ColeGenealogy.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,
ColeGenealogy.com
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
ColeGenealogy.com
to communicate
with you about
your
registration and
customization
preferences; our
Terms of Service
and privacy
policy; services
and products
offered by
ColeGenealogy.com
and other topics
we think you
might find of
interest.
Personally
Identifiable
Information
collected by
ColeGenealogy.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.
