|
What information does whatUseek collect and how is it used?
|
| |
|
whatUseek collects and uses the following types of
information: cookies, IP addresses, browser type, access times, URLs, registration and billing
information, and tags for whether or not an email has been viewed. The collection and use
of each of these is described below:
|
| a. |
|
Cookies are used to assign identification to your computer and to track the effectiveness of marketing
campaigns for whatUseek offerings. Information stored in cookies includes reference numbers, which can be queried
internally by whatUseek and correlated with other data stored locally on whatUseek servers. Such reference numbers can
track the effectiveness of a particular marketing campaign, manage sessions, personalize content for you, analyze traffic
patterns and visitor behavior within whatUseek web sites for purposes of marketing and user friendliness, or perform other
functions. Another form of information stored in cookies is login information as part of the optional "Remember
Me" function found throughout the whatUseek sites. When the "Remember Me" function is turned on, your
username and password is automatically inserted into the given login form. You may turn off the cookies feature of your
web browser within its preference settings, but in doing so, you will limit some of the features available to you in the
whatUseek sites.
|
| b. |
|
Your IP addresses may also be tracked for purposes of security, diagnosing technical problems, managing
sessions, personalize content for you, analyzing traffic patterns and visitor behavior within whatUseek web sites (as it
applies to marketing and user friendliness), and/or identifying and performing functions relating to your specific geographic
location.
|
| c. |
|
Browser types, access times, and referring URLs (URLs from which a whatUseek page was linked) are
recorded. Except as stated otherwise in this privacy policy, whatUseek does not provide this information to any third
parties, except in aggregate form.
|
| d. |
|
In order to sign-up for services or make requests, such as for sales inquiries or proposals, we may ask you
to submit personal information. This information may include, for example, for name and email address. You may
always choose not to provide us with such information; however, this may limit our ability to provide you with a specific
service or properly answer your inquiries.
|
| e. |
|
If you register for a paid service on a whatUseek site, you may be required to submit billing
information. We make our best efforts to protect your billing information through encryption, although we cannot
guarantee complete security. In order to complete a transaction, payment information may be processed by a third-party,
such as a merchant bank.
|
| f. |
|
We may also collect information through the use of "pixel tags" included in email messages that we
send you. Pixel tags are small, invisible images that are included in HTML emails. When an email with a pixel tag
is viewed (and this pixel tag is accessed from our servers), we are able to record information relating to the viewing of
this tag. Such information would include, but is not limited to, the date and time at which the message was viewed, the
email address, and the IP address of the user. |

promotional emails only to those who give us permission to do so. In every such email, we will

similar communications. If at any time you feel that you have received an email from whatUseek
