Your privacy is very
important to us. We have created this
Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment
to privacy and security. This Privacy Policy
describes how *yourdomain.com* collects
information from all end users of our Internet
services (the "Services"), those who
access some of our Services but do not have
accounts ("Visitors") as well as those
who may purchase Products and/or pay a monthly
service fee to subscribe to the Service
("Members"), what we do with the
information we collect, and the choices Visitors
and Members have concerning the collection and use
of such information.
Personal Information *yourdomain.com* Collects and How It Is Used
Introduction
keywordswipe
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. We use this
information primarily to provide a customized
experience as you use our Products and 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
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 is not shared
with third parties, unless specifically stated
otherwise or in special circumstances.
However, in
instances where *yourdomain.com* and a
partner jointly promote our 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 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. 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.
Keywordswipe
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. In
these instances, you will be notified before any
such data is collected or transferred and may
decide not to use that particular service or
feature.
Additionally, our partners may have advertisements
or co-branded Web Pages that are cosponsored by an
affiliate, independent contractor seller, or
non-affiliated partner. Keywordswipe may 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
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. Instantblognandping 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 keywordswipe
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
Keywordswipe
may display our online advertisements. In those
cases we share aggregated and non-identifying
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
aggregated and non-identifying information to
deliver tailored advertisements or joint ventures.
For instance, an advertiser or joint venture
company tells us the audience they want to reach
and provides us an advertisement tailored to the
audience. Based upon the aggregated and
non-identifying information we have collected, we
may then display or send the advertisement to the
intended audience. *yourdomain.com* does
not 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 Keywordswipe, the return email address
is used to answer the email inquiry we receive. Keywordswipe
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 products and 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 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 Keywordswipe
policy not to use or
share the personal information about Visitors of
Members in ways unrelated to the ones described
above without also providing you an opportunity to
opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
However, 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 keywordswipe and our Members.
