| What
information is collected by beadsnclasps and how is this information
used? We
automatically collect and store the following information
about you: the name of the domain from which you access the
Internet; the date and time you access one of our sites; and
the Internet address of the website from which you linked
directly to our site. We use this information to measure the
number of visitors to our site, to better develop the Network
sites to address our users' preferences and to attract new
users, and, in some instances, to properly credit third-parties
who refer users to our site.
In
addition to the information we automatically collect any time
a user visits our site, we also ask users to voluntarily provide
certain information so that users can take full advantage
of the services and features offered at our site. Users of
our site are often able to enter contests, sign up to receive
electronic newsletters, greetings and other emails or content
(such as weekly jokes), become members, play games, and participate
in chat rooms. To provide these services to our users, we
generally request that the user provide no more than a name
and an email address. We do not require any of our users to
disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to
participate in an activity as a condition of participation.
We use the information collected to distribute the requested
newsletter or other content, to notify contest winners, to
enable password protected access to certain services and sections
within our site, and to provide whatever other service the
user has authorized in providing the contact information.
To
make a purchase at our site, users are asked to provide their
name, email address, mailing address, credit card number and
credit card expiration date. Once entered, this information
is usually saved by the site. When you choose to make future
purchases through our site, this information automatically
appears in the appropriate spaces on the web page within the
site for placing orders.
Finally,
beadsnclasps may occasionally poll users and request background
information from users such as address, age range, gender,
occupation, interests, hobbies, etc. The provision of any
such information is always voluntary and never unnecessarily
a condition of access or use. The information collected in
user polls is solely for the internal purpose of letting beadsnclasps know who its users are and what they like in order to
be better able to serve them. User poll information is only
maintained and released by beadsnclasps, if at all, in aggregate
statistical fashion and never in any manner that would allow
for personal identification of a particular user.
