Personal Information That Quitsmoking4good.com Collects and How It Is Used
Introduction. Quitsmoking4good.com collects information in different ways
from Visitors and Members who access the various parts of our Services and the
network of Web sites accessible through our Service. Define services
Registration: Members may be asked to provide
certain personal information when they sign up for our Products or Services
including name, address, telephone number, billing information (such as a
credit card number), and the type of personal computer being used to access the
Services. The personal information collected from Members during the
registration process is used to manage each Member's account (such as for
billing purposes). This information may be shared with third parties, as stated
herein, or in special circumstances.
However, in
instances where Quitsmoking4good.com and a partner jointly promote Services, we 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 purpose
of offering you other Products and Services.
In this
instance personal information may not be used by the partner for any other
purpose. We may also generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles from
personal information Members provide during registration (such as the total
number, but not the names, of Members). As explained in more detail below, we
may use this aggregated and non-identifying information to sell advertisements
that appear on the Services.
Also, with
purchases, we may supply our member's contact information, to our business
partners, who may then contact the member by telephone or mail after the member
purchase. Sales proceeds may be collected by that business partner. We
also may supply other companies with contact information for mail offers we
believe would be of interest to our members, with or without compensation from
those companies. At times we may send an advertisement for a third party
product, where we collect the sales proceeds, and forward the purchaser's
information to that third party.
Our Quitsmoking4good.com Partners and Sponsors: Some products
and services may be offered to Visitors and Members in conjunction with an
affiliate, independent contractor seller or non-affiliated partner. To provide
Visitors and Members some of these products and services, the partner may need
to collect and maintain personal information.
Online
Shopping: At some Web sites, you can purchase products and services or
register to receive materials, such as a newsletter, 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. Quitsmoking4good.com 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
services or products directly from Quitsmoking4good.com, we use the personal information you
provide to process that order. We do share this information with outside
parties that we do business with.
Online
Advertisements: Our website may display our online advertisements. In
those cases we share information about our Visitors and Members collected
through the registration process as well as through online surveys and
promotions with these advertisers.
Additionally,
in some instances, we use this information to deliver tailored advertisements
or joint ventures. For instance, an advertiser or joint venture partner tells us the audience they want to reach and provides us an
advertisement tailored to the audience. Based upon the information we have
collected, we may then display or send the advertisement to the intended
audience. Quitsmoking4good.com does share personal information about
its Visitors or Members with these advertisers or joint venture companies.
Responses to Email
Inquiries: When Visitors or Members send email inquiries to our website, the
return email address is used to answer the email inquiry we receive.
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 products and services we offer and how we provide them to
you.
We may take
the information we receive from individuals responding to our Customer Surveys
and combine (or aggregate) it with the responses of other customers we may
have, 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 Quitsmoking4good.com 's policy to use or share the personal
information about Visitors or Members in ways described herein without
additional notice or means to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated
uses.
Also, we may disclose personal information about Visitors or Members, 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: credit agencies, collection agencies, merchant database agencies, law enforcement, or to satisfy laws, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Child Online 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 Terms Of Service, or other user policies; to operate the Services properly; or to protect Quitsmoking4good.com and our Members.
