AdConnect has created this privacy statement
in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The
following discloses our information gathering and dissemination
practices for this website: AdConnect. AdConnect cares about the privacy
of each user of its Web site ("user" or "you"). In order to protect
the privacy of its users, we have adopted the following policy:
When you use the Web site some basic general information is collected. This
information is used to improve the Web site and make your use of the Web
site as enjoyable and efficient as possible. Cookies are also used to help
us determine the various services you use and the support you may need, and
to help us detect and solve any problems you may have when using the Web
site.
This general information is used internally in
connection with AdConnect's business, including our personal, marketing
and advertising efforts.
The Web site is not intended for use by
those under the age of 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect
or use any Personal Information from children younger than 13
years of age without obtaining verifiable parental consent.
Our site's registration process may require
users to give us contact information (like name and email address)
and unique identifiers (like social security number or Tax Identification
Number). The customer's contact information is used to contact
the visitor when necessary. We use it to complete and support
your purchases from and use of the Web site, to comply with any
requirements of law, and to respond to any questions you might
have. Unique identifiers (such as email addresses) are collected
for use as account numbers in our record system. For Classified
Service Provider (CSP) relationships, social security numbers
are used to report income to the appropriate government authorities.
As you browse our web site, we may gather navigational
and clickstream data that shows what pages are visited and how
long various features are used. This information will not reveal
your identity or be linked to you personally. We use this information
to support your use of the Web site and to comply with any requirements
of law. This data may be disclosed to third parties in aggregate
only with no personally identifiable information ever being disclosed
to affiliates.
We do not rent, sell, or otherwise disclose
your email address to third parties. We do not Spam (send advertising
emails or solo ads) our users. Your email address is required
for many parts of our service. An email address is required to
set up an account and use our CSP or Data Feed services.
All email we send is transactional (related to purchases or earnings)
or relationship (about your account or AdConnect information)
and is required in order to maintain your account with us. We
do not send out any bulk advertising email.
We may choose to send a regular email to all
users. This email may contain updates, news, and special offers,
as well as information about your account. This email may contain
advertising or offers from third parties and this will be indicated
as such. If you do not want to receive this email, you
will be able to opt-out from a link in the email as well as from
your account page.
We may send email with the status and performance
of your CSP site(s) to all customers who have created sites. If
you do not want to receive this email, you can opt-out from
the summary area of your Members page.
We will send email to you for other legitimate
purposes as part of the site operation. You will get email confirmation
when you register, send a data feed, create a CSP site, make a
payment, and for other operational reasons.
Your IP address is transmitted to each
web server every time you make a request. We may use your IP
address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer
our Web site. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally
identifiable. This means that a user's session will be tracked,
but the user will be anonymous. We
also use your IP address to make sure you do not see the same
ad repeatedly.
Cookies are very tiny text files that
are stored on your computer when you visit certain web pages
that record your preferences. They cannot harm your computer
and they do not contain any personal or private information.
Most cookies expire after a certain time period. The most popular
browsers, such as Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer, can
be set to give you the option of accepting or rejecting all cookies.
Cookies are required to use our services.
If you manage your CSP sites or Data Feeds on AdConnect we use
cookies to perform "session tracking". The contents of
the cookie is simply a "key" to information that is stored on
our site. The
actual information is not contained in the cookie nor transmitted
over the Internet. The session information stored on our
site might include your account information, or a partially entered
form.
To login to your account to manage and create
CSP sites or Data Feeds, your browser will need to be configured
to accept cookies. Here's how to do it: In Netscape Navigator,
click the Edit menu and select Preferences from the browser's drop-down
menu. In the tree structure, click Advanced (Netscape 4) or Privacy & Security
(Netscape 7). Under Cookies, you can slect the option you feel
most comfortable with that enables cookies. In Internet Explorer,
click the View (older versions of Explorer) or Tools (current version)
menu and select Internet Options from the drop-down menu. Click
the Advanced tab, scroll to the Security heading, and select the
option you feel most comfortable with that enables cookies.
We may disclose your information if necessary to protect our legal rights,
if the information relates to actual or threatened harmful conduct, or AdConnect
has good faith belief that such action is necessary to (1) conform to the
requirements of law or comply with governmental orders, court orders, or
legal process served on AdConnect; or (2) to protect and defend the property
or rights of AdConnect, the users of its website or the public. This includes
exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection
and credit risk protection. If AdConnect should ever file for bankruptcy or
merge with another company, we may sell the information you provide to us
on the AdConnect.com website to a third party or share your personal information
with the company we merge with.
This site contains links to other sites, and this service enables links to
third party sites specified by Data Feeds in advertisements displayed on
CSP and Data Feed customer sites. AdConnect wants you to be aware that when
you click on links (including advertising banners), which take you to third-party
Web sites, you will be subject to such third parties' privacy policies. While
we support the protection of privacy on the Internet, we expressly disclaim
any and all liability for the actions of third parties, including without
limitation actions relating to the use and/or disclosure of Personal Information
by third parties.
From time to time, we may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses
not previously disclosed in our privacy notice. If our information practices
change at some time in the future we will post the policy changes to our Web
site to notify you of these changes and provide you with the ability to opt
out of these new uses. If you are concerned about how your information is used,
you should check back at our Web site periodically.
This site has security measures in place
to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information
under our control. We offer secure web pages to collect certain
kinds of user information and we store certain kinds of data
in encrypted form. We follow reasonable technical and management
practices to help protect the confidentiality, security and integrity
of data stored on our system. While no computer system is completely
secure, we believe the measures implemented by our web site reduce
the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to
the type of data involved. We always use industry-standard encryption
technologies when transferring and receiving consumer data exchanged
with our site.
The Internet is a vast network of computers.
Because the data passes from computer to computer, some Internet
shoppers worry that unauthorized persons may intercept the data
and gain access to credit card numbers, but shopping on a secure
site is actually safer than handing a credit card to a waiter
in a restaurant. Taking the steps below will lower the chances
of interception of your credit card number:
- Limit your online shopping to Internet merchants,
such as us, with sites equipped with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
technology. SSL prevents unauthorized people from intercepting
your data.
- Use a browser that supports SSL. These browsers
show a symbol in the status bar, such as a key or lock, when
you are on a site that uses SSL. Most banks will cover the cost
of fraud resulting from unauthorized use of your credit card
or may limit your liability.
Credit card information collected is encrypted
through Secure Sockets Layer before it is transmitted over the
Internet.
We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies
in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities,
and may in our sole discretion disclose Personal Information or
other information to satisfy any law, regulation, subpoena, or
government request. We reserve the right to release Personal Information
or other information about users who we believe are engaged in
illegal activities or are otherwise in violation of our Terms of
Use, even without a subpoena, warrant or court order, if we believe
in our sole discretion that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate
to operate the Web site, or to protect the rights or property of
AdConnect, its affiliates, or any of their officers, directors,
or employees, agents, third-party content providers, suppliers,
sponsors, or licensors. We also reserve the right to report to
law enforcement agencies any activities we reasonably believe in
our sole discretion to be unlawful.
By using the AdConnect.com web site, you
agree to this Privacy and Security Policy. This is our entire
and exclusive Privacy and Security Policy and it supersedes any
earlier version. Our Terms and Conditions take precedence over
any conflicting Policy provision. We may change our Privacy and
Security Policy by posting a new version of the policy on this
page which it is your responsibility to review frequently.
This Site operates AS-IS and AS-AVAILABLE, without liability of any kind. We
are not responsible for events beyond our direct control. This Privacy
and Security Policy is governed by California law, excluding conflicts
of law principles. Any legal actions against us must be commenced in California
within one year after the claim arose, or be barred.
This site gives users the following options
for changing and modifying
information previously provided.

statement, the practices of this site, or your dealings with
this Web site, you can contact
