PRIVACY POLICY - COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY

This site is owned and operated by Affiliate Collection Agency. Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At Affiliate Collection Agency, we want to make your experience online satisfying and safe.

INFORMATION AFFILIATE COLLECTION AGENCY GATHERS AND TRACKS

Affiliate Collection Agency gathers two types of information about users:

Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters, to participate in our message boards or forums, to email a friend, and from participation in polls and surveys:

Information Affiliate Collection Agency gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content to readers' needs. Under no circumstances does Affiliate Collection Agency divulge any information about an individual user to a third party.

AFFILIATE COLLECTION AGENCY GATHERS USER INFORMATION IN THE FOLLOWING PROCESSES:

OPTIONAL VOLUNTARY INFORMATION.

1. Electronic newsletters policy (Dispatches)

We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. Affiliate Collection Agency gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points users to the subscription management page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters at the time of registration.

2. Message boards/forums policy

Users of the site's Message Boards and Forums must register separately for these services (both are free of charge) in order to post messages, although they needn't register to visit the site. During registration the user is required to supply a username, password, and email address.

3. "E-mail this to a friend" policy

Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or documents to someone else by clicking "e-mail this to a friend". The user must provide their email address, as well as that of the recipient. This information is used only in the case of transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the email. The information is not used for any other purpose.

4. Polling

We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions with other users and see what our audience thinks about important issues. Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular user. Affiliate Collection Agency may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated with information about individual users.

5. Surveys

Affiliate Collection Agency may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content to our audience. We never share any of this information about specific individuals with any third party.

CHILDREN

Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.

USAGE TRACKING

Affiliate Collection Agency tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. Affiliate Collection Agency does break down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user's browser).

Affiliate Collection Agency sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that users enter in our Search function, but this tracking is never associated with individual users. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.

USE OF INFORMATION

Affiliate Collection Agency uses any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.

As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing. Affilate Collection Agency never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
