Updated as
of April 5, 2006. This Privacy Policy discloses the general
privacy practices for the Visions the Womens Expos web sites.
Visions the Womens Expos is committed to respecting your privacy
rights when visiting any Visions the Womens Expos web pages,
such as this one. To protect your Personal Information, Visions
the Womens Expos has created the guidelines outlined below.
Understanding that Internet technologies are rapidly evolving,
any changes to this policy will be promptly posted on this
page, with an updated "effective date" posted at
the end of this policy. Information Collected: While visiting
any of the Visions the Womens Expos web pages, we may ask you
to register and/or provide information that personally identifies
you ("Personal Information") for purposes of interacting
with the Site. Such Personal Information may include, but is
not limited to, your name, phone number, street address, and
e-mail address. On any page that collects Personal Information,
we will specifically describe what information is required
in order to provide you with the product or service, enter
you in the promotion you have requested, or respond to your
inquiry or comment. What are Cookies? A cookie is a small data
text file that a web site sends to your browser, which is stored
on your system. The Site can only access the information from
a cookie sent by the Site. We cannot access cookies sent by
other web sites or the information contained therein. Additionally,
we cannot learn your e-mail address or any other information
about you through the use of a cookie. The only way we would
learn such information is if you specifically and voluntarily
submit that information to us, for example, through a registration
system, or by entering a sweepstakes or promotion. Some ads
on the site may contain cookies that are sent by third parties
(e.g. advertising agencies or advertising clients). We do not
have access to these cookies or any information that they contain.
We encourage you to contact the advertiser or its privacy policy
for more information on these cookies. Links from other Web
sites that appear on the Site may also send cookies; but we
do not control such activities. Why does the Site use cookies?
Visions the Womens Expos uses cookies to track usage of the
Site and further personalize your experience when you are visiting
the Site. By tracking usage, we can best determine what features
of the Site best serve the users. What benefits do I receive
from cookies? Overall, the use of cookies helps to give you
a more personalized experience at the Site. The information
is used to keep our Site fresh and relevant to you the user.
Cookies also identify you to our server, allowing you to access
the Site. May I decline to accept a cookie? You may decline
to accept cookies sent by the Site by selecting an option on
your browser to reject cookies. However, portions of the Site
may not be accessible to you. IP Addresses: Visions the Womens
Expos logs IP addresses, or the location of your computer on
the Internet, for systems administration and troubleshooting
purposes and to determine site usage. Your IP address does
not contain personal information about you. Use of Personal
Information We believe in protecting your privacy, and will
not share Personal Information with third parties outside of
Visions the Womens Expos except as described in this Privacy
Policy. We believe we can enhance your experience on our Site
with the information you share with us. Visions the Womens
Expos also may disclose aggregated user statistics in order
to describe our services to potential advertisers, partners,
other third parties, and for other lawful purposes. We have
today, and will in the future have, arrangements with third
party service providers, such as credit card processors and
fulfillment services. When you sign up for a service we offer
on the Site, we may be required to share Personal Information
with that service provider in order to provide the service.
These third party providers are required to comply with this
policy and protect your information in the same way we do.
They are not permitted to retain or use Personal Information
for any purpose unrelated to providing the service. Visions
the Womens Expos may also offer other services as a part of
our Site (e.g., contests, sweepstakes and other promotions
with unaffiliated third parties). Some of these third parties
may also collect their own Personal Information in connection
with providing the contest or promotion. We reserve the right
to disclose Personal Information when needed to comply with
the law or a legal process, cooperate with investigations of
purported unlawful activities, to identify persons violating
the law, or in connection with the sale of part or all of Visions
the Womens Expos. Party Collecting the Information This Privacy
Policy only addresses the use and dissemination of information
that we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose any
information to other parties, whether through, for example,
contests, sweepstakes and other promotions, Visions the Womens
Expos shall not be responsible for the use or dissemination
of such information. The Site may offer forums, message boards,
or chat rooms as one of the services on the Site. If you disclose
personal information in one of these forums, this information
can be viewed, collected, and used by others. Visions the Womens
Expos is not responsible for the use of information you disclose
in these forums. Since Visions the Womens Expos does not control
the privacy policies of third parties, you are subject to the
privacy customs and policies, if any, of such third parties,
and Visions the Womens Expos shall not be responsible for the
use or dissemination of your private information by such parties.
Links to Other Materials Third party sites linked to and from
the Site are not necessarily under the control of Visions the
Womens Expos. Visions the Womens Expos shall have no responsibilities
or liabilities whatsoever for the content or privacy practices
of any such linked site or any link or linking program at any
time. Visions the Womens Expos does not necessarily endorse
companies (or related products or services) to or from which
the Site is linked. If you decide to access any of the third
party sites linked to the Site, you do so entirely at your
own risk. Children's Privacy Visions the Womens Expos cares
about the safety of children and their use of the Internet.
Therefore, in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act of 1998, we will never knowingly request or
solicit personally identifiable information from anyone under
the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent. In the event
that we receive actual knowledge that we have collected such
personal information without the requisite and verifiable parental
consent, we will delete that information from our database
as quickly as is practicable.
