admvn Privacy Policy
(admvn.COM) EFFECTIVE DATE: The
most recent version of this Privacy Policy, as revised, is effective
as of March 5th, 2006.
This Privacy Policy applies to certain web
sites that are owned and/or operated by or on behalf of admvn.COM,
and/or other affiliated entities controlled by, or under common
control with, such parties (each such web site being individually
referred to herein as the "Web Site"). If you have
arrived at this Privacy Policy by "clicking" on an
authorized link from a Web Site, then this Privacy Policy applies
to such Web Site, and the individual entity that owns and/or
operates the particular Web Site from which you "clicked"
to. This Privacy Policy via an authorized link shall be referred
to herein as "Sponsor," "we" or "us."
Sponsor respects the privacy of its users, and this Privacy
Policy explains what information we collect on our Web Site
and how we use such information.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully,
as it acts as an official Terms of Use statement, which governs
your use of the Web Site. Your use of our Web Site indicates
to us that you have read and accepted our privacy practices,
as outlined in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.
Please note that this Privacy Policy only applies to Web
Sites owned and/or operated by or for Sponsor, and upon which
Sponsor has placed a "link" which, when "clicked",
transfers you to this Privacy Policy. It is not applicable to
the individual web sites owned, sponsored or operated by or
for any independent television or radio stations affiliated
with Sponsor. While on our Web Site, you may encounter links
to these or other web sites or online material. If you "click"
on a link to such a third party, the "click" takes
you off our Web Site and to a third party's web site, which
is beyond Sponsor's control. These other web sites may set their
own cookies, collect data, and/or have their own privacy policies.
This Privacy Policy only covers information collected at the
Web Site, and does not cover any information collected by any
other web site or offline by Sponsor (unless otherwise specifically
stated or disclosed by Sponsor), its corporate affiliates, broadcast
affiliates, licensees or any other company, and we encourage
you to review the privacy policy of any other web site you visit.
In addition, please note that this Privacy
Policy does not apply to any information you may disclose publicly
in any chat rooms, message boards, or similar web pages. You
should keep in mind that whenever you publicly disclose information
about yourself online - for example, via message boards or chat
rooms - that information could be collected and used by people
that you do not know. In addition, certain message boards and
similar user forums may display IP addresses (as defined below)
along with the message poster's name and message. Sponsor bears
no responsibility for any action or policies of any third parties
who collect any information users may disclose on the message
boards, chat areas or other user forums, if any, on the Web
Site.
Personally Identifiable Information:
Personally identifiable information is information that could
reasonably be used to identify you personally (such as your
name, address, birth date or e-mail address), which we refer
to in this Privacy Policy as "PII." Generally, you
may browse our Web Site without providing us with PII. However,
there may be times when we ask you to provide us with certain
PII, such as when you choose to register with our Web Site and/or
for newsletters or choose to participate in an online contest,
sweepstakes, survey or voting procedure. We may also ask you
to provide us with demographic information or information regarding
your interests, hobbies or similar information. Sponsor reserves
the right, at any time, to add features to our Web Site that
require you to register or otherwise provide PII, including
credit card information, or to require registration to access
our Web Site. You can choose not to provide certain information,
but then you may not be able to take advantage of or participate
in some of the Web Site's features. We may combine the information
we collect with information available from other sources, including
information received from promotional partners or other third
parties. We may provide you the opportunity to e-mail a friend
an article, electronic greeting card or other special feature
from our Web Site. The e-mail addresses you supply us for those
activities will be used to send the requested e-mail and will
not be used to send you or your friend any other e-mail communications.
The Web Site does not knowingly collect
PII from children under thirteen (13) years of age: This
is not a web site directed to children under the age of 13,
and Sponsor does not knowingly collect any information from
children under 13 years of age at the Web Site. If you are under
13 years of age, do not send any information about yourself
to Sponsor. If Sponsor discovers that a child under the age
of 13 has provided the Web Site with PII, Sponsor will delete
that child's PII from its system.
Anonymous Information: When you visit
the Web Site, our web servers automatically collect web site
usage information. Web site usage information is anonymous information
that describes how our visitors use and navigate our Web Site,
and it includes the number and frequency of visitors to each
web page and the length and depth of their stays. We collect
the anonymous information automatically sent to us by your web
browser, such as browser type, referrer data that identifies
the web page visited prior and subsequent to visiting our Web
Site, and IP address. We also may determine what technology
is available through your browser in order to serve you the
most appropriate version of a web page. For example, we may
determine that you have installed a version of Flash, and we
will then send you the appropriate Flash version of the web
page rather than an HTML page.
IP Addresses: An IP address is a number
that is assigned to your computer or network when you are on
the Internet. When visitors request pages from our Web Site,
our servers log the visitor's IP address. We may collect IP
addresses for a variety of internal purposes, such as system
administration, to report aggregate information to our business
partners or to audit the number of visits to different pages
on our Web Site. Please note that some services within our Web
Site, such as certain message boards, may display IP addresses
along with the message poster's name and message.
Cookies: Cookies are information files
that our Web Site may place on your computer to provide extended
functionality and to personalize your experience at our Web
Site. We may use cookies for a number of purposes. For example,
we may use cookies to track usage patterns on the Web Site and
we may use cookies when we conduct polls and sweepstakes to
limit multiple responses and registrations. Or, we may use cookies
to record registration and personalization information, enabling
you to save your user name and password. We do not store any
PII in cookies, but we may link the cookie to any information
we collect. You can, of course, disable cookies on your computer
by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in your
browser. However, it is possible that some parts of the Web
Site will not operate correctly if you disable cookies. You
should consult with your browser's provider/manufacturer if
you have any questions regarding disabling cookies.
Sponsor: Sponsor may use your PII to provide the information
or content you have requested, to contact you or to fulfill
prizes in connection with a contest or sweepstakes, to contact
you about Sponsor programs, products, features or services,
or for other purposes disclosed at the time of collection. We
may also use your PII to contact you regarding your use of our
Web Site or changes to our Privacy Policy, Terms of Use or other
policy or terms that affect you and your use of our Web Site.
If you e-mail someone else an article, electronic greeting card
or other special feature from our Web Site, we will use the
information you provide about someone else to send that person
the requested e-mail. Sponsor may use information collected
about our users to improve the content and navigation of our
Web Site, or for other internal purposes.
Third parties providing services on our behalf:
Sponsor may employ other companies and individuals to perform
functions on its behalf. Examples may include hosting the Web
Site, sending communications on our behalf, hosting message
boards or other user forums, analyzing data, providing marketing
assistance, creating, hosting and/or running contests/sweepstakes/games
and providing customer service. These third parties may have
access to our users' PII in order to provide these services
to us or on our behalf, but they are not permitted to use it
for other purposes.
Other Third Parties: Sponsor may disclose
anonymous, aggregated user statistics to third parties for a
variety of purposes. For example, we may disclose how many individuals
visited certain areas of our Web Site, or how many men or women
receive our newsletter. Sponsor does not rent, sell or otherwise
disclose your PII to third parties unless disclosed to you at
the time such information is collected or unless you otherwise
give consent, other than in the following limited circumstances:
- Legal action. Sponsor may disclose information
about its users, including PII, when legally required to do
so, at the request of governmental authorities conducting
an investigation, to verify or enforce compliance with the
policies governing our Web Site and applicable laws, or to
protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our Web Site.
Sponsor may also disclose user information whenever we believe
disclosure is necessary to limit our legal liability, to protect
or defend our rights or property or protect the safety, rights
or property of our users.
- Corporate change. Sponsor may sell, transfer
or otherwise disclose user information, including PII, to
a successor entity in connection with a corporate merger,
consolidation, the sale of substantially all assets, or other
fundamental corporate change respecting the Web Site.
Sponsor takes steps to secure the data you submit to us,
including limiting the number of people who have physical access
to our user data. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the
Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, Sponsor
cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you
transmit to Sponsor and you do so at your own risk. That said,
all financial transactions completed through the Web Site use
the most sophisticated e-commerce software and hardware admvn.COM
can provide, to ensure the utmost security for all users.
The Web Site is operated in the United States. If you are
located in the European Union or elsewhere outside of the United
States, please be aware that any information you provide to
us will be transferred to the United States. By using our Web
Site, participating in any of our services and/or providing
us with your information, you consent to this transfer.
By using the Web Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy
Policy. Sponsor reserves the right to modify, alter or otherwise
update this Privacy Policy at any time in its sole discretion.
We will post any changes here, so be sure to check back from
time to time. However, we will only use the PII you provide
to the Web Site in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy,
unless you give us your consent.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns about our Privacy
Policy, please contact us at the address provided on the Web
Site from which you "clicked" via an authorized link
to arrive at this Privacy Policy.
