Privacy Policy
This site is owned
and operated by Pro eBusiness™. Your privacy on the
Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At
Pro eBusiness™, we want to make your experience online
satisfying and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about
our users, we feel you should fully understand the
terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use
of that information. This privacy statement discloses
what information we gather and how we use it.
Definition of the Information Pro eBusiness™ gathers
and keeps track of.
Pro eBusiness™ gathers two types of information
about users:
-Information that users provide through optional,
voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions
to receive our electronic newsletters, to participate
in our message boards or forums, to email a friend,
and from participation in polls and surveys:
-Information Pro eBusiness™ gathers through
aggregated tracking information derived mainly by
tallying page views throughout our sites. This
information allows us to better tailor our content to
readers' needs and to help our advertisers and
sponsors better understand the demographics of our
audience. Because Pro eBusiness™ derives its revenue
mainly from sponsorships and advertising, providing
such aggregated demographic data is essential to
keeping our service free to users. Under no
circumstances does Pro eBusiness™ divulge any
information about an individual user to a third party.
Pro eBusiness™ Gathers User Information In The
Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which require
some type of voluntary submission of personal
information by users:
1. Electronic newsletters (Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users.
Pro eBusiness™ gathers the email addresses of users
who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves
from this mailing list by following the link provided
in every newsletter that points users to the
subscription management page. Users can also subscribe
to the newsletters at the time of registration.
2. Message boards/forums
Users of the site's Message Boards and Forums must
register separately for these services (both are free
of charge) in order to post messages, although they
needn't register to visit the site. During
registration the user is required to supply a
username, password, and email address.
3. "E-mail this to a friend" Service
Our site users can choose to electronically forward a
link, page, or documents to someone else by clicking
"e-mail this to a friend". The user must provide their
email address, as well as that of the recipient. This
information is used only in the case of transmission
errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who
sent the email. The information is not used for any
other purpose.
4. Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users so they can
easily share their opinions with other users and see
what our audience thinks about important issues.
Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated
and are not identifiable to any particular user.
Pro eBusiness™ may use a system to "tag" users after they
have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular
question. This tag is not correlated with information
about individual users.
5. Surveys
Pro eBusiness™ may occasionally conduct user surveys
to better target our content to our audience. We
sometimes share the aggregated demographic information
in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and
partners. We never share any of this information about
specific individuals with any third party.
CHILDREN
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never
knowingly request personally identifiable information
from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting
parental consent.
USAGE TRACKING
Pro eBusiness™ tracks user traffic patterns
throughout all of our sites. However, we do not
correlate this information with data about individual
users. Pro eBusiness™ does break down overall usage
statistics according to a user's domain name, browser
type, and MIME type by reading this information from
the browser string (information contained in every
user's browser).
Pro eBusiness™ sometimes tracks and catalogs the
search terms that users enter in our Search function,
but this tracking is never associated with individual
users. We use tracking information to determine which
areas of our sites users like and don't like based on
traffic to those areas. We do not track what
individual users read, but rather how well each page
performs overall. This helps us continue to build a
better service for you.
COOKIES
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the
browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does
not contain Personal Information although it will
enable us to relate your use of this site to
information that you have specifically and knowingly
provided. But the only personal information a cookie
can contain is information you supply yourself. A
cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read
cookie files created by other sites. Pro
eBusiness™
uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as
described above). Our advertising system delivers a
one-time cookie to better track ad impressions and
click rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your
browser. If you've set your browser to warn you before
accepting cookies, you will receive the warning
message with each cookie. You do not need to have
cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do
need cookies to participate actively in message
boards, forums, polling and surveys.
USE OF INFORMATION
Pro eBusiness™ uses any information voluntarily given
by our users to enhance their experience in our
network of sites, whether to provide interactive or
personalized elements on the sites or to better
prepare future content based on the interests of our
users.
As stated above, we use information that users
voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic
newsletters and to enable users to participate in
polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. We send
out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule
(depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send
out special editions when we think subscribers might
be particularly interested in something we are doing.
Pro eBusiness™ never shares newsletter mailing lists
with any third parties, including advertisers,
sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which
areas of our sites users like and don't like based on
traffic to those areas. We do not track what
individual users read, but rather how well each page
performs overall. This helps us continue to build a
better service for you. We track search terms entered
in Search function as one of many measures of what
interests our users. But we don't track which terms a
particular user enters.
Pro eBusiness™ creates aggregate reports on user
demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers,
sponsors and partners. This allows our advertisers to
advertise more effectively, and allows our users to
receive advertisements that are pertinent to their
needs. Because we don't track the usage patterns of
individual users, an advertiser or sponsor will never
know that a specific user clicked their ad. We will
not disclose any information about any individual user
except to comply with applicable law or valid legal
process or to protect the personal safety of our users
or the public.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
Pro eBusiness™ uses the above-described information
to tailor our content to suit your needs and help our
advertisers better understand our audience's
demographics. This is essential to keeping our service
free. We will not share information about individual
users with any third party, except to comply with
applicable law or valid legal process or to protect
the personal safety of our users or the public.
SECURITY
Pro eBusiness™ operates secure data networks
protected by industry standard firewall and password
protection systems. Our security and privacy policies
are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary
and only authorized individuals have access to the
information provided by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and
practical. Such choices include:
· Opting not to register to receive our electronic
newsletters.
· Opting not to participate in certain interactive
areas, which completely alleviates the need to gather
any personally identifiable information from our users
YOUR CONSENT
By using this site, you consent to the collection and
use of this information by Pro eBusiness™. If we
decide to change our privacy policy, we will post
those changes on this page so that you are always
aware of what information we collect, how we use it,
and under what circumstances we disclose it.
