Your privacy is very important to us. We want to make your experience on the
Internet as enjoyable and rewarding as possible, and we want you to use
the Internet's vast array of information, tools, and opportunities with
complete confidence.
We have created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate
our firm commitment to privacy and security. This Privacy
Policy describes how Websiteonthephone.COM collects information
from all end users of Websiteonthephone.COM's Internet services
(the “Services”)—those who access some of our Services but
do not have accounts (“Visitors”) as well as those who pay
a monthly service fee to subscribe to the Service (“Members”)—what
we do with the information we collect, and the choices Visitors
and Members have concerning the collection and use of such
information. Websiteonthephone.COM requests that you read
this Privacy Policy carefully.
Personal Information Websiteonthephone.COM
Collects and How It Is Used
Introduction. Websiteonthephone.COM collects information
in different ways from Visitors and Members who access the
various parts of our Services and the network of Web sites
accessible through our Service. We use this information primarily
to provide a customized experience as you use our Services
and, generally, do not share this information with third
parties. However, we may disclose personal information collected
if we have received your permission beforehand or in very
special circumstances, such as when we believe that such
disclosure is required by law or other special cases described
below.
Registration.
Members are asked to provide certain personal information
when they sign up for our Services including name, address,
telephone number, billing information (such as a credit card
number), and the type of personal computer being used to
access the Services. The personal information collected from
Members during the registration process is used to manage
each Member's account (such as for billing purposes). This
information is not shared with third parties, unless specifically
stated otherwise or in special circumstances. However, in
instances where Websiteonthephone.COM and a partner jointly
promote the Services, Websiteonthephone.COM may provide the
partner certain personal information, such as the name, address,
and username of persons who subscribed to the Services as
a result of the joint promotion for the sole purpose of allowing
us and the partner to assess the results of the promotion.
In this instance, personal information may not be used by
the partner for any other purpose. Websiteonthephone.COM
may also generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles
from personal information Members provide during registration
(such as the total number, but not the names, of Members).
As explained in more detail below, we may use this aggregated
and non-identifying information to sell advertisements that
appear on the Services.
Websiteonthephone.COM Partners and Sponsors.Some
Websiteonthephone.COM products and services are offered to
Visitors and Members in conjunction with a non-affiliated
partner. For example, we outsource the provision of stock
quotes and operation of your stock portfolio (accessible
through your Personal Start Page) to a third-party vendor.
To provide Visitors and Members some of these products and
services, the partner may need to collect and maintain personal
information. In these instances, you will be notified before
any such data is collected or transferred and may decide
not to use that particular service or feature. Additionally,
many Websiteonthephone.COM Members have co-branded Personal
Start Pages that are cosponsored by nonaffiliated partners.
Websiteonthephone.COM will share non-identifying and aggregate
information (except as described above), but not personal
information, with such partners in order to administer the
co-branded products or services offered.
Online Shopping.
At some Web sites, you can purchase products and
services or register to receive materials, such as a catalog
or new product and service updates. In many cases, you may
be asked to provide contact information, such as your name,
address, email address, phone number, and credit/debit card
information. If you complete an order for someone else, such
as an online gift order sent directly to a recipient, you
may be asked to provide information about the recipient,
such as the recipient's name, address, and phone number.
Websiteonthephone.COM has no control over the third parties'
use of any personal information you provide when placing
such an order. Please exercise care when doing so.
If you order products directly from Websiteonthephone.COM,
such as through the “Websiteonthephone.COM Store,” we will
use the personal information you provide only to process
that order. We do not share this information with outside
parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order.
Online Advertisements.
Websiteonthephone.COM displays our online advertisements.
We share aggregated and non-identifying information about
our Visitors and Members collected through the registration
process as well as through online surveys and promotions
with these advertisers. Additionally, in some instances,
we use this aggregated and non-identifying information to
deliver tailored advertisements. For instance, an advertiser
tells us the audience they want to reach (for example, males
between 25 and 55 years of age) and provides us an advertisement
tailored to the audience. Based upon the aggregated and non-identifying
information we have collected, we may then display the advertisement
to the intended audience. Websiteonthephone.COM does not
share personal information about its Visitors or Members
with these advertisers.
Responses to Email Inquiries.
When Visitors or Members send email inquiries to
Websiteonthephone.COM, the return email address is used to
answer the email inquiry we receive. Websiteonthephone.COM
does not use the return email address for any other purpose
and does not share the return email address with any third
party.
Voluntary Customer Surveys.
We may periodically conduct both business and individual
customer surveys. We encourage our customers to participate
in these surveys because they provide us with important information
that helps us to improve the types of services we offer and
how we provide them to you. Your personal information and
responses will remain strictly confidential, even if the
survey is conducted by a third party. Participation in our
customer surveys is voluntary.
We take the information we receive from
individuals responding to our Customer Surveys and combine
(or aggregate) it with the responses of other Websiteonthephone.COM
customers to create broader, generic responses to the survey
questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education,
employment, industry sector, or other demographic information).
We then use the aggregated information to improve the quality
of our services to you, and to develop new services and products.
This aggregated; non-personally identifying information may
be shared with third parties.
Special Cases.
It is Websiteonthephone.COM's policy not to use
or share the personal information about Visitors of Members
in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also
providing you an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit
such unrelated uses. However, Websiteonthephone.COM may disclose
personal information about Visitors or Members, or information
regarding your use of the Services or Web sites accessible
through our Services, for any reason if, in our sole discretion,
we believe that it is reasonable to do so, including: to
satisfy laws, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy
Act, regulations, or governmental or legal requests for such
information; to disclose information that is necessary to
identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone
who may be violating our Acceptable Use Policy or other user
policies; to operate the Services properly; or to protect
Websiteonthephone.COM and our Members.
"Cookies" and How Websiteonthephone.COM
Uses Them.
A “cookie” is a small data file that can be placed
on your hard drive when you visit certain Web sites. Websiteonthephone.COM
may use cookies to collect, store, and sometimes track information
for statistical purposes to improve the products and services
we provide and to manage our telecommunications networks.
If you are a Member and have created your own Personal Start

customizable and personalized services. These cookies do
not enable third parties to access any of your customer information.
Additionally, be aware that if you visit non-Websiteonthephone.COM
Web sites where you are prompted to log in or that are customizable,
you may be required to accept cookies.
Advertisers and partners may also use their own cookies. We do not control
use of these cookies and expressly disclaim responsibility for information
collected through them.
Websiteonthephone.COM's Commitment
to Children's Privacy.
Protecting children's privacy is especially important
to us. It is our policy to comply with the Children's Online
Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and all other applicable laws.
Finally, Websiteonthephone.COM recommends
that children ask a parent for permission before sending
personal information to Websiteonthephone.COM, or to anyone
else online.
Public Forums.
Please remember that any information you may disclose
in our Member Directory, or other public areas of our Web
sites or the Internet, becomes public information. You should
exercise caution when deciding to disclose personal information
in these public areas.
Websiteonthephone.COM's Commitment
to Data Security.
Services and Web sites we sponsor have security
measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration
of the information under our control. While we make every
effort to ensure the integrity and security of our network
and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures
will prevent third-party “hackers” from illegally obtaining
this information.
