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). It also sets out what we do with the information
we collect and the choices Visitors 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 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.
With Partners Some Products and Services
may be offered to Visitors in conjunction with an affiliate,
independent contract seller or non-affiliated partner. To
provide Visitors 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.
Advertisements Our company may display
online advertisements. In those cases we share general non-identifying
profile information about our Visitors 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
with these advertisers or joint venture partners.
Responses to Email Inquiries When Visitors
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 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 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, or as required by law.
“Cookies” A “cookie” is a small data file
that can be placed on your hard drive when you visit certain
web sites.
How We Use Cookies Our company may use “cookies”
to collect, store and track data for statistical purposes
to improve the products and services we provide and to manage
our networks.
If you are a Visitor we may use cookies to save your settings
and provide customized and personal service. These cookies
do not allow any third parties to access any of your customer
information. Advertisers and Partners may also use cookies.
We have no control over their actions and we specifically
disclaim any responsibility for information they may collect.
Our Company’s policy towards child privacy
The privacy of children is important to all of us. To ensure
compliance with any applicable children privacy laws we restrict
our Web site to people 18 years of age or over.
You must be eighteen (18) years of age or over to access
this web site. If you are under eighteen (18) years of age,
you are not permitted to access this web site for any reason.
Due to the age restrictions, we do not monitor this web site
for compliance with any applicable children privacy laws.
Our Company’s Commitment To Data Security
Services and Websites we sponsor have security measures in
place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of data under
our control. While we take all reasonably necessary steps
to protect the integrity and security of our data and networks,
we cannot guarantee our security measures will prevent “third
party” hackers from illegally accessing our data.
Revisions Our Company reserves the right
to revise, amend or modify this policy our Terms of Service
Agreement and our other policies and agreements at any time
and in any manner, by updating this posting.
