We have created this privacy policy to demonstrate our strong commitment to protecting
your personal information and informing you about how we handle this information.
This privacy policy only applies to transactions and activities in which you engage,
and data gathered, on the FaceTheRating.com Website, FaceTheRating.com Instant Messenger,
FaceTheRating.com Forums, and FaceTheRating.com email communications between FaceTheRating.com
members (hereinafter collectively known as the "Site") but does not
apply to any other Website or offline point of contact between FaceTheRating.com,
or any other company, and consumers.
Please review this privacy policy periodically as we
may modify it from time to time without prior notice.
Each time you visit the Site or provide us with information,
by doing so you are accepting the practices described
in this privacy policy at that time.
The information collected from
our members at the time of registration is divided into the following sections:
Your IP Address:
Like most ecommerce websites on the Internet today, each time you visit our
Site we collect your IP address and the web pages that you visited, as well as
the websites that you came from. In order to better improve our Site, we use your
IP address to track your habits throughout our Site to get a better understanding
of a broad demographical pattern of our visitors.
Cookies: Like
most other websites on the Internet today, we also use cookies to keep track of
your purchases and other activity on the Site and to better enhance your experience
on the Site. We also use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests,
to save your password, and if you choose, to save other personal and financial
information so that you do not have to reenter it each time you visit the Site.
Third party advertisers on the Site may also place or read cookies on your browser.
Information: We Collect From You: In order to operate the Site
and to provide you with information or services that may be of interest to you,
we may collect "personal information" (i.e. information that could be
used to contact you direct (without using the Site) such as full name, postal
address, phone number or email address), "financial information" (i.e.
credit card numbers or passwords) or "demographical information" (i.e.
information that you submit, or that we collect, that is neither personal information
nor financial information; this may include, but is not limited to, zip code,
postal code, hometown, gender, username, age/birth date, purchase history information,
browsing history throughout the Site, searching history throughout the Site, registration
history information, and the content of communications between you and other members
over the Site), subject to the rest of this paragraph. Demographical information
is divided into two categories: 10 "non-public information", which consists
of purchase history information and one-on-one communications between you and
other users of the Site; and 2) "public information", which consists
of all other demographic information. We ask that you do not enter personal information
or financial information into your "Profile" (for example, don't use
your address or passcode as your username, or include your name or address in
your written responses for "Location", "About Me", "Turn
Ons", or "Turn Offs'; as well as any section of the Forums or Instant
Message services), because if you do then it may be posted publicly on the Site,
and the information will then be treated as "demographic information"
that is "public information." Please note that nowhere on the Site do
we knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18, as
we require that all users represent to us that they are at the age of 18 years
or older.
Use of Information Collected: We reserve the right to
use your "personal information" in the following ways, but not limited
to: contacting you directly in instances of email confirmations, promotional materials,
newsletters, transactions, important news about the Site, third parties' goods
or services. We may attempt to send you discounts, coupons, exclusive offers or
special event information. We also reserve the right to sell or rent your "personal
information" to third parties that we feel may have offers of interest to
our members.
Information Other Websites Collect From You: On the
Site, we place links to other Websites operated by other parties. Some of these
other Websites contain our brand names and trademarks and other intellectual property
that we own; others do not. When you click on these links and visit these other
Websites, regardless of whether or not they contain our brand names, trademarks
and other intellectual property, you need to be aware that we do not control these
other Websites or these other Websites' business practices, and that this privacy
policy does not apply to these other Websites. Consequently, the operators of
these other Websites may collect different kinds of information about you, and
may use and disclose that information in different ways than we would if it were
collected on the Site. We encourage you to review their privacy policies and remind
you that we will not be responsible for their actions.
