as a newsletter, catalog or new product and service updates. In many cases, you
may be asked to provide contact information, such as your name, address, email address, phone
number, and credit/debit card information.
If you complete an order for someone else, such as an online gift order sent directly to a
recipient, you may be asked to provide information about the recipient, such as the recipient's
name, address, and phone number. Our company has no control over the third parties' use of any
personal information you provide when placing such an order. Please exercise care when doing so.
If you order services or products directly from our company we will use the personal information
you provide only to process that order. We do not share this information with outside parties
except to the extent necessary to complete that order.
Online Advertisements: Our company may display our online advertisements. In those cases we share
aggregated and non-identifying information about our Visitors and Members collected through the
registration process as well as through online surveys and promotions with these advertisers.
Additionally, in some instances, we use this aggregated and non-identifying information to deliver
tailored advertisements or joint ventures. For instance, an advertiser or joint venture company
tells us the audience they want to reach and provides us an advertisement tailored to the audience.
Based upon the aggregated and non-identifying information we have collected, we may then display
or send the advertisement to the intended audience. Our company does not share personal information
about its Visitors or Members with these advertisers or joint venture companies.
Responses to Email Inquiries: When Visitors or Members send email inquiries to our company, the
return email address is used to answer the email inquiry we receive. Our company does not use the
return email address for any other purpose and does not share the return email address with any
third party.
Voluntary Customer Surveys: We may periodically conduct both business and individual customer
surveys. We encourage our customers to participate in these surveys because they provide us with
important information that helps us to improve the types of products and services we offer and how
we provide them to you. Your personal information and responses will remain strictly confidential,
even if the survey is conducted by a third party. Participation in our customer surveys is
voluntary.
We may take the information we receive from individuals responding to our Customer Surveys and
combine (or aggregate) it with the responses of other customers we may have, to create broader,
generic responses to the survey questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education,
employment, industry sector, or other demographic information). We then use the aggregated
information to improve the quality of our services to you, and to develop new services and
products. This aggregated, non-personally identifying information may be shared with third
parties.
Promotions: Our company may offer polls, contests, sweepstakes, drawings, games, content, or other
promotions that are sponsored by or cobranded with third parties. In certain instances, company
may have to supply personally identifiable information of the winners to the third parties. Our
company has no control over third parties' use of this information.
You may be entered in a sweepstakes, contest, or other promotion, simply by making a purchase from
us or by providing us with personally identifiable information for some other reason or purpose.
When the winning entries are chosen, only the names and personally identifiable information of the
winners are shared with the entity administering the sweepstakes or contest, so that they can notify
the winners.
Special Cases: It is our company's policy not to use or share the personal information about
Visitors of Members in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an
opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
However, we may disclose personal information about Visitors or Members, or information regarding
your use of the Services or Web sites accessible through our Services, for any reason if, in our
sole discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to do so, including: credit agencies, collection
agencies, merchant database agencies, law enforcement, or to satisfy laws, such as the Electronic
Communications Privacy Act, the Child Online Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental or legal
requests for such information; to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or
bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Acceptable Use Policy or Terms Of
Service, or other user policies; to operate the Services properly; or to protect our company and
our Members.
