last updated April 10, 2008
ADLOT respects the
privacy of its customers and visitors and is committed to protecting the
personal information of its customers and visitors. This Privacy Policy
covers the site http://bizsolutions.adlot.com. We collect no personally
identifiable information about you when you visit our site unless you
choose to provide that information to us or as specifically outlined in
this Policy. This Policy is incorporated into and subject to the Terms
of Use (“TOU”) Agreement found at
http://bizsolutions.adlot.com/services/terms.asp.
This Policy describes our general principles for the collection and use
of information from customers and visitors to our Web sites. We want to
ensure that you understand how we will and will not use the information
you entrust to us. In order to fully understand your rights we encourage
you to read this Policy.
For visitors, we've structured our Web sites so that, in general, you
can visit us on Web without identifying yourself or revealing any
personal information.
For prospective and existing customers and partners, once you choose to
provide us personally identifiable information (any information by which
you can be identified), you can be assured that it will only be used to
support your relationship with ADLOT.
What type of information does ADLOT collect?
When you visit our Web site, our Web server collects basic user
information about you that includes your ISP's domain, the time you
accessed our Web site, and the pages from within our Web site that you
visit and is not personally identifiable information except as needed to
prevent fraud or abuse of the system.
When you sign up for ADLOT's services, you provide us with both contact
and payment information. Contact information typically includes your
name, address, and phone number. Payment information typically includes
your credit card number.
While you are a ADLOT customer, we manage information with regard to
your account status, choice of services, and customer logs. In addition,
we may store customers' electronic mail and other communications as a
necessary incident to the transmission and delivery of those
communications.
Surveys or Contests
From time-to-time, we may provide you the opportunity to participate in
contests or surveys on our site. If you participate, we will request
certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in
these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have
a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested
information typically includes contact information (such as name and
shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code).
We use this information to notify contest winners and award prizes, to
monitor site traffic or personalize the site (in the case of anonymous
information collected in surveys), to send participants an email
newsletter.
We may use a third party service provider to conduct these surveys or
contests; that company will be prohibited from using our users’
personally identifiable information for any other purpose including
their own marketing. We will not share the personally identifiable
information you provide through a contest or survey with other third
parties unless we give you prior notice and choice.
How do we use this information?
We use the contact information you provide us to establish our service
for you. We use payment information for payment processing purposes
only. We create and maintain other information such as customer account
status, choice of services, and customer logs in the normal course of
providing service. By pressing the “submit” button, each visitor
constitutes consent to use the information for purposes stated in this
Policy.
ADLOT may use customer information to provide customers with system
information or information about new or upgraded products if you have
chosen to receive such offers. You may opt out of receiving these offers
by changing your preferences in your account information or by following
the unsubscribe instructions in each email sent to you.
Our trusted affiliates are responsible for processing or handling some
of the information we receive, such as order fulfillment for phone
services. Those affiliates are not authorized to use such information
for purposes beyond those specified by us including marketing and are
required to preserve the confidentiality with which we treat such
information.
We may disclose contact information with your permission when gathering
and posting testimonials.
We will not otherwise disclose customer personal and account information
unless we have reason to believe that disclosing such information is
necessary to identify, make contact with, or bring legal action against
someone who may be causing harm or interfering with the rights or
property of ADLOT, our customers, or others. We may provide information
to regulatory authorities and law enforcement officials in accordance
with applicable laws, respond to legal process, or where ADLOT has a
good faith belief that the law requires such disclosure.
ADLOT also will not disclose to third parties the contents of any
electronic mail or other electronic communications that ADLOT stores or
transmits for its customers except where: (a) it is a matter or public
safety or policy; (b) it is in connection with the transfer of other
business assets; (c) it is required to cooperate with orders, warrants,
or other legal process that ADLOT determines in its sole discretion to
be valid and enforceable; and (d) it is necessary to provide to a law
enforcement agency when the contents are inadvertently obtained by ADLOT
and appear to pertain to the commission of a crime.
ADLOT disclaims any intention to censor, edit, or engage in ongoing
review or surveillance of communications stored on or transmitted
through its facilities by customers or others. ADLOT will, however,
review, delete, or block access to communications that may harm ADLOT,
its customers or third parties. The grounds on which ADLOT may take such
action include, but are not limited to, actual or potential violations
of the TOU.
Please note that ADLOT may use this information collected to direct
service notices as well as provide you with other general information
that may be of interest to you and information about our services or
product offerings that you have opted to receive, as well as other
important information regarding your account or services at our
discretion. You may not opt our of receiving service related email
communications.

using the unsubscribe instructions included in each promotional
communication, or by changing your email preferences on the site within
your Account information. In this request, customers must identify their
domain name and contact information. Customers may not opt out of
receiving information from ADLOT which is essential for maintaining or
updating customers account or system information.
Third Party Advertising and Cookies
The basic user information collected is used to help us analyze Web
traffic, improve the content of our Web site and improve your experience
on our Web site.
We do not trade, rent or sell your personal information to others,
except as detailed in this Policy. We currently contract with several
online partners who use the data only on our behalf to help manage and
optimize our Internet business and communications. We use the services
of a marketing company to help us measure the effectiveness of our
advertising and how visitors use our site. To do this, we use Action
Tags and cookies provided by our marketing company on this site. The
information collected by the marketing company through the use of Action
Tags and cookies is not personally identifiable. We have no access or
control over these third party cookies or action tags. The information
they collect and share with us helps us learn things like what kinds of
customers our site attracts, which of our products most interest our
customers, and what kinds of offers our customers like to see. Although
our marketing company logs the information coming from our site on our
behalf, we control how that data may and may not be used.
We use other third parties to provide credit card processing services on
our site. When you purchase a service or product from us we will share
contact and credit card information as necessary for the third party to
provide that service.
These third parties are prohibited from using your personally
identifiable information for any other purpose including their own
marketing services.
We may at times also use cookies, which are small pieces of information
that a Web site can store in a designated file on your computer. Cookies
allow a Web application to respond to you as an individual. Our cookies
are tied to your personally identifiable informant for this purpose. By
gathering and remembering information about your preferences, the Web
application can tailor its operation to your needs, likes, and dislikes.
Most web browsers allow you to control this use of cookies. Please take
a look at your particular browser for instructions on this function. If
you elect to disable cookies, please keep in mind that you will not be
able to take full advantage of a personalized experience on our Web
site. It is possible that some portions of the site will not function
properly or may perform more slowly if you choose to reject cookies.
Our Web site may allow for a chat function. Chat functions allow you to
participate in “live” online conversations with us on our Web site.
Although the transcripts from the chats may be stored internally on
in-house servers for our records only, we collect no personally
identifiable information about you when you participate unless you
choose to provide that information to us.
How Can I access my personal information?
You can access your personal information, such as your address and
contact information, at anytime to correct, change or delete any of the
data shared with us when you became a customer of ADLOT. As a customer
of ADLOT you can access your personal information by clicking on the
“Hosting Customer Login” link at the top of any Web page. Your account
information is secure and is accessible by using a password that you

information you can

ADLOT will respond to access requests within 30 days.
Security
ADLOT has security measures in place to help prevent the loss, misuse
and alteration of the information under our control. When you place an
order online, your information, including your credit card number, is
protected using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology (PayPal
merchant). This encrypts order data and is designed to aid in ensuring
the accuracy and security of that customer information.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal
information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we
receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of
electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive
to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal
information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
If you have any questions about security on our Web site, you can send
email us.
Links
Our Web site provides links to other Web sites, sites that may be
maintained by companies that are not affiliates of ours. We are not
responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites
and we encourage you to use caution. In particular, we recommend that
you view the privacy policy posted on each site to confirm the sites
policies are acceptable to you. This Policy applies solely to
information collected by this Web site.
Children’s Privacy
ADLOT does not sell products or services for purchase by children.
Customers must be at least 18 years of age. Any individual under the age
of 18 (“Minor”) must have a parent or guardian accept the TOU in order
for the Minor to become a Customer. If you are under 18, we strongly
encourage you to use our Web site only with the involvement of a parent
or guardian.
Changes to our Policy
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to
this privacy statement, the home page, and other places we deem
appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we
use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so
please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy,
we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a prominent notice on
our home page.
