Our Pledge to You, Our Customer
Yardiac respects your privacy. We do not sell, rent, loan or transfer any
personal information regarding our customers to any unrelated
third parties. Any information you give us about yourself is held
with the utmost care and security and will not be used in ways to which you have
not consented.
Information collected on our Web site is collected and used by Yardiac, Inc.
and its subsidiaries and affiliates ("Yardiac") and, in limited cases,
Yardiac service providers who are subject to confidentiality agreements. If we collect any personally identifiable
information about children, we will first obtain their parents' consent. We request
that our customers do not provide any information regarding any child without
first obtaining their parents' consent. Examples of personally identifiable
information include full name, home address, e-mail address, and phone number.
Use of Information
Information collected by Yardiac is used by us for three main purposes.
First, we collect information to figure out how to improve our site by seeing
which areas, features and products are most popular. Second, we collect
information in order to personalize the site for our customers. For example, in
the future, we may recommend products or features you may like based on what you
have liked in the past. Last, we collect information to enable customers and to
conduct transactions on our Web site and to participate in sweepstakes, contests
and other activities. If we collect any such information from a child, we will
only collect enough information to enable the child to participate in the
activity and no more. If we want to collect information for other purposes, we
will inform you when we collect the information.
From time to time, we may use a limited number of service providers to assist
us with customer service, such as answering telephone calls and e-mails. These
service providers only use customer information to assist our customers. They
must keep all customer information strictly confidential and return it to Yardiac
when our agreements with them end. Thus, the information collected by these
service providers is controlled by Yardiac and will only be used for the
purposes described in this policy.
On occasion, Yardiac may also share non-personal, summary information
regarding our customers with unrelated third parties (for example, we publicly
disclose the aggregate number of registered users of our Web site). However, Yardiac
does not share any personal information about any particular customer with
unrelated third parties.
