PRIVACY
POLICY
Last Updated: May 1, 2005
Team4Success
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. Team4Success Web sites also collect 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 Team4Success
websites to communicate with you about your registration and
customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy;
services and products offered by Team4Success websites and other topics we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information
collected by Team4Success Web sites 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
Team4Success
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
Team4Success Web site page, certain
content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also,
through a Team4Success web site page you
may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites,
features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. Team4Success 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. Team4Success 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 Team4Success and this policy.
Children
Team4Success
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 Team4Success has any information from or about anyone under 13,

reserves the right to change this policy at any time. Please check

those changes. Information collected prior to the time any change is
posted will be used according to the rules and laws that applied at
the time the information was collected.
