Our Commitment To Privacy
This Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we
collect and use your personal information in connection with our
advertising, content, e-commerce, promotional and service programs and
other business activities (the "Program") and to assist you in making
informed decisions when using our site and our products and services
and the sites of our advertisers.
What
Information We Collect
When you visit our site we may collect two types of information: (a)
personal information you actively choose to disclose and (b)
information about you that is collected automatically by our servers or
obtained from third parties in a way not visible to you.
(a) Information you actively choose to provide. By choosing to
participate in our Program, you must become a Member by disclosing the
following information, such as: your email address, name, address,
phone number and birth date. During the process of registering on our
site, participating in various offers, completing surveys, or sending
us emails or correspondence, we collect additional information that you
may disclose, including for example mobile telephone number, fax
number, payment information (e.g., credit card number and billing
address), credit information, social security number, health
information and personal preferences regarding lifestyle, products or
services.
(b) Passive information collected automatically by our servers or
obtained from third parties.
We collect some information about you simply by virtue of you
connecting to our web site. Our servers automatically identify your
computer by its internet protocol ("IP") address, a unique string of
numbers that is assigned to your computer by your internet service
provider. In addition, to participate in our program you must allow
cookies to be active on your system. Cookies are a feature of web
browser software (Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, etc.) that
allows web servers to recognize which computer is used to access a web
site. Cookies simplify subsequent interactions on our site and
streamline your transactions on related web pages. Information
collected through cookies may include the date and time of your visits,
the site pages you viewed, the time spent at each page, and the web
sites you visited just before and just after our site.
You can disable the cookie function by following the instructions in
the "help" section of your browser. However, doing so will likely make
it impossible for our system to properly recognize you when you visit
our sites, and consequently may make your participation in our program
more difficult or impossible. In addition to the information you
provide or that is collected automatically from our system, we may
obtain information about you from our marketing partners or other third
parties, and we combine that information with the information you
actively provide or that is automatically collected by our servers.
How
We Use And
Share The Information Collected
We use your Information to administer our business activities, provide
customer services such as technical support, distribute information
about changes to our site, and send you, and enable others to send you,
information about products and services that may be of interest to you
and to contact you or use your Information for any other purpose. We
send communications to you ourselves, and your Information also is
shared with other organizations that may contact you for any purpose by
email, phone, text message, U.S. mail or any other means of
communication.
OPT-IN NOTICE: By Participating, You Expressly "Opt In" To Receive
information And Grant Us Permission To Share Your information
By signing up for our Program you expressly opt in to receive future
information about products and services from us and from a variety of
advertisers to whom we may provide your information. We will share your
personal information with third parties, including our advertisers. As
a result, we will transfer your information to third parties whose
privacy policies and practices are beyond our control.
In addition, in the event we consider a transaction involving the
purchase or sale of our assets or stock, other companies may review our
records, including your Information, to make business decisions about
the transaction. Likewise, your information may be transferred to third
parties in the event of the sale or acquisition of our company or any
of its assets. The parties who perform services for us (credit card
processors, merchant banks, our internet service provider, etc.) also
may have access to your information in performing their services.
Special
Note About
Information You Provide Directly To Our Advertisers
You are able to access certain advertiser's sites through our site.
When you opt to receive information or sign up for an offer from an
advertiser, you may be doing so through third party sites and with
other companies over which we have no control. You should read those
sites' privacy policies to make sure you agree to them before using
such sites. If you wish to opt out of those advertisers' mailings, you
must do so directly with such advertisers or as otherwise provided on
or through their sites. We use reasonable technical efforts to prevent
unauthorized access or disclosure, or accidental loss or destruction of
information. However, nearly all internet transmissions pass through
many servers not controlled by us, and therefore we cannot guarantee
that any information you provide us or we collect will not be
intercepted or altered in that process. Also, as noted above, your
information is shared with third parties whose privacy policies and
practices are beyond our control.
How
You Can Choose To
"Opt Out" Of Receiving Further Information About Products Or Services
If at any time you do not wish to receive further information about
products or services from us and wish us to cease providing your
Information to third parties, you may chose to "opt-out" by sending an
email to contact us.
We will promptly update our records upon receiving your clear
instructions to opt-out, but it may take up to ten (10) business days
from our receipt of your request for the change to be fully effective.
If you later give us a clear statement that you want to receive emails
from us or our advertisers after such date, then that opt-in statement
will supersede any earlier opt-out request. If we have already provided
your email address or other information to an advertiser or other third
party before we receive your opt-out request, we cannot prevent them
from sending or continuing to send you information or emails and you
will need to contact such third party directly.
How
To Correct, Delete Or
Access Your Information
If you wish to access, delete or correct the information you have
provided to us through this site, please contact us through the Contact
Us section of our site.
PLEASE CHECK THIS PRIVACY POLICY PERIODICALLY FOR CHANGES AS WE RESERVE
THE RIGHT TO REVISE THIS PRIVACY POLICY. SUCH REVISIONS TO THE PRIVACY
POLICY SHALL TAKE EFFECT WHEN POSTED. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF OUR
SERVICES THROUGH ANY COMMUNICATION CHANNEL FOLLOWING THE POSTING OF ANY
CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH
CHANGES.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, DO NOT
PROVIDE THE COMPANY WITH ANY INFORMATION OR USE ANY OF THE SERVICES OR
PRODUCTS OFFERED OR PROVIDED ON THIS WEB SITE.
