This Privacy Policy describes how we handle your personal information for our services on the ClassSearch website. It applies to the ClassSearch.com website and content. By accepting the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use in registration, you expressly consent to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is effective upon acceptance for new users and is otherwise effective on September 1, 2011. What We Collect and Store You can browse our sites without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. Once you give us your personal information, you are not anonymous to us. If you choose to provide us with personal information, you consent to the transfer and storage of that information on our servers. We may collect and store the following personal information: * email address, physical contact information, and (depending on the service used) sometimes other information about yourself such as education, certifications, etc.; * transactional information based on your activities on the site (such as prior listings and fees); * comments, discussions, dispute resolution, correspondence through our site, and correspondence sent to us; * other information from your interaction with our site, services, and content, including computer and connection information, statistics on page views, traffic to and from the sites, ad data, IP address and standard web log information; * additional information we ask you to submit to authenticate yourself or if we believe you are violating site policies; * information from other companies, such as demographic and navigation data; and * other supplemental information from third parties (for example, if you incur a debt to ClassSearch, we will generally conduct a credit check by obtaining additional information about you from a credit bureau, as permitted by law). Marketing We don't sell or rent your personal information to third parties. If this policy changes, no such information will be sold without your explicit consent. We may combine your information with information we collect from other companies and use it to improve and personalize our services, content and advertising. If you don't wish to receive marketing communications from us, follow the directions provided with the communication or advertisement. Use Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. You agree that we may use your personal information to: * make required or service related contact with you; * provide the services and customer support you request; * resolve disputes, collect fees, and troubleshoot problems; * prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities, and enforce our Terms of Use; * customize, measure and improve our services, content and advertising; * tell you about our services and those of our company family, targeted marketing, service updates, and promotional offers based on your communication preferences; and * compare information for accuracy, and verify it with third parties. Our Disclosure of Your Information We may disclose personal information to respond to legal requirements, enforce our policies, respond to claims that a listing or other content violates the rights of others, or protect anyone's rights, property, or safety. Such information will be disclosed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. We may also share your personal information with: * Members of our company - such as ExecutiveClassSearch.com - to provide joint content and services (like registration, transactions and customer support), to help detect and prevent potentially illegal acts and violations of our policies, and to guide decisions about their products, services and communications. Members of our company family will use this information to send you marketing communications only if you have requested their services. * Service providers under contract who help with our business operations (such as fraud investigations, bill collection, affiliate and rewards programs, etc.). * Other third parties to whom you explicitly ask us to send your information (or about whom you are otherwise explicitly notified and consent to when using a specific service). * Law enforcement or other governmental officials, in response to a verified request relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity. In such events, we will disclose known information relevant to the investigation, such as name, email address, User ID history, IP address, fraud complaints, and listing history. * Other business entities, should we plan to merge with or be acquired by that business entity. (Should such a combination occur, we will require that the new combined entity follow this privacy policy with respect to your personal information. If your personal information will be used contrary to this policy, you will receive prior notice.) Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect your privacy and our ability to keep the community free from bad actors, we will not otherwise disclose your personal information to law enforcement, other government officials, or other third parties without a subpoena, court order or substantially similar legal procedure, except when we believe in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss or to report suspected illegal activity. Cookies We may use "cookies" (small files placed on your hard drive) on certain of our pages to help analyze our web page flow; customize our services, content and advertising; measure promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety. A few important things you should know about cookies are that: * We may offer certain features that are available only through the use of cookies. * Most cookies are "session cookies," meaning that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of a session. * You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although doing so may interfere with your use of some of our sites or services. * You may encounter cookies from third parties on certain pages of the sites that we do not control. (For example, if you view a web page created by another user, there may be a cookie placed by that web page.) No Spam, Spyware or Spoofing We and our users do not tolerate spam. Make sure to set your ClassSearch communication preferences, where available, so we can communicate to you as you prefer. You are not licensed to add other ClassSearch users, even a user who has purchased an item from you, to your mailing list (email or physical mail) without their express consent. To report ClassSearch-related spam or spoof emails to ClassSearch, please forward the email to abuse@ClassSearch.com. You may not use our communication tools to send spam or otherwise send content that would violate our Terms of Use. We automatically scan and may manually filter messages to check for spam, viruses, phishing attacks and other malicious activity or illegal or prohibited content, but we do not permanently store messages sent through these tools. If you send an email to an email address that is not registered in our community, we do not permanently store that email or use that email address for any marketing purpose. We do not rent or sell these email addresses. Security Your information is stored on our servers located. We treat data as an asset that must be protected and use lots of tools (encryption, passwords, physical security, etc.) to protect your personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure. However, as you probably know, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse your personal information that they collect from the site. Therefore, although we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private. Third Parties Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy, this document addresses only the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. If you disclose your information to others, regardless of their use of our site or other sites on the Internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the information you disclose to them. ClassSearch does not control the privacy policies of third parties, and you are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties where applicable. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others. General We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the amended terms on this site. All amended terms automatically take effect 30 days after they are initially posted on the site. If your questions are not answered online, you may write to us at: ClassSearch, PO Box 1135, Silsbee, Texas 77656. |
