PRIVACY POLICY (Effective January 1, 2005)


UrbanExecs.com is proud to be a member of The Urban Executive Group, LLC. We are committed to protecting your privacy while you are visiting our Site.

In order to provide the best in customer service, we may ask you to share "personal information" - such as your name, address, e-mail address, and phone number. First, we want you to understand our policy regarding the collection and use of your personal information.

THE PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED

You may visit our Site without providing us with any personal information.

MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION

Membership offers you the flexibility and freedom to access all areas of the site, and becoming a member is so easy to do. When you register to become a member, you will be asked to share with us certain basic personal information, such as your name, e-mail address, and password. Should you choose to do so, you can supplement the basics with your credit card number and more. After becoming a member, you can visit or update the personal information in your profile at any time. By completing and updating your personal information, you help us tailor our services to better meet your needs.

TRANSACTION INFORMATION

In order to complete a purchase, you will be asked to share with us information required to complete the transaction successfully, such as billing and shipping addresses, credit card number and expiration date, etc.

HOW PERSONAL INFORMATION IS USED

We will use your personal information in the following ways:

When you purchase products or services, your personal information will be shared with the third parties necessary to successfully complete the transaction - including the vendors you have selected and others who facilitate the transaction (for example, your credit card company).

As a member or guest, from time to time, you may receive communications from us or third parties performing services on our behalf, which include: (i) notifications regarding updates or modifications to our Site; and (ii) details regarding any special offers sponsored by us, such as rewards, rebates, sweepstakes, and gift promotions.

As a member or subscriber, you may also choose to receive from us, or trustworthy third parties acting on our behalf, special promotions that we believe will be valuable to you, including, without limitation, e-mails promoting special deals, sponsored by us or third-party vendors.

If you participate in a contest or sweepstakes, your personal information may be used by us, or trustworthy third parties acting on our behalf, to process your entry and fulfill any prize awarded to you.

From time to time, in an effort to improve our service, we may ask third parties to conduct marketing-research analyses on our behalf and, as such, the information we provide to them is restricted to marketing-research analyses only. Any personal information we provide to such third parties is protected under confidentiality agreements.

We may disclose your personal information (i) if you fail to pay amounts due for products or services; or (ii) if you violate our Terms of Use or any governmental, regulatory or other enforcement agency law, rule, or regulation. Unless otherwise prohibited by law or our contractual obligations, we may disclose personal information if required to do so by law, court order, or as requested by a governmental or law enforcement authority, or in the good faith belief that disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable. Such situations may include: to perform, maintain or enforce contracts with our customers; to protect our rights or properties and those of our business affiliates, customers, employees or others; or when we have reason to believe that disclosing the information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing, or who may be threatening to cause, interference with or damage to our rights or properties, whether intentionally or otherwise; or when anyone else could be harmed by such activities.

In the event that our Company or this Site or certain of our assets are acquired, your personal information may be one of the transferred assets.

Use of your personal information by third parties distributing promotions on our behalf shall be subject to our Privacy Policy.

To subscribe or unsubscribe to our e-mails, you can visit "My Account" at any time. Also, you may unsubscribe to our e-mails where indicated on our e-mails.

HOW WE USE PUBLIC INFORMATION AND OTHER DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

We may review all demographic information. We may use public information to enable other users to find your profile and to communicate with you. We may use demographic information to tailor the Site and communications to your interests. We may also share demographic information with advertisers on an anonymous and aggregated basis (i.e., without telling the advertisers your identity). One of the reasons we may do this is to increase the likelihood that our advertisers' goods and services will appeal to the Site's users, so that we may target specific ads at specific demographic groups. Our sharing of demographic information with advertisers is anonymous (i.e., we do not tell advertisers which particular users are members of which demographic groups), subject to the rest of this privacy policy. When you respond to an advertisement, however, we ask you to remember that if that ad that is targeted to a demographic group and you decide to give the advertiser your personal information, then the advertiser may be able to identify you as being a member of that demographic group. Also, to read further details about how we may use your public information, see our Terms of Use.

WHAT WE WON'T DO WITH PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will not sell or rent your personal information to any third parties.

SECURITY

Security of our customers' personal information is important to us.

As a member, your personal information is password-protected. If you ever forget your password, we will help you create a new one. Remember to log out of your account and close your browser window when you have finished visiting our Site in order to ensure that others cannot access your personal information.

To protect personal information transmitted to us, we use a security system that includes firewall technologies, intrusion detection systems, logical network segmentation, restricted access to stored profile information, and security restrictions to our databases and systems.

We permit authorized personnel only to access personal information.

We use industry-standard, secure-socket-layer (SSL) technology, which is utilized by most popular browsers, including Netscape and Microsoft Explorer, to encrypt (or convert into code) your personal information before it is transferred across the Internet. To further safeguard your most sensitive credit card information, we transfer such information across the Internet in an encrypted format and then store such information in our secure database.

Since we do not control transmissions over the Internet, via commercial Internet service providers, and/or the security of your personal computer, we cannot guarantee 100 percent secure transmission via the Internet. Use of the Internet is at your own risk. Also, it is important that you take steps to protect yourself against unauthorized access to your computer and your password.

OTHER, NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED

Like many other Internet sites, we automatically collect non-personal information regarding our visitors, such as software client information (for example, IP addresses, browser versions and operating systems) and aggregate information (for example, number of pages accessed) in order to analyze Web traffic and usage trends. Information of this nature does not pertain to your specific identity and is not associated with your personal information.

To enhance your experience on our Site, we and our third-party advertiser(s) commonly employ Internet technologies, such as "cookies," to collect and store non-personal information about our visitors. "Cookies" are small pieces of information that are transferred by a website and stored by your Web browser on your computer's hard drive. With most browsers, you can set the preferences to show a warning each time a cookie request is received. You can also set the browser not to accept cookies at all; however, we won't be able to personalize your experience if we cannot recognize you.

Cookies and Web beacons (also called "pixel tags") may be used by us or our third-party advertiser(s) to determine how you reached our Site, to track your usage patterns once you are on our Site, and to target our Internet banner advertisements on our Site and other websites.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS PRIVACY POLICY

Except as covered above, this Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices or policies of any companies or entities that we do not own or control, including links to sites that are not maintained by us, or to people that we do not employ or manage. Because these companies or entities may have privacy policies that differ from this Privacy Policy (or no privacy policy at all), please be sure to review their respective privacy policies before providing them with any personal information.

If you have additional questions or concerns regarding our Privacy Policy, please e-mail us at privacy@urbanexecs.com.

Privacy Policy Updates

We may, in our sole discretion, revise this Privacy Policy at any time; all such revisions shall be effective when posted. If we change the way your personal information will be used, we will post an announcement on our homepage. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy in order to keep apprised of our current privacy practices.
