HOW WE OBTAIN AND USE INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

We may obtain information about you from several sources in connection with this Site:

  • When You Use or Register for Services. When you use or register for the Services (some of the Services may require that you register and others do not), we collect the information that you provide to us about yourself, such as your name, address, e-mail address, credit card number, debit card number, and telephone number.  We also collect any optional information you elect to tell us about yourself, such as your age, occupation, gender, interests, computer uses and preferences.
  • How We Use Your Information?   We may use your information for billing and internal tracking purposes, to respond to your requests for Services, to communicate with you, to determine what goods and services may be of interest to you, and to make your use of our Services more rewarding.
  • Your IP Address. We may note and store your IP address when you visit our Site.  An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your local network or your computer when you use the Internet, depending on your Internet Service Provider’s (ISP) setup.  IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.  We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer our Site, track user movements, and gather demographic information for marketing purposes.
  • Cookies. We may place “cookies” on your computer to track your use of our Site.  A cookie is a piece of data that is stored on your hard drive and takes up very little room on your system.  It helps us customize our Site for you and make its navigation easier, and estimate the number of persons that use our Site and determine which areas of our Site are the most popular.  Unless you are registered with us, the cookie does not provide us with any personally identifying information about you, such as your name or address. Third party advertisers and Service Providers (as defined below) may also place cookies on your computer; we do not have any control over these cookies or responsibility for information collected through them.
  • Web Logs. We may also utilize web logs to track aggregate information about how the Site is being used.  Web logs track anonymous user information, including the number of visitors to our site, operating systems, IP addresses, and browser type. Unlike cookies, web logs are maintained only on our servers and do not store or place anything on the your computer.
  • Web Beacons. Web pages on our Site, including third-party Advertisements/Offers (as defined below), may contain non-visible electronic images (called “web beacons,” “single-pixel GIFs” or “1×1 GIFs”) that allow the Site to access cookies or to count users who have visited particular pages on the Site. HTML-formatted email messages (messages that include graphics) may also contain web beacons, which allow us to determine which email messages were opened and whether a message was acted upon, as well as access cookies and count users.
  • Accessing the Site From Online Banner Ads. If you come to the Site from an online banner ad on another site, an anonymous identification number may be passed to the Site.  This information cannot be used to gather any personally identifiable information about you. It will only allow us to track the overall effectiveness of our online advertising campaigns.
  • Purchases. When you purchase products or services from our Site, you are entering information into a Web site controlled and operated by a Payment Service Provider on our behalf. You will be interacting directly with the Payment Service Provider.  The Payment Service Provider may collect and use information about you in a way that is different from this Policy.  We encourage you to read the Payment Service Provider’s privacy statement.  The Service Provider may provide us with information about you, in which case our use of such information will be subject to this Policy.
  • Surveys, Contests and Promotions. We may seek information from you from time to time in connection with surveys, contests, promotions or special offers.  Your participation in these activities is completely voluntary.  The information requested may include contact information (such as name and address), demographic information, preferences and interests.  We may use this information to fulfill your requests for Services, to contact you, and to identify promotions by third parties that you may find of interest.
  • Passwords. You may provide us with identifying information, such as a password, in order to access certain Services. Your password will be encrypted and not visible and/or readable by any employee of ours. Do not divulge your password to anyone.  We will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email.  To increase your privacy, be sure to sign off your user account and close your browser when you have completed your use of the Site and Services, particularly if you share a computer with someone else or use a computer in a public place.
  • Advertisements/Offers. Third parties may provide us with advertisements, services, promotions, and other offers (“Advertisements/Offers”) for persons who visit our Site or use our Services.  We may analyze the information we have about you (e.g., from your registration or from cookies), and use that information to display, email or mail the Advertisements/Offers we believe may be of interest to you. Except as indicated below, we do not share your personally identifying information with such third party advertisers.

 

SHARING INFORMATION WITH OTHERS 

We do not sell or provide the personally identifying information that we obtain about you through this Site to third parties unless you request or permit us to do so or the disclosure is permitted or required by law.  Some of the circumstances under which we may provide information about you are described below.

 

  • Your Profile. Certain information in your profile is intended to be public – in particular, user name, school, gender and photo. This information is viewable by the public (including people who are not users of the Site) and by other users. These disclosures are at your own risk.
  • User Generated Content (UGC). If you upload videos and other content to the Site, you may be revealing otherwise private information about yourself or other people. Any videos and other content that you submit to us may be redistributed through the internet and other media channels, and may be viewed by other users or the public.
  • With Your Permission. We may forward personally identifying information about you to others at your request (e.g., to respond to Advertising/Offers, to process a transaction by you, or to verify your identity to the third party). These disclosures are at your own risk.
  • Indirectly. We may permit third parties to mail or email Advertisements/Offers to you in a fashion that prevents them from learning personally identifying information about you. (You will have the opportunity to opt out of receiving such Advertisements/Offers when you provide personally identifying information to us and when such Advertisements/Offers are sent to you.)  For instance, we may require that the third party provide the Advertisement/Offer to us or to a Service Provider, then we or the Service Provider would perform the actual mailing or email.  We will not provide personally identifying information about you to such a Service Provider until it has agreed to keep such information confidential and to use it only for the specific purpose that was authorized.  If you respond to an Advertisement/Offer from a third party, that party may collect and use information about you in a way that is different from this Policy; we encourage you to read the privacy statement of any such third party.
  • Public Forums. Certain portions of our site (e.g., chat rooms, forums and message boards) may be available to the public or other Site users.  If you provide information at such locations, your disclosures will not be private. These disclosures are at your own risk.
  • Anonymous Data. We may disclose aggregate user statistics and demographic information to third parties in order to describe our Services to current and prospective shareholders, investors, advertisers, and other third parties, and for other permissible purposes.  That data will not contain any personally identifying information about you.
  • Surveys/Promotions. If you participate in surveys, promotions or contests conducted at our Site, we may share information with others in the manner described in the surveys, promotions or contests or as described in the previous paragraph (Anonymous Data) or as required by law.  We may post the names and schools of contest winners on our site. Unless otherwise indicated, those activities will be subject to this Policy.
  • Service Providers. To the extent necessary to make the Site and Services available to you, we may provide information to vendors (“Service Providers”) who provide operational services related to the Site and Services, such as hosting, telecommunications and billing.
  • Law Enforcement and Legal Action. We may provide information to law enforcement agencies and other appropriate third parties as required or permitted by law or if we believe that a crime has been or may be committed involving you, your account, the Site or the Services or if we believe that disclosing information will help identify, contact, deter or bring legal action against someone who may be violating the Terms of Service or injuring or interfering with anyone’s rights, property, or personal safety.
  • Technical Problems. We may disclose information if we believe doing so is necessary to detect, prevent, repair or otherwise address any technical problems such as software bugs.
  • Change of Ownership. If the ownership of all or substantially all of our business, or individual business units owned by us, were to change, your user information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. In any such transfer of information, your user information would remain subject to the pre-existing Privacy Policy until you are notified of any changes.

INFORMATION SECURITY
