myWebFaceTM Privacy Policy
Last Updated: June 01, 2009
The
myWebFace.com
website (the "Site") is owned and operated by Starnet
Interactive, Ltd. ("we" or "us" or "Starnet").
Internet privacy is an issue that we take very seriously. We provide this Privacy
Policy so that our Site users ("you") will know what
personally identifiable information is being collected about you, how that
information is being used, and with whom it is being shared. This Privacy
Policy addresses these issues as well as additional privacy-related issues that
we believe may be of interest to you. This Privacy Policy does not govern our
collection of information through any websites other than the Site, and does
not govern the collection of information by our affiliates.
This
Privacy Policy describes the online privacy practices for the Site and the
various services (collectively, the "Services") we provide on
or through the Site. By using the Site or the Services or by providing any
personally identifiable information using the Site or Services, you are
agreeing to the collection and use of such information in the manner described
in this Privacy Policy.
Eligibility
You must be 13 years of age or older to register or use the Site
and the Services. If you are older than 13 but under 18 years of age, by using
the Site and the Services you are telling us that you and your parent or
guardian have reviewed and consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy. (Please
see our Terms of Service located at myWebFace terms of use for further information.)
Changes to this Privacy Policy The terms of this Privacy Policy may
change from time to time. You should check back at the Site regularly to
determine if any material changes have been made. You can determine when this
Privacy Policy was last revised by referring to the "Last Updated"
legend at the top of this page. We will prominently post material changes on
the Site at least 14 days prior to the effective date of the change and will
also attempt to provide you with an on-line notice informing you when such
material changes have been made to this Privacy Policy. You agree that your
continued use of the Site and Services following the effective date of any such
changes will constitute your affirmative consent to the revised Privacy Policy.
If you do not accept such revisions, you must remove the myWebFace toolbar (the
"Toolbar") from your computer and cease all access to and use of the Site and
Services hereunder.
Information Collection
Anonymous Information
Anonymous Information is information that does not personally identify you,
such as IP address, other browser information, demographic information and
information about your interests. We collect Anonymous Information when you
visit and interact with the Site or the Services. Examples of ways in which we
collect Anonymous Information include the following:
Browser Information: Each time you come to the Site, we collect the
limited Anonymous Information that your browser makes available whenever you
visit any website. This information includes: (a) your Internet Protocol (IP)
address; (b) your domain name (e.g. whether you logged on from compaq.com or
whitehouse.gov); (c) the address of the last URL you visited prior to clicking
through to the Site; (d) your browser and platform type (e.g., a Netscape
browser on a Macintosh platform); (e) your browser language; and (f) the data
in any undeleted cookies that your browser previously accepted from us (see
"Cookies and Pixel Tags" below).
IP Address Information: Your IP address is an identifying number that
is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (
Cookies and Pixel Tags: The Site use cookies and other technologies
such as pixel tags to track traffic flow and patterns of travel within and
through the Site. Some types of software we distribute also use cookies to
indicate the distribution source for the software (so we can appropriately
compensate our distributors and to provide us retention and usage information)
and to store user preferences. Cookies are a standard Internet technology that
allow us to both store and retrieve login information on a user's system. Our
Web server automatically asks a new user's browser whether it will accept our
cookie file. If the user's browser accepts our cookie, our Web server will
record the cookie's unique ID for our use in internal reporting. Every time the
user returns to the Site, we will be able to read that cookie's ID number and,
among other things, can customize the services we deliver based on the user's
past preferences. If a user accepts our cookie, but would later like to remove
it from his or her computer, he or she can delete it using the browser. Consult
your browser's "help" menu to learn how to delete cookies.
Software Products: If you have installed one of our software
products, your use of such software may send additional information to us, such
as: your IP address, your browser type, your default language setting and an
identification of any button or menu item you selected or activated. Your use
of the myWebFace
Toolbar is governed by an End User License Agreement located at myWebFace EULA.
Miscellaneous: With the exception of your domain name (e.g., whether you
logged on from compaq.com or whitehouse.gov), and the URL you visited prior to
coming to our site, we do not automatically collect information about other
websites you visit on the Internet. We also do not collect any data regarding
your computer keystrokes (or other data) unrelated to the Services, the Site
and the software.
Information Use
Anonymous Information
Because Anonymous Information does not personally identify you, we may use such
information for any purpose. In addition, we reserve the right to share such
Anonymous Information, which does not personally identify you, with third
parties, for any purpose.
For
example, we collect the types of Anonymous Information described above to
improve the overall quality of the online experience, including product
monitoring, product improvement, and advertising. We may also use Anonymous
Information to count, track, and aggregate our users' activities into our
analysis of general traffic flows at the Site (e.g. tracking where traffic
comes from, how traffic flows within the Site, etc.). In addition, we may use
Anonymous Information we collect to ensure that these third-parties are appropriately
compensating us and that we are appropriately compensating our distributors.
All information about our users' activity is generally evaluated on an
anonymous (and generally only on an aggregated) basis, except in situations
such as a response to a customer service inquiry or to legal process.
Additionally, we may use your IP address, and the IP addresses of other users,
to calculate Site usage levels, to help diagnose problems with the Site's
servers, and to administer the Site.
In
addition, we may merge Anonymous Information about you into group data, which
may then be shared on an aggregated basis with our advertisers. If you provide
us with answers to voluntary survey questions, we may present this information
to our advertisers and partners in the form of grouped statistics compiled from
our users' answers to such questions. Please note that this is not a complete
list, but simply a few examples, of the ways in which we use and share
Anonymous Information.
Advertising: We use third party advertisement serving companies to serve
ads when you visit the Site. These companies may use information about your
visit to the Site in order to provide advertisements about goods and services
that may be of interest to you. In the course of serving advertisements to the
Site, these companies may place or recognize a unique cookie on your computer
or use other technologies such as pixel tags in connection to the Site. Our
Privacy Policy does not cover any use of information that a third-party ad
serving company may collect from you. If you would like more information about
this practice, or would like to know your choices about not having this
information used by advertising companies, please click here: http://www.networkadvertising.org/
Invitations to Unregistered Users: If you choose to use
our referral service to tell a friend about our Site or Services, we will ask
you for your friend's name and email address. We will then send to your friend
on your behalf a single email inviting him or her to visit the Site. Your
friend may contact us at info@help.mywebface.com
to request that we remove this information from our database.
Law Enforcement/Legal Requirements: Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Privacy Policy, we reserve the right to disclose your
certain information if we believe we are required to do so (a) by law; (b) to
comply with court orders or subpoenas; (c) in cooperation with a law
enforcement or government request; (d) where we believe it is necessary to
investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected
fraud or situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any
person; (e) to enforce our Terms of Service located at myWebFace terms of use; (f) as necessary to render or conduct a
legitimate business activity related to a service we provide; (g) to protect
our operations or those of our affiliates; (h) to permit us to pursue available
remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain; or (i) to comply with legal
or regulatory obligations.
Corporate Restructuring: Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Privacy Policy, we reserve the right to transfer any information collected and
other information to a third party if we or any of our affiliates are involved
in a corporate restructuring (e.g., a sale, merger or other transfer of
assets).
Children Under the Age of 13
As
a matter of policy, visitors known to be under the age of 13 are prohibited
from registering for or using the Site or Services. In accordance with the
Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 ("COPPA"),
we also do not knowingly collect Personally Identifiable Information from
anyone under the age of 13.
Other Websites/Links
We
do not control the information collection and distribution policies on Internet
domains other than the Sites. When you are on the Site, you may be directed to
other websites that are beyond our control. For example, if you
"click" on a banner advertisement or a search result, the
"click" may take you off of the Site. These other websites may
independently collect data, solicit personal information, or send their own
cookies to you. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of
such websites and any use of the information including click-stream data, which
you may create when using such third party sites.
PLEASE
NOTE THAT THIS POLICY DOES NOT ADDRESS THE PRIVACY PRACTICES OF ANY THIRD
PARTIES.
Security
We
have security measures in place intended to assist in preventing unauthorized
access to and in safeguarding any information we collect online. Unfortunately,
no security system can be 100% secured; accordingly, we cannot guarantee the
security of any information provided to us in connection with the information
that we collect online.
