Socialpolitan.org GBG 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. Like most web sites, Socialpolitan.org GBG
also collects 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
Socialpolitan.org GBG to communicate with you about your registration and
customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy;
services and products offered by Socialpolitan.org GBG and
Socialpolitan.org GBG and other topics we think you might find of
interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by Socialpolitan.org GBG
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
Socialpolitan.org GBG 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 Socialpolitan.org GBG page, certain content that is actually
created or hosted by a third party. Also, through Socialpolitan.org GBG
you may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web
sites, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties.
Socialpolitan.org GBG 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.
Socialpolitan.org GBG 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 Socialpolitan.org GBG and Socialpolitan.org GBG and
this policy.
Children
Socialpolitan.org GBG does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally
Identifiable Information from or about children under the age of 18
except as permitted by law. If we discover we have received any

Socialpolitan.org GBG has any information from or about anyone under 18,
please contact us at the address listed below.
Socialpolitan.org GBG reserves the right to change this policy at any
time. Please check this page periodically for changes. Your
continued use of our site following the posting of changes to these
terms will mean you accept those changes. Information collected
prior to the time any change is posted will be used according to the
rules and laws that applied at the time the information was
collected.
