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.
