Publish2, Inc. (the “Company”) respects your personal privacy and is
committed to adhering to federal and state privacy laws and industry guidelines
in order to protect you and your identity. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”)
describes how we handle the personal information that you provide to us on this
site (the “Web Site”). This Privacy Policy applies only to the Web Site, not to
any other Company, affiliate or third party sites that may be accessible from here.
After reading this Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into and is a part of
the Web Site’s Terms of Use, you will know:
Please be sure to read this Privacy Policy before using the Web Site or submitting
information to us. Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time and your
continued use of the Web Site is acceptance of such changes, so please check this
area periodically for updates to this Privacy Policy.
Active Information Collection
Like many other Web sites, we actively collect information from our visitors
both by asking specific questions on the Web Site and by permitting you to
communicate directly with us via email. Some of the information that you submit
during the registration process or while making a purchase may be personally
identifiable (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you,
such as your name, business name, address, phone number, fax number, e-mail
address, etc.).
When you visit the Web Site, we will not collect any personally identifiable
information about you unless you provide it to us voluntarily. However, to
access certain portions of the Web Site, you may be required to provide such
information. If you choose to register with the Web Site, during the registration
process you will be asked for both personal and demographic information, most of
which is required in order to complete the registration. We will inform you which
information is optional. If you opt not to register with the Web Site, you still
can visit the Web Site but you will not be able to access certain portions.
The Company does not have control over the privacy policies applied by any
other party that you may disclose information to. Third party sites that are
linked to from the Web Site are not under the control of the Company and we
are not responsible for their content or privacy policies. The provision of
links to such third party sites on the Web Site does not constitute an endorsement
by the Company of the content on the third party sites. Further, you must abide
by the terms of use and are subject to the privacy policies of these third party
sites. If you would like information on any other party’s privacy policy,
you should contact that party directly, and we encourage you to do so.
Passive Information Collection
As you navigate through a web site, certain information can be passively
collected (that is, gathered without you actively providing the information)
using various technologies and means, such as navigational data collection.
Like most web site operators, we track IP addresses, use both session and
persistent cookies, and assign Internet tags. Our system also automatically
gathers information about the areas you visit on this site and collects operational
information about the technology you use, such as your browser, type of computer,
operating systems, Internet service providers and the domain name of the Web Site
from which you linked to our site.
In addition, when you view the Web Site, we may store some information on your
computer. This information will be in the form of a cookie or similar file and
will help us in many ways. For example, cookies allow us to tailor a web site
or advertisement to better match your interests and preferences. Most Internet
browsers enable you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all
cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please refer to your
browser instructions or help screen to learn more about these functions.
The Company does not collect personally identifiable information automatically,
but we may tie information collected automatically to your previously submitted
personally identifiable information.
We passively collect information to understand what areas of the Web Site are
most popular, which areas may require improvement and what technologies are
being used by our visitors. This information helps us to update and improve
the Web Site. We also use this information for security purposes, to detect
and to block security breaches and to provide you with a safe online environment.
The Company uses your personal information to enhance the operation of the
Web Site and allow you to use all of its features.
Your contact information (including, without limitation, shipping and e-mail
addresses, phone numbers, etc.) will be used for the purposes for which you
supplied it to us (e.g., registering with the Web Site, posting content, etc.),
to send you related notices or promotional materials and to respond to your
comments or requests for information. As further described in our
Terms of Use, we may
also post your name and credentials in connection with links and content you
provide. If you direct comments to us or you request information from us,
we may ask you to verify where you are doing business so that we can be assured
that the response or information we provide is appropriate for that geographic
location. We may also enhance or merge personally identifiable information
with data obtained from third parties for the same purposes.
If we enable transactions on the Web Site, we may collect and use financial
and billing information from you for purposes of processing such transactions.
The Company will not give or sell your personally identifiable information to
any outside organization for the organization’s own use without your consent.
The Company may disclose your personal information to the reputable vendors
that assist us in processing information. These vendors are restricted from
using the information for any purpose other than helping us to provide products
and services.
The Company does not otherwise distribute to third parties your personally
identifiable information. The Company, however, will have no liability for
disclosure of information obtained due to errors in transmission or the
unauthorized intervention of third parties.
The Company may provide aggregate statistics about customers, sales, online
traffic patterns and related information to reputable third parties, but
these statistics will not include any personally identifiable information.
The Company also will disclose any information that it is required to
disclose by law or by an appropriate government authority.
Although the Company does not currently rent, sell, or otherwise share your
information with third parties for purposes unrelated to this site, it may do
so in the future. If you do not want your information to be shared, you
should contact us at privacy {at} publish2 {dot} com as described in Section 3.
If a third party acquires the assets of the Company related to the Web Site
and its products and services (whether by sale, merger, change of control,
bankruptcy or otherwise), your personally identifiable information may be
transferred to the new owner(s). In such case, your information would
remain subject to the provisions of the current privacy policy that was
in effect immediately prior to the transfer.
Some of our advertisers may display ads on the Web Site that solicit, or
contain technology to collect, information about our users. This
information is collected and used by our advertisers, and is outside of our
control. If you have any questions about a banner advertisement, you should
contact the responsible advertiser directly.
We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you
provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following
control over your information:
We work hard to protect your personal information. We use both technical and
procedural methods to maintain the integrity and security of our databases,
including the use of firewalls.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. If you have
access to password-protected features, never share your password with anyone
else, notify us promptly if you believe your password security has been breached,
and remember to log off of this site before you leave your computer. When you
provide information and content to be posted on the Web Site and through its
licensees, you do so at your own risk. The information you share may be viewed
by any user of these sites.
This site contains links to other web sites operated by third parties that may be
of interest to you. We cannot control these third party sites, which may
collect personal information from you. When you follow a link and leave
this site, you do so at your own risk.
The Web Site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We will not knowingly
collect information from site visitors in this age group. We encourage parents
to talk to their children about their use of the Internet and the information
they disclose online. If a child has provided us with personally identifiable
information, a parent or guardian of that child may contact us via e-mail
privacy {at} publish2 {dot} com if they would like this information deleted from our records.
We will use reasonable efforts to delete the child’s information from our databases.
If you have submitted personally identifiable information through the Web Site
or an interactive advertisement, or if someone else has submitted your personally
identifiable information through the Web Site or an interactive advertisement,
and you would like to have that information deleted from our marketing databases,
please contact us via e-mail at privacy {at} publish2 {dot} com. We will then use reasonable
efforts to remove your personally identifiable information from our files.
