PRIVACY
POLICY
Last Updated: September 12, 2005
WhatWorksForCouples.com strives to offer its
visitors the many advantages of
Internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalized
experience.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail
address,
street address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy
policy.
We will never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any
unauthorized
third party. Period."
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on
the page you are visiting,
the activities in which you elect to participate and the services
provided. For
example, you may be asked to provide information when you register for
access
to certain portions of our site or request certain features, such as
newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide information
when you
participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms,
and
other interactive areas of our site. Like most Web sites,
WhatWorksForCouples.com
also collects information automatically and through the use of
electronic tools
that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the
name of
your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize
you and
hold information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may
store your
user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that
information
each time you visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a
particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt
additional
technology, we may also gather information through other means. In
certain
cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example
by
setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may
be unable
to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your
user
name and password, and we may not be able to customize the site’s
features
according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information
to enhance your visit and
deliver more individualized content and advertising. We respect your
privacy
and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not
personally identify you)
may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information about
your
usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to
help
enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited
most or
what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may
occasionally be
shared with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this
information does
not include any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow
anyone
to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information
collected on
WhatWorksForCouples.com to communicate with you about your registration
and
customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy;
services
and products offered by WhatWorksForCouples.com and other topics we
think you
might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by
WhatWorksForCouples.com may
also be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site
administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions,
administration
of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications with you. Certain
third
parties who provide technical support for the operation of our site
(our Web
hosting service for example) may access such information. We will use
your
information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as
we
continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner
with other
companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information may be
among
the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in
response to a
court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required
to do so
by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us,
and/or
to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or
necessary.
Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in
such
cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and
advertisements
WhatWorksForCouples.com expects its partners,
advertisers and affiliates to
respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third
parties,
including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content
providers
accessible through our site, may have their own privacy and data
collection
policies and practices. For example, during your visit to our site you
may link
to, or view as part of a frame on a WhatWorksForCouples.com page,
certain
content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also,
through
WhatWorksForCouples.com you may be introduced to, or be able to access,
information, Web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by
other
parties. WhatWorksForCouples.com is not responsible for the actions or
policies
of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies
of
those third parties when providing information on a feature or page
operated by
a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional
partners or other third
parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some
of your
preferences or retrieve information about you. For example, some of our
advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies that
enable the
advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular
advertisement
before. Other features available on our site may offer services
operated by third
parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather information.
WhatWorksForCouples.com does not control the use of this technology by
third
parties or the resulting information, and is not responsible for any
actions or
policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily
disclose Personally
Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas, that
information
can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by third parties
without
our knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from other
individuals or
third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of
WhatWorksForCouples.com and this policy.

WhatWorksForCouples.com does not knowingly collect
or solicit Personally
Identifiable Information from or about children under 13 except as
permitted by
law. If we discover we have received any information from a child under
13 in
violation of this policy, we will delete that information immediately.
