privacy information
AdultAuto Development ("AAD") recognizes the importance of protecting
the privacy of all information provided by users of our web site and our
customers. We created this policy with a fundamental respect for our users’
right to privacy and to guide our relationships with our users. This privacy
statement discloses the privacy practices for all products and services
owned by AAD.
INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
AAD collects information from our website users, subscribers and customers.
In this section of our privacy policy, we will describe the type of
information we collect and how we use it to provide better services
to our customers.
Registration and Ordering
When signing up for certain selected services (such as free subscriptions),
users must first register. During registration, users are required to
give their contact information (such as name, e-mail address, mailing
address and phone number). We also may collect demographic information
(such as job title and purchasing responsibilities, company information
and professional certification). For internal purposes, we use this
information to communicate with users and provide requested services,
and, for our website visitors, to provide a more personalized experience
on our site. We use aggregate demographic information about our audience
to improve our service, for marketing purposes and/or industry reporting
purposes.
Many of our products and services are free to subscribers who meet
certain demographic criteria. Independent auditors may need to certify
the eligibility of these subscribers. In order to do that, we may collect
unique identifiers (such as mother’s maiden name) that we disclose to
the auditors strictly for industry reporting and audit verification
purposes.
For our services that require payment (such as certain events, products
and subscriptions), we also collect credit card information (such as
account name, number and expiration date), which is used for billing
purposes only, and is not otherwise shared.
E-mail Newsletters
If users wish to subscribe to our e-mail newsletters, we ask for contact
information (such as name, e-mail address and, occasionally, demographic
information). We use this information in the same manner as we use contact
information in the registration and ordering process described above.
Recipients of our newsletters can unsubscribe using the instructions
listed at the end of the e-mail newsletter.
Surveys and Contests
From time to time we invite users to provide information via surveys
or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether to disclose requested
contact information (such as name and mailing address) and demographic
information (such as zip code or job title). In addition to other uses
set forth in this policy, contact information collected in connection
with surveys and contests is used to notify the winners and award prizes,
to monitor or improve the use and satisfaction of the site, and may
be shared with sponsors of such surveys or contests.
Tell-A-Friend
If users elect to use our referral service for informing a friend about
our site and services, we may ask them for the friend's name, job title
and e-mail address. AAD will store and use this information to send
the friend an invitation. This information may also be used to provide
information about our company and related products and services. The
friend may contact us as specified in the tell-a-friend message to request
that no further communications be sent.
Communications with Us
We have features where users can submit information to us (such as our
feedback forms). Letters to the editor and similar submissions may be
made public. Requests for service, support or information may be forwarded
as needed to best respond to a specific request. We may retain e-mails
and other information sent to us for our internal administrative purposes,
and to help us to serve customers better.
Communications from Us: Service Updates, Special Offers
In order to best serve our customers, we may send updates that contain
important information about our site and services. For example, we send
new members a welcoming message, and verify password and username for
our password-protected site. We may also communicate with a user to
provide requested services and for account-related issues via e-mail,
phone or regular mail.
We offer our users the option to receive information about our company,
related product, service and special deal. Users can choose not to receive
these communications, as set forth in our Permission section below.
Automatic Data Collection
Our web site have features that automatically collect information from
users, to deliver content specific to users' interests and to honor
their preferences. This information assists us in creating sites that
will serve the needs of our users.
We use "cookies," a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing
information about the user. Cookies benefit the user by requiring login
only once, thereby saving time while on our site. If users reject the
cookies, they may be limited in the use of some areas of our site. For
example, the user may not be able to participate in sweepstakes, contests
or drawings. Additionally, we may note some of the pages the user visits
on our site through the use of pixel tags (also called clear gifs).
The use of cookies and pixels enable us to track and target the interests
of our users to enhance the experience on our site.
Some of our business affiliates use cookies on our site in ads or promotions.
However, we have no access to or control over these business affiliates'
cookies; we urge users to read their privacy policies for information.
For our internal purposes, we gather date, time, browser type, navigation
history and IP address of all visitors to our site. This information
does not contain anything that can identify users personally. We use
this information for our internal security audit log, trend analysis
and system administration, and to gather broad demographic information
about our user base for aggregate use.
We may combine demographic information supplied by a subscriber at
registration with site usage data to provide general profiles, in aggregate
non-personally identifiable form, about our users and their preferences
in the content of the site and advertising. We may share this composite
information with our advertisers and business affiliates to help them
better understand our services.
We may share aggregate information, which is not personally identifiable,
with others. This information may include usage and demographic data,
but it will not include personal information.
CORRECTION/UPDATING PERSONAL INFORMATION
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as zip
code), or if a user no longer desires our product(s)/service(s), we
provide a way to correct or update that user's personal data. The user
should contact Customer Support for the applicable product or service.
SECURITY
We use reasonable precautions to protect our users' personal information
and to store it securely. Sensitive information that is transmitted
to us online (such as credit card number) is encrypted and is transmitted
to us securely. In addition, access to all of our users' information,
not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted. Only
employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example,
a billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access
to personally identifiable information. Finally, the servers on which
we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
LINKS
Our web site contain links to other sites. AAD is not responsible for
the privacy practices or content of such other sites. We encourage our
users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements
of each web site to which we may link that may collect personally identifiable
information.
NOTIFICATION and CHANGES
If we change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this
page so our users are aware of what information we collect, how we use
it and under which circumstances, if any, we disclose it. Users should
check this policy frequently to keep abreast of any changes.
