PRIVACY POLICY
ACQUISITION AFFILIATE, LLC
Last Updated: January 6, 2009
We strive to offer our visitors the many
advantages of Internet technology and to provide
an interactive and personalized experience. We
may use Personally Identifiable Information
(your name, e-mail address, street address,
telephone number) subject to the terms of this
privacy policy. We will never sell, barter, or
rent your email address to any unauthorized
third party. Period."
How we gather information from users.
How we collect and store information depends
on the page you are visiting, the activities in
which you elect to participate and the services
provided. For example, you may be asked to
provide information when you register for access
to certain portions of our site or request
certain features, such as newsletters or when
you make a purchase. You may provide information
when you participate in sweepstakes and
contests, message boards and chat rooms, surveys
and other interactive areas of our site. Like
most Web sites, we also collect information
automatically and through the use of electronic
tools that may be transparent to our visitors.
For example, we may log the name of your
Internet Service Provider or use cookie
technology to recognize you and hold information
from your visit. Among other things, the cookie
may store your user name and password, sparing
you from having to re-enter that information
each time you visit, or may control the number
of times you encounter a particular
advertisement while visiting our site. As we
adopt additional technology, we may also gather
information through other means. In certain
cases, you can choose not to provide us with
information, for example by setting your browser
to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you
may be unable to access certain portions of the
site or may be asked to re-enter your user name
and password, and we may not be able to
customize the site’s features according to your
preferences.
What we do with the information we collect.
Like other Web publishers, we collect
information to enhance your visit and deliver
more individualized content and advertising. We
respect your privacy and do not share your
information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does
not personally identify you) may be used in many
ways. For example, we may combine information
about your usage patterns with similar
information obtained from other users to help
enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn
which pages are visited most or what features
are most attractive). Aggregated Information may
occasionally be shared with our advertisers and
business partners. Again, this information does
not include any Personally Identifiable
Information about you or allow anyone to
identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable
Information collected on to communicate with you
about your registration and customization
preferences; our Terms of Service and Privacy
Policy; services and products offered by and
other topics we think you might find of
interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected
may also be used for other purposes, including
but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce
transactions, administration of sweepstakes and
contests, and other communications with you.
Certain third parties who provide technical
support for the operation of our site (our Web
hosting service for example) may access such
information. We will use your information only
as permitted by law. In addition, from time to
time as we continue to develop our business, we
may sell, buy, merge or partner with other
companies or businesses. In such transactions,
user information may be among the transferred
assets. We may also disclose your information in
response to a court order, at other times when
we believe we are reasonably required to do so
by law, in connection with the collection of
amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law
enforcement authorities whenever we deem it
appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not
provide you with notice prior to disclosure in
such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and
advertisements.
We expect partners, advertisers and
affiliates to respect the privacy of our users.
Be aware, however, that third parties, including
our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other
content providers accessible through our site,
may have their own privacy and data collection
policies and practices. For example, during your
visit to our site you may link to, or view as
part of a frame on a page, certain content that
is actually created or hosted by a third party.
Also, though you may be introduced to, or be
able to access, information, Web sites,
features, contests or sweepstakes offered by
other parties we are not responsible for the
actions or policies of such third parties. You
should check the applicable privacy policies of
those third parties when providing information
on a feature or page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers,
promotional partners or other third parties may
use cookies or other technology to attempt to
identify some of your preferences or retrieve
information about you. For example, some of our
advertising is served by third parties and may
include cookies that enable the advertiser to
determine whether you have seen a particular
advertisement before. Other features available
on our site may offer services operated by third
parties and may use cookies or other technology
to gather information. We do not control the use
of this technology by third parties or the
resulting information, and are not responsible
for any actions or policies of such third
parties.
You should also be aware that if you
voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable
Information on message boards or in chat areas,
that information can be viewed publicly and can
be collected and used by third parties without
our knowledge and may result in unsolicited
messages from other individuals or third
parties. Such activities are beyond the control
of and this policy.
