PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: December 14, 2009
SmallE-BizReports.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, SmallE-BizReports.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 SmallE-BizReports.com to communicate with you about your
registration and customization preferences; our Terms of Service and
privacy policy; services and products offered by SmallE-BizReports.com
and other topics we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by
SmallE-BizReports.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.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
SmallE-BizReports.com 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 SmallE-BizReports.com page, certain content that is
actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through
SmallE-BizReports.com you may be introduced to, or be able to access,
information, Web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by
other parties. SmallE-BizReports.com 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.
SmallE-BizReports.com 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 SmallE-BizReports.com and this
policy.
Children
SmallE-BizReports.com 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

rules and laws that applied at the time the information was collected.
