Planetweb's Privacy Policy - An Overview

Planetweb, Inc. is committed to protecting the privacy of consumers using Planetweb software and services. Planetweb wants to provide a safe and secure browsing and shopping experience for consumers, and in particular, ensure that children are protected.

This privacy policy applies to the Planetweb appliance browsing software and the Planetweb.com site and all of the other Planetweb branded services, including Parental Control. The purpose of this privacy policy is to inform you, as a Planetweb consumer, what kinds of information we may gather about you when you use Planetweb products, how we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct, the information. Finally, please note that this policy applies only to Planetweb products and web sites that carry the Planetweb brand, and not to other companies' or organizations' web sites to which we link. We have clearly marked Planetweb products and these branded products and web sites with our logo so you know where this policy applies.

Information about All Planetweb.com Visitors

In general, our service automatically gathers certain usage information like the numbers and frequency of visitors to Planetweb.com and its areas, very much like television ratings that tell the networks how many people tuned in to a program. We only use such data in the aggregate. This collective data helps us determine how much our customers use parts of the site, so we can improve our site to assure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many of you as possible. For example, Planetweb.com uses a technology nicknamed "cookies" that tells us how and when pages in our site are visited, and by how many people. Planetweb.com cookies do not collect personally identifiable information. We also may provide statistical "ratings" information, never information about you personally, to our Planetweb.com partners about how our users, collectively, use Planetweb.com. We do this so they too can understand how much people use their areas and our site in order for them to provide you with the best possible web experience as well.

Information about You

Sometimes, we may specifically ask for information about you when you sign up to use a service, like Planetweb Parental Control, when you order a product, or when you register for a special Planetweb promotion. We will need certain information -- such as name, Internet address, billing address, type of computer, credit card number -- in order to provide that service or product to you. We may also use that information to let you know of additional products and services about which you might be interested. You can choose not to receive such information if you don't want to by letting us know on the registration page when you sign up for the product or service, or when you register for the promotion. We may ask you for information about your interests so that both you and we can take advantage of the interactivity of the online medium, but you may always choose to respond or not. Additionally, we may provide you with an opportunity to be listed in a directory on one of our Planetweb branded services -- these listings are also optional and you can make changes to or eliminate this information when you want to.

Disclosure

We do not use or disclose information about your individual visits to Planetweb.com or information that you may give us, such as your name, address, email address or telephone number, to any outside companies. But as we mention above, we may share with our web site partners aggregated statistical "ratings" information about the use of Planetweb.com.

Planetweb may disclose information when acting under a good faith belief that such action is necessary to: 1) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process; 2) protect or defend the rights or property of Planetweb, Inc.

Special Attention to Kids

Planetweb, Inc. takes special care to protect the safety and privacy of young people using our services. We do not specifically collect information about children and believe that children should get their parents' consent before giving out any personal information. We encourage you to participate in your child's experience in cyberspace and to review our important safety tips before your child explores the Internet. We also encourage you and your child to visit Planetweb's Parental Control area, which provides access to age-appropriate content available on the Web. Planetweb also recommends that parents use Planetweb's Parental Control to supervise their kids' access to the web.

Public Forums

This site makes chat rooms, forums, and message boards available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.

Planetweb Privacy Policy Changes

If we decide to change our privacy policy for Planetweb, we will post those changes here so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information and whether we will disclose it to anyone.
