This privacy policy was last revised on May 21, 2007.
We do not send SPAM or sell e-mail addresses.
OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY
This website is owned and operated by Delevante Software Inc. ("we" or "us").
Your privacy when using our site is of the utmost importance to us. We want to
make your experience using it satisfying and safe.
This privacy policy only applies to activities in which you engage, and data
gathered, on this website and double-blind message communications between
members (collectively, the "site") but does not apply to any other website or
offline point of contact between us, or any other company, and consumers. Please
review this privacy policy periodically as we may modify it from time to time.
Each time you visit this site or provide us with information, by doing so you
are accepting the practices described in this privacy policy at that time.
Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you
should fully understand our policy and the terms and conditions surrounding the
capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what
information we gather and how we use it.
INFORMATION WE GATHER AND TRACK
We gather two types of information about users:
-
Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These
are voluntary submissions include, but are not limited to, user registration
information, profile and request posts, and photographs.
-
Information we gather through aggregated tracking information derived mainly
by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information allows us to
better tailor our content to users’ needs and to help our advertisers and
sponsors better understand the demographics of our audience. Because we derive
our revenue mainly from sponsorships and advertising, providing such aggregated
demographic data is essential to keeping our service free to users. Under no
circumstances do we divulge any information about an individual user to a third
party.
We never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under
the age of 14, as we require that all users represent to us that they are at
least 14 years old.
Information Submitted by Users
The service we offer requires voluntary submission of personal information by
users. In order for you to effectively use the services of this website, we may collect
"personal information" which is information that could be used to contact you
directly (without using the site) such as your e-mail address or phone number,
or "demographic information" which represents information that you submit, or
that we collect, that is not personal information. Demographic information may
include, but is not limited to, user name, the city you live in, gender,
age/birth date, spoken languages, occupation, level of education,
ethnicity, faith, height, weight, fitness information, skill level
in a given sport, browsing history information, searching history information,
and the content of communications between you and other members over the site,
subject to the rest of this paragraph. Demographic information is divided into
two categories: 1) "non-public information", which consists of one-on-one
communications between you and other members of the site; and 2) "public
information", which consists of all other demographic information. We ask that
you do not enter personal information into your "profiles" or "requests" (for
example, do not use your phone number or e-mail address as your descriptions, or
include your name or address in your written responses), because if you do then
it may be posted publicly on the site, and the information will then be treated
as "demographic information" that is "public information." If you add
photographs to your publicly visible profiles or to your member page, some of
your information may become personally identifiable information.
Information Not Directly Submitted by Users
Usage Tracking
We track user traffic and usage patterns throughout our site. We break down
overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and
MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information
contained in every user's browser). Like many websites, each time you visit this
site, we automatically collect your IP address (a series of numbers identifying
your computer on the Internet) and the web page you came from. In order to
administer and optimize the site for you and to diagnose problems with our site,
we use your IP address to help identify you and to gather broad demographic
information about you.
We sometimes track and catalog the search criteria that users enter in our
search functions. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our
sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track
what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This
helps us continue to build a better service for you.
Cookies
Like many websites, this site uses cookies to keep track of your activity on the
site and enhance your experience on the site. We also use cookies to deliver
content specific to your interests, and if you choose, to save your user name
and password or other preferences and settings so you do not have to re-enter
them each time you visit the site.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your
browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning
message with each cookie. However, if you reject or disable cookies on your
browser you may not be able to use this website.
USE OF INFORMATION
We use your e-mail address and your other personal information to help us
efficiently operate the site, to contact you in connection with your activities
on the site (including, but not limited to, confirmation e-mails or important
news that could affect your status on our site), and to forward messages to you
from other site members. These types of communications may contain commercial
messages such as banner ads and special offers.
We also use personal information to send you newsletters, information, offers
and other promotional materials for our or third parties’ goods or services. We
attempt to send you offers that are of value to you, exclusive offers, or
special event information. The site provides you with options to decline to
receive selected communications.
To operate the site, including supporting your activities on the site, we may
share your personal information with our agents, representatives, contractors
and service providers so they can provide us with support services, e-mail
origination, receipt or support services, customer relationship management
services, and sweepstakes and promotional fulfillment. We require these entities
not to use your information for any other purpose.
By electing to receive communications (such as e-mails or magazine
subscriptions) or electing to participate in contests, sweepstakes or other
programs (such as discount or rewards programs), offered or sponsored by third
parties on the site, you consent to our providing your personal information to
those third parties. Those third parties may use your personal information in
accordance with their own privacy policies. You will need to contact those third
parties to instruct them directly regarding your preferences for the use of your
personal information by them. Additionally, you agree that we may use and
disclose all such information so submitted to such third parties in the same
manner in which we are entitled to use and disclose any other information you
submit to us.
Any third party with whom we are allowed to share your personal information is
authorized to use your personal information in accordance with our contractual
arrangements with such third parties and in accordance with their own privacy
policies, over which we have no control, and you agree that we are not
responsible or liable for any of their actions or omissions. Those who contact
you will need to be instructed directly by you regarding your preferences for
the use of your personal information by them.
We may review all demographic information. We may use public information to
enable other users to find your profiles or requests and to communicate with you. We
may use demographic information to tailor the site and communications to your
interests. We may also share demographic information with advertisers on an
anonymous and aggregated basis (without telling the advertisers your identity).
One of the reasons we may do this is to increase the likelihood that our
advertisers’ goods and services will appeal to our users, so that we may target
specific ads at specific demographic groups. Our sharing of demographic
information with advertisers is anonymous (we do not tell advertisers which
particular users are members of which demographic groups), subject to the rest
of this privacy policy. When you respond to an advertisement, however, we ask
you to remember that if that ad that is targeted to a demographic group and you
decide to give the advertiser your personal information, then the advertiser may
be able to identify you as being a member of that demographic group.
We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and
don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual
users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us
continue to build a better service for you. We track search criteria entered in
search functions as one of many measures of what interests our users.
We create aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for
advertisers, sponsors and partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise
more effectively, and allows our users to receive advertisements that are
pertinent to their needs. An advertiser or sponsor will never know that a
specific user clicked their ad.
Your personal information may be passed on to a third party in the event of a
transfer of ownership or assets, or a bankruptcy. We may also disclose personal
information or financial information when we determine that such disclosure is
necessary to comply with applicable law, to cooperate with law enforcement or to
protect our interests or safety and that of other visitors to the site.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
We use the above-described information to tailor our content to suit your needs
and help our advertisers better understand our audience's demographics. This is
essential to keeping our service free. We will not share information about
individual users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or
valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the
public.
SECURITY
When it comes to privacy on our site, all member profiles, requests, and photos are
screened by real people for appropriateness when posted to the site. In
addition, all communication between members is done through our proprietary
double-blind messaging system, with members using an anonymous user name and
not his or her real e-mail address. This ensures that no personal contact
information is revealed until a member is ready to do so.
The account of every member is password-protected. We take every precaution to
protect the information of our members, as well as information collected from
other users of our site. We use industry standard measures to protect all
information that is stored on our servers and within our database. We limit the
access to this information to those employees who need access to perform their
job function such as our customer service personnel.
Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as
necessary and only authorized individuals have access to the information
provided by our users. If you have any questions about the security at our
website, please contact us.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give you the opportunity to opt-out of certain communications and modify
personal information or demographic information you have provided to us, and to
hide demographic information from, or make demographic information visible to,
the public users of the site, at any time in the My Stuff
section of the site. Please be aware that it may take several hours for the
changes you make to take effect on the public areas of the site. We thank you
for your patience. Please note that changing or deleting any of this personal
information or demographic information, or otherwise opting-out of receipt of
our e-mail communications, will only change or delete the data in our database
for purposes of future activities on the site and for managing future
communications from us. These changes and deletions will not change or delete
e-mails or information that we may have already sent you, or that have already
been forwarded to other users or any other third parties, all as provided above
in this privacy policy.
LINKS AND ADVERTISERS
This website contains links to other websites. These include links placed by us
(such as in advertisements) as well as those placed by our members. Please be
aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of any other
website. We encourage all users of this website to be aware of when they leave
our website and to read the privacy policies of each and every website that
collects personally identifiable information. This privacy policy applies solely
to information collected by us through this website.
The ads appearing on this website are delivered to users by our Web advertising
partners. Our Web advertising partners may use cookies. Doing this allows the ad
network to recognize your computer each time they send you an online
advertisement. In this way, ad networks may compile information about where you,
or others who are using your computer, saw their advertisements and determine
which ads are clicked on. This information allows an ad network to deliver
targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. We do
not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed on the computer
of any user of this website by the third-party ad servers or ad networks. This
privacy statement covers the use of cookies by our site only, and does not cover
the use of cookies by any other party.
