Affiliated-Business.com Privacy Policy

Affiliated-Business.com strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience. We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We will never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third party. Period."

How we gather information from users

How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide information when you register for access to certain portions of our site or request certain features, such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide information when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site. Like most Web sites, Affiliated-Business.com also collects information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you and hold information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able to customize the site's features according to your preferences.

What we do with the information we collect

Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share your information with anyone.

Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this information does not include any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to identify you individually.

We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on Affiliated-Business.com to communicate with you about your registration and customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy; services and products offered by Affiliated-Business.com and other topics we think you might find of interest.

Personally Identifiable Information collected by Affiliated-Business.com may also be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications with you. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting service for example) may access such information. We will use your information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.

Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements

Affiliated-Business.com expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible through our site, may have their own privacy and data collection policies and practices. For example, during your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a Affiliated-Business.com page, certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through Affiliated-Business.com you may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. Affiliated-Business.com is not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing information on a feature or page operated by a third party.

While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about you. For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other features available on our site may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather information. Affiliated-Business.com does not control the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.

You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of Affiliated-Business.com and this policy.

I am a strong believer in the rights to privacy of people who use the Internet.  At the Affiliated-Business.com site, I will not collect any personally identifiable information from visitors, except with their permission (explicit or implied) as a result of such visitor-initiated actions as signing up for a newsletter, mail list, or "tell-a-friend.". E-mail addresses supplied in those circumstances may be used to provide visitors with e-mailings about this site and related topics.

Visitors should be aware that this site contains many third-party links to and from other sites on the Internet. Many of these connections use cookies and other means to track the progress of people in this site - such as the tracking service provided by Hitbox.com to measure traffic at this site.  Some links to other sites will involve tracking for affiliate-accounting & traffic-monitoring purposes and will therefore track a visitor's movement to, and at, other sites.  All third party links and connections are governed by the individual  privacy policies of those other sites.

If you believe that you have received "spam" or other unsolicited communications as a result of visiting Affiliated-Business.com, please contact me to let me know so I can take any appropriate action to remedy the situation.

With best regards - Daniel Russo
