Introduction
We only collect personally identifying information
about you when you specifically and knowingly provide it to us.
Basic Statement
Personally identifying information that you provide
will not be made available to third parties outside of our network without
your explicit permission.
We collect personally identifying information about
you only when you specifically and knowingly provide it to us. Your personally
identifying information will be used to personalize your experience within
us, or for such other purposes as are described at any point where we
collect this information from you.
Information that personally identifies you will be
kept strictly confidential unless you specifically authorize it to be
made available, as in the case of profiles.
Personally identifying information which
you choose to provide to another party or Web site will be subject to
their privacy policy. For example, if you send your resume to an employer
or recruiter you found while searching our site, information you provide
to that party is subject to their privacy policy rather than ours.
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. You may provide information when
you participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms,
and other interactive areas of our site. Like most Web sites, OzFreeOnline.com
also collects 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 individualised 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 currently use the following companies to help us collect Aggregated
Information:
* Google Analytics
* Nielsen NetRatings
* StatCounter
What Is Personally Identifying Information?
Personally identifying information is information
that can be explicitly used to identify and/or contact you as an individual.
This includes, information like your real name, e-mail address, mailing
address, phone number, etc. Information that, by itself, cannot be explicitly
linked with your real identity is not considered personally identifying.
Examples of this are favorite or bookmarked Web sites, or your preferences
with respect to how you wish to see a given page or site set up according
to the selections you choose.
On occasion, we may ask you for personal information
such as your name or address. We do this when you register for contests/promotions
or services that require registration or subscription. We need to collect
this information for fulfilling prizes, and for tracking/verifying compliance
with our policies. It may also be needed for purposes of compliance with
federal/state and local laws and/or for editorial and feedback solicitation
purposes. When we intend to use your personal information, we tell you
up front. This way you can decide whether you want to give us the information
or not.
Links To Other Sites
Users should be aware that when you are on our site,
you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There
are links to other sites that take you outside our service. This includes
links from advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use the our logo
as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send their own
cookies to users, collect data or solicit personal information. Always
be aware of where you end up!
Our policy does not extend to anything that is inherent
in the operation of the Internet, and therefore beyond our control, and
is not to be applied in any manner contrary to applicable law or governmental
regulation.
E-Mail To Us
When you send us e-mail, we will use your name and
e-mail address only to respond to the concerns you write to us with. Your
e-mail may be shared with appropriate people within the organization to
help us respond to your concerns and improve the service.
Changes To This Policy
From time to time, we may introduce new products and
services to its users and members. We reserve the right to modify this
policy at any time by notifying customers, via our site, of a new privacy
policy. You can send e-mail to support with any further questions.
