INFORMATION COLLECTED 1. Personally Identifiable Information Personally Identifiable Information.
Registration Information.
In order to provide service to you, AdCalls collects your
name, email address (including postal code/zip code for
Demographic Information. AdCalls may collect demographic information from you such as gender, age, occupation, and your areas of interest. This information helps us tailor coupons and special offers from our advertisers to your interests. The registration information and certain demographic information is personally identifiable information ("PII"). We provide our Private Label Partners and paying advertisers this ("PII") from the coupon offers that you clicked, printed or called on, so they can provide you with additional details about their offers via email. We use PII to provide you with (1) information about AdCalls products, services, and updates, and (2) other information that may be of interest to you. 2. Aggregate Information Aggregate Information AdCalls collects aggregate information about use of our web site, using surveys, cookies, and data-mining technologies. We track such information as the number of visitors, duration of visits, how our site is navigated, and the kinds of browsers that visit our site. Information on web site usage is anonymous information rather than PII. We also collect information on use of our services. While you are making a call, we track the duration of the call and keep records of that. We also keep information on where a call originates and where it terminates. We use aggregate information to understand our business better so we can upgrade our infrastructure in accordance with user needs. 3. Profiles Profiles One of the ways we pay for the services we provide is by serving advertisements while you use our services. We use all of the information available to us to create profiles of our user base. Some of the information helps create a profile of an individual user, while other information helps create a profile of our users in aggregate. We may provide this aggregate profile information (not PII) to advertisers. For example, we may inform advertisers that we have a certain number of registered users who have an interest in a topic and are interested in receiving information about the topic. This helps to tailor information from advertisers to your interests as one means of paying for the services we provide to you at no charge. WHO COLLECTS INFORMATION? AdCalls collects registration information and demographic information from you, as described above. AdCalls also collects aggregate information. At times we outsource services from third parties, who may collect information or provide services on our behalf. For example, AdCalls works with third parties to serve advertisements on our sites, but does not disclose your PII to them. AdCalls has little or no control over the privacy policies of those companies, and so makes no representations or warranties as to their use of any information they collect. To find out how these parties manage privacy of information in serving advertisements on our sites, please go to: Similarly, the companies whose advertisements appear on your monitor from our servers cannot identify you unless you provide personal information to them after you have clicked on their ad. It is always a good idea to check the privacy policy of any web site before providing your PII to it. AdCalls also works with a small number of third parties so that AdCalls can provide you with email advertisements tailored to your needs and interests. If we disclose any PII to these third parties, the disclosure is always subject to obligations of strict confidentiality, meaning that the third party is not allowed to provide your PII to anyone else or use your PII for any other purpose. These third parties only provide advertisers with profile or aggregate information, not PII of our registered users. Cookies. Our web site sets "cookies" to help deliver content specific to your interests, to customize our web site for you, and to save your password and member name so that you don't have to enter it each time you visit. Cookies are text files that are stored on your personal computer and that allow web sites to identify you. Cookies help us target advertising and other information to your interests and prevent duplication of ads served to your browser. Public Forums. Our site may contain, from time to time, public forums available to users. Please remember that any information you disclose in these areas becomes public information. You should take appropriate measures to protect your personally identifiable information. Co-Branded Sites. We sometimes enter arrangements with third parties whereby we provide our services on their web sites. In many such cases, users will register for our service as well as that of the co-branded site. We use your PII and other general information in compliance with our Privacy Policy. Our co-branding partners have their own privacy policy, which you should review since we do not have control over their privacy policies. Links to Other Web Sites. Our site may contain, from time to time, links to other web sites. Please note that AdCalls is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such web sites or of any third party. You should review the privacy policies of such web sites when you visit them. General. The internet is not a secure medium, so be aware that communications over it are subject to third-party interception and eavesdropping. By submitting your information, you consent to the use of that information and other information we collect as set out in this Policy. If we change our Privacy Policy, we will post the changes on this page, and may place notices on other parts of the web site so that you may become aware of the information we collect and how we use it. Your continued use of our services will signify your consent to the changes and to our use of your information.
