Biz-eWomen's Online Privacy Policy
We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of the users of our
sites. This privacy policy will advise you about how we protect your personal
information, and about what choices you have concerning our use of such
information. Please read this policy carefully. We may need to change this
policy from time to time in order to address new issues and reflect changes on
our sites. We will post those changes here so that you will always know what
information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we will
disclose that information to anyone. Please refer back to this policy regularly.
If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy policy, please send us
an e-mail to: info@biz-eWomen.com.
Personal Identification Information
We will never intentionally disclose any personal identification information
about you as an individual user (such as, for example, your full name, street
address, telephone number, credit card number or e-mail address) to any third
party without having received your permission. We may request personal
identification information from you in connection with your use of, or
participation in, registrations, content submissions, requests for suggestions, visitors' requests for free
products or services or additional information, and in connection with other
activities, services or resources we make available on any of our sites. In all
of these cases, we will collect personal identification information from you
only if you voluntarily submit such information to us. If you do provide us with
personal information, we may use it to conduct the activities described above.
If you identify yourself to us by sending us an e-mail with questions or
comments, we may use your personal information to respond to your questions or
comments. We may file your comments for future reference, or we may discard the
information after we have reviewed it. We may also contact you to confirm your
registration and about your account status (for example, when a child enters a
new age group to which different policies apply), and regarding changes to the
Biz-eWomen Sites' Terms and Conditions and this Privacy Policy. If you give us
your permission, we may also use personal identification information for
internal or external marketing and promotional purposes. On occasion, for
example, we may send you e-mails to introduce a product or service that we think
might be of interest to the users of our sites. For us to obtain your permission
to send you this information, we will give you an opportunity to
"opt-in" at the time our request for your personal information is
made. If you do "opt-in," you may choose to "opt-out" at any
time, even after you have provided personal information, by following the
procedures set forth below at the end of this Privacy Policy. Please note,
however, that under certain circumstances, if you initially do not choose to
"opt-in," or if you later "opt-out," you may not be eligible
for certain benefits for which a name, e-mail address, telephone number or other
personal identification information is needed. We have the following exceptions
to these policies: We will release specific information about you or your
account to comply with any valid legal process such as a search warrant,
subpoena, statute or court order. We will also release specific information in
special cases, such as if there is an attempted breach of the security of the
Biz-eWomen Sites, or a physical threat to you or others. Please note that if you
give out personal information online -- for example, through a message board or
chat room -- that information can be collected and used by third parties.
Although we strive to protect our users' privacy, we cannot guarantee the
security of information you post in these forums. You disclose such information
at your own risk.
Privacy of Children
Biz-eWomen protects the rights of children and we make every attempt tol safeguards and
protect the privacy of our users. We realize that they may not understand all the provisions of our
policy or be able to make thoughtful decisions about the choices that are made
available to our adult users. We urge all parents to participate in their
children's exploration of the Internet and any online services, and to teach
their children about protecting their personal information while online. The
Biz-eWomen Sites are not directed to children under the age of 13.
Biz-eWomen knowingly will not collect personally identifiable information
from children under 13. Note to Parents. If you have any concerns about the Biz-eWomen
Sites or their related services, please e-mail: info@biz-eWomen.com.

"cookie" technology and/or IP address tracking.

Users will find advertising or other contents on our sites that link to the
sites and services of our partners, suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, licensors
and other third parties. In many cases, the links represent cooperative projects
or are mutual links established with persons or entities connected with our
sites. Although we initially visit the sites or services that are so linked, we
do not control the content or links that appear on these sites. In addition,
these sites or services, including their contents and links, may be constantly
changing. These sites and services may have their own privacy policies and
customer service policies, or no policy (policies) at all. We encourage you to
review the privacy policies of any third party sites or services before
providing any of them with your personal information.
