PRIVACY

Personally Identifiable Information
You may choose to provide personal information (such as your name, address, telephone number and email address) on this Site. Here are some of the ways you may provide the information and the types of information you may submit.

(a) Contact Us
If you email us through an email or Contact Us link on this Site, we ask you for information such as your name and email address in order to respond to your questions and comments. We will only use this information to respond to your inquiry, unless you authorize additional use of your information.

(b) Subscriber Information
We collect personally identifiable information about our subscribers based on: information gathered at the time of registration, Subscriber interaction and response to subsequent electronic mailings and web site use, information provided by our Clients and information appended from data aggregators. Information collected may include name, email address, postal address, gender, birth date, telephone number, cell number, activities, interests, user behavior and other demographic information. This information enables us to better tailor our content to Subscribers' needs and to help our Clients promote and sell their products and services.
To the extent the Subscriber information you provide to us includes a wireless device, your provision of such information represents your agreement to be contacted on that device by email, text (SMS) message and telemarketing, and your receipt of notice that your wireless provider may charge you in connection with receipt of incoming calls or messages. You may revoke authorization to be contacted by such means at any time (see the Opt-Out Policy section below).

Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We collect certain aggregate and non-personally identifiable information, as described below, when you visit this Site. This information does not relate to a single identifiable visitor. It tells us such things as how many users visited our Site and the pages accessed.

Log Files.  Like most Web site servers we use log files. Log file information is not linked to personally identifiable information.

Cookies.  Like many sites, we collect information about online behavior using cookies. Cookies contain identification information that enables us to offer you the most relevant advertisements and other content. If you have set your computer to reject cookies you can still browse our Site anonymously until such time as you wish to register for an offer or service.

Web Beacons. Pages on our Site may contain "web beacons" (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags and clear GIFs). Web beacons allow third parties to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the beacon appears, the time the page containing the beacon was viewed, the type of browser used to view the page, and the information in cookies set by the third party. We use log files to store the data that is collected through web beacons.


Client Offers and Third Parties
By registering at this Site, you agree that this act constitutes an inquiry and/or application for purposes of telemarketing laws, and notwithstanding that your telephone and/or cell number may be listed with the federal Do-Not-Call Registry you expressly opt-in to: (a) receive an offer or service from one or more of our Clients; (b) receive future information about products and services from us and from a variety of third parties to whom we may provide your information; (c) permit us, our Clients and other third parties to contact you pursuant to the business relationship we have established using the information you provided to us for any purpose such as contacting you by e-mail address, phone and/or cell number (including use of automated dialing equipment), text (SMS) message or any means of communication for any purpose that, among other things, your wireless device may be capable of receiving (e.g. mms, video etc. ). Please see the opt-out procedures below if you do not want us to share your information with other companies or organizations.

Other Circumstances
We may share personal information about you:

  • With our service providers and business partners who work on behalf of or with us under confidentiality agreements. These parties may use your personal information to help us communicate with you about offers from us and our Clients. These companies do not have any independent right to use or disclose your information.
  • To respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process, or to exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
  • If we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or violations of our terms of use.
  • In the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use the personal information you have provided through this Site in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Opt-Out Policy
You may exercise your option to not receive any future communications from us by clicking here. Subscribers should note that unsubscribing from this Site's electronic mailings will not automatically unsubscribe you from any communications you have elected to receive from our Clients or other third parties. To opt-out of future Client and third party offers, set your Communication Preferences in the Customer Status Center to indicate that you do not wish to receive any further information. Please note that you may still receive information from third parties to whom we have disclosed your information to prior to the time you opted-out. You should contact each third party in the event that you no longer want to receive information from such party.

Global Data Processing and Safe Harbor Principles
The information that we collect from you may be transferred to, stored at and processed at a destination outside of the U.S. By submitting your personal information, you agree to this transfer, storage and processing. Where the privacy laws of these countries are not as comprehensive as those in the US, we will take steps to ensure that your privacy rights are respected. In order to bridge the different privacy approaches between the U.S. and the European Union, the U.S. Department of Commerce, in consultation with the European Commission, developed a "Safe Harbor" framework. We adhere to the Safe Harbor framework which includes the privacy principles of Notice, Choice, Onward Transfer, Access and Accuracy, Security, and Oversight/Enforcement. We are currently seeking participation in the Safe Harbor program. To learn more about the Safe Harbor, click here.
