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 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.
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, as stated herein, 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 a a
result of the joint promotion for the purpose of offering you other products
and services.
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.
Also,
with purchases, we supply our member’s contact information, to our business
partners, who then may contact the member by telephone after the member
purchase. Sales proceeds are collected by the business partner company. We also
may supply other companies with contact information, for mail offers we believe
would be of interest to our members, with or without compensation from those
companies. At times we may send an advertisement for a third party product,
where we collect the sales proceeds, and forward the purchaser’s information to
that third party.
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.
Online
Shopping
At some
Web sites, you can purchase products and services or register to receive
materials, such 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 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 use the personal
information you provide to process that order. We do share this information
with outside parties that we do business with.
Online
Advertisements
Our
company may display our online advertisements. In those cases we share
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 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 information we have collected, we may then display
or send the advertisement 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.
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.
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. 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. Due to these third party relationships, the
third parties may obtain personally identifiable information that visitors
voluntarily submit to our company. Our company has no control over third parties’
use of this information.
Additionally,
personally identifiable information may be collected when you order products,
enter contests, vote in polls or otherwise express an opinion, subscribe to one
of our services such as our online newsletters, or participate in one of our
online forums or communities. The types of personally identifiable information
that may be collected at these pages include but may not be limited to: name,
address, email address, telephone number, fax number, credit card information,
and information about your interests in and use of various products, programs,
and services. Our sponsors or third parties may send you material that relates
to our company’s services, products or activities.
Special
Cases
It is
our company’s policy to use or share the personal information about Visitors or
Members in ways described herein without additional notice or means to opt out
or otherwise prohibit such unrelated used.
Also, 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.
