As part of the operation of iCommunicationz.com, certain pieces of information are gathered about iCommunicationz Members. Below are explanations regarding the types of information collected, what is done with it, and how to correct or change the information.
What Information is Collected?
As part of the iCommunicationz Member registration process, the prospective member is asked to provide an email address and interest category selections. The prospective member, at their option, may voluntarily provide additional information, including personal, geographic and demographic information. In addition to the information provided by members, iCommunicationz may also collect information about iCommunicationz Members from third party sources. Furthermore, iCommunicationz monitors incoming and outgoing Web site traffic data to help diagnose problems with its servers and to administer its Web site. iCommunicationz also uses this data to assemble broad demographic information about its members in general. The purpose of this data collection is to ensure that iCommunicationz Members receive only the most relevant, targeted offers and information from iCommunicationz.com.
iCommunicationz uses "contact us" forms as a way for clients, potential clients and members to communicate with iCommunicationz.com. iCommunicationz collects the information supplied by the sender of the "contact us" form in order to establish and maintain relationships with clients, potential clients and members. iCommunicationz also uses email links located on various pages of the iCommunicationz Web site to allow you to contact iCommunicationz with questions or comments you may have. iCommunicationz welcomes these email communications and makes efforts to respond to these communications where appropriate. Email communications and the ideas sent to iCommunicationz in these email communications become the property of iCommunicationz.com. iCommunicationz uses the email communications to evaluate and improve its services and Web site. iCommunicationz also may save these email communications for future reference or use.
In an attempt to customize the ICommunicationz service and provide members with the information they may be most interested in, iCommunicationz also conducts internal research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior based upon information members provide directly to iCommunicationz and information that iCommunicationz may collect from third party sources and/or through the use of "cookies" (see below). iCommunicationz may combine or otherwise overlay some or all of the foregoing information to build profiles about iCommunicationz Members, which may be individual specific or in aggregate form. By becoming an iCommunicationz Member, you consent to iCommunicationz employing the foregoing techniques in its continuing efforts to better serve its members by providing them with the information in which they may be most interested. iCommunicationz does not use information about its members for any purposes unrelated to the services offered by iCommunicationz.com.
As discussed above, iCommunicationz may, from time to time, obtain information about its members from third party sources. In addition, iCommunicationz may, from time to time, assist third parties in developing, implementing and monitoring advertising campaigns using data owned or supplied by the third party. Please be aware that this Privacy Policy does not cover the conduct or practices of these third party sources. However, iCommunicationz will treat information that it receives from third party sources according to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
The Use of Cookies
As an important and necessary part of providing customizable and personalized services to its members, iCommunicationz uses cookies to store and sometimes track information about members. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to a member's browser from a Web server and stored on a member's computer hard drive. Areas of iCommunicationz.com's Web site where members are prompted to login or that are customizable require acceptance of cookies. Cookies are also used to help iCommunicationz track the response to messages sent to members on behalf of marketers so that iCommunicationz can monitor and report campaign results to the marketer and track response history. With respect to cookies, you have a choice. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies, you will be unable to use those ICommunicationz services that require the use of cookies in order to participate.
Children's Online Privacy Protection
The safety of children is important to us. iCommunicationz.com's Web site is a general audience site and is not directed to children under the age of 13. Similarly, iCommunicationz.com's services are not directed to nor intended for anyone under the age of 13. iCommunicationz will not knowingly accept members who are under the age of 13 years nor will it knowingly collect or maintain personally identifiable information from or about anyone under the age of 13 years. Accordingly, when registering to become an iCommunicationz Member, the new member must certify that they are not under the age of 13. iCommunicationz relies on the truthfulness of this certification when accepting new members. In the event that iCommunicationz eceives information that establishes that a member is under the age of 13 years, iCommunicationzr eserves the right, which it will exercise, to terminate that member's membership. iCommunicationz will also delete all information in its databases about that terminated member. If you believe iCommunicationz has any information from or about anyone under 13, please contact us at the address listed below.

Confidentiality
iCommunicationzwill not provide personally identifiable information of an iCommunicationz Member to third parties except as noted under "Limits of Confidentiality." Personally identifiable information means the member's name, residence address, email address, social security number or other information from which the member's identity may be reasonably ascertained. iCommunicationzuses proprietary technologies to preserve the anonymity of members while matching the member's interests with targeted information sent via email. iCommunicationzwill under no circumstance knowingly reveal any member's identity to marketers. It is solely at an iCommunicationz Member's discretion if he or she chooses to provide personally identifiable information to a marketer by making a purchase, requesting additional information, or communicating directly with the company or organization after visiting its Web site or otherwise.
Limits of Confidentiality
As part of its day-to-day business activities, iCommunicationz must disclose certain aggregate level information about iCommunicationz Members to certain third parties; principally, (1) iCommunicationz's Network Partners, and (2) Marketers who use iCommunicationz.com's network. Below is the information and circumstances under which iCommunicationz may be required to disclose information to third parties.
(1) Network Partners: When an iCommunicationz Member registers through the Web site of a Network Partner, iCommunicationz is obligated to disclose to that particular Network Partner the information submitted by the iCommunicationz Member during the registration process. In addition to the foregoing information, iCommunicationz may also disclose aggregate level information to the Network Partner about iCommunicationz Members who registered through that particular Network Partner's site.
Such aggregate information may include, for example, the number of individuals who registered through the Network Partner's site; the turnover rate of iCommunicationz Members who have registered through the Network Partner's site; with respect to any particular campaign, the response rates of the iCommunicationz Members who registered through the Network Partner's site; and statistics on the interest categories selected by the ICommunicationz Members who have registered through the Network Partner's site. Subject to the exceptions discussed below, iCommunicationz will not knowingly disclose any personally identifiable information about an iCommunicationz Member to a Network Partner unless such personally identifiable information was provided during the registration process through the Network Partner's Web site.
(2) Marketers: iCommunicationz will disclose aggregate level information about iCommunicationz Members to marketers as reasonably necessary to explain the services that iCommunicationz can offer, to report on the advertising campaigns that iCommunicationz undertakes for any particular marketer, and/or to implement and explain campaign strategies. Subject to the exceptions discussed below, iCommunicationz will not knowingly disclose any personally identifiable information about an iCommunicationz Member to a marketer.
Due to the existing legal, regulatory and security environment, iCommunicationz may be required, under certain circumstances, to disclose aggregate level and/or personally identifiable information about its members. iCommunicationz will use its best efforts to limit such disclosure to the following: where iCommunicationz believes in good faith that it is required to do so in response to a subpoena or other legal process; where reasonably required to do so in order to maintain, update or otherwise implement iCommunicationz.com's data security measures, equipment, technical operations and the like; or where reasonably necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against persons or entities to preserve and/or enforce iCommunicationz.com's rights.
Use of Information
iCommunicationz uses member information to deliver the iCommunicationz services. Thus, member information is used by iCommunicationz in identifying information that may be of interest to its members. A member's email address will be used by iCommunicationz to contact that member about member-selected interests. iCommunicationz also uses member information to monitor, interpret, analyze and report campaign results. iCommunicationz does not use member information for purposes unrelated to the services offered by iCommunicationz.com.
Protection of Member Information
iCommunicationz undertakes substantial efforts to protect the confidentiality of the identity, preferences and other information it has collected about individual members and will never knowingly allow access to this information to anyone outside iCommunicationz other than to the member or as described above under the heading Limits of Confidentiality.
You should also do your part in protecting your information. Your iCommunicationz user name and password are confidential and we recommend that you not divulge them to anyone. Unfortunately, neither iCommunicationz network nor data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect member information, iCommunicationz cannot ensure or warrant the security of member information. Thus, any information a member transmits to us is done so at the member's own risk. Once we receive member information, iCommunicationz undertakes substantial efforts to protect the confidentiality of this information consistent with this Policy.
Modifying Member Information or Terminating Membership If a member terminates their membership, the past member will no longer receive any communications from iCommunicationz.com. iCommunicationz will not sell, rent, or otherwise use the information about former members.
Policy Changes
The foregoing policy is effective as of February 2001. iCommunicationz reserves the right to change this policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of iCommunicationz.com's services following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes. iCommunicationz will take reasonable measures to notify you if there is a material change in our privacy practices with respect to use of the information you have provided to iCommunicationz.com. iCommunicationz will conspicuously post these changes in our Privacy Policy. iCommunicationz also will post a message on the home page of its Web site that states that the Privacy Policy has been changed, and will provide a link to the Privacy Policy.
