_____________ (“Provider”) takes
your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our
privacy policy.
What This Privacy Policy Covers
This policy covers how Provider treats personal
information that Provider collects and receives, including information
related to your past use of Provider products and services. Personal
information is information about you that is personally identifiable like
your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not
otherwise publicly available.
This policy does not apply to the practices of
companies that Provider does not own or control, or to people that Provider
does not employ or manage.
Information Collection and Use
General
Provider and/or its licensors collect personal
information when you register with Provider, when you use Provider
products or services, when you visit Provider pages or the pages of
certain Provider partners, and when you enter promotions or sweepstakes. Provider
and/or its licensors may combine information about you that we have with
information we obtain from business partners or other companies.
When you register we ask for information that may
include your name, email address, birth date, gender, ZIP code,
occupation, industry, and personal interests. When you register with Provider
and sign in to our services, you are not anonymous to us.
Provider and/or its licensors collect information
about your transactions with us and with some of our business partners,
including information about your use of the products and services that we
offer.
Provider and/or its licensors automatically receive
and record information from your computer and browser, including your IP
address, Provider cookie information, software and hardware attributes,
and the page you request.
Provider and/or its licensors may use information for
the following general purposes: to customize the advertising and content
you see, fulfill your requests for products and services, improve our
services, contact you, conduct research, and provide anonymous reporting
for internal and external clients.
Children
When a child under age 13 attempts to register with Provider,
we ask the child to have a parent or guardian create a Provider Family
Account to obtain parental permission.
Provider does not contact children under age 13 about
special offers or for marketing purposes without a parent’s permission.
Provider does not ask a child under age 13 for more
personal information, as a condition of participation, than is reasonably
necessary to participate in a given activity or promotion.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Provider does not rent, sell, or share personal
information about you with other people or non-affiliated companies except
for us and our licensors and vendors to provide products or services you’ve
requested, when we have your permission, or under the following
circumstances:
·We provide the information to trusted partners
who work on behalf of or with Provider under confidentiality agreements. These
companies may use your personal information to help Provider communicate with
you about offers from Provider and our marketing partners. However, these
companies do not have any independent right to share this information.
·We have a parent’s permission to share the
information if the user is a child under age 13. Parents have the option of
allowing Provider to collect and use their child’s information without
consenting to Provider sharing of this information with people and companies
who may use this information for their own purposes.
·We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal
process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal
claims.
·We believe it is necessary to share information
in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities,
suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety
of any person, violations of Provider’s terms of use, or as otherwise required
by law.
·We transfer information about you if Provider is
acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, Provider will notify
you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a
different privacy policy.
Provider displays targeted advertisements based on
personal information. Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may
assume that people who interact with, view, or click targeted ads meet the
targeting criteria—for example, women ages 18-24 from a particular
geographic area.
·Provider does not provide any personal
information to the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad.
However, by interacting with or viewing an ad you are consenting to the
possibility that the advertiser will make the assumption that you meet the
targeting criteria used to display the ad.
·Provider advertisers include financial service
providers (such as banks, insurance agents, stock brokers and mortgage lenders)
and non-financial companies (such as stores, airlines, and software companies).
Provider works with vendors, partners, advertisers,
and other service providers in different industries and categories of
business. For more information regarding providers of products or services
that you’ve requested please read our detailed reference links.
Cookies
Provider may set and access Provider cookies on your
computer.
Provider lets other companies that show
advertisements on some of our pages set and access their cookies on your
computer. Other companies’ use of their cookies is subject to their own
privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers or other companies do not have
access to Provider’s cookies.
Provider uses web beacons to access Provider cookies
inside and outside our network of web sites and in connection with Provider
products and services.

collect or use a child’s information, parents enrolled in Provider Family

account and then visiting our Account Deletion page. Please click here to
