Your privacy is of paramount importance to us. We strive to provide you with the most enjoyable and rewarding internet experience possible and want you to utilize the vast array of internet resources, tools, and opportunities with complete confidence.

Introduction

Our company gathers information in various ways from Visitors and Subscribers who access different parts of our Services and the network of websites accessible through our Service.

We have crafted this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our unwavering commitment to privacy and security. This Privacy Policy outlines how our company collects information from all end users of our Internet Services (the “Services”) – including those who access some of our Services without accounts (“Visitors”) and those who may purchase Products and/or pay a monthly service fee to subscribe to the Service (“Subscribers”). It also explains what we do with the collected information and the choices Visitors and Subscribers have regarding the collection and use of such information. We urge you to read this Privacy Policy attentively.

While we take appropriate measures to protect against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot guarantee that personally identifiable information we collect will never be disclosed in a manner inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

Registration

Subscribers may be requested to provide specific personal information when signing 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 used to access the Services. The personal information collected from Subscribers during the registration process is utilized to manage each Subscriber’s account (e.g., for billing purposes). This information may be shared with third parties, as detailed herein, or under special circumstances.

However, in cases where our company and a partner jointly promote our Services, we may furnish the partner with certain personal information, such as the names, addresses, and usernames of individuals who subscribed to the Services as a result of the joint promotion, for the purpose of offering other products and services to you.

In such instances, 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 Subscribers provide during registration (e.g., the total number, but not the names, of Subscribers). As elucidated below, we may use this aggregated and non-identifying information to sell advertisements that appear on the Services.

Furthermore, with purchases, we provide our members’ contact information to our business partners, who may then contact the member by telephone following the purchase. Sales proceeds are collected by the business partner company. We may also provide other companies with contact information for mail offers we believe would be of interest to our Subscribers, with or without compensation from those companies. At times, we may send an advertisement for a third-party product, where we collect the sales proceeds and forward the purchaser’s information to that third party.

Our Company Partners and Sponsors

Some products and services may be offered to Visitors and Subscribers in conjunction with an affiliate, independent contractor seller, or non-affiliated partner. To provide Visitors and Members with some of these products and services, the partner may need to collect and maintain personal information.

Online Shopping

At certain websites, you can purchase products and services or register to receive materials such as newsletters, catalogs, or new product and service updates. In many instances, you may be asked to provide contact information such as your name, address, email address, phone number, and credit/debit card information.

If you place an order for someone else, such as an online gift order sent directly to a recipient, you may be required 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 caution when doing so.

If you order services or products directly from our company, we use the personal information you provide to process that order. We do share this information with outside parties that we do business with.

Online Advertisements

Our company may display online advertisements. In such cases, we share information about our Visitors and Subscribers collected through the registration process, as well as through online surveys and promotions, with these advertisers.

Additionally, in certain instances, we utilize this information to deliver tailored advertisements or joint ventures. For example, an advertiser or joint venture company may specify the audience they wish to reach and provide us with an advertisement tailored to that audience. Based on the information we have collected, we may then display or send the advertisement to the intended audience. Our company shares personal information about its Visitors or Subscribers with these advertisers or joint venture companies.

Responses to Email Inquiries

When Visitors or Subscribers send email inquiries to our company, the return email address is used to respond to the email inquiry we receive.

Voluntary Customer Surveys

We may conduct both business and individual customer surveys periodically. We encourage our customers to participate in these surveys because they provide us with important information that helps us improve the types of products and services we offer and how we provide them to you.

We may combine (or aggregate) the information we receive from individuals responding to our Customer Surveys 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.

Promotions

Our company may offer polls, contests, sweepstakes, drawings, games, content, or other promotions that are sponsored by or co-branded with third parties. You may be entered into a sweepstakes, contest, or other promotion simply by making a purchase from us or by providing us with personally identifiable information for some other reason or purpose. Due to these third-party relationships, the third parties may obtain personally identifiable information that visitors voluntarily submit to our company. Our company has no control over the third parties’ use of this information.

Additionally, personally identifiable information may be collected when you order products, enter contests, vote in polls, or otherwise express an opinion, subscribe to one of our Services such as our online newsletters, or participate in one of our online forums or communities. The types of personally identifiable information that may be collected at these pages include but may not be limited to: name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number, credit card information, and information about your interests in and use of various products, programs, and services. Our sponsors or third parties may send you material that relates to our company’s services, products, or activities.

Special Cases

It is our company’s policy to use or share the personal information about Visitors or Subscribers in ways described herein without additional notice or means to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

Also, we may disclose personal information about Visitors or Subscribers, or information regarding your use of the Services or websites 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 Terms of Use and Service, or other user policies; to operate the Services properly; or to protect
