This Privacy
Policy explains our practices for collecting and handling your personal
information as an IGLUED Member.
IGLUED MEMBER
PRIVACY POLICY
This policy
covers personal information about you as a Member of the IGLUED Service
(“IGLUED Service” or "Service"), including the personal information
we collect through the sites, services and software that we use to provide you
our Service. Some of these offerings may provide you with additional
information and choices about your privacy, which you should read if you take
advantage of these offerings.
The IGLUED Member
Privacy Policy does not apply to other companies' Web sites and services that
you may access outside the IGLUED Service. The personal information collected
or received by these other companies is subject to their own privacy policies.
Personal
Information Collected
Your IGLUED
Member information consists of personally identifiable information collected or
received about you when you interact with the IGLUED Service, including IGLUED
sites and pages, services, and software (collectively IGLUED Service
"offerings"). Depending on how you use the IGLUED Service, your
IGLUED Member information may include:
- registration-related
information (such as name, home or work addresses, e-mail addresses, telephone
and fax numbers);
- information
about your visits to IGLUED sites and pages, and your responses to the
offerings and advertisements presented on these sites and pages;
- information
about the searches you perform through the IGLUED Service and how you use
the results of those searches;
- information
about the IGLUED Service offerings that you use, including IGLUED premium
services, and how frequently you use them;
- information
about your IGLUED preferences (such as a zip code for localization
purposes);
- customer
service information about you as an IGLUED Member (such as account
history, your or others' complaints, and your interactions with IGLUED support
services online); or
- other
information specifically related to your use of a particular IGLUED Service
offering.
Your IGLUED
Member information may also include certain technical and diagnostic
information gathered or received when you use the IGLUED Service. Some of the
technical information that may be collected or received includes: the type of
browser you are using (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer), the type of
operating system you are using (e.g., Windows XP or Mac OS), CPU type (e.g.,
Pentium), the manner in which you connect to the Internet (e.g., connection
speed through narrowband or broadband access); Internet protocol address; other
information about your geographic location; or data relating to computer
malfunctions or problems occurring when you use your computer with the IGLUED
Service. Additionally, we may collect information about other software on your
computer for the limited purpose of protecting your security or improving your
online experience.
Your IGLUED
Member information may be supplemented with additional information, including
publicly-available information and information from other companies.
Use
of Personal Information
Your IGLUED
Member information may be used:
- to operate
and improve the IGLUED Service and enhance your online experience;
- to
personalize the content and advertisements you receive;
- to identify
or remediate possible threats to your safety, security, privacy, or to
your computer's security;
- to
communicate with you and respond to your inquiries;
- to conduct
research about your use of the IGLUED Service; and
- to help
offer you other products, programs, or services that may be of interest.
IGLUED does not
rent or sell your IGLUED Member information (such as name, address, telephone
number, screen name and credit card information) to third parties. We may share
IGLUED Member information in order to jointly present you offers with or on
behalf of our business partners, but we do not allow these partners to use your
IGLUED Member information for any other purpose. Except for these joint offers,
IGLUED will only share your IGLUED Member information with third parties to
provide products and services you have requested, or when we have your consent.
Your IGLUED
Member information, including the contents of your private online
communications, may be accessed and disclosed in response to legal process (for
example, a court order, search warrant or subpoena); in other circumstances in
which IGLUED believes the IGLUED Service is being used in the commission of a
crime; when we have a good faith belief that there is an emergency that poses a
threat to the safety of you or another person; or when necessary either to
protect the rights or property of IGLUED, or for us to render the service you
have requested.
IGLUED may use
agents and contractors in order to help operate the IGLUED Service. We require
agents and contractors that have access to IGLUED Member information to protect
this information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy, and prohibit
them from using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the
services they are performing for the IGLUED Service.
In the event that
ownership of the IGLUED Service was to change as a result of a merger,
acquisition, or transfer to another company, your IGLUED Member information may
be transferred. If such a transfer would result in a material change in the use
of your IGLUED Member information, we will provide notice of this change.
Cookies and Web Beacons
The IGLUED
Service may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies in combination
with your IGLUED Member information to enhance and personalize your experience
on the IGLUED Service, including to operate and improve offerings through the
IGLUED Service; to help authenticate you when you use the IGLUED Service; to
remember your preferences and registration information; to present and help
measure and research the effectiveness of IGLUED Service offerings,
advertisements, and e-mail communications (by determining which IGLUED Service
e-mails you open and act upon); and to customize the content and advertisements
provided to you through the IGLUED Service.
The IGLUED
Service and its advertisers may also use ad network providers to help present
advertisements on the IGLUED Service and other Web sites. These ad network
providers may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies on your
computer to help present, better target, and measure the effectiveness of their
advertisements, using data gathered over time and across their networks of Web
pages to determine or predict the characteristics and preferences of their
audience. The IGLUED Service may share certain non-personally identifiable
information about you as an IGLUED Service Member (such as age or zip code)
with certain ad network providers to help them deliver more relevant
advertisements through their ad networks. The use of cookies, web beacons, or
similar technologies by other ad network providers is subject to their own
privacy policies, not the IGLUED Service's.
Our
Commitment to Security
There are many
ways for you to access the IGLUED Service or other IGLUED offerings, including
through high speed and wireless connections provided by other companies. To
help protect the IGLUED Member information you provide to IGLUED, we use a
variety of safeguards, including
- technical,
administrative, and physical controls
- encryption
and authentication systems
- passwords;
and
- agreements
with contractors and vendors requiring them to protect the
confidentiality, safety, and security of IGLUED Member information
Each and every
IGLUED employee must acknowledge that they understand and will comply with the
IGLUED Privacy Policy. IGLUED authorizes its employees to obtain access to
IGLUED Member information only to perform their particular functions, and uses
technological and other control procedures to help limit such access. Employees
who violate our policies and practices are subject to disciplinary action, up
to and including termination, or prosecution.
IGLUED has
established these safeguards to help prevent unauthorized access to or misuse
of your IGLUED Member information, but cannot guarantee that your personally
identifiable information will never be disclosed in a manner inconsistent with
this Privacy Policy (for example, as a result of unauthorized acts by third
parties that violate applicable law or the policies of the IGLUED Service and
its affiliates).
Your IGLUED
Member information may be collected and stored in the United States or other
countries.
Protecting Children
You must be 13
years of age or older to use the IGLUED Services. IGLUED has created a Parental
Control feature that allows the parent to access the minor’s site.
