Privacy Policy |
 |
Your privacy is very important to PROSITESOLUTIONS. We want to make
your experience using our services as enjoyable and rewarding as
possible. We also want you to use the Internet's vast array of
information, tools, and opportunities with complete confidence.
We have created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm
commitment to privacy and security. This Privacy Policy describes
how PROSITESOLUTIONS collects information from all end users. This
includes those who access some of our services but do not have
accounts as well as paying customers. This Privacy Policy is a
complete explanation of what we do with the information we collect,
and the choices Visitors and Customers have concerning the
collection and use of such information. PROSITESOLUTIONS requests
that you read this entire Privacy Policy carefully.
 |
Introduction.
PROSITESOLUTIONS collects information in different ways from
Visitors and Customers who
access the various parts of our Services and the network of Web
sites accessible through our Services. We use
this information primarily to provide a customized experience as
you use our Services and, generally, do not
share this information with third parties. However, we may
disclose personal information collected if we have received your
permission beforehand or in very special circumstances, such as
when we believe that such disclosure is required by
law or other special cases described below.
|
 |
Registration. Customers are
asked to provide certain personal information when they sign up
for our
Services including name, address, telephone number, billing
information (such as a credit card number).
The personal information collected from Customers during the
registration process is used to manage each
Member's account (such as for billing purposes). This
information is not shared with third parties, unless
specifically stated otherwise or in special circumstances.
However, in instances where PROSITESOLUTIONS
and a partner jointly promote the Services, PROSITESOLUTIONS may
provide the partner certain personal information, such as the
name, address, and username of persons who subscribed to the
Services as a result
of the joint promotion for the sole purpose of allowing us and
the partner to assess the results of the promotion.
In this instance, personal information may not be used by the
partner for any other purpose.
PROSITESOLUTIONS may also generate non-identifying and aggregate
profiles from personal information Customers
provide during registration (such as the total number, but not
the names, of Customers). As
explained in more detail below, we may use this aggregated and
non-identifying information to sell
advertisements that appear on the Services.
|
 |
Domain Registration. Domain
name registration information legally has to be available to the
public. Since domain name registration
information is available to the public, anyone can access it
through "WHOIS"
searches. The WHOIS database is a publicly accessible database
that lists the domain name and contact
information of each registrant. The domain name registration you
provide is hosted by us to the public. At
times our customers may have been included within searches of
the WHOIS database. However, the SPAM
they receive does not in any way come from PROSITESOLUTIONS.
|
 |
PROSITESOLUTIONS Partners and
Sponsors. Some PROSITESOLUTIONS products and services are
offered to Visitors and Customers in conjunction with a
non-affiliated partner. To provide Visitors and
Customers some of these products and services, the partner may
need to collect and maintain personal
information. In these instances, we will provide such data
collected or transferred to our Partners and
Sponsors (e.g., domain registration). Additionally, many
PROSITESOLUTIONS Customers have co-branded
pages that are co-sponsored by non-affiliated partners.
PROSITESOLUTIONS will share non-identifying and
aggregate information (except as described above), but not
personal information, with such partners in order
to administer the co-branded products or services offered.
|
 |
Online Shopping. At some
Web sites, you can purchase products and services or register to
receive materials, such as a catalog or new product
and service updates. In many cases, you may be asked to provide
contact information, such as your name, address, email address,
phone number, and credit/debit card information.
If you complete an order for someone else, such as an online
gift order sent directly to a recipient, you may be asked to
provide information about the recipient, such as the recipient's
name, address, and phone number. PROSITESOLUTIONS has no control
over the third parties' use of any personal information you
provide when placing such an order.
Please exercise care when doing so. If you order products
directly from PROSITESOLUTIONS, we will use
the personal information you provide only to process that order.
We do not share this
information with outside parties except to the extent necessary
to complete that order.
|
 |
Online Advertisements.
PROSITESOLUTIONS displays our online advertisements. We share
aggregated
and non-identifying information about our Visitors and Customers
collected through the registration process
as well as through online surveys and promotions with these
advertisers. Additionally, in some instances, we
use this aggregated and non-identifying information to deliver
tailored advertisements. For instance, an
advertiser tells us the audience they want to reach (for
example, males between 25 and 55 years of age)
and provides us an advertisement tailored to the audience. Based
upon the aggregated and non-identifying information we have
collected, we may then display the advertisement to the intended
audience. PROSITESOLUTIONS does not share personal information
about its Visitors or Customers with these advertisers.
|
 |
Responses to Email Inquiries.
When Visitors or Customers send email inquiries to
PROSITESOLUTIONS,
the return email address is used to answer the email inquiry we
receive. PROSITESOLUTIONS does not use the return
email address for any other purpose and does not share the
return email address with any third party.
|
 |
Voluntary Customer Surveys.
We may periodically conduct both business and individual
customer surveys. We
encourage our customers to participate in these surveys because
they provide us with important information that
helps us to improve the types of services we offer and how we
provide them to you. Your personal
information and responses will remain strictly confidential,
even if the survey is conducted by a third party. Participation
in our customer surveys is voluntary. We take the information we
receive from individuals
responding to our Customer Surveys and combine (or aggregate) it
with the responses of other PROSITESOLUTIONS
customers to create broader, generic responses to the survey
questions (such as gender, age, residence,
hobbies, education, employment, industry sector, or other
demographic information). We then
use the aggregated information to improve the quality of our
services to you, and to develop new services and products. This
aggregated, non-personally identifying information may be shared
with third parties.
|
 |
Special Cases. It is
PROSITESOLUTIONS' policy not to use or share the personal
information about Visitors of Customers in ways unrelated to the
ones described above without also providing you an opportunity
to opt out or
otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. However,
PROSITESOLUTIONS may disclose personal information
about Visitors or Customers, or information regarding your use
of the Services or Web sites accessible through
our Services, for any reason if, in our sole discretion, we
believe that it is reasonable to do so, including: to
satisfy laws, such as the Electronic
Communications Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental or
legal requests for
such information; to disclose information that is necessary to
identify, contact, or bring legal action
against someone who may be violating our Acceptable Use Policy
or other user policies; to operate the Services properly; or to
protect PROSITESOLUTIONS and our Customers.

"Cookies" and How
PROSITESOLUTIONS Uses Them. A "cookie" is a small data file
that can be placed
on your hard drive when you visit certain Web sites.
PROSITESOLUTIONS may use cookies to collect, store,
and sometimes track information for statistical purposes to
improve the products and services we provide
and to manage our telecommunications networks. If you are a
Member and have created your own Personal
Start Page, we will use a cookie to save your settings and to
provide customizable and personalized services.
These cookies do not enable third parties to access any of your
customer information. Additionally, be aware
that if you visit non-PROSITESOLUTIONS Web sites where you are
prompted to log in or that are customizable,
you may be required to accept cookies. Advertisers and partners
may also use their own cookies. We do not
control use of these cookies and expressly disclaim
responsibility for information collected through them.
|
 |
Statistics. We use
information gathered about you from our site statistics (for
example your IP address) to
help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our
Web site. We also gather broad demographic information from this
data to help us improve our site and make your browsing and
purchasing experience
more enjoyable. This is not linked to any personally
identifiable information, except as necessary to prevent
fraud or abuse on our system.
|
 |
PROSITESOLUTIONS' Commitment to
Children's Privacy. Protecting children's privacy is
especially important to us.
It is our policy to comply with the Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act of 1998 and all
other applicable laws. While we make every effort to ensure that
these Web sites are fun and age-appropriate
for our younger audience, we believe that there is no substitute
for proper parental supervision.
PROSITESOLUTIONS recommends that children ask a parent for
permission before sending personal
information to PROSITESOLUTIONS, or to anyone else online.
|
 |
Public Forums. Please
remember that any information you may disclose in our Member
Directory, or other public
areas of our Web sites or the Internet, becomes public
information. You should exercise caution when
deciding to disclose personal information in these public areas.
|
 |
PROSITESOLUTIONS' Commitment to
Data Security. Services and Web sites we sponsor have
security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and
alteration of the information under our control. While we
make every effort to ensure the integrity and security of our
network and systems, we cannot guarantee that
our security measures will prevent third-party "hackers" from
illegally obtaining this information.
|
 |
How to Access or Modify Your
Information. PROSITESOLUTIONS offers Customers the
opportunity to access
or modify information provided during registration. To access or
modify such information contact our Customer Service Department
at billing@prositesolutions.com.

Where to Direct Questions About
PROSITESOLUTIONS' Privacy Policy. If you have any questions
about this Privacy Policy or the practices described herein, you
may contact: Customer Service, PROSITESOLUTIONS, P.O. Box 11772,
Jacksonville, FL 32239 or support@prositesolutions.com.
|
 |
Exceptions. As stated
previously in this policy, we will never give out your
information without your
permission. The only exceptions to this are, when we are
required by law, in the good-faith belief that such
action is necessary in order to conform to the law, or we must
comply with a legal process served on our
web site. We may also need to give out your information if one
of our partners requires it, but these situations
are rare and we will always ask for your explicit permission
first.
|
 |
Revisions to This Policy.
PROSITESOLUTIONS reserves the right to revise, amend, or modify
this policy
and our other policies and agreements at any time and in any
manner. Notice of any revision, amendment,
or modification will be posted immediately.
