| SiteGalore recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of all information
provided by users of our web sites and all of our customers.
We created this policy with a fundamental respect for our users'
right to privacy and to guide our relationships with our users.
Information Collection and Use
SiteGalore collects information from our website users, subscribers
and customers. In this section of our privacy policy, we will
describe the type of information we collect and how we use
it to provide better services to our customers.
Registration
When evaluating some of our products online, users must first
register. During registration, users are required to give
their contact information (such as name, e-mail address, mailing
address and phone number). We also may collect demographic
information (such as job title and purchasing responsibilities,
company information and professional certification). For internal
purposes, we use this information to communicate with users
and provide requested services, and, for our website visitors,
to provide a more personalized experience on our sites. We
use aggregate demographic information about our audience to
improve our service, for marketing purposes and/or industry
reporting purposes.
Communications with Us
We have features where users can submit information to us
(such as our feedback forms). Requests for service, support
or information may be forwarded as needed to best respond
to a specific request. We may retain e-mails and other information
sent to us for our internal administrative purposes, and to
help us to serve customers better.
Communications from Us:
Service Updates,
Special Offers
In order to best serve our customers, we may send updates
that contain important information about our sites and services.
For example, we send new members a welcoming message, and
verify password and username for our password-protected sites.
We may also communicate with a user to provide requested services
and for account-related issues via e-mail, phone or regular
mail.
We offer our users the option to receive information about
our company, related products, services and special deals.
Users can choose not to receive these communications, as set
forth in our Permission section below.
Automatic Data Collection
Our web sites have features that automatically collect information
from users, to deliver content specific to users' interests
and to honor their preferences. This information assists us
in creating sites that will serve the needs of our users.
For our internal purposes, we gather date, time, browser
type, navigation history and IP address of all visitors to
our site. This information does not contain anything that
can identify users personally. We use this information for
our internal security audit log, trend analysis and system
administration, and to gather broad demographic information
about our user base for aggregate use.
We may combine demographic information supplied by a subscriber
at registration with site usage data to provide general profiles,
in aggregate non-personally identifiable form, about our users
and their preferences in the content of the site and advertising.
We may share this composite information with our advertisers
and business affiliates to help them better understand our
services.
With whom your Information is Shared
we do not share personally identifiable information with other
companies, apart from those acting as our agents in providing
our product(s)/service(s), and which agree to use it only
for that purpose and to keep the information secure and confidential.
Also, our parent, subsidiary and affiliate companies, entities
into which our company may be merged, or entities to which
any of our assets, products, sites or operations may be transferred,
will be able to use personal information. We will also disclose
information we maintain when required to do so by law, for
example, in response to a court order or a subpoena or other
legal obligation, in response to a law enforcement agency's
request, or in special cases when we have reason to believe
that disclosing this information is necessary to identify,
contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing
injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally)
our rights or property.
We may share aggregate information, which is not personally
identifiable, with others. This information may include usage
and demographic data, but it will not include personal information.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such
as zip code), or if a user no longer desires our product(s)/service(s),
we provide a way to correct or update that user's personal
data. The user should contact Customer Support for the applicable
product or service.
Security
We use reasonable precautions to protect our users' personal
information and to store it securely. Sensitive information
that is transmitted to us online (such as credit card number)
is encrypted and is transmitted to us securely. In addition,
access to all of our users' information, not just the sensitive
information mentioned above, is restricted. Only employees
who need the information to perform a specific job (for example,
a billing clerk or a customer service representative) are
granted access to personally identifiable information. Finally,
the servers on which we store personally identifiable information
are kept in a secure environment.
Links
Our web sites contain links to other sites. SiteGalore is
not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such
other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they
leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each
web site to which we may link that may collect personally
identifiable information.
Notification and Changes
If we change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
on this page so our users are aware of what information we
collect, how we use it and under which circumstances, if any,
we disclose it. Users should check this policy frequently
to keep abreast of any changes.
