Buzzvine Privacy Policy

June 18, 2007

At Buzzvine we recognize the importance of protecting personal information. This policy applies to the services offered by Buzzvine, LLC.

Introduction

Buzzvine has established this Privacy Policy to explain how we intend to treat and protect Personal Information you provide us as part of using this website.

We offer services that do not require you to register or provide any personal information. In order to utilize the full range of services provided by Buzzvine, certain information will be collected, which information is the subject of this Privacy Policy.

Information and updating information

Personal Information means information that may be used to identify an individual, which may include such items as name, address, email address, telephone number, user name, password, credit card and other billing information.

We provide you with access to your personal information to correct the information if it is inaccurate or to delete the information at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained for legal or other legitimate business reason. We ask users to identify themselves before processing such requests and may decline to process requests that are unreasonable, technically difficult, or that may compromise the privacy of others.

Cookies and other information

Certain of our web pages send “cookies” – a small file containing a string of characters – to your computer to track Web site activity. Some cookies and other technologies may serve to recall Personal Information previously indicated by a Web user. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them.

You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser, but please note that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, some Buzzvine features and services may not function properly.

Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host names; Internet protocol (IP) addresses; browser software and operating system types; clickstream patterns; and dates and times that our site is accessed. Our use of cookies and other tracking technologies allows us to improve our Web site and your Web experience. We may also analyze information that does not contain Personal Information for trends and statistics.

Communications

When you send emails or other types of communications, we may retain these in order to respond to your requests or improve our services.

Information Sharing

Buzzvine may share personal information with other companies, organizations or individuals to respond to legal requirements, enforce our policies, or protect anyone's rights, property, or safety.

We may also share your personal information with:

• Other third parties to whom you explicitly ask us to send your information (or about whom you are otherwise explicitly notified and consent to when using a specific service).
• Service providers under contract who help with our business operations (such as fraud investigations, bill collection, affiliate and rewards programs and co-branded credit cards).
• Law enforcement or other governmental officials, in response to a verified request relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity. In such events, we will disclose information relevant to the investigation.
• Members of our corporate family to help detect and prevent potentially illegal acts and provide joint content and services (for example, registration, transactions and customer support). Our corporate affiliates will send marketing communications only to users who request these services.
• Other business entities, should we plan to merge with or be acquired by that business entity. Should such a combination occur, we will require that the new combined entity follow this privacy policy with respect to your personal information, or you will receive prior notice.

We may utilize and share with third parties certain pieces on non-personal information for statistical reasons to show activity or effectiveness, which does not identify individuals.

Limitation

This Privacy Policy applies only to websites and services provided by Buzzvine. We do not control the sites displayed as search results or links from within our site. These other sites may collect data, solicit personal information, or place cookies on your computer.

Commitment

Wherever your Personal Information may be held by Buzzvine or on its behalf, we intend to take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the Personal Information that you share with us from unauthorized access or disclosure.

Consent

You agree that we may use your information to contact you and deliver information to you that, in some cases, is targeted to your interests, such as targeted banners, administrative notices, product offerings, and communications relevant to your use of the Site. By accepting the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy you expressly agree to receive this information. If you do not wish to receive these communications, we encourage you to opt-out of the receipt of certain communications on the Account User Profile Edit page. You may make changes to your profile page at any time. You can remove yourself from receiving some of this information by changing the appropriate option on the profile page.

Changes

This Privacy Policy may change form time to time. While most changes are anticipated to be minor in nature, we will nevertheless post all changes to this policy on this page in the form of an amended, dated Privacy Policy. If changes are deemed significant, we will provide a more prominent notice, such as an email notification.
