1st-Card.com is strongly committed to protecting
the privacy of users of its interactive products and services. Throughout
cyberspace, we want to contribute to providing a safe and secure
environment for users.
The purpose of this 1st-Card.com privacy policy is to inform
you, as a welcome visitor to 1st-Card.com, what kinds of
information we may gather about you when you visit 1st-Card.com,
how we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone,
and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability
to correct, the information. This privacy policy applies to the
1st-Card.com site.
Information About All 1st-Card.com Users
In general, our site automatically gathers certain usage information
like the numbers and frequency of visitors to 1st-Card.com
and its areas, very much like television ratings that tell the networks
how many people tuned in to a program. We only use such data in
the aggregate. This aggregate data helps us determine how much our
customers use parts of the site, so we can improve our site to assure
that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many of you as
possible. For example, 1st-Card.com uses a technology nicknamed
"cookies" that tells us how and when pages in our site
are visited, and by how many people. These cookies do not collect
personally identifiable information and we do not combine information
collected through these cookies with other personally identifiable
information to tell us who you are or even what your screen name
or e-mail address is. We also may provide statistical "ratings"
information, never information about you personally, to our 1st-Card.com
partners about how our members, collectively, use 1st-Card.com.
We do this so they too can understand how much people use their
areas and our site in order for them to provide you with the best
possible Web experience as well. Finally, 1st-Card.com, its
advertisers and ad servers may also use cookies, as well as small
pieces of code called "web beacons" or "clear gifs,"
to determine on an anonymous basis which advertisements and promotions
users have seen and how users responded to them, but do not use
these technologies to collect personally identifiable information
unless you give us permission to do so.
Information About You
If you are an 1st-Card.com member, when you access 1st-Card.com
you may obtain access to features of the 1st-Card.com online
service that contain personal information. Additionally, we may
specifically ask for information about you when you sign up to use
a service, like 1st-Card.com phone services, or when you
order a product. We will need certain information -- such as name,
Internet address or screen name, billing address, credit card number
-- in order to provide that service or product to you. We may also
use that information to let you know of additional products and
services about which you might be interested. You can choose not
to receive such information if you don't want to by letting us know
on the registration screen when you sign up for the product or service.
We may ask you for information about your interests so that both
you and we can take advantage of the interactivity of the online
medium, but you may always choose to respond or not. We also use
cookie technology in order to improve your experience, including
to remember your preferences or customized settings when you use
1st-Card.com and its related services, and to authenticate
your access to your personal information.
Disclosure
We do not use or disclose information about your individual visits
to 1st-Card.com or information that you may give us on 1st-Card.com,
such as your name, address, email address or telephone number, to
any outside companies. 1st-Card.com may share such information
in response to legal process, such as a court order or subpoena,
or in special cases such as a physical threat to you or others.
And, as we mention above, we may share with our Web site partners
aggregated statistical "ratings" information about the
use of 1st-Card.com.
Children on 1st-Card.com
1st-Card.com takes special care to protect the safety and
privacy of young people using our services, and encourages you to
participate in your child's experience in cyberspace. 1st-Card.com
is a general audience site, and we do not knowingly collect information
about children. For parents who are 1st-Card.com members,
1st-Card.com recommends that parents review important safety
tips before your child explores the Internet, and use Parental Controls.
1st-Card.com Privacy Policy Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy for 1st-Card.com,
we will post those changes here so that you will always know what
information we gather, how we might use that information and whether
we will disclose it to anyone.
Questions regarding the above statement should be directed to PayTone
for clarification.
