Use of Cookies
BIZOOT may use
"cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a
text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies
cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.
Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server
in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary
purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time.
For example, if you personalize BIZOOT's pages, or register with BIZOOT
sites or services, a cookie helps BIZOOT to recall your specific
information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording
your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses,
and so on. When you return to BIZOOT, the information you previously
provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the BIZOOT features that
you customized.
You have the ability
to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept
cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline
cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be
able to fully experience the interactive features of the BIZOOT services
or Web sites you visit.
A cookie is a piece
of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user.
For the session ID
cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates.
A persistent cookie
is a small text file stored on the user's hard drive for an extended
period of time.
Persistent cookies
can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.
You can set your
browser to notify you to either accept or deny the cookie according to the
following information.

At some sites,
BIZOOT collects personal information, such as your e-mail address, name,
home or work address or telephone number. BIZOOT may also collect
demographic information, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences,
interests and favorites. Information collected by BIZOOT may be combined
with information obtained from other BIZOOT services and other companies.

access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by
BIZOOT for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the
service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of BIZOOT.
BIZOOT keeps track
of the pages our customers visit within BIZOOT, in order to determine what
BIZOOT sites and services are the most popular. This data is also used by
BIZOOT to deliver customized content and advertising to customers whose
behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
BIZOOT encourages
you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to
from BIZOOT so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use
and share your information. BIZOOT is not responsible for the privacy
statements or other content on Web sites outside of the BIZOOT and BIZOOT
family of Web sites.
Use of your Personal
Information
BIZOOT and its
operational service partners collect and use your personal information to
operate BIZOOT and deliver the services you have requested. BIZOOT also
uses your personal information to inform you of other products or services
available from BIZOOT and its affiliates. BIZOOT may also contact you via
surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of
potential new services that may be offered.
BIZOOT does not
sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. BIZOOT may, from
time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a
particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your
personal information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not
transferred to the third party.
We occasionally hire
other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as
handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer
support, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of
our services. We will only provide those companies the personal
information they need to deliver the service. They are required to
maintain the confidentiality of your information and are prohibited from
using that information for any other purpose.
BIZOOT does not use
or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or
political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
BIZOOT may access
and/or disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or
in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to
the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on BIZOOT or the
site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of BIZOOT, including
its BIZOOT family of Web sites; or (c) act under exigent circumstances to
protect the personal safety of users of BIZOOT, its web sites, or the
public.
Personal information
collected on this site may be stored and processed in any other country in
which BIZOOT or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain
facilities, and by using this site, you consent to any such transfer of
information outside of your country.

the delivery of future promotional e-mail from BIZOOT by following the
specific instructions in the e-mail you receive. The instructions explain
how to stop receiving such e-mails.
There are some
BIZOOT services that send out periodic e-mails informing you of technical
service issues, product surveys, new feature announcements and news about
BIZOOT products and services. You will not be able to unsubscribe to these
mailings, as they are considered a part of the service you have chosen.
Security of your
Personal Information
BIZOOT is committed
to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety
of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal
information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we
store the personal information you provide on computer systems with
limited access, that are located in controlled facilities. When we
transmit highly confidential information (such as a credit card number)
over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as
the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Use of Third Party
Ad Networks
The majority of the
online banner advertisements you see on BIZOOT Web pages are displayed by
BIZOOT.
In addition, BIZOOT
may allow other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks,
to display advertisements on BIZOOT Web pages. Some of these ad networks
may place a persistent cookie on your computer. Doing this allows the ad
network to recognize your computer each time they send you an online
advertisement. In this way, ad networks may compile information about
where you, or others who are using your computer, saw their advertisements
and determine which ads are clicked on. This information allows an ad
network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of
most interest to you. BIZOOT does not have access to or control of the
cookies that may be placed by the third-party ad servers or ad networks.

Statement of Privacy
If you have
questions regarding this statement, you should first contact BIZOOT via
e-mail.

occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and
customer feedback. When BIZOOT posts changes to this Statement, you will
see the word "updated" next to the Privacy Statement link on the front
page of BIZOOT. If there are material changes to this Statement or in how
BIZOOT will use your personal information, BIZOOT will prominently post
such changes prior to implementing the change. BIZOOT encourages you to
periodically review this Statement to be informed of how BIZOOT is
protecting your information.
