The Links Doctor - Privacy Policy By TheLinksDoctor.com Team – April 14, 2003 Thelinksdoctor.com's policy is to respect and protect the privacy of our users. We want our Internet users to be comfortable using our site. This policy statement tells you how we collect information from you and how we use it. The following policy only applies to online activities on Thelinksdoctor.com's Website, not to offline activities. REGISTRATION You may use most portions of this site without providing any personal information. However, in order to use many of the interactive features of this site, such as the The Links Doctor game analysis, lessons and reviews, you must be a registered user. Registration may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, mailing address and birth date. Thelinksdoctor.com needs to collect this information for fulfilling prizes, tracking/verifying compliance with Thelinksdoctor.com policies and federal, state and local laws and/or for editorial and feedback solicitation purposes. USE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION Thelinksdoctor.com will not disclose your personal information to third parties without your consent. However, certain personal information required to enter a sweepstakes or contest may be shared with Thelinksdoctor.com's partners. Please review the rules of the sweepstakes or contest carefully before disclosing any personal information. Also, Thelinksdoctor.com may disclose user information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Thelinksdoctor.com's rights or property, other Thelinksdoctor.com users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. Thelinksdoctor.com may disclose user information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it. Thelinksdoctor.com shares aggregate information (data that does not contain personally identifiable information) about our users with advertisers, business partners, sponsors and other third parties. For example, we will say Thelinksdoctor.com's audience is x percent females and y percent males. This data is used to customize Thelinksdoctor.com content and advertising to deliver a better experience for our users. REVISING YOUR PROFILE In case you change your mind about your opt out decision or if some of your personal information changes (such as your zip code), we will provide a way to correct, update or remove the personal data you give us. You can do this at the member information page or by contacting our Customer Support organization at support@thelinksdoctor.com . POLICIES FOR YOUTHS (INDIVIDUALS UNDER THE AGE OF 18)  Person under the age of 18 are required to provide the e-mail address of a parent or guardian and a notification message is sent to the parent or guardian of all guests who are under 18 years of age which identifies the information supplied at registration and allows the parent or guardian to be aware of the guest member's online experience. USE OF IP ADDRESSES An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. Thelinksdoctor.com collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregate information to our advertisers, and to audit the use of our site. When guests request pages from Thelinksdoctor.com site, our servers log the guests' IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a user's session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our house rules or terms of service or to protect our service, site, customers or others. USE OF COOKIES Cookies are pieces of data that a website transfers to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make Web-surfing easier for you by saving your preferences while you're at our site. We never save passwords or credit card information in cookies. The use of cookies is an industry standard. By showing how and when guests use a site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the information from cookies to provide services better tailored to our users needs. Thelinksdoctor.com primarily uses cookies to track user trends and patterns. This helps us better understand and improve areas of the Thelinksdoctor.com service that our users find valuable. While this activity depends on the use of a "cookie," visitors to Thelinksdoctor.com always have the option of disabling cookies via their browser preferences. Information from cookies is sometimes attached to messages sent to our Customer Service department. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of the Thelinksdoctor.com service will not function properly if you refuse cookies. For example, without cookies, you will not be able to set personalized preferences or you may have difficulty completing shopping transactions, entering contests, or playing games. You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers if you "click" on an advertisement that takes you from Thelinksdoctor.com to the advertiser's website. Thelinksdoctor.com does not control these cookies. The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is standard in the Internet industry. LINKS TO OTHER SITES Users should be aware that when you are on Thelinksdoctor.com, you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other sites from Thelinksdoctor.com pages that take you outside our service. For example, if you "click" on a banner advertisement or a Thelinksdoctor.com search result, the "click" takes you off the Thelinksdoctor.com site. This includes links from advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use Thelinksdoctor.com logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data or solicit personal information. Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information online --- for example, via message boards or chat --- that information can be collected and used by people you don't know. While Thelinksdoctor.com strives to protect its user's personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online and you do so at your own risk. Thelinksdoctor.com's policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, and therefore beyond Thelinksdoctor.com's control, and is not to be applied in any manner contrary to applicable law or governmental regulation. SECURITY The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our guests is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your PC to our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Thelinksdoctor.com can't ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. When credit card information is transmitted we use industry standard, SSL (secure socket layer) encryption. Your Thelinksdoctor.com account is password protected so that only you can access it and view the member information relevant to the account. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Thelinksdoctor.com will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or email. Ultimately, you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and any account information. Remember to sign out of your Thelinksdoctor.com account and close your browser window when you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if your computer is accessible to others or if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or internet café. YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS By using this site, you signify your assent to the Thelinksdoctor.com Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use our sites. Your continued use of the Thelinksdoctor.com sites following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
