It is of utmost importance to us that you have a safe and secure experience while visiting our website ("Site"). This Privacy Policy explains the privacy practices for this Site. We recognize that we must maintain and use your information responsibly, and this privacy policy explains our practices. This privacy policy may be updated or modified at any time or from time to time without advance notice. Privacy policy updates will be reflected with a revision date which is displayed near the top of the policy.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Personal Information.
You can travel through most all of our website without giving us registration information about yourself. But sometimes we do ask for information to provide content or services that you request. When you register for certain content and/or services on the Site, we may ask you to provide personal information. For some content and/or services we collect personal information, such as your first name, last name, e-mail address, title, address or telephone number. We may also collect related or demographic information, such as your postal code, interest in certain products or services, and/or preferences. Information we collect may be combined with information we obtained through other services we offer.
Third Parties.
In order to provide you with certain content downloads as a free service, we may share information included on registration forms with relevant business partners, including CRM software suppliers. Alternatively, if you desire that your information not be shared with any third party, please write "do not share" in the Comments section of the form submission.
Aggregate Information.
Aggregate information is data we collect about a group or category of products, services or visitors, from which individual user identities have been removed. We collect aggregate information about you and your use of our services and combine it with information about how others use the same service. Such aggregate information includes, without limitation, site traffic, page views, and impressions. This information may be correlated to you for our internal use. We may collect, compile, store, publish, promote, sell, or otherwise disclose or use any and all aggregate information (i.e., information that does not personally identify you).
USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We use personal information to serve our visitors, enhance our services and/or extend our relationship with visitors. We use personal information for the purposes for which it was collected, such as to provide you with the content or services, to anticipate and resolve problems with our Site, to respond to support inquiries, to send periodic e-mail or newsletters, to send you relevant survey invitations, to contact contest winners, and/or for sales and marketing purposes. We may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. You may unsubscribe or opt-out at any time. We also maintain an opt-in phone list for the purposes cited prior. By agreeing to the terms and conditions of this privacy policy, and providing us with a phone number, Site users are adding themselves to our opt-in phone list and authorizing us to contact them for any of the prior listed purposes, regardless of their phone number's status on the National Do-Not-Call List, or any do-not-call-list or registry maintained by any of the States or local governments within the United States. Visitors who do not wish to be contacted by phone may opt-out by writing "do not share" in the Comments section of the form submission from which they register. If you no longer wish to receive Newsletter or other mailings, you can also unsubscribe by sending an email to optout@vantivemedia.com with "unsubscribe" in the subject line. In the event that our company is merged with or acquired by a third party, we retain the right to transfer all personal (consumer) information databases to successors or purchasers of the site and its assets.
DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We will disclose personal information in the following circumstances:
Internal Analysis and Operations: We will use and disclose information about you for our own internal statistical, design or operational purposes, such as to estimate our audience size, measure aggregate traffic patterns, and understand demographic, user interest, purchasing and other trends among our users. We may outsource these tasks and disclose personal information about you to third parties, provided the use and disclosure of your personal information by these third parties is restricted to performance of such tasks. We may also share personal information with third-party vendors who assist us in performing internal functions necessary to operate our business. We require our third party vendors to only use the information for the purpose it was provided.
Transaction Processing: We will disclose personal information to one or more third parties, as necessary, to provide you with content or services.
Lawful Compliance: We disclose personal information when we believe it is appropriate to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena, warrant or court order); to enforce or apply this privacy statement or our other policies or agreements; to initiate, render, bill, and collect for amounts owed to us; to protect our or our users' rights, property or safety; or to protect our users from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of, our Site; or if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires disclosure of communications or justifies disclosure of records without delay.
Business Transfers: In addition, information about users of our Site, including personally identifiable information provided to us by our users, may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition or sale of company assets.
Co-Branded Services: Some services may be co-branded and offered in conjunction with another company. If you register for or use such services, both our company and the other company may receive information collected in conjunction with the co-branded services.

We realize 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 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.
