We have linked the home page of our web site to this page for your convenience and you may also contact us at [email protected] with any questions or concerns that you may have.

As of November 1, 2004, Profiles Global Inc. updated its Privacy Policy to give you a better understanding of our Policy and Practice. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].

Introduction

At Profiles Global Inc. we and our affiliated companies worldwide ("Profiles Global Inc.") are committed to respecting your online privacy and recognize your need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") you share with us.

Profiles Global Inc. has established this Online Privacy Policy so that you can understand the care with which we intend to treat your Personal Information.

Personal Information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address and an email address or other contact information, whether at work or at home. In general, you can visit Profiles Global Inc.'s Web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself.

Profiles Global Inc. strives to comply with all applicable laws around the globe that are designed to protect your privacy. Although legal requirements may vary from country to country, Profiles Global Inc. intends to adhere to the principles set forth in this Online Privacy Policy even if, in connection with the above, we transfer your Personal Information from your country to countries that may not require an "adequate" level of protection for your Personal Information. In other words, our goal is to provide protection for your Personal Information no matter where that Personal Information is collected, transferred, or retained.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

Some of our Web pages utilize "cookies" and other tracking technologies. A "cookie" is a small text file that may be used, for example, to collect information about Web site activity. Some cookies and other technologies may serve to recall Personal Information previously indicated by a Web user. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them.

You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser, but please note that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, you will need to re-enter your original user ID and password to gain access to certain parts of the Web site.

Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host names; Internet protocol (IP) addresses; browser software and operating system types; clickstream patterns; and dates and times that our site is accessed. Our use of cookies and other tracking technologies allows us to improve our Web site and your Web experience. We may also analyze information that does not contain Personal Information for trends and statistics.

To protect your privacy, we have adopted the following principles:

  • Notice
  • Choice
  • Security
  • Access/Accuracy

Notice

Profiles Global Inc. does not intend to transfer Personal Information without your consent to third parties who are not bound to act on Profiles Global Inc.'s behalf unless such transfer is legally required.

Choice

You may choose whether or not to provide Personal Information to Profiles Global Inc. The notice we intend to provide where Profiles Global Inc. collects Personal Information on the Web should help you to make this choice. If you choose not to provide the Personal Information we request, you can still visit most of Profiles Global Inc.'s Web sites, but you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services that involve our interaction with you.

If you chose to have a relationship with Profiles Global Inc., such as a contractual or other business relationship or partnership, we will naturally continue to contact you in connection with that business relationship.

Security

Wherever your Personal Information may be held within Profiles Global Inc. or on its behalf, we intend to take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the Personal Information that you share with us from unauthorized access or disclosure.

Access/Accuracy

To the extent that you do provide us with Personal Information, Profiles Global Inc. wishes to maintain accurate Personal Information. Where we collect Personal Information from you on the Web, our goal is to provide a means of contacting Profiles Global Inc. should you need to update or correct that Information. If for any reason those means are unavailable or inaccessible, you may send updates and corrections about your Personal Information to [email protected] and we will make reasonable efforts to incorporate the changes in your Personal Information that we hold as soon as practicable.

Third Party Services

Third parties provide certain services available on Profiles Global Inc.com on Profiles Global Inc.'s behalf. Service providers are also an important means by which Profiles Global Inc. maintains its Web site and mailing lists. Profiles Global Inc. will take reasonable steps to ensure that these third-party service providers are obligated to protect Personal Information on Profiles Global Inc.'s behalf.

Profiles Global Inc. does not intend to transfer Personal Information without your consent to third parties who are not bound to act on Profiles Global Inc.'s behalf unless such transfer is legally required. Similarly, it is against Profiles Global Inc.'s policy to sell Personal Information collected online without consent.

Children's Privacy

Profiles Global Inc. is not structured to attract children. Accordingly, we do not intend to collect Personal Information from anyone we know to be under 13 years of age.

Commitment

We are committed to privacy and, through our membership in the Online Privacy Alliance, are actively involved in and support current industry initiatives to preserve individual privacy rights on the Internet. Protecting your privacy online is an evolving area, and Profiles Global Inc.'s Web sites are constantly evolving to meet these demands.

If you have any comments or questions regarding our Online Privacy Policy, please contact us at [email protected]. While we cannot guarantee privacy perfection, we will address any issue to the best of our abilities as soon as possible.
