OUR
PRIVACY STATEMENT
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 adopted this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment
to privacy and security. This Privacy Policy describes how
PC's Unlimited collects information from all end users of
PC's Unlimited’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. PC's Unlimited
requests that you read this Privacy Policy carefully.
Personal
Information PC's Unlimited Collects and How It Is Used
Introduction
PC's Unlimited 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 PC's Unlimited and a partner jointly
promote the Services, PC's Unlimited 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. PC's Unlimited may also generate
nonidentifying 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 nonidentifying information
to sell advertisements that appear on the Services.
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. PC's
Unlimited 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.
Responses
to Email Inquiries
When Visitors or Members send
email inquiries to PC's Unlimited, the return email address
is used to answer the email inquiry we receive. PC's Unlimited
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 PC's Unlimited 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 PC's Unlimited’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, PC's Unlimited 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 PC's Unlimited and our Members.
"Cookies"

A “cookie” is a small data file
that can be placed on your hard drive when you visit certain
Web sites. PC's Unlimited 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. These cookies do not enable
third parties to access any of your customer information.
Additionally, be aware that if you visit non-PC's Unlimited
web sites where you are prompted to log in or that are customizable,
you may be required to accept cookies.
Advertisers

use of these cookies and expressly disclaim responsibility
for information collected through them.

PC's
Unlimited'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. PC's Unlimited recommends that
children ask a parent for permission before sending personal
information to PC's Unlimited, or to anyone else online.
PC's
Unlimited'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.
