PERMISSION DATA PRIVACY POLICY



Permission Data has created this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to describe and explain to you, the user of this website (“you”), how your Registration Information (defined below) will be used by us. . As part of our business, we collect and, in some instances, may disclose information about you - but only as set forth in this Privacy Policy. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our personal information collection and use practices and the choices you can make concerning the use of your personal information. This Privacy Policy also applies to individuals that have agreed to receive e-mail marketing from Free-Gift-Club.com or one of our advertising partners, whether at the Website, via e-mail, on third-party websites or otherwise.

Information Collected

For each visitor to the Website, our servers automatically recognize only the visitor’s domain name, but not the e-mail address (unless requested and supplied by the visitor as a part of registration in connection with a program offered or made available on the Website).

You must register to become a member at a Permission Data owned publication in order to qualify to receive the products and services available through our Website. In order to register, you must supply accurate and up to date personal information as indicated on the registration form (for example, full name, street address, telephone number and e-mail address) (the “Registration Information”). Certain information, such as your e-mail address, is collected, among other purposes as set forth in this Privacy Policy, in order to verify your identity in the future within our database.

We may also collect other information such as your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring third party website addresses. This information is used for the operation of our Website, to maintain the quality of our offerings, and to provide general aggregate statistics regarding the use of the Website. Such information is not personally identifiable.
When you obtain any product or service directly from the Website, we collect certain financial information, such as your credit card number, credit card expiration date and billing address. Financial Information that you disclose to us is used to confirm your age and to bill you for shipping our products and services. This information is disclosed only as set forth below.
In addition, we may receive personal information about you from outside sources and add it to your existing Registration Information on file at the Website. We do this to improve personalization of our services (for example, providing better newsletter content, advertising and/or special offers that we think may be of interest you).

We also collect information such as the identification of the server that your computer is logged onto and whether you opened an e-mail message delivered to you from the Website. We also may compare our member list to various lists received from other third party companies, in an effort to avoid sending identical or similar e-mail messages to our members.

Information Collection Processes

In addition to the information collected by us and Registration Information submitted by you, we may employ "cookies" to help customize your access to the Website. A “cookie” is a small data file that a website can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer to help our Website “remember” information about you to make it easier and more efficient for you to use our Website. Cookies have many benefits to enhance your experience at our Website. For instance, by setting a cookie on our Website, a member would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our Website. Our Website employs session cookies. A session cookie does not remain on your computer after you close your web browser window. Our session cookies contain none of your personal information and cannot be used to track you around the internet. Our session cookies can only be used by this Website and they only exist for the duration of your visit. Depending on the settings in your browser, you may have the option to deny the session cookie; however, doing so may negatively impact upon the performance of the Website or restrict your ability to use the Website.

We occasionally use cookies to anonymously track and target the interests of our members to further enhance the experience on our Website or for advertising tracking purposes. To find out more about cookies, please visit www.cookiecentral.com.

In addition to cookies, our Website pages and/or e-mails may contain electronic images known as “pixel tags” (also knows as clear gifs) to track the pages that visitors and/or members visit at the Website for purposes of formatting future campaigns and upgrading visitor information used in reporting statistics. Our Website may also contain pixel tags placed there by third parties to help determine the effectiveness of a joint promotional or advertising campaign.

The “help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.

Our Use of Your Information

The personal information that you submit to us remains your property, but by submitting that personal information to us, you grant to us the right to use that information for marketing purposes, including sharing such information with third parties. For example, when you select to receive information about offerings from a third party company during the registration process, we will share your personal information with that third party company to carry out your information request. We will use your personal information to fulfill orders for products and services purchased by you from the Website. We may also use such information to directly market certain offers to you (via e-mail, direct mail and/or telemarketing), to monitor compliance with our Terms and Conditions and for content improvement and feedback purposes. We may sell the personal information that you supply to us and we may join together with other businesses to bring selected retail opportunities to our members. These businesses may include, but are not limited to: (a) providers of direct marketing services and applications, including lookup and reference, data enhancement, suppression and validation; (b) e-mail marketers; and (c) telemarketers.

In addition, we reserve the right to release current or past member information in the event that we believe that a membership is being or has been used in violation of the Terms and Conditions or to commit unlawful acts, if the information is subpoenaed, if we are acquired, or when we deem it necessary or appropriate. By agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy, you hereby consent to disclosure of any record or communication to any third party when we, in our sole discretion, determine the disclosure to be appropriate including, without limitation, sharing your e-mail address with other third-parties for suppression purposes in compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, as amended from time to time and Federal Trade Commission enabling regulations.

To the extent that customer credit card-specific information is collected by us in connection with a purchase you make from the Website, said information will be kept in confidence and will not be shared with any third parties (other than consumer credit agencies and in connection with processing of your order) without your prior informed consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right to share with third parties the fact that we have credit card information on file for specific customers but we will not share the specific credit card information with third parties without your prior informed consent.

You also agree that we, and other third parties, may contact you via e-mail, direct mail and telemarketing for feedback purposes and surveys. In addition, we may send you e-mail regarding general and administrative information about your membership.

In addition, by registering at the Website, you agree that such act constitutes an inquiry and/or application for purposes of the Amended Telemarketing Sales Rule (16 CFR §310 et seq.), as amended from time to time (the “Rule”). Notwithstanding that your telephone number may be listed at the Federal Trade Commission’s Do-Not-Call List, we retain the right to contact you via telemarketing in accordance with the Rule.

We may also employ other companies and individuals to perform certain functions on our behalf. Examples include sending direct and electronic mail, removing duplicate information from customer lists, analyzing data, and providing marketing analysis. These agents have access to our members’ personal information as needed to perform their functions for us, but we do not permit them to use our members’ personal information for other purposes.

Security

The Website has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of personal information under our control.

Please be advised that although we take every reasonable technological precaution available to protect your data, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot and do not warrant that your information will be absolutely secure. Any transmission of data at or through our Website is at your own risk. However, access to your information is strictly limited, and not accessible to the public. Our employees are dedicated to ensuring the security and privacy of all user information.
