OUR CUSTOMERS PRIVACY
This site is owned and operated by FaceOrganics LLC.
Your privacy on the Internet
is of the utmost importance to us. We want to make your experience
online satisfying and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we
feel you should fully understand our policy and the terms and
conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This
privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we
use it.
FaceOrganics LLC gathers two types of information about users:
-
Information that users provide through optional, voluntary
submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our
electronic newsletters, to participate in our message boards or
forums, to email a friend, and from participation in polls and
surveys:
-
Information through aggregated tracking information derived
mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. This
information allows us to better tailor our content to readers'
needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors better understand
the demographics of our audience.
FaceOrganics LLC gathers User Information In The Following
Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which require some type of
voluntary submission of personal information by users:
Privacy Policy Sample
The following is a list of different policies which can be edited to
remove the parts of the policy that are not needed. You should also
add anything to this
policy template
that you may have on your site.
1. Electronic newsletters policy (Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. FaceOrganics
LLC gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe.
Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by following the
link provided in every newsletter that points users to the
subscription management page. Users can also subscribe to the
newsletters at the time of registration.
2. Message boards/forums policy
Users of the site's Message Boards and Forums must register
separately for these services (both are free of charge) in order to
post messages, although they needn't register to visit the site.
During registration the user is required to supply a username,
password, and email address.
3. "E-mail this to a friend" policy
Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or
documents to someone else by clicking "e-mail this to a friend". The
user must provide their email address, as well as that of the
recipient. This information is used only in the case of transmission
errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the email.
The information is not used for any other purpose.
4. Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share
their opinions with other users and see what our audience thinks
about important issues. Opinions or other responses to polls are
aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular user.
FaceOrganics LLC may use a system to "tag" users after they have
voted, so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag
is not correlated with information about individual users.
5. Surveys
FaceOrganics LLC may occasionally conduct user surveys to better
target our content to our audience. We sometimes share the
aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our
sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of this
information about specific individuals with any third party.
Privacy Policy Template changes
The policy clause about children below is becoming more important as
it is nearly impossible to tell the age of any visitor. We recommend
adding this sample line to all your forms that request information.
Children
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally
identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without
requesting parental consent.
Usage tracking
FaceOrganics LLC tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our
sites. However, we do not correlate this information with data about
individual users. FaceOrganics LLC does break down overall usage
statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME
type by reading this information from the browser string
(information contained in every user's browser).
Cookies
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of
your computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal
Information although it will enable us to relate your use of this
site to information that you have specifically and knowingly
provided. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is
information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your
hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. FaceOrganics
LLC uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described
above). Our advertising system delivers a one-time cookie to better
track ad impressions and click rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If
you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you
will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need
to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need
cookies to participate actively in message boards, forums, polling
and surveys.
Privacy Policy Use
How the information you gather is used if relevent.
USE OF INFORMATION
FaceOrganics LLC uses any information voluntarily given by our users
to enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether to
provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to
better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide
in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to
participate in polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. We send
out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on
the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we
think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we
are doing. FaceOrganics LLC never shares newsletter mailing lists
with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our
sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We
do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each
page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better
service for you. We track search terms entered in Search function as
one of many measures of what interests our users. But we don't track
which terms a particular user enters.
FaceOrganics LLC creates aggregate reports on user demographics and
traffic patterns for advertisers, sponsors and partners. This allows
our advertisers to advertise more effectively, and allows our users
to receive advertisements that are pertinent to their needs. Because
we don't track the usage patterns of individual users, an advertiser
or sponsor will never know that a specific user clicked their ad. We
will not disclose any information about any individual user except
to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect
the personal safety of our users or the public.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
FaceOrganics LLC uses the above-described information to tailor our
content to suit your needs and help our advertisers better
understand our audience's demographics. This is essential to keeping
our service free. We will not share information about individual
users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or
valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users
or the public.
SECURITY
FaceOrganics LLC operates secure data networks protected by industry
standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security and
privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary
and only authorized individuals have access to the information
provided by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices
include:
-
Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.
-
Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which
completely alleviates the need to gather any personally
identifiable information from our users
YOUR CONSENT
By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of this
information by FaceOrganics LLC. If we decide to change our privacy
policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are
always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and
under what circumstances we disclose it.
