ProfitCalc.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, our company 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 ProfitCalc.com to communicate
with you about your registration and customization preferences; our
Terms of Service and privacy policy; services and products offered
by ProfitCalc.com and other topics we think you might find of
interest.
Personally
Identifiable Information collected by ProfitCalc.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
ProfitCalc.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 of content that
is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through our
company web sites you may be introduced to, or be able to access,
information, Web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by
other parties. ProfitCalc.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. ProfitCalc.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 ProfitCalc.com and this policy.
Children
ProfitCalc.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 ProfitCalc.com has any information from
or about anyone under 13, please contact us at the address listed

posted will be used according to the rules and laws that applied at
the time the information was collected.
