Privacy Policy:
Great Exposure Inc. recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy
of all information provided by users of our web site, registrants for
our events, recipients of our e-mail newsletters and all of our
customers. We created this policy with a fundamental respect for our
users’ right to privacy and to guide our relationships with our users.
Information College &
Use
GREAT EXPOSURE INC. 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.
Information Not Collected by GREAT EXPOSURE INC.:
A user can access our Web sites and utilize many of our services without
providing any information at all. Nor will their browsing path outside
of our web site be followed.
We do develop summary - not individual - reports for our advertisers.
The people that make it possible for visitors to use GREAT EXPOSURE INC.
services for free - our advertisers - need this information to determine
how effective their advertising investments are. We never tell our
advertisers the identity of a user who saw or clicked on their
advertisements unless the user has expressly given permission to do so.
In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA),
GREAT EXPOSURE INC. does not collect or store any personal information,
even in aggregate, about children under the age of 13.
Information GREAT EXPOSURE INC. Does Collect:
Optional Sign Ups
If users wish to utilize certain services located on GREAT EXPOSURE INC.
websites, they must sign up. Services that require some form of sign up
currently include:
• Participation in contests
• Volunteer Search
• Use of GREAT EXPOSURE INC. subscriber services
• E-mail newsletters (e-mail address only)
The information collected when a user signs up for a service can include
an e-mail address (which also functions as an account ID in some
instances), name, phone number or address. When signing up for a
service, a user may also "opt out" of various e-mail notifications or
offers.
Surveys, Contests & Lead Forms
From time to time we invite users to provide information via forms.
Participation in these 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. By choosing to opt-in (check off) where
remarked "Yes. I would like GREAT EXPOSURE INC. to advise me of
scholarships, financial aid, contests and other features." participants
agree to accept emails, letters and all forms of communication that
utilize the information provided by the participant. Participants may
opt-out at any time by using the provided link in all email
correspondence or by contacting GREAT EXPOSURE INC. by phone, fax, email
or mail.
Interactive Features
Occasionally, we offer interactive and community features such as
discussion boards, webcasts and chatrooms. While no personal information
need be disclosed to gain such access, users should understand that
should they choose to disclose personal information in these areas, it
will become public information.
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 opt-out using the instructions
listed at the end of the e-mail newsletter.
Tell a Friend
If users elect to use our referral service for informing a friend about
our sites and services, we may ask them for the friend's name, job title
and e-mail address. GREAT EXPOSURE INC. 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.
Automatic Data Collection & Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that a Web site transfers to a user's hard
drive when a user visits the Web site. A cookie file can contain
information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages
visited. The only personal information a cookie can contain is that
which a user supplies. A cookie can't read data off a hard disk or read
cookie files created by other sites. GREAT EXPOSURE INC. does not use
cookies to store passwords or any other personal information about a
user.
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.
With Whom Your Information is Shared
When we have co-branded, customized, private label, powered by or
sponsored products and services, or when we join with other parties to
provide specific services, we may share (provide and receive) personal
information with them. Credit Card information is never shared.
Other than as set forth above, we do not share personally identifiable
information with other companies, apart from those acting as our agents
in providing our product(s)/service(s), and which agree to use it only
for that purpose and to keep the information secure and confidential.
Also, our parent, subsidiary and affiliate companies, entities into
which our company may be merged, or entities to which any of our assets,
products, sites or operations may be transferred, will be able to use
personal information.
We will also disclose information we maintain when required to do so by
law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena or other
legal obligation, in response to a law enforcement agency's request, or
in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this
information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action
against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with
(either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property. Users
should also be aware that courts of equity, such as Canadian Bankruptcy
Courts, might have the authority under certain circumstances to permit
personal information to be shared or transferred to third parties
without permission.
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 sites contain links to other sites. GREAT EXPOSURE INC. 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 & 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.
