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. 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 (“Members”)-what
we do with the information we collect, and the choices Visitors and
Members have concerning the collection and use of such information. 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 generally, 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. 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 will use
the personal information you provide only to process that order. We do
not share this information with outside parties except to the extent
necessary to complete that order.
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.
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 for any other purpose and does not share the return email
address with any third party.
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.
Promotions: Our company may offer polls, contests, sweepstakes,
drawings, games, content, or other promotions that are sponsored by or
cobranded with third parties. In certain instances, company may have to
supply personally identifiable information of the winners to the third
parties. Our company has no control over third parties’ use of this
information.
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. When the
winning entries are chosen, only the names and personally identifiable
information of the winners are shared with the entity administering the
sweepstakes or contest, so that they can notify the winners.
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.
