PRIVACY NOTICE

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
