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.
Introduction
Our company collects information in different ways from
Visitors and Subscribers who access the various parts of our
Services and the network of web sites accessible through our
Service.
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 ("Subscribers") - what we do with the
information we collect, and the choices Visitors and Subscribers
have concerning the collection and use of such information. We
request that you read this Privacy Policy carefully.
Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against
unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that
personally identifiable information that we collect will never be
disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy
Policy.
Registration
Subscribers 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 Subscribers during the registration process is used
to manage each Subscriber'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 do 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
Subscribers provide during registration (such as the total number,
but not the names, of Subscribers). 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 Subscribers, with or without
compensation from those companies. At times we may send and
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
Subscribers 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 Subscribers
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
Subscribers with these advertisers or joint venture companies.
Responses to Email Inquiries
When Visitors or Subscribers 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 response 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 co-branded 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 Subscribers 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
Subscribers, 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 Terms of Use and Service, or other user policies;
to operate the Services properly; or to protect our company and
our Subscribers.
