PRIVACY
POLICY
Last Updated: October 1,
2004
Social Buzz Master strives to offer its
visitors the many advantages of Internet technology and to provide
an interactive and personalized experience. We may use Personally
Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street address,
telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy.
"We will never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any
unauthorized third party. Period."
How we gather information from
users
How we collect and store information
depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you
elect to participate and the services provided. For example, you may
be asked to provide information when you register for access to
certain portions of our site or request certain features, such as
newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide information
when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and
chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site. Social Buzz Master Web
sites also collect information automatically and through the use of
electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For
example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or
use cookie technology to recognize you and hold information from
your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your user name
and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information
each time you visit, or may control the number of times you
encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we
adopt additional technology, we may also gather information through
other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with
information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept
cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions
of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password,
and we may not be able to customize the site?s features according to
your preferences.
What we do with the information we
collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect
information to enhance your visit and deliver more individualized
content and advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share
your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information
that does not personally identify you) may be used in many ways. For
example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with
similar information obtained from other users to help enhance our
site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or
what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may
occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners.
Again, this information does not include any Personally Identifiable
Information about you or allow anyone to identify you
individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable
Information collected on Social Buzz Master websites to communicate with
you about your registration and customization preferences; our Terms
of Service and privacy policy; services and products offered by
Social Buzz Master websites and other topics we think you might find of
interest.
Personally Identifiable Information
collected by Social Buzz Master Web sites may also be used for other
purposes, including but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions,
administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications
with you. Certain third parties who provide technical support for
the operation of our site (our Web hosting service for example) may
access such information. We will use your information only as
permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we continue to
develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other
companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information may
be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your
information in response to a court order, at other times when we
believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection
with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law
enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or
necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to
disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and
advertisements
Social Buzz Master expects its partners,
advertisers and affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be
aware, however, that third parties, including our partners,
advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible
through our site, may have their own privacy and data collection
policies and practices. For example, during your visit to our site
you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a Social Buzz Master Web
site page, certain content that is actually created or hosted by a
third party. Also, through a Social Buzz Master web site page you may be
introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites,
features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties.
Social Buzz Master is not responsible for the actions or policies of such
third parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies of
those third parties when providing information on a feature or page
operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers,
promotional partners or other third parties may use cookies or other
technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or
retrieve information about you. For example, some of our advertising
is served by third parties and may include cookies that enable the
advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular
advertisement before. Other features available on our site may offer
services operated by third parties and may use cookies or other
technology to gather information. Social Buzz Master does not control the
use of this technology by third parties or the resulting
information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of
such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you
voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable Information on message
boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed publicly and
can be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and
may result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third
parties. Such activities are beyond the control of Social Buzz Master and
this policy.
Children
Social Buzz Master does not knowingly collect
or solicit Personally Identifiable Information from or about
children under 13 except as permitted by law. If we discover we have
received any information from a child under 13 in violation of this
policy, we will delete that information immediately. If you believe
Social Buzz Master has any information from or about anyone under 13,

used according to the rules and laws that applied at the time the
information was collected.
