FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
Our
Privacy Policy is based upon the following three fundamental principles.
1.We
will not use information about you without your permission.
2.We
will provide the means for you to manage and control the information
that you have provided to us.
3.We
will provide mechanisms for you to communicate your privacy concerns
to us and that we will respond to them thoroughly and thoughtfully.
We
thank you for your participation in the services and products provided
on our Web site.
REGISTRATION
You
can visit our Web site and use most of the services without telling
us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself.
Some of our services, however, do require some form of customer registration.
During the registration process we require you to complete certain
fields, request that you complete other fields and ask you to select
a username and password.
With
your permission we may share the information that you provide to us
with selected third parties, primarily our advertisers and sponsors.
You may opt-out of such sharing of information at the time of registration.
If you opt to receive email communications from us, we may also send
you news about our Web site and our services, as well as relevant
offers made by our advertisers and sponsors. You will only receive
those communications if you opt-in at the time of registration.
During
your use of our site and our services, we may collect additional demographic
and profile data. We may use this data to personalize your experience
at our site, show you content that we believe may be of interest to
you, and displaying the certain content according to your preferences.
We may share this information with selected advertisers and sponsors.
If you do not wish demographic or profile information to be shared,
then you may opt-out at the time of registration.
From
time to time we may offer contests on our site in which we ask participants
for contact information, e.g., their email addresses. If you participate
in contests, your contact information will be used primarily to reach
you in connection with the contests. We may also use the collected
contact information to send you information about our Web site, our
services and selected sponsors. You may opt-out of receiving such
mailings at the time of registration for the contest.
COOKIES AND HOW WE USE THEM
A
cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from
a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. We use cookies
to help us provide customizable services and to allow you to sign-in
to our site. For example, we may store your zip code in a cookie and
this would enable us to show you your local weather when you visit
our site.
You
can choose whether to accept the cookies that we send to you by changing
the settings of your browser. If you choose not to accept these cookies,
your experience at our site may be inferior and some features will
not work as intended.
We
may, from time to time, use an outside company to serve advertising
on our site. In this event the outside advertising company uses cookies
to ensure that you do not see the same advertisements too often. Cookies
that are received with advertisements are read and placed by our advertising
company and we do not have access to them.
THIRD-PARTY
RELATIONSHIPS
You
will find direct links on our Web site to sites offered by third parties.
We carefully evaluate all parties that are authorized to use our brand
and logo and believe that all such sites have adopted acceptable privacy
policies. However, no third-party sites are covered by this Privacy
Policy. If you feel that a site using our brand and/or logo does not
follow an acceptable privacy policy, please send us an email at info@B2BDW.com.
We will forward your comments to the appropriate third parties and
may, in particular circumstances, decide to advocate on your behalf
to attempt to cause the third parties to change their privacy policies.
We
also provide certain user information to third parties in aggregate
form in order to facilitate the sale of advertising and the sponsorship
of services on our Web site.
SECURITY
We
have security measures in place to attempt to protect against the
loss, misuse and alteration of customer data under our control. For
example, we impose strict rules on our employees who have access either
to the databases that store user information or to the servers that
host our services. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or
alteration to data will not occur, we make efforts to prevent such
unfortunate occurrences.
