Acceptx
Overall privacy statement
We take your privacy seriously. Because we gather certain types of information
about our users, we want to help you understand the terms and conditions
surrounding the collection and use of that information. This privacy statement
discloses the types of information we gather, how we use it, and how to correct
or change it. These privacy practices apply to the Web site that you were
viewing when you clicked through to this policy, which is operated directly by
us, by our partner, or by our affiliate.
1. What information does Acceptx LLC collect?
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with the
best and most useful content and services. Several of the services and features
that we offer on our sites require you to provide us with information as a
condition of usage.
We collect personally identifiable information, such as your name, email
address, postal address, phone number and credit card information when you
provide it to us. From time to time, we may also collect other sensitive
information such as your job title, gender, username and password. We may also
receive information about you from other sources and add it to the information
you provided to us.
Once you register with one of our Acceptx sites you are no longer anonymous to
us.
2. What is Acceptx LLC’s practice regarding cookies?
Your Internet browser has a feature called cookies, which stores small amounts
of data on your computer about your visit to any of our sites. You do not need
to have cookies turned on to visit most of our sites, although active
participation in certain areas of our sites may require cookies. Cookies alone
tell us nothing about who you are unless you specifically give us personally
identifiable information, in which case we use the information to enhance your
services in the ways described below. By adjusting your settings on your
browser, you may elect not to allow cookies to be collected.
We also use technologies, including electronic images known as Web bugs—sometimes
called transparent GIFs, clear GIFs, or beacons—that allow us
to track general user-traffic patterns. We also automatically receive and
record information from our servers and from your browser, including your IP
address, the time of your visit to pages on our site, and information about
pages you visited. Unless you have registered for one of our products or
services, the information we gather through the use of tracking technologies
cannot be matched with any personally identifiable information about you.
We use cookies and tracking technologies in a variety of ways, including:
-
Keeping count of return visits to our site or our partners' sites;
-
Accumulating and reporting anonymous, aggregate (data collected in mass),
statistical information on Web-site usage;
-
Determining which features our overall user population likes best;
3. How does Acceptx LLC use the information?
We use the information we gather for four general purposes:
-
To enhance the user experience in our network of sites. We use tracking
information to determine how well each page performs overall based on aggregate
user demographics and traffic patterns to those pages. This helps us continue
to build a better service for you;
-
To fulfill your requests for certain products and services.
-
To send you information you agreed to receive about topics we think will be of
interest to you.
4. How does Acceptx LLC share the information?
Personally identifiable information
We will make your personally identifiable information available to other
companies or people when:
-
You have elected to allow us to share that information at the time that you
registered with us or provided us the information, or through a subsequent
affirmative election through our website.
-
When required by law, such as when we respond to subpoenas, court orders, or
legal process.
-
We believe that your actions violate applicable laws, Acceptx LLC’s Terms of
Usage guidelines for specific products or services, or threaten the rights,
property, or safety of our company, our users, or others.
Aggregate information
We aggregate personally identifiable information and disclose such information
in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties
for marketing, promotional, and other purposes. We do not disclose to these
entities any information that could be used to identify you personally.
Business transfers
We are always seeking to improve our network of Web sites and our business. In
accomplishing these objectives, we may buy or sell a company, or one or more of
the companies in our corporate family may merge with or be acquired by another
company. If we sell a business, we may transfer some or all of your information
as a part of the sale in order that the service being provided to you may
continue or for other business purposes.
5. How can I review and update my personally identifiable information?
You can review, correct, or change the information collected during
registration for any of our sites. The instructions for doing this can be found
in our member-services areas. Users may change information at any time and as
often as necessary.
6. How will I know if the privacy policy is changed?
Any modifications to our privacy practices will be reflected first within this
area of our network of Web sites. If there is a material change in our privacy
practices, we will indicate on our sites that our privacy practices have
changed and provide a link to the new privacy statement. If we are going to be
using the information collected from users in a manner materially different
from that stated at the time of collection, we will send affected users written
notice of the change by e-mail.
7. Privacy of children
None of the sites within our network is directed to children under the age of
13. We operate our network of sites in compliance with the Children's Online
Privacy Protection Act and do not permit registration by, and will not
knowingly collect or use personally identifiable information from, anyone under
13 years of age. This requirement is clearly posted during the registration
process.
