PRIVACY POLICY
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.
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 ("Members")-what we do with the information we collect, and the
choices Visitors and Members have concerning the collection and use of such
information. We request 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 and the network of Web
sites accessible through our Service. We use this information primarily to
provide a customized 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 permission
beforehand or in very special circumstances, such as when we believe that such
disclosure is required by law or other special cases described below.
Registration: Members 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 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, unless specifically stated otherwise 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 to the Services as a result of the joint promotion for the sole purpose of allowing us and the partner to assess the results of the promotion.
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 Members provide
during registration (such as the total number, but not the names, of Members).
As explained in more detail below, we may use this aggregated and
non-identifying information to sell advertisements that appear on the Services.
Our Company Partners and Sponsors: Some products and services may be offered to
Visitors and Members 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. In these instances, you will be notified before any such data is
collected or transferred and may decide not to use that particular service or
feature.
Additionally, our partners may have
advertisements or co-branded Web Pages that are cosponsored by an affiliate,
independent contractor seller, or non-affiliated partner. Our company may share
non-identifying and aggregate information (except as described above), but not
personal information, with such partners in order to administer the co-branded
products or services offered.
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 will use the
personal information you provide only to process that order. We do not share
this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete
that order.
Online Advertisements: Our company may display our online advertisements. In
those cases we share aggregated and non-identifying information about our
Visitors and Members collected through the registration process as well as
through online surveys and promotions with these advertisers.
Additionally, in some instances, we use
this aggregated and non-identifying 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 aggregated and
non-identifying information we have collected, we may then display or send the
advertisement to the intended audience. Our company does not share personal
information about its Visitors or Members with these advertisers or joint
venture companies.
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 for any other purpose
and does not share the return email address with any third party.
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. Your personal information and responses will remain strictly confidential,
even if the survey is conducted by a third party. Participation in our customer
surveys is voluntary.
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 responses 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.
Special Cases: It is our company's policy not to use or share the personal
information about Visitors of Members in ways unrelated to the ones described
above without also providing you an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit
such unrelated uses.
However, we may disclose personal
information about Visitors or Members, 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 Acceptable Use
Policy or Terms Of Service, or other user policies; to operate the Services
properly; or to protect our company and our Members.

Public Forums: Please remember that any information you may disclose in any
Member Directory, or other public areas of our Web sites or the Internet,
becomes public information. You should exercise caution when deciding to
disclose personal information in these public areas.
Our Company's Commitment to Data Security: Services and Web sites we sponsor
have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of
the information under our control. While we make every effort to ensure the
integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our
