DEVELOPMENT LLC
PRIVACY
POLICY
This
Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices for the www.mylinesonline.com
website and MY LINES software (the “Site”). 3W Development, LLC (“3WD”) the
provider of the Site (referred to as "us" or "we"), is
committed to protecting your privacy online.
You acknowledge that by accessing or using our Site, you agree to be
bound by the terms and conditions of this Site (“Terms”). This Privacy Policy is part of such
Terms. If you do not agree to the Terms,
please do not access or use this Site.
We
reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Such changes,
modifications, additions or deletions shall be effective immediately upon notice
thereof, which may be given by posting the revised Privacy Policy on this page.
You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this Site
and this Privacy Policy periodically and to be aware of any modifications. Your
continued use of the Site after such modifications will constitute your: (a)
acknowledgment of the modified Privacy Policy; and (b) agreement to abide and
be bound by the modified Privacy Policy.
The
following information discusses issues relating to your privacy and the Privacy
Policy of 3WD.
What information
do we collect from you?
In
order to better provide you with our numerous services, we collect two types of
information about our users: Personally Identifiable Information and
Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Our primary goal in collecting
information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized
experience while using our Site and to provide you with information on jobs and
services which may be of interest to you.
“Personally
Identifiable Information” refers to information that lets us know the specifics
of who you are. When you engage in certain activities on this Site, such as
registering for a membership, ordering a product or service, submitting
content, entering a contest or sweepstakes, filling out a survey, or sending us
feedback, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by
filling out and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for you to
engage in these activities. If you elect
to engage in these activities, however, we may ask that you provide us personal
information, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including zip
code), e-mail address, employer, job title and department, telephone and
facsimile numbers, and other personal identifying information. When ordering products or services on the Site,
you may be asked to provide a credit card number. Depending upon the activity, some of the
information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with
respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that
activity.
“Non-Personally
Identifiable Information” refers to information that does not by itself
identify a specific individual. We
gather certain information about you based upon where you visit on our Site in
several ways. This information is
compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the Web site's
Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL
you go to next, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol
("IP") address. An URL is the global address of documents and other
resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer
or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks like the Web
use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the
destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically
assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing web
servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in
order for users to communicate on the Internet.
Where do we collect
information from you and how do we use it?
We do
not collect any Personally Identifiable Information about you unless you
voluntarily provide it to us. You provide certain Personally Identifiable
Information to us when you:
(a) register for our services and register your e-mail address
with us;
(b) post information about yourself on our Site;
(c) enter sweepstakes or contests sponsored by us or one of our
partners;
(d) sign up for special offers from selected third parties;
(e) send e-mail messages, submit forms or transmit other
information by telephone or letter; or
(f) submit your credit card or other payment information when
ordering and purchasing products and services on our Site.
We may
also collect information from you at other points on our Site that state that
such information is being collected.
In
addition, we may also collect, or our third party ad server and/or content
server may collect, certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information. This
information is ultimately stored in the form of store categories, and, in some
cases, specific URLs. We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our
servers, software, to administer our Site and to gather demographic
information. Our third party ad servers will also provide us with summary, but
not individual, reports that will tell us how many ads were presented and
clicked upon at our Site.
We will
primarily use your Personally Identifiable Information to provide our services
to you, as required by our agreements with you. Personally Identifiable
Information that you post in your Job Seeker snapshot will be available for
Employers to view and any additional information you provide to Employers may
contain Personally Identifiable Information.
We will also use Personally Identifiable Information to enhance the
operation of our Site, fill orders, improve our marketing and promotional
efforts, statistically analyze Site use, improve our product and service
offerings, and customize our Site's content, layout, and services. We may use Personally Identifiable
Information to deliver information to you and to contact you regarding
administrative notices. We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to
resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our agreements with you,
including our Terms and Conditions of Use, 3WD Subscription Agreement, and this
Private Policy.
With whom do we
share your information?
We do
provide some of our services through contractual arrangements with select
affiliates, services providers, partners and other third parties. We and our service partners use your
Personally Identifiable Information to operate our Sites and to deliver our
services.
We will
encourage our service partners to adopt and post privacy policies. However, the
use of your Personally Identifiable Information by our service partners is
governed by the privacy policies of those service partners, and is not subject
to our control.
Occasionally
we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide
Personally Identifiable Information to the appropriate governmental
authorities. We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information upon receipt
of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement
investigation. We fully cooperate with
law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal
activities. We reserve the right to
report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe
to be unlawful.
We may
also provide Non-Personally Identifiable Information about our customers'
sales, traffic patterns, and related Site information to third party
advertisers, but these statistics do not include any Personally Identifiable
Information.
How can you update
or correct your Personally Identifiable Information?
We
believe you should have the ability to access and edit the Personally
Identifiable Information that you have provided to us. You may change any of your Personally
Identifiable Information in your account online at any time by linking to your
account in accordance with instructions posted elsewhere on this Site. You may also access and correct your personal
information and privacy preferences by writing us at privacy@mylinesonline.com.
Please include your name, address, and/or e-mail address when you contact us.
We
encourage you to promptly update your Personally Identifiable Information if it
changes. You may ask to have the
information on your account deleted or removed; however, because we keep track
of past transactions, you cannot delete information associated with past
transactions on this Site. In addition,
it may be impossible to completely delete your information without some
residual information because of backups.
What are your
choices regarding collection, use, and distribution of your information?
We may,
from time to time, send you e-mail and/or text message regarding our products
and services. In addition, if you
indicated upon registration that you are interested in receiving offers or
information from us and our partners, we may occasionally send you direct mail
about products and services that we feel may be of interest to you. However, we will make every effort to ensure
that you have the ability to opt-out of the sharing of such data with such
partners. Only 3WD (or agents working on
behalf of 3WD or its affiliates and under contractual agreements) will send you
these direct mailings and only if you indicated that you do not object to these
offers. If you do not want to receive
such mailings, simply tell us when you give us your personal information. Or, at any time you can easily edit your
account information to no longer receive such offers and mailings.
You
also have choices with respect to cookies, as described below. By modifying your browser preferences, you
have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or
to reject all cookies. If you choose to
reject all cookies some parts of our Site may not work properly in your case.
What security
precautions are in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of
your information?
At our Site
you can be assured that your Personally Identifiable Information is secure,
consistent with current industry standards. The importance of security for all
Personally Identifiable Information associated with our user is of utmost
concern to us. We recommend that you do
not divulge your password to anyone. In
addition, your Personally Identifiable Information resides on a secure server
that only selected 3WD personnel, contractors and affiliates have access to via
password.
Personal
information that you provide that is not Personally Identifiable Information
also resides on a secure server and is only accessible via password. Since this information is not accessible from
outside 3WD you will not be asked to select a password in order to view or
modify such information.
In
order to most efficiently serve you, credit card transactions and order
fulfillment are handled by established third party banking, processing agents
and distribution institutions. They receive the information needed to verify
and authorize your credit card or other payment information and to process and
ship your order.
Unfortunately,
no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be
guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a
result, while we strive to protect your Personally Identifiable Information,
you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the
Internet which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy
of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this Site
cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or
tampered with in transit by a third party.
Do we use
"cookies"?
When
you use our Site we will store cookies on your computer in order to facilitate
and customize your use of our Site. A
cookie is a small data text file, which a Web site stores on your computer's
hard drive (if your Web browser permits) that can later be retrieved to
identify you to us. For example, our
cookies may store randomly assigned user identification numbers, the country
where you are located, and your first name to welcome you back to our Site. The cookies make your use of the Site easier,
make the Site run more smoothly and help us to maintain a secure Site. You are always free to decline our cookies if
your browser permits, but some parts of our Site may not work properly in that
case.
We may
use an outside ad serving company to display banner advertisements on our Site. As part of their service, they will place a
separate cookie on your computer. We will
not provide any third-party ad server with any of your Personally Identifiable
Information or information about your purchases. We and our third party ad server will collect
and use Non-Personally Identifiable Information about you, such as your IP address,
browser type, the server your computer is logged onto, the area code and zip
code associated with your server and whether you responded to a particular
ad. Other advertisers may also place
banner ads on our Site in the same manner as above, but we will not disclose
any Personally Identifiable Information to them.
What should you
know about privacy policies and data collection at any third party sites
accessible from our Site?
Except
as otherwise discussed in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the
use and disclosure of information we collect from you. Other sites accessible through our Site have
their own privacy policies and data collection, use and disclosure
practices. Please consult each site's
privacy policy. We are not responsible
for the policies or practices of third parties.
Additionally, other companies which place advertising on our Site may
collect information about you when you view or click on their advertising
through the use of cookies. We cannot
control this collection of information.
You should contact these advertisers directly if you have any questions
about their use of the information that they collect.

we do not knowingly collect, use or disclose Personally Identifiable
Information about visitors that are under 13 years of age.
You

voluntarily disclosed (i.e. your name, e-mail address, etc.) in the public
areas on this Site, that information, along with any information disclosed in
your communication, can be collected and used by third parties and may result
in unsolicited messages from third parties.
