Introduction. ACCarmenandAssociates.com collects information in different ways from
Visitors and Members who access the various parts of our Services and
the network of Web sites accessible through our Service. A service is
considered to be rendered if Visitors and Members read, copy or
download any information from the website.
Registration: Members may be asked to provide certain personal
information when they sign up for our Products or Services including
name, address, telephone number, billing information (such as a credit
card number), and the type of personal computer being used to access
the Services. The personal information collected from Members during
the registration process is used to manage each Member's account (such
as for billing purposes). This information may be shared with third
parties, as stated herein, or in special circumstances.
However, in instances where ACCarmenandAssociates.com and a partner jointly promote
Services, we may provide the partner certain personal information, such
as the name, address, and username of persons who subscribed to the
Services as a result of the joint promotion for the purpose of offering
you other Products and Services.
In this instance personal information may not be used by the partner
for any other purpose. We may also generate non-identifying and
aggregate profiles from personal information Members provide during
registration (such as the total number, but not the names, of Members).
As explained in more detail below, we may use this aggregated and
non-identifying information to sell advertisements that appear on the
Services.
Also, with purchases, we may supply our Member's contact information,
to our business partners, who may then contact the member by telephone
or mail after the Member purchase. Sales proceeds may be collected by
that business partner. We also may supply other companies with
contact information for mail offers we believe would be of interest to
our members, with or without compensation from those companies.
At times we may send an advertisement for a third party product, where
we collect the sales proceeds, and forward the purchaser's information
to that third party.
ACCarmenandAssociates.com Partners and Sponsors: Some products and services
may be offered to Visitors and Members in conjunction with an
affiliate, independent contractor seller or non-affiliated partner. To
provide Visitors and Members some of these products and services, the
partner may need to collect and maintain personal information.
Online Shopping: At some Web sites, you can purchase products and
services or register to receive materials, such as a newsletter,
catalog or new product and service updates. In many cases, you may be
asked to provide contact information, such as your name, address, email
address, phone number, and credit/debit card information.
If you complete an order for someone else, such as an online gift order
sent directly to a recipient, you may be asked to provide information
about the recipient, such as the recipient's name, address, and phone
number. ACCarmenandAssociates.com has no control over the third parties' use
of any personal information you provide when placing such an order.
Please exercise care when doing so.
If you order services or products directly from ACCarmenandAssociates.com, we
use the personal information you provide to process that order.
We do share this information with outside parties that we do business
with.
Online Advertisements: Our website may display our online
advertisements. In those cases we share information about our Visitors
and Members collected through the registration process as well as
through online surveys and promotions with these advertisers.
Additionally, in some instances, we use this information to deliver
tailored advertisements or joint ventures. For instance, an advertiser
or joint venture partner tells us the audience they want to reach and
provides us an advertisement tailored to the audience. Based upon the
information we have collected, we may then display or send the
advertisement to the intended audience. ACCarmenandAssociates.com does share
personal information about its Visitors or Members with these
advertisers or joint venture companies.
Responses to Email Inquiries: When Visitors or Members send email
inquiries to our website, the return email address is used to answer
the email inquiry we receive.
Voluntary Customer Surveys: We may periodically conduct both
business and individual customer surveys. We encourage our customers to
participate in these surveys because they provide us with important
information that helps us to improve the types of products and services
we offer and how we provide them to you.
Also, we may disclose personal information about Visitors or Members,
or information regarding your use of the Services or Web sites
accessible through our Services, for any reason if, in our sole
discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to do so, including:
credit agencies, collection agencies, merchant database agencies, law
enforcement, or to satisfy laws, such as the Electronic Communications
Privacy Act, the Child Online Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental
or legal requests for such information; to disclose information that is
necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone
who may be violating our Acceptable Use Policy or Terms Of Service, or
other user policies; to operate the Services properly; or to
