Security Privacy Policy
VUANCE Inc. 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. Please note this policy applies only to information collected
by Vuance.com online and does not impact information collected or used by Vuance.com
or its affiliates through other means.
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, news updates and other products. You may provide
information when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, voting and polling activities,
message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site.
Like most websites, Vuance.com may also collect 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. However, 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, potentially preventing us from customizing the site's features according to your preferences.
WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT.
Like other Web publishers, we may collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more
individualized content and advertising. In addition we sometimes permit our advertising and
promotional partners to call to your attention products, special offers, and unique content we
believe might be of interest to you. We offer you the opportunity to elect not to receive direct
communications sent by our advertisers or promotional partners, as described below.
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 Vuance.com to communicate
with you about your registration and customization preferences; our Privacy Policy; services
and products offered by VUANCE Inc., and other VUANCE Inc. affiliates and partners; and
other topics we think you might find of interest. We reserve the right to share this information
with other VUANCE business units and affiliates.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by vuance.com 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 and our newsletter provider, 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, or 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.
YOUR CHOICE TO OPT OUT.
From time to time our advertising and promotional partners may use Personally Identifiable
Information to call to your attention products and offers they believe might interest you. If you
prefer not to receive direct communications sent by our advertisers or promotional partners,
you will be given an opportunity to decline before you provide us information we might use for
this purpose. If you decline at the time you provide us with such information, you will not receive
e-mail or other communications sent directly by our advertisers using information collected from
our site, though we may on occasion send you information on their behalf.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements.
Vuance.com expects 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 on a vuance.com page, certain content that is actually created or hosted by a
third party. Also, through Vuance.com you may be introduced to, or be able to access information,
websites, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. Vuance.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. Vuance.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 vuance.com and this policy.
CHILDREN.
Vuance.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 vuance.com has any information from or about anyone under 13, please contact us at the
