Privacy
Policy
Last
Updated: July 25, 2003 US-Passport-Visa.com strives to offer its visitors
the many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an
interactive and personalized
experience. We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your
name, e-mail address, street address, telephone number) subject
to the terms of this privacy policy. We will never sell, barter,
or rent your email address to any unauthorized third party. Period."
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends
on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you elect
to participate
and the services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide
information when you register for access to certain portions
of our site or request certain features, such as newsletters
or when you make a purchase. You may provide information when
you participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and
chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site. Like most
Web sites, US-Passport-Visa.com also collects information automatically
and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent
to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet
Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you and
hold information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie
may store your user name and password, sparing you from having
to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control
the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement
while visiting our site. As we adopt additional technology, we
may also gather information through other means. In certain cases,
you can choose not to provide us with information, for example
by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you
do you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or
may be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we
may not be able to customize the site’s features according
to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance
your visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising.
We respect your privacy and do not share your information with
anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally
identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine
information about your usage patterns with similar information
obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services
(e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what features
are most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally
be shared with our advertisers and business partners. Again,
this information does not include any Personally Identifiable
Information about you or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on
US-Passport-Visa.com to communicate with you about your registration
and customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy
policy; services and products offered by US-Passport-Visa.com and
other topics we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by US-Passport-Visa.com
may also be used for other purposes, including but not limited
to site administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce
transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests, and
other communications with you. Certain third parties who provide
technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting
service for example) may access such information. We will use
your information only as permitted by law. In addition, from
time to time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell,
buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In
such transactions, user information may be among the transferred
assets. We may also disclose your information in response to
a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably
required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of
amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities
whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note we
may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
US-Passport-Visa.com expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates
to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that
third parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates
and other content providers accessible through our site, may
have their own privacy and data collection policies and practices.
For example, during your visit to our site you may link to, or
view as part of a frame on a US-Passport-Visa.com page, certain content
that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through
US-Passport-Visa.com you may be introduced to, or be able to access,
information, Web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes offered
by other parties. US-Passport-Visa.com is not responsible for the
actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the
applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing
information on a feature or page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or
other third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt
to identify some of your preferences or retrieve information
about you. For example, some of our advertising is served by
third parties and may include cookies that enable the advertiser
to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement
before. Other features available on our site may offer services
operated by third parties and may use cookies or other technology
to gather information. US-Passport-Visa.com does not control the use
of this technology by third parties or the resulting information,
and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third
parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally
Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas,
that information can be viewed publicly and can be collected
and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result
in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties.
Such activities are beyond the control of US-Passport-Visa.com and
this policy.
Children
US-Passport-Visa.com does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally
Identifiable Information from or about children under 13 except
as permitted by law. If we discover we have received any information
from a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we will delete
that information immediately. If you believe US-Passport-Visa.com
has any information from or about anyone under 13, please contact
