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.
QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR CONCERNS
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.
