Income Directory 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, Income Directory 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 sites 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 Income Directory to communicate with you about your
registration and customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy
policy; services and products offered by Income Directory and other topics we
think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information
collected by Income Directory 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
Income Directory 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 Income Directory page,
certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also,
through Income Directory you may be introduced to, or be able to access,
information, Web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other
parties. Income Directory 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. Income Directory 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 Income Directory and this policy.
Children
Income Directory 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 Income Directory has any

Income Directory reserves the right to
change this policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes.
Your continued use of our site following the posting of changes to these terms
will mean you accept 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.

What is
a Cookie?
Cookies are a
feature of web browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, etc.) software
that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a site. They
are small pieces of data that are stored by a user's web browser on one site to
simplify subsequent interactions with that site by the same user or to use the
information to streamline the user's transaction on related web pages. This
makes it easier for a user to move from site to site and to complete
transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make your online experience
easier and more personalized.
How Do
We Use the Information Collected?
Broadly
speaking, persons we employ directly, or as contractors or agents at our
direction, use Active Information for purposes of administering our business
activities, providing customer services such as support, and making available
other products or services we think may be of interest to our users. We may use
the Active Information or Passive Information you provide to us to contact you
about changes to our site, new services, features or products we offer, or other
information we think you shall find valuable. If at any time you do not wish to
receive such information, please send us an email .
We use Passive
Information to gather information about our users and to enhance and design our
site to make it easier, faster and friendlier to use. Additionally, cookies help
us know information about how many people visit our site, when they visit and
how they use our service. We do not connect any of this information to your
personal information or email address. However, Passive Information may result
in your viewing of particular advertising based on your user habits for your
viewing on our site.
