PRIVACY
POLICY
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.
