GOOGAMANIA PRIVACY POLICY
The Effective Date of this Privacy Policy is January 1, 2000.
1.GOOGAMANIA’s Commitment to Privacy
GOOGAMANIA.com (“GOOGAMANIA”) extends the following information to assure you (the “User”) that GOOGAMANIA is concerned about and respects Users’ privacy. This statement discloses the information practices for the GOOGAMANIA.com website, including what type of information is collected and how the information is used. To make this policy easy to find, GOOGAMANIA makes a link to it available on all the publicly accessible areas of its website and at each point where personally identifiable information may be requested.
2.The Information GOOGAMANIA Collects
A. Non-Identifiable Information
GOOGAMANIA collects information through technology to make its site more useful to its Users. For instance, when a User comes to GOOGAMANIA’s website, GOOGAMANIA may collect the User’s IP address. An IP address is often associated with the portal through which a User enters the Internet, like the User’s ISP (Internet Service Provider). Standing alone, the User’s IP address is not personally identifiable. At times, GOOGAMANIA may also use IP addresses to collect information regarding the frequency with which GOOGAMANIA’s guests visit various parts of its site.
GOOGAMANIA may also collect anonymous information through the use of “cookies.” A cookie is an element of data that a website can send to a User’s browser, which may then be stored on the User’s system. Some features of the GOOGAMANIA website use cookies to better serve the User when the User returns to the GOOGAMANIA site. The User can set its browser to notify the User before it receives a cookie, giving the User the chance to decide whether to accept it. The User can also set its browser to turn off cookies. If the User does so, however, some areas of the GOOGAMANIA website may not function properly.
B. Personally Identifiable Information
Much of the personally identifiable information GOOGAMANIA receives comes directly from Users who are creating an account with GOOGAMANIA. Typically, this information includes, but is not limited to, visitor’s name, postal address, e-mail address, and telephone number.
C. Payment Information
When a User purchases services from GOOGAMANIA through GOOGAMANIA’s website, the User’s credit card information, or other payment information may be collected to process payment. If a User elects to provide payment for services via recurring payments, the User’s credit card information will be retained in GOOGAMANIA’s secure system.
If a user has completed an online transaction using a credit card, GOOGAMANIA may request the User’s permission to retain the User’s credit card information to simplify future transactions and make communications about past transactions. When credit card or other payment information is retained, it is kept secure (in encrypted form) and separate from other demographic information the User may have given GOOGAMANIA.
3.How User Information is Used
GOOGAMANIA will use the information the User provides to process orders, provide services, and share product and service information with the User. In some cases GOOGAMANIA may use a third party vendor to fulfill a specific request or obligation to a User. On occasion, when a new service GOOGAMANIA believes a particular User may be interested in become available, the User may receive notice of the new service.
The User’s information will not be disclosed to any third party except when GOOGAMANIA deems it necessary to fulfill a specific request or obligation to the User or in order to comply with valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order.
4.GOOGAMANIA’s Commitment to Data Security
The security and confidentiality of the User’s information is extremely important to GOOGAMANIA. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, GOOGAMANIA has put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to safeguard and secure the information GOOGAMANIA collects online. From time to time, GOOGAMANIA reviews its security procedures in order to consider appropriate new technology and methods.
Payment information is stored in an encrypted form in a secured database. GOOGAMANIA uses high grade 128-bit Secure Socket Layers (SSL) encryption to protect the integrity of all payments and credit card transmissions to our servers. GOOGAMANIA makes every effort to prevent unauthorized access to any and all information that Users may submit to GOOGAMANIA’s servers. GOOGAMANIA cannot, however, guarantee that unauthorized access to this information will never occur. In the unlikely event that a breach in site security occurs, GOOGAMANIA will notify the User of the matter directly.
5.Our Commitment to Children’s Privacy
Protecting the privacy of children is especially important. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) applies to the online collection of personal information from children under the age of 13. It is designed to ensure that parents are in control over what information is collected from children under 13. For that reason, GOOGAMANIA never collects information at its website from those it actually knows are under 13.
6.Changes or Updates to Collected Information and Opting Out
The User may change or update the information that the User has provided GOOGAMANIA by contacting GOOGAMANIA at info@GOOGAMANIA.com To protect the User’s privacy and security, GOOGAMANIA will take reasonable steps to verify the User’s identity before changing or updating any information.
The User may also choose to have its name taken off GOOGAMANIA’s correspondence list and, thus, cease to receive correspondence from GOOGAMANIA by contacting GOOGAMANIA through one of the channels listed in the preceding paragraph.
7.Changes to this Privacy Policy
This privacy policy describes the types of information GOOGAMANIA currently collects, and the ways GOOGAMANIA uses and protects that information. From time to time, GOOGAMANIA may collect different types of information and use that information in different ways – for example, when GOOGAMANIA adds to the features or services available through www.GOOGAMANIA.com. In these cases, GOOGAMANIA may edit this policy to explain the new practices. Because protecting the User’s privacy is very important to GOOGAMANIA, GOOGAMANIA does not expect major changes in policy. However, if GOOGAMANIA does make significant changes in its practices, GOOGAMANIA will include announcements on the www.GOOGAMANIA.com home page so that Users will know to review the revised policy.
8.Questions Regarding this Privacy Policy
If the User has questions or concerns about privacy issues related to this website, the User may contact GOOGAMANIA at info@GOOGAMANIA.com
