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.
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 may be shared with third
parties, 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
as 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 that 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 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 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 to the intended audience. Our company does 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. 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, e-mail
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 uses. 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.
