COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY
This site is owned and operated by
ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM. Your privacy on the Internet is
of the utmost importance to us. At
ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM, we want to make your experience
online satisfying and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about
our users, we feel you should fully understand the
terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use
of that information. This privacy statement
discloses what information we gather and how we use
it.
Definition of the Information ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM
gathers and keeps track of.
ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM 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 ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM 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 and to help our advertisers and
sponsors better understand the demographics of our
audience. Because ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM derives its
revenue mainly from sponsorships and advertising,
providing such aggregated demographic data is
essential to keeping our service free to users.
Under no circumstances does ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM
divulge any information about an individual user
to a third party.
ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM Gathers User Information In The
Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which
require some type of voluntary submission of
personal information by users:
-
Electronic newsletters (Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic newsletter to
users. ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM 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.
-
Message boards/forums
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.
-
"E-mail this to a friend" Service
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.
-
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. ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM 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.
-
Surveys
ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM may occasionally conduct
user surveys to better target our content to our
audience. We sometimes share the aggregated
demographic information in these surveys with our
sponsors, advertisers and partners. 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
ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM tracks user traffic patterns
throughout all of our sites. However, we do not
correlate this information with data about
individual users. ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM 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).
ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM 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.
COOKIES
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in
the browser files of your computer. The cookie
itself does not contain Personal Information
although it will enable us to relate your use of
this site to information that you have specifically
and knowingly provided. But the only personal
information a cookie can contain is information you
supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your
hard disk or read cookie files created by other
sites. ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM uses cookies to track
user traffic patterns (as described above). Our
advertising system delivers a one-time cookie to
better track ad impressions and click rates.
You
can refuse cookies by turning them off in your
browser. If you've set your browser to warn you
before accepting cookies, you will receive the
warning message with each cookie. You do not need to
have cookies turned on to use this site. However,
you do need cookies to participate actively in
message boards, forums, polling and surveys.
USE OF INFORMATION
ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM 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. ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM never shares newsletter
mailing lists with any third parties, including
advertisers, sponsors or partners.
When
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. We track search terms
entered in Search function as one of many measures
of what interests our users. But we don't track
which terms a particular user enters.
ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM creates aggregate reports on
user demographics and traffic patterns for
advertisers, sponsors and partners. This allows our
advertisers to advertise more effectively, and
allows our users to receive advertisements that are
pertinent to their needs. Because we don't track the
usage patterns of individual users, an advertiser or
sponsor will never know that a specific user clicked
their ad. We will not disclose any information about
any individual user except to comply with applicable
law or valid legal process or to protect the
personal safety of our users or the public.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM uses the above-described
information to tailor our content to suit your needs
and help our advertisers better understand our
audience's demographics. This is essential to
keeping our service free. We will not share
information about individual users with any third
party, except to comply with applicable law or valid
legal process or to protect the personal safety of
our users or the public.
SECURITY
ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM operates secure data
networks protected by industry standard firewall and
password protection systems. Our security and
privacy policies are periodically reviewed and
enhanced as necessary and only authorized
individuals have access to the information provided
by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and
practical. Such choices include:
-
Opting not to register to receive our electronic
newsletters.
-
Opting not to participate in certain interactive
areas, which completely alleviates the need to
gather any personally identifiable information
from our users
YOUR CONSENT
By using this site, you consent to the
collection and use of this information by
ebasedEMAIL/ebasedEVOLUTION.COM. If we decide to
change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes on this page so that you are always aware of
what information we collect, how we use it, and
under what circumstances we disclose it.
Please report any abuse to
