| 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.
