We have established this privacy policy (hereinafter referred to as the “Privacy Policy”) to outline our information gathering and dissemination practices. We recognize the importance of privacy to Internet users and have designed our service accordingly. You agree to this Privacy Policy in its entirety when you: 1) access or use our “Website”; and/or 2) select and register for an offer on the Website by clicking on the presented offer(s). If you do not agree with the terms and conditions of our Privacy Policy, please do not use or access the Website. If you are a resident of California and wish to opt-out of having your personal information disclosed to any third party for direct marketing purposes, please email us.
Information We Collect:
The information we collect generally includes personal details about you that you provide on the Website. The personally identifiable information we may collect includes: your name; address; email address; telephone number; fax number; information about your interests in and use of various products, programs, and services; and educational level and interests. While we are not currently collecting credit card information, we reserve the right to do so in the future. If we, or any of our affiliates and/or subsidiaries, collect credit card-specific information, it will be kept confidential and will not be shared with any third parties (other than consumer credit agencies) without the customer’s prior informed consent. However, we and our affiliates and subsidiaries reserve the right to share with third parties the fact that they have credit card information on file for specific customers, without sharing the actual credit card information, unless the customer has given prior informed consent. Like most standard website servers, we use log files. Log files track anonymous user information including, but not limited to, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks. This information is tracked to analyze trends, administer the Website, track users’ movements in aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. The information tracked via log files is not linked to personally identifiable information.
Cookies:
The Website uses a “cookie” to assign a unique identifier to your computer. The cookies we use are persistent files that your web browser places on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies may be used to save information on past activities and other preferences, so that you do not need to reenter information each time you visit the Website, and to deliver content specific to your interests. No personally identifiable information is gathered by the cookie.
How We Use Your Information:
Any personal information you provide to us remains your property. However, by submitting that information to our company, you grant us the right to use your personal information for any legal purpose including, but not limited to: a) providing promotional offers to you via email advertising and/or online banner advertising; b) transferring the personal information you provided to a third party when necessary to receive a product, service, or information that you may have requested from such third party while using the Website; c) tracking compliance with our Terms and Conditions; and d) for validation, suppression, content improvement, and feedback purposes. By submitting your information to the Website, you grant our company the right to use that information for marketing purposes, and agree to receive email marketing from the Website. We may maintain separate email lists for different purposes. To end your email subscription to a particular list, you must follow the instructions contained in any email correspondence you receive from us. Unsubscribing from one list will not automatically unsubscribe you from all email lists. We only send email marketing to individuals who have agreed, whether by visiting this Website or through third-party websites, to receive email marketing from us. We do not send unsolicited bulk email. Therefore, certain statutes requiring specific formatting for unsolicited bulk email may not apply to the bulk email sent by our company. While we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information in certain instances, such as: 1) when required by law and we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, and/or subpoena; 2) in the event our company is sold or acquired; or 3) if we believe the Website is being, or has been, used in violation of our terms and conditions or to commit unlawful acts. Moreover, you consent to the disclosure of any record or communication to any third party when our company, in its sole discretion, determines the disclosure to be appropriate, including, but not limited to, sharing your email address with other third parties for suppression purposes in compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, as amended.
Sharing of Information:
Our company provides you with the opportunity to receive special offers, products, and/or services from other third-party companies. To receive such offers, products, and/or services, your personally identifiable information supplied to us during the registration process will be shared with such third-party companies so they can provide the product or service you have ordered from them without requiring you to complete another registration form. By submitting your email address at the Website, you agree to receive email marketing from our company. We may share our user information and/or collaborate with other businesses to present selected opportunities to our users. We can offer third-party services to you, in part, based on your willingness to be contacted by our third-party advertisers. Additionally, you agree that such action constitutes a purchase, inquiry, and/or application for purposes of the Amended Telemarketing Sales Rule, 16 C.F.R.
