Links.WS (LINKS)
has adopted a set of information management
guidelines which serve as the basis for our
customer and advertiser relationships. These
guidelines have been developed with the
recognition that Internet technologies are
rapidly evolving, and that underlying business
models are still not established. Accordingly,
guidelines are subject to change. Any such
changes will be posted on this page.
1. What
information does Links.WS gather/track about
you?
LINKS requires
that customers and affiliates supply personal
information, including e-mail address, during a
"registration" process prior to using
some portions of the site and to make a
purchase. (Some of the personal information we
request is voluntary; the word "not
required" appears next to these questions.)
On occasion, LINKS also collects additional
personal information from subscribers in
optional contest and survey forms. Demographic
information provided by a subscriber may be
combined with site usage reports to profile, in
aggregate form, users and their preferences in
site content and advertising.
LINKS also logs
IP addresses, or the location of your computer
on the Internet, for systems administration and
troubleshooting purposes. We also log IP
addresses to track a user's session, but do not
link IP addresses to anything personally
identifiable. This information is simply part of
our web statistics program, which we use to
determine generalized interest in different
sections of our site.
2. What does Links.WS
do with the information it gathers/tracks?
LINKS may perform
statistical analyses of user behavior in order
to measure relative consumer interest in the
various areas of our site (for service
development purposes) and to inform advertisers
as to how many consumers have seen their
advertising banners. In performance of these
statistical analyses, we will disclose
information to third parties only in aggregate
form. Personal information on individual
subscribers will not be provided to any third
party.
Using the e-mail
addresses provided at registration, LINKS
periodically sends promotional e-mail to its
subscribers about new products or promotions
offered by LINKS and its advertisers. A user can
indicate on the subscriber registration form
that he or she does not wish to receive e-mail
information from LINKS or its advertisers. LINKS
may also contact a subscriber regarding account
status or changes to the subscriber agreement.
3. With whom
does Links.WS share the information it
gathers/tracks?
LINKS shares the
information it tracks, in aggregate form, with
advertisers and other partners. We do not sell
or share email addresses with third parties or
advertisers. LINKS will provide a
subscriber a summary of his or her personal
information provided at registration upon
request. This information will only be sent to
the e-mail address on file for the subscriber
name associated with it.
Upon request, LINKS
will remove any subscriber or customer (and his
or her personal information) from our database,
or allow any subscriber to "opt out"
of further contact (while still allowing access
to the site) or change/correct personal
information that the subscriber states is
erroneous. To obtain an information summary or
request a change of information, send e-mail to Customer
Service.
LINKS is not
responsible for the content or the privacy
policies of Web sites to which it may link.
