The owners and operators of this domain and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the same including predecessors, successors, and assigns, are the owners, publishers, and/or operators of this and other various websites and are hereinafter referred to collectively as "Company." When first-person pronouns are used in this Policy (us, we, our, ours, etc.), these provisions refer to the Site's Operator.

The primary use for any information collected is to provide you with Site services. We also use your information such as location data to deliver customized services to you; for User support purposes; and for efforts to monitor and help ensure against illegal activities, fraud, harassment and spamming. Non-personal and aggregate information, which is – as stated above – collected passively, is used to geographically customize our marketing efforts or to generally customize the use of our site for an aggregate group of customers. We may share this user information with third-party entities as necessary for such entities to provide external processing or analytics services. Information gathered from Potential Advertisers may be used to assist such individuals in completing the registration process, promotional communications, and for marketing and/or research purposes. Voluntary Data may be used in any manner at our sole discretion including, but not limited to, promotional purposes and as described in Section VIII.
VI. Do Not Track ("DNT") Disclosure. Although the Site may not have the capability of recognizing all web browser Do Not Track signals, you may delete or decline the use of certain cookies by editing your browser settings. Choosing to disable cookies at this time may disable or alter the functionality of some Site features. Because we are committed to providing you with choices regarding data collection, for more information about browser tracking signals and Do Not Track policies, please visit: www.allaboutdnt.org
VII. Third-Party Data Tracking – We currently utilize third-party services to track certain usage data collected over time and across certain websites, as well as the effectiveness of certain advertising campaigns. We do not provide any personally identifying information to such third parties, but they may choose to collect generalized User activity data from you. The collection and use of this aggregate User data may be subject to the policies of the relevant third-party advertising agent. For more information about advertising tracking and your rights as an online consumer, please visit www.networkadvertising.org.
VIII. Special Cases.
Our policy is not to use or share the information about Users in ways unrelated to those described in this Policy without also providing the User with an opportunity to opt out or otherwise object to such unrelated uses. However, we may disclose information about Users, or information regarding your use of the Services or websites accessible through our Services, for any reason without notice if, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to do so, including, but not limited to:
1. To satisfy any laws, regulations, or governmental, or legal requests for such information. This privacy policy and the documents referred to in them shall be governed and construed under Switzerland law. Any disputes relating to this privacy policy, the documents referred to in them, or the site or the Services will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Governing laws of Switzerland and the Switzerland courts.
2. To disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms & Conditions and other policies and procedures;
3. To operate our Services properly;
4. To protect ourselves, our Users, and the general public. We specifically reserve the right to disclose any information to law enforcement if a crime – including, but not limited to, fraud-related offense – is committed, is suspected, or if we are compelled to do so by lawful criminal, civil, or administrative process, discovery requests, subpoenas, court orders, warrants, writs, or reasonable request of authorities or persons with the reasonable power to obtain such process;
5. To cooperate with law enforcement authorities, and other governmental, administrative, or regulatory agencies about our Users to the extent required by applicable law. Examples of such cooperation include, but are not limited to, lawful criminal, civil, or administrative process, discovery requests, subpoenas, court orders, warrants, or writs; and
6. To enable or become involved with a corporate transaction or reorganization, such as a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy/receivership. In the event of any of these activities, you consent to the disclosure, transfer, sale, and/or release of your personal information and data to such third-party recipients of the Company’s assets.
IX. Electronic Communication from Us.
Except as otherwise provided hereunder concerning Potential Advertisers and Voluntary Data, the Company does not presently intend to send promotional communications to Users, as there is no active collection of a User’s email address or contact information. Notwithstanding, the Company specifically reserves the right to change this policy, and do so in the future, without prior notice. The implementation of any changes to the preexisting practice will be reflected in the Site’s Privacy Policy. We strongly advise our Users to periodically review the terms of this policy to stay apprised of any such changes.
If you provide your information to us or use the Site, you will have created a commercial relationship with us. Even though the Site presently opts not to provide Users with promotional advertising materials (except as otherwise described hereunder concerning Potential Advertisers and Users who submit Voluntary Data), your use of the Site and its services constitutes your understanding and consent that even unsolicited commercial email sent from us or our affiliates is not unlawful SPAM as that term is defined under the law.
X. Public Forums.
The Company may from time to time offer public forums and blogs. To the extent you provide Voluntary Data, we reserve to right to use such data as described in Sections III, V, and VIII.
XI. Our Commitment to Data Security.
We take commercially reasonable measures to protect the transmission of all User information. Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party ‘hackers’ from illegally obtaining this information. We take reasonable measures to prevent such breaches of security, but given the resourcefulness of cyber-criminals, we are unable to guarantee that our security is completely breach-proof. You assume the risk of such breaches to the extent that they occur despite our reasonable security measures.
Further, other than what is stated hereunder, we do not provide User information to third parties; nor will we sell, rent, or provide any of your information to other entities such as advertisers, or other companies selling services similar to this Company’s services. The Site may contain advertisements that contain or are in the form of banners/links to third-party sites and you understand and acknowledge that such third-party sites generally will contain policies and procedures including, but not limited to, terms of use, privacy policy, etc. that are different from our Site’s. If you access a third party’s site, we encourage you to read and understand such site’s policies and procedures.
