ArticlesHere.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, our
company 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 ArticlesHere.com and our company web sites to communicate with you
about your registration and customization preferences; our Terms of
Service and privacy policy; services and products offered by
ArticlesHere.com and other topics we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by
ArticlesHere.com and our company web sites 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
ArticlesHere.com and our company web sites expect 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 of content that is actually created or
hosted by a third party. Also, through our company web sites you may be
introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features,
contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. ArticlesHere.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. ArticlesHere.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 ArticlesHere.com and this
policy.
Children
ArticlesHere.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 ArticlesHere.com
has any information from or about anyone under 13, please contact us at
the address listed below.
Cookies and Web Beacons
We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal
preferences when you visit our site. This could include only showing
you a popup once in your visit, or the ability to login to some of our
features, such as forums.
We also use third party advertisements on our site to support our site.
Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web
beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these
advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program)
information including your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used
to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed.
This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing New York real
estate ads to someone in New York, for example) or showing certain ads
based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone
who frequents cooking sites).
You can chose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or
third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing
preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this
can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other
websites. This could include the inability to login to services or
programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.

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