Introduction
Visitors and Subscribers to our services and network of websites accessible via our service are collected by our company in various ways.
This Privacy Policy is a demonstration of our commitment to privacy and safety. This Privacy Statement explains how we collect information from our end users who use our Internet Services ("Services"), including those who do not have an account but access certain Services ("Visitors") and those who pay a monthly fee or purchase Products to receive the Service ("Subscribers"); what we do with that information and what choices Subscribers and Visitors have regarding the collection and usage of this information. Please read the Privacy Policy carefully.
We take measures to protect against unauthorised disclosures, but we can't guarantee that the personally identifiable information we collect won't be used in a way that violates this Privacy Policy.
Registration
When signing up for Products or Services, Subscribers will be asked to submit certain personal information, including their name, email address, phone number, billing details (such as credit card numbers), and what type of computer they are using to access our Services. Personal information collected during the registration process will be used to manage Subscriber accounts (such as billing). As stated in this document, or under special circumstances, the information collected may be shared with other parties.
In instances where we and a partner promote our Services together, we may share certain personal information with the partner, including the name, email address and usernames of people who have subscribed to the Services in response to the joint promotion, for the purpose offering you other services and products.
The partner may not use personal information for any other purposes. We may also create non-identifying profiles and aggregate profiles using the personal information that Subscribers submit during registration (such the total number of Subscribers, but not their names). We may sell ads that appear on our Services using this non-identifying and aggregated information, as explained below.
We also provide our members' contact information to our business partners so that they can contact them by phone after their purchase. The business partner company collects the sales proceeds. With or without compensation, we may also provide other companies with our subscribers' contact information for mailing offers that we think would be interesting to them. We may occasionally send an advertisement for a product from a third-party, in which we collect sales proceeds and pass the information of the purchaser to the third-party.
Our Company Partners and sponsors
Visitors and Subscribers may receive certain products and services in collaboration with a partner, whether it is an affiliate, an independent contractor or a non-affiliated party. Partner may be required to collect and store personal information in order to provide certain products and services.
Online Shopping
On some websites, you can register to receive information, such as newsletters, catalogs, or updates on new products and services. You may be asked for contact information in many cases. This includes your name, address and email address.
You may be asked for information about the recipient if you place an order on behalf of someone else. For example, if you are placing an order online to send a gift directly to the recipient. This could include the recipient's phone number, address and name. We have no control over how third parties use the personal information that you provide to place an order. Please be careful when placing an order.
We use your personal information to process any orders you place directly with our company. We share this information with other companies with whom we conduct business.
Online Advertising
We may show our online ads. We may share with advertisers information collected about our visitors and subscribers through registration, online surveys and promotions.
In some cases, we also use this information for joint ventures or to create tailored advertising. An advertiser or joint-venture company may tell us which audience they wish to reach, and then provide us with an advertisement that is tailored for the target audience. Using the collected information, we can then send or display the advertisement to the targeted audience. We do not share any personal information about our Visitors or Subscribers to these advertisers or joint-venture companies.
Email Inquiries
The return email address will be used when Visitors or Subscribers email our company with questions.
Customer surveys
We may conduct periodic surveys of both individual and business customers. These surveys are important to us because they give us valuable information to help us improve our products and services.
We may combine the responses we receive to our Customer Surveys with those of other customers to provide a more generic answer to the survey question (such as gender or age, place of residence, hobbies, educational background, occupation, industry sector or other demographic data). The aggregated data is then used to improve our services for you and develop new products and services. These aggregated, non personally identifying data may be shared with other parties.
Promotions
We may run polls, contests or sweepstakes sponsored by third parties, or offer games, content or other promotions. By making a purchase or providing us with your personal information, you may be eligible to enter a contest, sweepstakes or other promotion. These third-party relationships may allow third parties to obtain the personally identifiable information provided by visitors to our website. No control is exercised by our company over the use of such information by third parties.
