ClickFuze

ClickFuze.com is owned by Fuze Ventures, LLC, an independently owned entity. The following statement describes the overall company practices of ClickFuze.com, including advertising on our network of websites, as well as across other our other sites, and products and services that are offered by ClickFuze.com. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that ClickFuze.com does not own or control, or to people that ClickFuze.com does not employ.

Non-Personally Identifiable Consumer Data
ClickFuze.com delivers advertisements across multiple channels, verticals and media, including to web surfers who visit one of the fastest growing online advertising network in the industry. Regarding individuals who visit those sites, we, and/or one or more of our third party vendors, may collect what is known as "Click Stream Data." Click Stream Data is anonymous, and includes information such as a web surfer's IP address, web pages which have been viewed by a web surfer, date and time, domain type, and responses by a web surfer to an advertisement delivered by us or our third party advertising technology vendor. We, and/or a third party advertising vendor, may use different types of technologies to collect this type of information, including cookies and web beacons (1x1 pixels).

INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
ClickFuze.com from time to time may collects information from our website users, subscribers and other customers. In this section of our Privacy Statement, we describe the type of information we collect and how we use it to provide better services to our customers.

Registration and Ordering
Many of our products and services are free to subscribers. For our services that require payment (such as certain events, products and subscriptions), we also collect credit card information (such as account name, number and expiration date), which is used for our or our agent's billing purposes only, and is not otherwise shared.

E-mail Newsletters
If users wish to subscribe to our e-mail newsletters, we may ask for contact information (such as name, e-mail address and, occasionally, demographic information). We use this information in the same manner as we use contact information in the registration and ordering process described above. Recipients of our newsletters can unsubscribe using the instructions listed at the end of the e-mail newsletter.

Surveys and Contests
From time to time we invite web site users and other customers to provide information via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the website user or other customer therefore has a choice whether to disclose requested contact information (such as name and mailing address) and demographic information (such as zip code or job title). In addition to the other uses set forth in this policy, contact information collected in connection with surveys and contests is used to notify the winners and award prizes and to monitor or improve the use of, and satisfaction with the website or other ClickFuze.com product or service. Such information also may be shared with third party sponsors of such surveys or contests.

Interactive Features
At some of our sites, we offer interactive and community features such as discussion boards, web casts and directory / user profiles. Note that all personal information sent or posted via such features becomes public information for which we are not responsible.

Communications with Us
We have features where our customers can submit information to us (such as our feedback forms / contact us emails). Where such submissions may include requests for service, support or information, we may forward them to our agents, as needed, to best respond to the specific request. In addition, we may retain e-mails and other information sent to us for our internal administrative purposes, and to help us to serve customers better.

Automatic Data Collection
Our web sites, upcoming newsletters and, from time to time, certain other products and services have features that automatically collect information from customers, to deliver content specific to customer’s interests and to honor their preferences. This information assists us in creating products and services that will serve the needs of our customers.

For example, we use "cookies," a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Cookies benefit the user by requiring login only once, thereby saving time while on our web site. If users reject the cookies, they may be limited in the use of some areas of our web site. Additionally, we may note some of the pages the user visits on our web sites and via our email newsletters through the use of pixel tags (also called clear gifs) and web beacons. The use of cookies, pixels and web beacons enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our sites.

In addition, some of our business affiliates use cookies on our web sites and in ads or co-bundled offerings. However, we have no access to or control over these business affiliates' cookies; we urge users to read their privacy policies for information. In particular, we use a third-party advertising company to serve ads when you visit certain ClickFuze.com web sites. Such company may use information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visit to these web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you. In the course of serving advertisements to these web sites, our third party advertiser may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser.

For our internal purposes, we gather date, time, browser type, navigation history and IP address of all visitors to our web sites. This information does not contain anything that can identify users personally. We use this information for our internal security audit log, trend analysis and system administration, and to gather broad demographic information about our user base for aggregate use.

We may combine demographic information supplied by a customer at registration with web site usage data to provide general profiles, in aggregate non-personally identifiable form, about our customers and their preferences in the content of the site and advertising. We may share this composite information with our advertisers and business affiliates to help them better understand our services.

WITH WHOM YOUR INFORMATION IS SHARED
When we have co-branded, customized, private label, "powered by" or sponsored products and services, or when we join with other parties to provide specific services (however, we do not share credit card information with such third parties), then, subject to the given customers preferences, we may share (provide and receive) personal information with such third party.

Finally, on occasion, we may provide targeted lists of names and offline and online contact information for marketing purposes to third parties, as described below, pursuant to which we give customers the option of not having their name or contact information disclosed to third parties.

Other than as set forth above, we do not share personally identifiable information with other companies, apart from those acting as our agents in providing our product (s) / service (s), and which agree to use it only for that purpose and to keep the information secure and confidential. Also, our parent, subsidiary and affiliate companies, entities into which our company may be merged, or entities to which any of our assets, products, sites or operations may be transferred, will be able to use personal information. We will also disclose information we maintain when required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena or other legal obligation, in response to a law enforcement agency's request, or in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property. Users should also be aware that courts of equity, such as U.S. Bankruptcy Courts, might have the authority under certain circumstances to permit personal information to be shared or transferred to third parties without permission.

We may share aggregate information, which is not personally identifiable, with others. This information may include usage and demographic data, but it will not include personal information.

SECURITY
We use reasonable precautions to protect our customers' personal information and to store it securely. Sensitive information that is transmitted to us online (such as credit card number) is encrypted and is transmitted to us securely. In addition, access to all of our customers' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, a billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Finally, the servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

LINKS
Our web sites contain links to other sites. ClickFuze.com is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each web site to which we may link that may collect personally identifiable information.

NOTIFICATION and CHANGES
If we change our Privacy Statement, we will post those changes on this page so our users are aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under which circumstances, if any, we disclose it. Users should check this policy frequently to keep abreast of any changes.

For questions about this Privacy Policy please feel free to contact us.
