Your privacy on the Internet is important to us. As part of the operations of
Surf Highway Software, we gather certain types of information about Surf Highway Software users. This Privacy
Policy ("Privacy Policy") explains the types of information we gather, what we
do with it and how you may correct or change information that Surf Highway Software may collect.
Information Collected by Surf Highway Software Surf Highway Software collects two types of
information about users: personal information (such as name and e-mail address)
and aggregate information (such as information about how many users log on to
our sites on a daily basis).
Personal Information Personal information is collected when users
voluntarily register for membership services. These services include receiving
electronic newsletters, creating personal stock portfolios, using community and
communication services, answering surveys, purchasing items, and entering
contests and other promotional opportunities provided on our sites. We may
collect personal information from you in other areas of our sites, but we will
provide on-screen notification that we are doing so. We may receive personal
usage and demographic information from our third-party partners, and we also
collect e-mail addresses from users who send us support mail or request
technical or other help. This information enables Surf Highway Software to improve our sites to
make your online visits more productive and enjoyable.
Aggregate Information One method of collecting aggregate
information about your activities online (such as the pages you access most
frequently or the search terms you enter), and information volunteered by you
(such as survey or registration information), is by tracking Internet Protocol
(IP) addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your
computer whenever you surf the Web. The computers that deliver the Web pages to
you automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you request a
page from one of our sites, our servers log your IP address.
Our sites record IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and
to provide aggregate data to advertisers about the volume of use on our sites.
We also create aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for
advertisers and partners. This allows these parties to advertise more
effectively, and allows you to receive advertisements that are most relevant to
your personal interests. An advertiser will not know that you clicked its
advertisement unless you voluntarily and explicitly permit us to provide such
information.
Search Terms As a measure of user interest, we track search terms
that are entered into our sites' search features. Search data and user-provided
information help to improve the relevancy of search results by learning user
preferences and prioritizing search results accordingly. The intended result is
a more efficient search feature for visitors to our sites.
Use of Cookies Our sites use 'cookies' to record information. A
cookie is a small data file that Web sites store on your hard drive when you
visit them. Cookies allow us to measure activity on our sites and to improve
your user experience by remembering your passwords and viewing preferences, and
allowing you to visit various members-only parts of our sites without
re-registering. Cookies allow us to determine which areas and features of our
sites are most popular by measuring user activity. This information allows us to
make improvements and updates to improve your Surf Highway Software experience. Our sites do not
use cookies to retrieve any information from your computer.
Most browsers are set to accept cookies. If you prefer, you may set your
browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However,
some parts of our sites, such as the members-only areas (i.e. shopping, contest
and game areas) will not function properly if you choose not to accept cookies.
You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers. Surf Highway Software does not control
these cookies, and they are not subject to Surf Highway Software's Privacy Policy.
Use of Information Collected by Surf Highway Software Surf Highway Software uses the personal
information we collect to improve the content of our sites; to customize the
content and/or layout of our sites for each individual user; to notify users
about updates to our sites or promotional offers or opportunities that we
believe will be of interest to users; and to investigate violations of our terms
and conditions of use.
Sharing Data with Surf Highway Software Affiliates Surf Highway Software may share the personal and
aggregate information we collect with our affiliates and other sites operated by
or for Surf Highway Software.
Electronic Newsletters Some of our sites offer free, electronic
newsletters as a service to our users. You will only receive a newsletter if you
agree to receive it during registration to one of the areas of our sites or
directly from our newsletter sign-up form. We will not divulge your membership
in a newsletter mailing list to any third parties, including advertisers or
partners, if you request that we not do so when you register.
Surf Highway Software Shopping Surf Highway Software's shopping services allow you to search merchant
sites and make online purchases. These purchases may require credit card and
personal contact information. Surf Highway Software's shopping services store your information
and send it to the merchant automatically when you make your purchase, using
encryption technology to protect your information during this transfer.
CHILDREN AND PRIVACY Surf Highway Software encourages parents and guardians to spend
time with their children online, and to be familiar with the sites their
children visit. Surf Highway Software relies on our users to be truthful.
Individuals Under 13 No information should be submitted to or
posted on our sites by users under the age of 13. Individuals under the age of
13 are not allowed to become registered users of our sites.
Individuals 13 Through 17 Surf Highway Software requests that children under the age
of 18 not submit or post information to our sites. If an individual between the
ages of 13 and 17 does so, Surf Highway Software may collect information (including personally
identifying information). This information may be used for marketing and
promotional purposes by Surf Highway Software and may, with the user's permission, be shared with
pre-screened third parties. If a user or his/her parent or guardian changes
his/her mind with respect to such use, that user, parent or guardian may stop
that use either by e-mail request or by modifying his/her registration
information online.
Community and Public Areas Information posted to message boards,
chat areas, clubs and home pages is available to the general public. Please use
caution when posting any such information. Users under the age of 18 should be
particularly careful not to provide any personally identifying information while
using chat rooms or message boards. Users of chat areas and message boards must
follow acceptable standards of behavior when posting messages online. Surf Highway Software
reserves the right to, but is not obligated to, refuse or delete any content
that in our sole discretion is considered inappropriate.
Links to Other Sites Our sites contain links to sites other than
our own. Those sites may not follow the same privacy policies as Surf Highway Software. Such
links may be to advertisers, content providers or partners who may use our logo
and/or style as a result of a co-branding agreement. These sites may send their
own cookies to you, and may collect information and use it in a way inconsistent
with Surf Highway Software's privacy policy. Surf Highway Software does not control the content that appears on
these sites. Such sites may contain information that content providers
independent of Surf Highway Software have created, maintained, published, posted or otherwise
made available.
The use of any information or materials that you may access at these external
sites is purely voluntary. You should not rely on their contents without
independent and thorough review of the accuracy, completeness, effectiveness,
timeliness and correct sequencing. These external sites may also refer to
specific commercial products, processes, or services by trade name, trademark,
service mark, manufacturer or otherwise. Unless Surf Highway Software has provided explicit
authority, such references in no way indicate our endorsement, recommendation or
preference.
Additional Information No transmission of data over the Internet is
guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for third parties not
under the control of Surf Highway Software to intercept or access transmissions or private
communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your personal information,
Surf Highway Software cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to
us. Any such transmission is done at your own risk.
Under no circumstances, including but not limited to negligence, shall Surf Highway Software
be liable for any special, incidental or consequential damages that result from
the use of the information or materials on our sites, even if Surf Highway Software or an
authorized representative of Surf Highway Software, has been advised of the possibility of such
damages.
Surf Highway Software reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Any such
changes will be posted online. Questions should be directed to info@surfhighway.com.
USE OF THIS SITE SIGNIFIES YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND AGREEMENT TO COMPLY WITH
THE ENTIRE PRIVACY POLICY.
