We have created
this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our commitment to
privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and
dissemination practices for our Site
Membership Information
Information that
allows ScotCards to fulfill your request. Generally, the
Operators will not share any personal information submitted by you
without posting a notification that the Operators intend to do so.
With your permission, the Operators may share information
submitted by you with the Site's business partners that provide
promotional material or help to publish our Web site, maintain our
database and/or fulfill orders you have made. You may opt out of
receiving materials from such sources at any time requesting to do
so at
Registration. You
will be required to register to take advantage of some of the
interactive activities on the Site . To register, you will need to
submit your full name and e-mail address and to select a unique
member name to be used as an identifier for the feature, and a
password.
Either you or the Operators may terminate your membership at any
time, for any reason, effective upon sending written notice to the
other party. The Operators reserve the right to immediately
suspend or terminate your access to the eCard service, without any
prior notice, upon any breach of this Agreement by you which is
brought to the Operators attention.
In the course of using our site, we automatically track certain
information such as your IP addresses and e-mail addresses. Many
sites automatically collect this information. If you choose to
post messages in our message areas (such as e-cards), we will only
display such information about you as you choose to reveal.
If you send us personal correspondence, such as emails, e-cards or
letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence
about your activities or postings on the site, we may collect such
information into a file which is only accessed by authorized
personnel. We may also collect other user's comments about you in
our complaints department.
Opting Out; Reviewing and Changing Your Information
Opting Out. When you sign up for any feature on the Site, you may
choose to opt out of (a) receiving communications from the Site or
about new features or services, and (b) receiving communications
from third-party companies concerning their products or services.
If you would like to stop such use of your personal information at
any time and for any reason, you may notify that preference by
emailing us at
Security Policies
Please keep in mind that whatever you publicly disclose online -
for example in an e-card, or through e-mail - can be collected and
used by others or unlawfully intercepted by third parties. No data
transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100%
secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, the
Operators cannot warrant the security of any information you
transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. In addition, the
Operators may disclose information to law enforcement or other
government officials if we determine such disclosure to be
necessary or appropriate, or if we are compelled to disclose it by
court order or operation of law.
Your ScotCards membership registration account is password
protected so that only you can access it and view the member
information relevant to your account. We recommend that you do not
divulge your password to anyone. Ultimately, you are solely
responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or
account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever
you are online.
Use of Cookies
Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to a
user's computer hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies
make Web-surfing easier for you by saving your preferences while
you are at our site. We never save passwords or credit card
information in cookies. Accepting a cookie does not give anyone
access to your computer or to any personal information. It is
simply a small file in which we keep information that identifies
you as a unique user. For example, we may use a cookie to indicate
when you have already voted for a particular site to prevent
multiple voting and a distortion of results.
The use of cookies is an industry standard - you'll find them at
most major Web sites. Most browsers are initially configured to
accept cookies. However, you can reset your browser to refuse all
cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. Although you will
still be able to enjoy many of the features on the Site if you
disable your browser from accepting cookies, some parts of the
Site's service will not function properly or may be considerably
slower if you refuse cookies.
About IP Addresses and Surveys Used for Research Purposes
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your
computer whenever you are surfing the Web. Web servers - the
computers that "serve up" Web pages - automatically identify your
computer by its IP address. When users request pages on the site,
our servers log their IP addresses. Some activities within the
Site, such as posting a chat message, may display IP addresses
along with the user's first name and message. Please review each
activity prior to use and only participate in those that involve
the disclosure of information you are comfortable with sharing.
Links from ScotCards to Other Web Sites
The Operators Privacy Policy addresses only the use and disclosure
of information we collect from you on the Site. You may
occasionally get cookies from businesses that advertise on the
site which the Operators do not control and when you link to the
Web sites of third party advertisers, for example through an
advertising banner, your use of those sites will be subject to the
privacy policies of such third parties, which may differ from the
Operators' Privacy Policy.
Your Acceptance of These Terms
By using the Site, you signify your consent to the collection and
use of personal information by the Operators as outlined in this
Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not
use our site. If we make any material changes to the Privacy
Policy, those changes will be posted on this page so that you are
always aware of what personal information the Operators collect,
how that information is used, and under what circumstances the
Operators disclose that information. Since this policy may change
from time to time, you should check back periodically. Your
continued use the Site following the posting of changes to these
terms will mean you accept those changes.
