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.
"Cookies" and How Our Company Uses Them. A "cookie" is a small
data file that can be placed on your hard drive when you visit
certain Web sites. Our company may use cookies to collect,
store, and sometimes track information for statistical purposes
to improve the products and services we provide and to manage
our telecommunications networks.
If you are a Visitor or Member we may use a cookie to save your
settings and to provide customizable and personalized services.
These cookies do not enable third parties to access any of your
customer information. Additionally, be aware that if you visit
other Web sites where you are prompted to log in or that are
customizable, you may be required to accept cookies.
Advertisers and partners may also use their own cookies. We do
not control use of these cookies and expressly disclaim
responsibility for information collected through them.
Our Company Commitment to Children's Privacy. Protecting
children's privacy is especially important to us. It is our
policy to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection
Act of 1998 and all other applicable laws. Therefore we restrict
our Web site to persons eighteen years or older.
YOU MUST BE EIGHTEEN (18) YEARS OR OLDER TO ACCESS THIS WEB
SITE. IF YOU ARE UNDER EIGHTEEN YEARS OF AGE, YOU ARE NOT
PERMITTED TO ACCESS THIS WEB SITE FOR ANY REASON. DUE TO THE AGE
RESTRICTIONS FOR USE OF THIS WEB SITE, NO INFORMATION OBTAINED
BY THIS WEB SITE, FALLS WITHIN THE CHILD ONLINE PRIVACY ACT (COPA)
AND IS NOT MONITORED AS DOING SO.
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 security measures will prevent third-party "hackers" from
illegally obtaining this information.

described herein, you may contact us through the contact

Revisions to This Policy: Our company reserves the right to
revise, amend, or modify this policy, our Terms Of Service
agreement, and our other policies and agreements at any time and
in any manner, by updating this posting.
