Privacy Policy
Last Updated 02/01/2009
This Privacy Policy describes the manner in which Townmoneysaver.com® collects and uses information obtained through the Townmoneysaver.com website. This Privacy Policy applies only to the "online" collection and use of information through the Townmoneysaver.com website. This Privacy Policy does not describe the ways in which Town Money saver, Inc., which operates the Townmoneysaver.com website, may collect or use information obtained through means other than the Townmoneysaver.com website. Any questions regarding this Privacy Policy should be directed to Townmoneysaver.com at tms@townmoneysaver.com.
Collection and Use of Information
The information gathered by Townmoneysaver.com generally falls into one of two categories:
1. Information You Provide to Us. Townmoneysaver.com may collect and store information that you voluntarily supply either while on the Townmoneysaver.com website or in responding, via email, to a feature provided on the Townmoneysaver.com website. If you decide not to supply or provide Townmoneysaver.com with certain information while using the website, Townmoneysaver.com may not be able to provide you with some services that are dependent on the collection of this information. Some specific ways in which we collect and use information you supply to us include:
To make use of certain features of Townmoneysaver.com (such as coupon emails) a visitor needs to register and provide us with certain information. The registration form asks the visitor for his or her name, zip code, email address, and coupon category preferences. Your address is optional. The information you supply will help us to offer you more personalized features.
When you register on Townmoneysaver.com you may be asked whether you would like to receive information, updates, offers, or the Townmoneysaver.com email newsletter. The newsletter contains information about new coupons available on Townmoneysaver.com and occasionally provides notices of special events. If you do not wish to receive the Townmoneysaver.com email newsletter, simply select the "opt-out" contained in the e-mail.
2. Information that is Automatically Collected. Townmoneysaver.com also collects and stores information that is generated automatically as you navigate through the Townmoneysaver.com website. For example, to enhance your experience on the Townmoneysaver.com website, Townmoneysaver.com uses a standard feature found in Internet browser software called a "cookie". Cookies are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for record keeping purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the Townmoneysaver.com website, cookies help track user trends and patterns. They also prevent you from having to re-enter your preferences on certain areas of the Townmoneysaver.com website where you have entered preference information before. Another example of information that Townmoneysaver.com automatically collects, but does not store, as you navigate the Townmoneysaver.com website is limited information about your connection to the Internet, including your IP address. (Your IP address is a number that lets computers attached to the Internet know where to send you data.) Your IP address does not identify you personally. We use the information we automatically collect to deliver our web pages to you upon request, to tailor our sites to the interests of our users, and to measure traffic within our website.
To make the site more valuable to our visitors, occasionally we may offer some additional features in conjunction with other third party service providers. Accordingly, we may make your information available to these third party service providers. Townmoneysaver.com will not disclose the information that it collects online from you to allow third parties to use such information to mail or email other promotional offers directly to you unless you have permitted Townmoneysaver.com to disclose such information for the purposes of receiving promotional offers from such third parties. If you choose to receive these promotional offers, then your information may be used for direct mail or email marketing. In addition, the Townmoneysaver.com website includes links to other sites and provides access to products and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies are separate from this Privacy Policy. When you provide information in the course of obtaining third party products or services through Townmoneysaver.com, the use of any information you provide may be governed by the privacy policy of the provider of those third party products or services, even if it appears that you are on Townmoneysaver.com-branded pages throughout the transaction. The third party provider's privacy policy may differ from ours and you should contact the third party provider if you have any questions about its privacy practices. Please take special care at all times to be aware of which privacy policy governs your activity on the Internet.
We may, at times, present information to our advertisers, but only in the form of aggregated statistics on traffic to various pages within Townmoneysaver.com. Townmoneysaver.com does not sell to, or share with, third parties, any personably identifiable information of its members.
Other Disclosures
We may occasionally release information about our visitors in order to comply with law, to enforce our Visitor Agreement, or to protect the rights, property, safety of visitors to our site, or customers, the public or Townmoneysaver.com. As our business grows, we may buy or sell various assets. In the unlikely event that another company acquires Townmoneysaver.com, one of its lines of business, or substantially all of its assets, information on our visitors would be among the transferred assets.
Protection of Your Information
All information gathered on our site is stored within a Townmoneysaver.com-controlled database accessible only to Townmoneysaver.com. However, as effective as any security measure may be, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that information you supply won't be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We are continually making changes and improvements to the services we offer through Townmoneysaver.com. If we need to change our Privacy Policy at some point in the future, we will post the changes before they take effect. If you have any questions about the Townmoneysaver.com Privacy Policy, please contact tms@townmoneysaver.com.
