Please be aware that purchasing our product subscribes you to our mailing lists.
We crafted this Privacy Policy to underscore our steadfast dedication to privacy and security. This policy elucidates how our company amasses information from all users of our Internet services (the "Services"), encompassing both those who access some of our Services without accounts ("Visitors") and those who purchase Products and/or pay a subscription fee for our Service ("Members"). It details how we utilize the information collected and the choices Visitors and Members possess regarding the collection and use of such data. We implore you to peruse this Privacy Policy attentively.
Personal Information Our Company Collects and Its Utilization
Introduction: Our company gathers information in various manners from Visitors and Members who engage with different segments of our Services and the web network accessible via our Service. We leverage this information primarily to tailor your experience with our Products and Services and typically refrain from sharing this information with third parties. However, we may disclose personal information if we receive prior consent from you or in exceptional circumstances, such as when disclosure is legally mandated or in specific scenarios described herein.
Registration: Members may be required to furnish certain personal details when signing up for our Products or Services, including name, address, phone number, billing information (e.g., credit card number), and the type of personal computer used to access the Services. The personal data collected during registration is used to manage each Member's account (e.g., for billing purposes) and is not shared with third parties unless expressly stated otherwise or in special situations.
In instances where our company jointly promotes our Services with a partner, we may provide the partner with certain personal information, such as the name, address, and username of individuals who subscribed to the Services as a result of the joint promotion, solely to assess the promotion's results. The partner is prohibited from using personal information for any other purpose.
We may also generate aggregate and non-identifying profiles from personal information provided during registration (e.g., the total number of Members but not their names). This aggregated information may be used to sell advertisements that appear on the Services.
Our Company Partners and Sponsors: Certain products and services may be offered to Visitors and Members in collaboration with an affiliate, independent contractor seller, or non-affiliated partner. To provide some of these products and services, the partner may need to collect and maintain personal information. You will be notified before any such data is collected or transferred and may choose not to use that particular service or feature.
Additionally, our partners may have advertisements or co-branded web pages 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 to administer the co-branded products or services offered.
Online Shopping: At certain websites, you can purchase products and services or register to receive materials, such as newsletters, catalogs, or updates on new products and services. Often, 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 the recipient, you may need to provide information about the recipient, including their name, address, and phone number. Our company does not control how third parties use any personal information you provide when placing such orders. Exercise caution when doing so.
When you order services or products directly from our company, we use the personal information you provide solely to process that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except as necessary to complete the order.
Online Advertisements: Our company may display online advertisements. In such cases, we share aggregated and non-identifying information about our Visitors and Members, collected through the registration process as well as online surveys and promotions, with these advertisers.
In some instances, we use aggregated and non-identifying information to deliver tailored advertisements or joint ventures. For example, an advertiser or joint venture company may specify the audience they want to reach and provide us with an advertisement tailored to that audience. Based on the aggregated information we have collected, we may then display or send the advertisement to the targeted 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 solely to answer the email inquiry received. Our company does not use the return email address for any other purpose and does not share it with any third party.
Voluntary Customer Surveys: We may periodically conduct customer surveys, both business and individual. We encourage our customers to participate because these surveys provide valuable insights that help us improve our products and services. Your personal information and responses will remain confidential, even if a third party conducts the survey. Participation in our customer surveys is voluntary.
We may aggregate the information received from survey respondents to create broader, generic responses (e.g., gender, age, residence, hobbies, education, employment, industry sector). This aggregated information helps us improve our services and develop new offerings. This aggregated, non-personally identifying information may be shared with third parties.
Promotions: Our company may offer polls, contests, sweepstakes, drawings, games, or other promotions sponsored or co-branded with third parties. In certain instances, we may have to provide personally identifiable information of the winners to third parties. Our company does not control how third parties use this information.
You may be entered in a promotion simply by making a purchase or providing personally identifiable information for some other reason. When winners are chosen, only the names and personally identifiable information of the winners are shared with the entity administering the promotion to notify them.
Special Cases: It is our company's policy not to use or share personal information about Visitors or Members in ways unrelated to those described above without providing you an opportunity to opt out or prohibit such unrelated uses.
However, we may disclose personal information about Visitors or Members, or information regarding your use of the Services or websites accessible through our Services, if we believe it is necessary to do so, including: credit agencies, collection agencies, merchant database agencies, law enforcement, or to comply with laws, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental or legal requests for such information; to disclose information to identify, contact, or take legal action against someone violating our Acceptable Use Policy or Terms of Service; to operate the Services properly; or to protect our company and our Members.
