PRIVACY POLICY
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 we collect
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 We Collect and How It Is Used
Introduction. We collect 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, email 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 we 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 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. We 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. We have 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 us 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: We 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. We do 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 us, the return email address is used to answer the email
inquiry we receive. We do 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: We may offer polls, contests, sweepstakes, drawings,
games, content, or other promotions that are sponsored by or cobranded
with third parties. In certain instances, we may have to supply personally
identifiable information of the winners to the third parties. We have 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 policy not to use or share the personal
information about Visitors or 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 us and our
Members.
