Policy Statement
Teen-Depression-Tips.com
(“TDT”) Online Privacy Policy (Last
updated March 6, 2007) TDT has established
this Privacy Policy to explain how it protects
and manages the personal information that it collects
from you (the customer) online.
1.
Consent for Collection, Use and Disclosure
Your
use of the TDT site and/or your registration for
TDT products and services constitute your consent
to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do
not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy,
please do not use the TDT site.
TDT
may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When
it does, TDT will also revise the “last
update” date at the top of this Privacy
Policy. In addition, TDT will seek a customer’s
prior consent, by email, for any new uses or proposed
disclosures of information collected from the
customer prior to the change. TDT will notify
customers by email of changes to this policy that
will affect information collected from them in
the future. In certain circumstances, however,
TDT will not inform and obtain the consent of
the customer, such as in connection with an investigation
of a breach of an agreement, contravention of
laws, an emergency where the life, health or security
of an individual is threatened, the collection
of a debt or in compliance with the request of
a law enforcement agency or a court order.
A
customer may withdraw his or her consent for collection,
use and disclosure at any time by sending an email
to unsubscribe@teen-depression-tips.com.
Please note that, if you do, TDT may suspend its
provision of products and services to you. When
you unsubscribe, if you fall within the guarantee
period for any TDT product and you request a refund,
the guarantee will be honored.
2. Accountability
TDT
collects, at the time of your registration and
your sign-on to its web site, certain “personal
information” (information that personally
identifies you) including but not limited to your
name, email address, home or work address, telephone
number, and information about your computer hardware
and software (e.g. IP address, operating system,
browser type, domain name, URL, access times,
and referring web site addresses).
TDT
has implemented this Privacy Policy to protect
personal information received from its customers,
and to respond to any inquiries. The Privacy Policy
also provides that TDT will use appropriate contractual
means to establish a comparable level of protection
for personal information which is sent for processing
by third parties on TDT’s behalf.
TDT
has designated responsibility for your personal
information to its Privacy
Officer, who ensures compliance with
the principles in this Privacy Policy. Other TDT
individuals may be delegated to act on behalf
of the Privacy
Officer.
3. Purposes for Collecting
Personal Information
TDT
collects and uses personal information for the
following Identified Purposes:
- to understand customer needs regarding TDT’s services;
- to develop and provide our web site and our products and services for our customers;
- to fulfill your requests for products, services or information;
-
to communicate with customers and site visitors, when necessary, and to
inform customers of upgrades, as well as of other products and services
available from TDT, its affiliates and third parties;
- to allow customers to access limited-entry areas of TDT’s site;
- to personalize some of our services and products for you and to deliver targeted advertisements
and offers from TDT and third parties;
- to bill accounts and maintain payment records;
- to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or government request;
-
to respond to a legitimate claim, or to address our reasonable belief,
that you are violating the rights of any third party or any of the
agreements or policies that govern your use of the TDT site or any TDT
product or service;
- to protect the services, products or rights of TDT, including but not limited to the security
or integrity of the TDT site; and
- to identify and resolve technical problems concerning TDT’s site, products and services.
TDT
also uses personal information in an aggregate
form (i.e. not individually attributable to you)
for its business analysis, operational, marketing
and other promotional purposes.
If
we hire other companies to provide some products
or services on our behalf, then we will only provide
those companies the personal information they
need for the Identified Purposes, and we will
limit their rights to use and further disclose
your personal information as appropriate in the
course of their work for us.
4.
Limiting the Collection of Personal Information
TDT
limits its collection of personal information
to only that information which is necessary for
the Identified Purposes. TDT does not direct its
site to, nor does it knowingly collect any personal
information from children under the age of thirteen.
When
you visit the TDT web site, a cookie may be placed
on your computer or the cookie may be read if
you have visited the TDT site previously. TDT
uses cookies to allow TDT to determine which products
and services you have already purchased so that
TDT does not provide redundant information to
you, and, if you are a TDT affiliate, to track
TDT sales made to customers referred by you so
that you can receive compensation under our affiliate
program. If you choose to not have your browser
accept cookies from the TDT web site, you may
not be able to view all the text on the screens,
or to experience a personalized visit, or to subscribe
to certain service and product offerings on the
TDT site.
5.
Disclosure, Processing and Retention
TDT
does not sell, rent or disclose your personal
information to anyone else, except:
- to someone you have designated to act as your agent, for one or more of the Identified Purposes
(listed in Section 2, above);
-
to TDT ’s employees, independent contractors, subsidiaries, affiliates,
consultants, business associates, service providers, suppliers and
agents, acting on TDT ’s behalf for any of the Identified Purposes;
-
as necessary if TDT has reason to believe that disclosure is necessary
to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be
causing injury to or interference (either intentionally or
unintentionally) with TDT’s rights or property, other users of TDT ’s
web site, products or services, or anyone else that could be harmed by
such activities; and
-
to respond to judicial process and provide information to law
enforcement agencies or in connection with an investigation on matters
related to public safety, as permitted by law, or otherwise as required
by law.
In
addition, as we continue to develop our business,
we or our affiliates may sell or buy other businesses
or entities, or we may merge with another company.
In such transactions, personal information may
be one of the transferred business assets.
Also,
in the event that TDT or substantially all of
its assets are acquired, your personal information
may be one of the transferred assets. Your information
may be stored and processed in the United States,
or in any other country in which TDT or its affiliates,
subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities. By
using this web site, you consent to any such transfer
of information outside of your country.
After
your account becomes inactive (that is, if you
request to be removed from our database), TDT
will keep your personal information in its archives.
Your information will then be used only as necessary
for tax reasons or to prove TDT’s compliance
with any applicable law.
6.
Accuracy of Personal Information
TDT
will use reasonable efforts to keep customer personal
information accurate for the Identified Purposes
and for minimizing the possibility of making inappropriate
customer decisions based on such information.
Customers are responsible for informing TDT about
changes to their personal information. You can
do this by sending an email to
our privacy department. TDT will
use new or updated personal information it receives
from customers to update its own records.
7.
Security Safeguards
TDT
will use reasonable efforts to protect customers’
personal information.
If
TDT is not able to provide access to some aspect
of a customer’s personal information, it
will provide reasons for denying access such as;
that by doing so would likely reveal personal
information about a third party, or that it is
confidential commercial information or attorney–client
privileged communications, or that the information
relates to a breach of an agreement or a contravention
of law, or that its disclosure could reasonably
be expected to threaten the life or security of
another individual.
Customers
have the right to request that inaccurate or incomplete
information be amended as appropriate, by contacting
TDT or the Privacy
Officer as described above. TDT will
promptly correct such personal information.
