version 3/21/2007
myTriggers.com is part of the myTriggers.com family of sites. At myTriggers.com, we strive to develop innovative services to
better serve our users. We recognize that privacy is an important
issue, so we design and operate our services with the protection of
your privacy in mind. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of
personal information we gather when you use myTriggers.com's services,
as well as some of the steps we take to safeguard it.
The following principles apply to the personally identifying
information we ask for and that you provide. "Personally identifying
information" is information that individually identifies you, such as
your name, physical address or email address.
Data collection
- myTriggers.com collects limited non-personally identifying
information your browser makes available whenever you visit a website.
This log information includes your Internet Protocol address, browser
type, browser language, the date and time of your query and one or more
cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. We use this
information to operate, develop and improve our services.
- Some
of our services require you to register for an account. myTriggers.com
asks you for some personal information in order to create an account
(typically your name, email address and a password for your account)
and we will use that information to provide the service. For certain
services, such as our advertising programs, we may request credit card
or other payment information which we maintain in encrypted form on
secure servers.
- When we require personally identifying
information, we will inform you about the types of information we
collect and how we use it. We hope this will help you make an informed
decision about sharing your personal information with us.
Cookies
- Upon your first visit to myTriggers.com, a cookie is sent to
your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. A "cookie" is a
small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your
computer when you visit a website. We use cookies to improve the
quality of our service and to better understand how people interact
with us. myTriggers.com does this by storing user preferences in
cookies and by tracking user trends and patterns of how people search.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset
your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is
being sent. However, some myTriggers.com features or services may not
function properly without cookies.
Information sharing
- We do not rent or sell your personally identifying
information to other companies or individuals, unless we have your
consent. We may share such information in any of the following limited
circumstances:
- We have your consent.
- We provide
such information to trusted businesses or persons for the sole purpose
of processing personally identifying information on our behalf. When
this is done, it is subject to agreements that oblige those parties to
process such information only on our instructions and in compliance
with this Privacy Policy and appropriate confidentiality and security
measures.
- We conclude that we are required by law
or have a good faith belief that access, preservation or disclosure of
such information is reasonably necessary to protect the rights,
property or safety of myTriggers.com, its users or the public.
- If
you have an account, we may share the information submitted under your
account among all of our services in order to provide you with a
seamless experience and to improve the quality of our services. We will
not disclose your account information to other people or non-affiliated
companies, except in the limited circumstances described in this Policy
or with your consent.
- We may store and process personal
information collected on our site in the United States or any other
country in which myTriggers.com Inc. or its agents maintain facilities.
By using our services, you consent to the transfer of your information
among these facilities, including those located outside your country.
- In
the event of a transfer of ownership of myTriggers.com Inc., such as
acquisition by or merger with another company, we will provide notice
before any personally identifying information is transferred and
becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
- We may
share aggregated information with others. Examples of this include the
number of users who searched for "Mars Rover" or how many users clicked
on a particular advertisement.
Information security
- We take appropriate security measures to protect against
unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or
destruction of data.
- We restrict access to your
personally identifying information to employees who need to know that
information in order to operate, develop or improve our services.
Updating your information
- We provide mechanisms for updating and correcting your
personally identifying information for many of our services. For more
information, please see the help pages for each service.
Links
- The sites displayed as search results or linked to by
myTriggers.com's services are developed by people over whom
myTriggers.com exercises no control. These other sites may place their
own cookies on your computer, collect data or solicit personal
information.
- myTriggers.com may present links in a format
that enables us to understand whether they have been followed. We use
this information to understand and improve the quality of
myTriggers.com's search technology. For instance, this data helps us
determine how often users are satisfied with the first result of a
query and how often they proceed to later results.
Changes to this Policy
Please note this Privacy Policy will change from time to time. We
expect most such changes to be minor, but there may be changes that are
more significant. Regardless, we will post those changes on this page
and, if the changes are significant, we will also provide a more
prominent notice. Each version will be noted at the top of the page.
Prior versions of this Privacy Policy will be kept in an archive for
you to view.
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us any time.
