At the same time that AreaCodeHelp.com is committed to bringing you information tailored to your individual needs, we recognize the importance of protecting the
privacy of personally identifiable information collected about you, our customers and prospects. In adopting this customer privacy policy, our intent is to balance our legitimate business interests in collecting and using
information with your reasonable expectations of privacy.
AreaCodeHelp.com does not collect personally identifying information about individuals, except when specifically and knowingly provided by such individuals.
Web servers serving AreaCodeHelp.com automatically collect information about which pages each user visits and the domain name of visitors. This is used for internal review, to tailor information to individual visitors and for
traffic audits. We also provide this information (as well as information from third-party market researchers) about our users on an aggregated, anonymous basis to our advertisers. Any personally identifiable information provided by
subscribers online as part of an advertiser promotion online (i.e. online coupons) may be provided directly to advertisers.
AreaCodeHelp.com may place a "cookie" on the browser of a AreaCodeHelp.com user's
computer. The cookie itself does not contain any personally identifying information. A cookie can be used to tell when your computer has contacted a Web site; we use the information for editorial purposes and for other purposes
such as delivery of ads, so we can customize delivery of information without compromising privacy. For example, cookies are used to ensure that you don't see the same ad too many times in a single session.
If you choose to
provide us with personal information, as in an email or by filling out a form with your personal information and submitting it to us through our web site, we use that information to respond to your message and to help us locate for
you the information you have requested. We treat e-mails the same way that we regard letters mailed to AreaCodeHelp.com. We do not collect personal information for any purpose other than to respond to you. We only share the
information you give us with another government agency, company or individual if your inquiry relates to that entity, or as otherwise required by law. Moreover, we do not create individual profiles with the information you provide
or give it to any private organizations.
Except as stated in this privacy policy or at the time of collection, user's personally identifiable information, will not be transferred to a party outside AreaCodeHelp.com, its
divisions, its vendors providing Internet hosting services or third party managers unless stated at the time of collection.
We do not control the privacy policies of our business partners, advertisers, sponsors or other
sites to which we provide hyperlinks. AreaCodeHelp.com users should also be aware that, when you voluntarily disclose personal information in chat areas or bulletin boards, that information may be collected by others and may result
in unsolicited messages from others.
Kids: Be sure to ask your parents for permission before you send any information about yourself, such as like your name, address, or e-mail address, over the Internet, to us or to anyone
else and before making any purchases online.
Parents: We encourage you to get involved with your children's online usage and to be aware of the activities in which they are participating. Any personally identifiable
information collected by AreaCodeHelp.com that we are aware is from children will be used only for AreaCodeHelp.com internal purposes such as market research, sweepstakes fulfillment or for fulfilling requests for information or
materials, and may sometimes be included in our database. Such information will not be posted or published by us, or provided to any third parties, without your prior consent. Anonymous aggregated data is sometimes provided to
other parties with which we do business, for statistical and market research purposes as described above. Finally you should be aware that if your children voluntarily disclose information such as their names or e-mail addresses on
various forums or chat areas, such disclosures may result in unsolicited messages from other parties.
Web site Security: For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, this
computer system employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. Except for authorized law enforcement investigations, no other
attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits. Raw data logs are used for no other purposes. Unauthorized attempts to upload information or change information on this service are strictly prohibited and may
be punishable under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act.
Technology on the Internet is developing at a rapid pace, and we need to maintain our flexibility in
the online arena. If we need to change our policy in the future, we will post these changes as soon as they go into effect. |
