Privacy Policy Our Commitment To Privacy Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested. The Information We collect: The Champion Group collects information from visitors and members who access the various parts of our network and services and the network of websites accessible through our service. We use this information primarily to provide a customized experience as you use our products and services, and generally do not share this information with third parties. However, we may disclose personal information collected if we have received your permission beforehand or in very special circumstances, such as we believe that such disclosure is required by law or special cases described below.Registration: Members may be asked to provide certain personal information when they sign up for our products and services including, name, address, phone number, billing information (such as credit card number), and the type of computer being used to access the services. The personal information collected from members during the registration process is used to manage each Members account (such as for billing purposes). This information is not shared with third parties, unless specifically stated otherwise or in special circumstances. However, in instances where our company and partner jointly promote our Services, we may provide certain personal information, such as name, address, and username of persons who subscribed to the services as a result of the joint promotion for the sole purpose of allowing us and the partner to access the results of the promotion. 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 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. Our Company 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. In these instances, you will be notified before such data is collected or transferred and may decide not to use that particular service or feature. Additionally, our partners may have advertisements or co-branded Web Pages that are co-sponsored by an Affiliate, independent contractor seller, or non-affiliated partner. Our company may share non-identifying and aggregate information (except as described above), but not personal information, with such partners in order to administer the co-branded products or services offered. 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 service and 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. In 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. Our company has no control over the third parties use or any personal information you provide when placing such an order. Please exercise care when doing so. If you order products or services directly from our company we will use the personal information you provide only to process that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order. Online Advertisements: Our Company may display our online advertisements. In those cases we share aggregated and non-identifying 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 aggregated and non-identifying information to be delivered tailored advertisements or joint ventures. For instance, an advertiser or joint venture company tells us the audience they want to reach and provides us an advertisement tailored to the audience. Based on the aggregate and non-identifying information we have collected, we may then display or send the advertisement to the intended audience. Our company does not share personal information about its Vendors and Members with these advertisers or joint venture companies. Responses to Email Inquiries: When Visitors or Members send email inquires to our company; the return email address is used to answer the email inquiry we receive. Our company does not use the return email address for any other purposes and does not share it with any third party. Voluntary Customer Surveys: We may periodically conduct business and personal surveys. We encourage our customers to participate in these surveys because they provide us with important information that helps us to improve on the types of products and services that we offer and how we provide them to you. Your personal information and responses will remain strictly confidential even if the survey is conducted by third party. Participation in our survey is voluntary. We may take this information we receive from individuals responding to the Customer Surveys and combine (or aggregate) it with these responses and of other customers we may have to create broader, generic responses to the survey questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education, employment, industry sector, or other demographic information). We then use aggregated information to improve the quality of services to you, and to develop new services and products. This aggregated; non-personally identifying information may be shared with third parties. Special Cases: It is our company’s policy to not to use or share the personal information about Visitors and Members in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated issues. However, we may disclose personal information about Visitors or Members, or information regarding your use of 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 action against someone who may be violating our Acceptable Use Policy or Terms of Service, or other users policies; to operate the Services Properly; or to protect our company and our members. “Cookies” and How Our Company Uses Them.
