Your privacy is very important to us. We want to
make your experience on the Internet as enjoyable and rewarding as possible.
We have created this Privacy Policy to
demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy and security. This Privacy Policy
describes how our company collects information from all end users of our
Internet services (the "Services")-those who access some of our Services but do
not have accounts ("Visitors") as well as those who may purchase Products and/or
pay a monthly service fee to subscribe to the Service ("Members")-what we do
with the
information we collect, and the choices Visitors and Members have concerning the
collection and use of such information. We request that you read this Privacy
Policy
carefully.
Personal Information Our
Company Collects and How It Is Used
Introduction. Our company collects
information in different ways from Visitors and
Members who access the various parts of our Services and the network of Web
sites
accessible through our Service. We use this information primarily to provide a
customized experience as you use our Products and Services, and generally, do
not share
this information with third parties. However, we may disclose personal
information
collected if we have received your permission beforehand or in very special
circumstances, such as when we believe that such disclosure is required by law
or other
special cases described below.
Registration: Members may be asked to
provide certain personal information when they
sign up for our Products or Services including name, address, telephone number,
billing
information (such as a credit card number), and the type of personal computer
being used
to access the Services. The personal information collected from Members during
the
registration process is used to manage each Member's account (such as for
billing
purposes). This information is not shared with third parties, unless
specifically stated
otherwise or in special circumstances.
Our company only contacts individuals who
specifically request that we do so or in the event that they have signed up to
receive our free newsletters or have purchased one of our products. Our comapny
collects personally identifying information from our users during online
registration and online purchasing. Generally, this information includes name
and e-mail address for registration to receive our free newsletters and name,
postal address, and credit card information when purchasing our products. All of
this information is provided to us by you.
Your information is stored at the list server
that delivers our company's newsletters. Your information can only be accessed
by those who help manage those lists in order to deliver e-mail to those who
would like to receive our company's newsletters.
All of the newsletters that are sent to you by
our company include an unsubscribe link in them. You can remove yourself at any
time from our newsletters by clicking on the unsubscribe link. You can also
contact us at info@alcoholfreesociallife.com to change your information at any time.
Online Shopping: At some Web sites, you
can purchase products and services or register to receive materials, such as a
newsletter, catalog or new product and service updates. In many cases, you may
be asked to provide contact information, such as your name, address, email
address, phone number, and credit/debit card information.
If you complete an order for someone else, such as an online gift order sent
directly to a
recipient, you may be asked to provide information about the recipient, such as
the
recipient's name, address, and phone number. Our company has no control over the
third
parties' use of any personal information you provide when placing such an order.
Please
exercise care when doing so.
If you order services or products directly from
our company we will use the personal
information you provide only to process that order. We do not share this
information with
outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order.
Responses to Email Inquiries: When
Visitors or Members send email inquiries to our
company, the return email address is used to answer the email inquiry we
receive. Our
company does not use the return email address for any other purpose and does not
share
the return email address with any third party.
Voluntary Customer Surveys: We may
periodically conduct both business and
individual customer surveys. We encourage our customers to participate in these
surveys
because they provide us with important information that helps us to improve the
types of
products and services we offer and how we provide them to you. Your personal
information and responses will remain strictly confidential, even if the survey
is
conducted by a third party. Participation in our customer surveys is voluntary.
We may take the information we receive from individuals responding to our
Customer
Surveys and combine (or aggregate) it with the responses of other customers we
may
have, to create broader, generic responses to the survey questions (such as
gender, age,
residence, hobbies, education, employment, industry sector, or other demographic
information). We then use the aggregated information to improve the quality of
our
services to you, and to develop new services and products. This aggregated,
non-personally identifying information may be shared with third parties.
Special Cases: It is our company's policy
not to use or share the personal information
about Visitors of Members in ways unrelated to the ones described above without
also
providing you an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated
uses.
However, we may disclose personal information about Visitors or Members, or
information regarding your use of the Services or Web sites accessible through
our
Services, for any reason if, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is
reasonable to do so,
including: credit agencies, collection agencies, merchant database agencies, law
enforcement, or to satisfy laws or legal requests for such information; to
disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal
action against someone who may be violating our Acceptable Use Policy or Terms
Of Service, or other user policies; to operate the Services properly; or to
protect our company and our Members.
"Cookies" and How Our Company Uses Them. A
"cookie" is a small data file that can be placed on your hard drive when you
visit certain Web sites. Our company may use
cookies to collect, store, and sometimes track information for statistical
purposes to
improve the products and services we provide and to manage our
telecommunications
networks.
If you are a Visitor or Member we may use a
cookie to save your settings and to provide
customizable and personalized services. These cookies do not enable third
parties to
access any of your customer information. Additionally, be aware that if you
visit other
Web sites where you are prompted to log in or that are customizable, you may be
required to accept cookies.
Public Forums: Please remember that any
information you may disclose in any Member
Directory, or other public areas of our Web sites or the Internet, becomes
public
information. You should exercise caution when deciding to disclose personal
information
in these public areas.
Our Company's Commitment to Data Security:
Services and Web sites we sponsor have security measures in place to protect the
loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. While we make
every effort to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we
cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party "hackers"
from illegally obtaining this information.
