Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. We have created this Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to protecting your personal information.
We request that you read this Privacy Policy carefully.
This Privacy Policy describes how our company collects information from all end users of our Internet services (referred to either as "Us, "Our", "We", "Services", "Sites")- those users of the Site (referred either as "Visitors", "User(s)", "You") who visit without transacting business and Visitors who register to transact business (referred as "Authorized Customers", "Authorized User(s)" and/or "You") on the Site and make use of the various services offered by Us.
We may use "Personally Identifiable Information" (refers to any information that identifies or can be used to identify, contact, or locate the person to whom such information pertains, including, but not limited to: name, e-mail address, street address, telephone number, IP address, financial information, social security (or insurance) number and/or other form of tax identification number, and other information) which is subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
We will never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third party. We employ specific security measures when storing, retrieving, or accessing any form of financial information and/or social security number and/or other form of tax identification number.
How We Collect Information From Users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide information when you register for access to certain portions of our site or request certain features, such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide information when you participate in any of Our programs, on or by the Sites and other interactive areas of the Sites. Like most websites/services, we also collect information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to You. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or your IP address, or use information available through the Internet, cookie technology, other forms of technology, and technologies yet to be conceived and/or implemented, to recognize You and hold information from your visit. Among other things, these technologies, in whole or in part and in any possible combination, may store your user name and password, sparing You from having to re-enter that information each time You visit, identify your account number, or may control the number of times
You encounter a particular advertisement while visiting the Sites, or be used to Our advantage to market products and services on behalf of Us or Our Advertisers, or in any other way we see fit. As we adopt additional technology, We may also gather additional types and categories of information about You and Your use of the Sites, its Programs, Your use of the Internet, and/or Your implied topics of interest, usage, or research, and do this through other means.
In certain instances, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but, if you do, you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password, or we may not be able to customize the site's features according to your preferences, or you may not be able to become a Participant in some or all of the programs. Furthermore, in some instances if you fail to provide us with information we request, you may be ineligible to participate in some or all of the programs and/or services offered through the Sites.
What We Do With the Information We Collect Like other websites/services, we collect information to formulate lists of topics, categories of interest and/or use, and your implied specific areas of interest. This may be used to enhance your visit, deliver more individualized content and advertising, to affect our accounting methodology, to secure our database(s), to protect Us from illicit usage of the Services, or to disable certain services or programs for use by You. We respect your privacy and do not share your information with anyone outside of our Services and any subsidiaries either may have. Additionally, real time transmission of the information may occur to affect, enable, or enhance other programs and services. Aggregate Information (information that does not contain any Personally Identifiable Information) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to help enhance the Sites and the services offered therein (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most attractive). Aggregate Information may occasionally be shared with or sold to Our licensees and subsidiaries, our advertisers, Our business partners, or the general public. Additionally, periodic transmission of the aggregate information may occur to affect, enable, or enhance other programs and services. We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected by and/or retained on Our Sites or through any of our Affiliate's links, to communicate with You about your registration and customization preferences, services and products offered by Us or by request by other companies (We review these requests and when, in our judgment, we think the information would be of benefit to these persons or entities, we cooperate in getting you this information directly without disclosing your Personally Identifiable Information to outside companies), now or in the future, or any other topics we think you might find of interest including but not limited to site administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications with You. Any such communication may be in the form of email or by telephone or any other means suitable to the type of communication, including any new information delivery technologies that might become available. We may initiate the communication of any information or advertising for Our direct or indirect financial gain and it is done so without any compensation due to You or any other recipient of the information.
We will use your information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time, as we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to, or after, disclosure in such cases.
What other organizations collect the information
In addition to our direct collection of information, our third party service vendors (such as credit card companies, clearinghouses and banks) who may provide such services as credit, insurance, and escrow services may collect this information from our Visitors and Authorized Customers. We do not control how these third parties use such information. Some of these third parties may be intermediaries that act solely as links in the distribution chain, and do not store, retain, or use the information given to them. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the operation of Our Sites (our Web hosting service for example), in general, may access such information. We may use third party merchant payment verification and processing companies to obtain payment and approvals and to bill users for goods and services. We do not have complete control over the actions or intentions of the third party payment processors or how they use the information that you may provide during a payment transaction and therefore have no responsibility for their use of the data specific to the transaction. It is Your responsibility to contact the payment processors and/or Your financial institution for information regarding their specific usage of the information conveyed during transactions.
What choices Users have regarding collection, use and distribution of the information
Visitors and Authorized Customers may: - opt out of receiving unsolicited information from or being contacted by us and/or our vendors and affiliated agencies by responding to emails as instructed, or by contacting Us via e-mail contact link or contact page posted on the Site. - Update/Edit Personally Identifiable Information by responding to emails as instructed or by contacting Us via e-mail contact link or contact page posted on the Site.
However, Authorized Customers may not opt out of receiving information from our business which is essential for maintaining or updating Authorized Customers' accounts or system information unless an Authorized Customer requests a cancellation of his/her purchase.
Use of cookie technology
Cookies are used for a variety of reasons. We use Cookies to obtain information about the preferences of our Visitors and the services they select. We also use Cookies for security purposes to protect our Authorized Customers.
User Emails or Testimonials
