Our Privacy Policy was developed as an extension of our commitment to combine the highest-quality products and services with the highest level of integrity in dealing with our clients and partners. The Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use and safeguard the personal information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our site and our products and services. This statement will be continuously assessed against new technologies, business practices and our customers' needs.
Please also read our Terms of Use whose provisions apply to our Privacy Policy.
What This Privacy Policy Covers
This policy covers how Soul Vibrations.com, SvDigitalUniverse.com, SvShopping.com, svShoppingDeals.com, SvSpiritMatch.com and all other sites linked to this policy (collectively, SVDU) treats personal information that SVDU collects and receives.
Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly available.
This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that SVDU does not own or control, or to people that SVDU does not employ or manage.
General
SVDU collects personal information when you register for, or use, SVDU services, when you visit SVDU pages or the pages of certain SVDU partners, and when you enter promotions or sweepstakes.
When you register or use some of our services we ask for information such as your name, email address, birth date, gender, ZIP code, occupation, industry, and personal interests.
In our surveys which might ask for additional information you remain anonymous to us.
SVDU automatically receives and records information from your computer and browser, including your IP address, SVDU cookie information, software and hardware attributes, and the page you request.
SVDU uses information for the following general purposes: to customize the advertising and content you see, fulfill your requests for products and services, improve our services, contact you, conduct research, and provide anonymous reporting for internal and external clients. We may at times use this information to send email messages to visitors about changes in services or announcements about new services.
Children
SVDU does not publish adult content as defined by The Child Protection and Obscenity Enforcement Act of 1988 or the Children's Internet Protection Act. SVDU does not publish content containing explicit violence.
This provision does not apply to the practices of Merchant companies that it does not own or control, or to people employed or managed by these Merchants. (see SvShopping.com and svShoppingDeals.com Terms of Use.)
Use of Information
SVDU does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or non-affiliated companies except to provide products or services you've requested, when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:
We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with SVDU under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help SVDU communicate with you about offers from SVDU and our marketing partners. However, these companies do not have any independent right to share this information.
We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of SVDU's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
We transfer information about you if SVDU is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, SVDU will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
SVDU may display targeted advertisements based on personal information. Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who interact with, view, or click targeted ads meet the targeting criteria—for example, women ages 18-24 from a particular geographic area.
SVDU does not provide any personal information to the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad. However, by interacting with or viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the ad.
Cookies
SVDU may set and access SVDU cookies on your computer.
SVDU lets other companies that show advertisements on some of our pages set and access their cookies on your computer.
Other companies' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies and terms of use, not this one. Advertisers or other companies do not have access to SVDU's cookies.
Confidentiality and Security
We limit access to personal information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
SVDU may update this policy. We will notify you about significant changes in the way we treat personal information by sending a notice to the primary email address specified your SVDU account or by placing a prominent notice on our site.
