regarding the collection, use and disclosure of any Personal
Information you submit to us through our Website.
MyBizZone
("MyBizZone", "us" or "we") respects the privacy of the visitors to
its Website, the home page of which is located at
http://www.MyBizZone.com ("Website").

is information about you that is personally identifiable to you,
like your name, address, e-mail address, or phone number, as well as
other non-public information that is associated with the
foregoing.
"Anonymous Information" means information that is
not associated with or linked to your Personal Information;
Anonymous Information does not permit the identification of
individual persons. We collect and use Personal Information and
Anonymous Information as described in this Privacy

User Consent By submitting Personal
Information through our Website, you agree to the terms of this
Privacy Policy and expressly consent to the processing of your
Personal Information according to this Privacy Policy. Your
Personal Information may be processed by MyBizZone in the country
where it was collected as well as other countries (including the
United States of America) where laws regarding processing of
Personal Information may be less stringent than the laws in your
country.
General We collect Personal Information
that you submit to us voluntarily through our Website.
-
When you register for the MyBizZone network, we will collect
your name, e-mail address, your gender, date of birth and ZIP
code.
-
When you save other Personal Information in your profile we
will collect any such information you enter.
-
When you enter Personal Information throughout the MyBizZone
network using one of the features of the MyBizZone network, for
example journals, testimonials, groups, or message boards, we will
collect any such information you enter ("Publicly Posted
Information").
-
When you contact us by sending us
an e-mail, we will collect your e-mail addresses and any
information contained in the e-mail you send us.
Once you register with MyBizZone and sign in to our services, you
are not anonymous to us. If you are browsing the Website without
registering with MyBizZone, you are anonymous to us, but we will
collect the information listed below under Personal Information
Collected Via Technology.
Use of information Any
visitor of the MyBizZone website can view your profile information
and photos that you have uploaded to the MyBizZone community. You
can control what part of your profile information and photos is
visible to visitors of the MyBizZone website and which network of
MyBizZone members can see what information. To provide you with
some of the features that the MyBizZone community offers to its
members, we may use Personal Information that is stored in your
profile after you have requested such features, for example to send
invitation e-mails to people that you specified as being interested
in joining the MyBizZone community. In order to provide useful
information about social networks to people who might be interested
in joining the MyBizZone community, we may use your profile
information and photos on the MyBizZone website and when we send
emails, for example when we send birthday reminders to MyBizZone
members or when we send general newsletters to members of the
MyBizZone community. When you decide to view a member's profile, we
may show that MyBizZone member that you chose to view their profile.
If you don't want us to show to other MyBizZone members that you
viewed their profile, you can change this in your privacy
settings. If you decide to use certain features of the MyBizZone
network (like journals, testimonials, groups, message boards and the
like), some of the Personal Information you entered into your
MyBizZone profile and any information, including Personal
Information, that you enter using one of these features, might be
used and displayed. MyBizZone members can use the search feature
to search for other members by different criteria, like location or
gender. The Personal Information that MyBizZone members enter into
the MyBizZone profile will be used for these searches. Please be
aware that any information that is publicly posted throughout the
MyBizZone network can be accessed by every visitor of the
Website. MyBizZone may analyze any collected information for its
own internal purposes. In addition, MyBizZone may remove personally
identifying information from collected information to render it
anonymous. MyBizZone may use Anonymous Information for any purpose
and disclose Anonymous Information in its
discretion.
Information Sharing and
Disclosure MyBizZone does not rent, sell, or share personal
information about you with other people or nonaffiliated companies
except to provide products or services you've requested, when we
have your permission, or as otherwise described in this privacy
policy.
We provide your Personal Information to third party
service providers who work on behalf of or with MyBizZone under
confidentiality agreements to provide some of the services and
features of the MyBizZone community and to help us communicate with
MyBizZone members. These service providers may use your personal
information to help MyBizZone communicate with you about offers from
MyBizZone and our marketing partners. However, these service
providers do not have any independent right to share this
information.
If you decide to use one of the additional
services that are offered by our partners, such as the e-mail finder
service or the electronic fax, we may forward Personal Information
to these partners to enable them to provide the services that you
requested. We also provide information to third-party advertising
companies, as described in the next section. Please be aware that
the handling of your Personal Information by our partners or the
third-party advertising companies is governed by their privacy
policy, not ours.
If you would like to know (1) the
categories of Personal Information about you that we disclosed in
the prior calendar year to third parties for the purposes of the
third parties? marketing and/or (2) the names and addresses of such
third parties, please contact us.
We will disclose
information in response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal
process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend
against legal claims. We may disclose information, if we believe it
is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding
suspected illegal activities or fraud, situations involving the
physical safety of any person, violations of MyBizZone's terms of
use, or as otherwise required by applicable law.
If our
company or our assets are acquired by another company, that company
will possess the Personal Information collected by us and it will
assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personal
Information as described in this Privacy Policy.
Third
Party Advertising We use third-party advertising companies to
serve advertisements when you visit our Website. These companies may
use Personal Information, such as gender or age, and other
information (not including your name, address, email address or
telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites, such
as time of day of the login, IP address or information about the
internet service provider (ISP), in order to provide advertisements
on the Website about goods and services that may be of interest to
you.
Personal Information Collected Via
Technology As you navigate the Website, certain information
may also be passively collected and stored on our server logs,
including your Internet protocol address, browser type, and
operating system. We also use Cookies and navigational data like
Uniform Resource Locators (URL) to gather information regarding the
date and time of your visit and the solutions and information for
which you searched and viewed, or on which of the advertisements
displayed on the Website you clicked. This type of information is
collected to make our services and solutions more useful to you and
to tailor the MyBizZone community experience to meet your special
interests and needs. If you search the MyBizZone community by
using a toolbar that MyBizZone, or a third party provides, we may
collect Anonymous Information about you automatically, but we will
not collect Personal Information.
An "Internet protocol
address" or "IP Address" is a number that is automatically assigned
to your computer when you use the Internet. In some cases your IP
Address stays the same from browser session to browser session; but
if you use a consumer internet access provider, your IP Address
probably varies from session to session. We track your IP Address
when you login to the Website.
"Cookies" are small pieces of
information that a web site sends to your computer?s hard drive
while you are viewing a web site. MyBizZone may use both session
Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and
persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete
them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience
on the Website. Persistent Cookies can be removed by following your
Internet browser help file directions. If you choose to disable
Cookies, some areas of the Website may not work properly. Other
third parties may place advertisements and cookies on webpages
within the MyBizZone network. Other companies' use of their cookies
is subject to their own privacy policies, not this
one.
Your Ability to Edit and Delete Your Account
Information and Preferences We reserve the right to send you
certain communications relating to the MyBizZone service, such as
service announcements, administrative messages and the MyBizZone
Newsletter, that are considered part of your MyBizZone account. If
you would like to opt out of certain messages, log into MyBizZone
and go to your account settings by clicking the account link in the
top right hand corner. On that page you can edit your preferences.
If you would like to delete your account, log into MyBizZone, go to
your account settings page by clicking the account link in the top
right hand corner. On that page, right below the email address field
you will see a link to cancel your
account.
Confidentiality and Security We limit
access to personal information about you to employees and third
parties who we reasonably believe need access to that information to
provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs.
We have physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to
protect personal information about you and your MyBizZone account
information is protected by a password that you select. MyBizZone
uses industry-standard SSL encryption in certain areas of the
Website to protect data transmissions. However, no company,
including MyBizZone, can fully eliminate security risks associated
with Personal Information.

provision of a link to any other website or location is for your
convenience and does not signify our endorsement of such other
website or location or its contents. We have no control over, do not
review, and cannot be responsible for these outside websites or
their content. Please be aware that the terms of our Privacy Policy
does not apply to these outside websites.

about visitors who are under the age of 13.
