Your
privacy is very important to us. We want to make your
experience on the Internet as enjoyable and profitable
as possible and want you to use the services and products
we offer with complete confidence.
We
have created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our
commitment to privacy and security. This Privacy Policy
describes how our company collects information from
all the people who use our Internet services (the
Services). Those who visit our site and may access
some our Services without having accounts with us
(Visitors) as well as those who purchase Products
and pay a fee to subscribe to our Services (Members).
It also sets out what we do with the information we
collect and the choices Visitors and Members have
concerning the collection and use of this information.
We ask 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 on this or related web sites. We use
this information mainly to provide a personalized
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 prior permission, or in very
special circumstances as when we believe disclosure
is required by law and in the special cases described
below.
Upon Registration
Members may be asked to provide certain personal information
when they sign up for our Products and Services including
name, address, telephone number, billing information,
(such as credit card number), and the type of personal
computer being used to access the Services. 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, except as specifically
stated or in special circumstances.
However in instances where our company and a partner
jointly promote our Services, we may provide the partner
some personal information like the name, address and
user name of the persons who subscribed who subscribed
to the Services as a result of the joint promotion
solely for the purpose of allowing us and the partner
to asses the results of the promotion.
In this case, personal information may not be used
by the partner for any other purpose. We may also
generate general non-identifying profiles from personal
information our Members provide during registration,
(like total number, but not the names of Members).
As explained below, we would use this information
to sell advertisements which may appear in the Services.
With
Partners
Some Products and Services may be offered to Visitors
and Members in conjunction with an affiliate, independent
contract seller or non-affiliated partner. To provide
Visitors and Members with some of these Products and
Services, the partner may need to collect and maintain
personal information. In such cases, you will be notified
before any of your data is collected or transferred,
giving you the choice of consent and allowing you
to decide whether to use that particular feature or
service.
Shopping
If you order Products or Services from our company
we will use the personal information you provide only
to process the order. We do not share this information
with outside parties except to the extent necessary
to complete the order.
Advertisements
Our company may display online advertisements. In
those cases we share general non-identifying profile
information about our Visitors and Members collected
during the registration process as well as through
online surveys and promotions with these advertisers.
In some cases, we use this general non-identifying
profile information to deliver specific advertisements
and for joint ventures. As an example, 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 general non-identifying
profile information we have collected, we may then
display or send the information to the intended people.
Our company does not share personal information of
Visitors and Members with these advertisers or joint
venture partners.
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 we receive for any
other purpose and does not share the return email
address with anyone else.
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 which helps us to improve the types of
products and services we offer and how we provide
them to you for your benefit. Your personal information
and responses will remain strictly confidential, even
if the survey is conducted by a third party. Participation
in customer surveys is voluntary.
We may take the information we receive from people
responding to our surveys and combine it with the
responses of other customers we have to prepare broader,
general responses to the survey questions (such as
age, gender, residence, hobbies, education, employment,
industry and other demographic information). We then
use this information to improve the quality of the
Services and Products we provide to you and to develop
new products and services. This general non-identifying
profile information may be shared with third parties.
Special Cases
It is our company’s policy not to use or share the
personal information we collect about Visitors and
Members in ways unrelated to the ones described above
without also providing you the prior opportunity to
opt out and prohibit such unrelated disclosures.
However
we may disclose information about Visitors or Members,
or information concerning your use of the Services
and Products or Websites accessible through the use
of our Services or Products for any reason, if in
our sole discretion we feel it is reasonable to do
so (as permitted by law were applicable) such as to
credit agencies, collection agencies, law enforcement,
to protect the interests of our Company and Members,
or as required by law.
