PRIVACY
POLICY - COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY
This site
is owned and operated by CreditSecretsRevealed.org. Your privacy on
the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At
CreditSecretsRevealed.org, we want to make your experience online
satisfying and safe.
Because we
gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you
should fully understand our policy and the terms and conditions
surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy
statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it.
INFORMATION
CreditSecretsRevealed.org
GATHERS AND TRACKS
CreditSecretsRevealed.org gathers two types of information about
users:
-
Information that users provide through optional, voluntary
submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our
electronic newsletters, to participate in our message boards or
forums, to email a friend, and from participation in polls and
surveys:
-
Information CreditSecretsRevealed.org gathers through aggregated
tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views
throughout our sites. This information allows us to better
tailor our content to readers' needs and to help our advertisers
and sponsors better understand the demographics of our audience.
Under no circumstances does CreditSecretsRevealed.org divulge
any information about an individual user to a third party.
CreditSecretsRevealed.org Gathers User Information In The Following
Processes:
Optional
Voluntary Information
We offer
the following free services, which require some type of voluntary
submission of personal information by users:
Privacy Policy Sample
1.
Electronic newsletters policy (Dispatches)
We will
offer a free electronic newsletter to users.
CreditSecretsRevealed.org gathers the email addresses of users who
voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing
list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points
users to the subscription management page. Users can also subscribe
to the newsletters at the time of registration.
2. Message
boards/forums policy
Users of
the site's Message Boards and Forums must register separately for
these services (both are free of charge) in order to post messages,
although they needn't register to visit the site. During
registration the user is required to supply a username, password,
and email address.
3. "E-mail
this to a friend" policy
Our site
users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or
documents to someone else by clicking "e-mail this to a friend". The
user must provide their email address, as well as that of the
recipient. This information is used only in the case of transmission
errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the email.
The information is not used for any other purpose.
4. Polling
We may
offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their
opinions with other users and see what our audience thinks about
important issues. Opinions or other responses to polls are
aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular user.
CreditSecretsRevealed.org may use a system to "tag" users after they
have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular question.
This tag is not correlated with information about individual users.
5. Surveys
CreditSecretsRevealed.org may occasionally conduct user surveys to
better target our content to our audience. We sometimes share the
aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our
sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of this
information about specific individuals with any third party.
Children
Consistent
with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998
(COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable
information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting
parental consent.
Usage
tracking
CreditSecretsRevealed.org tracks user traffic patterns throughout
all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this information with
data about individual users. CreditSecretsRevealed.org does break
down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name,
browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the
browser string (information contained in every user's browser).
CreditSecretsRevealed.org sometimes tracks and catalogs the search
terms that users enter in our Search function, but this tracking is
never associated with individual users. We use tracking information
to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like
based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual
users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This
helps us continue to build a better service for you.
Cookies
We may
place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your
computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information
although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to
information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But
the only personal information a cookie can contain is information
you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or
read cookie files created by other sites. CreditSecretsRevealed.org
uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above).
Our advertising system delivers a one-time cookie to better track ad
impressions and click rates.
You can
refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set
your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive
the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have
cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to
participate actively in message boards, forums, polling and surveys.
Privacy Policy Use
USE OF
INFORMATION
CreditSecretsRevealed.org uses any information voluntarily given by
our users to enhance their experience in our network of sites,
whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites
or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our
users.
As stated
above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to
send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate
in polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. We send out
newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on the
newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we
think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we
are doing. CreditSecretsRevealed.org never shares newsletter mailing
lists with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or
partners.
When we use
tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users
like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track
what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs
overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.
We track search terms entered in Search function as one of many
measures of what interests our users. But we don't track which terms
a particular user enters.
CreditSecretsRevealed.org creates aggregate reports on user
demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers, sponsors and
partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise more effectively,
and allows our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent to
their needs. Because we don't track the usage patterns of individual
users, an advertiser or sponsor will never know that a specific user
clicked their ad. We will not disclose any information about any
individual user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal
process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the
public.
SHARING OF
THE INFORMATION
CreditSecretsRevealed.org uses the above-described information to
tailor our content to suit your needs and help our advertisers
better understand our audience's demographics. This is essential to
keeping our service free. We will not share information about
individual users with any third party, except to comply with
applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal
safety of our users or the public.
SECURITY
CreditSecretsRevealed.org operates secure data networks protected by
industry standard firewall and password protection systems. Our
security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced
as necessary and only authorized individuals have access to the
information provided by our customers.
OPT-OUT
POLICY
We give
users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices
include:
-
Opting not
to register to receive our electronic newsletters.
-
Opting not
to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely
alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable
information from our users
YOUR
CONSENT
By using this
site, you consent to the collection and use of this information by
CreditSecretsRevealed.org. If we decide to change our privacy
policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are
always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and
under what circumstances we disclose it. |
