PLEASE READ THIS POLICY CAREFULLY

By accessing or using Our Sites, you acknowledge that your use is governed by this Privacy Policy and the accompanying Terms and Conditions of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, please discontinue your use of Our Sites immediately.

Types of Information We Collect:

We collect two main types of information:

  1. Personal Information: This includes information that identifies you personally, such as your name, address, email, or phone number. You may provide this information voluntarily when you register for online discussions, subscribe, place an order, complete a survey, or engage in other transactions on Our Sites.
  2. Non-Personal Information: This includes data that does not directly identify you, such as usage patterns, preferences, and other anonymous details collected as users navigate Our Sites or use our services. In some instances, this information may be collected by agents, affiliates, or business partners of Paradise Web LLC.

Third-party providers featured on Our Sites, such as vendors offering products or services, may also collect similar types of information.

We Respect Your Privacy

We do not sell your personal information, including names, email addresses, or other details, to third parties such as advertisers, unless you have explicitly granted permission. For example, you may provide consent when registering for contests, surveys, specific services, or requesting additional information. Additional details about these practices are provided below.

Registration Information:

To access certain features and services on Our Sites, you may need to register and provide specific information. During the registration process, we may ask for details such as your name, email address, age, zip code, or payment information (e.g., credit card number) for particular transactions. Additionally, you may be asked about your interests in topics like sports, leisure activities, or professional areas of interest.

Third-party advertisers on Our Sites may also invite you to participate in surveys, receive updates, or engage with other offers. Information you provide during these interactions helps us deliver more personalized features, improve our sites, and process transactions. Providing this information is entirely voluntary. However, declining to share certain information may limit the services or opportunities available to you.

By registering, you agree that we (or the advertiser with which you register) may use your information to:

  • Contact you for customer service purposes.
  • Inform you about changes or additions to Our Sites or services.
  • Send administrative notices or other relevant communications regarding your use of Our Sites.

If you have questions or concerns about how your information is used, please feel free to contact us.

Email Alerts and Newsletters:

We may offer you the option to subscribe to email alerts and newsletters about topics we think might interest you. If you choose to subscribe, you can unsubscribe at any time. For details on how to opt out, see the “Opting Out” section below.

Contests and Other Promotions:

From time to time, we or our advertisers may offer contests, sweepstakes, giveaways, or other promotions on Our Sites. Participation in these promotions may require you to provide personal information such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address. This information is used to contact you if you win and may be shared with corporate affiliates or co-sponsors of the promotion. Co-sponsors will be clearly identified in the official rules associated with the promotion.

Participation in these promotions is entirely voluntary. If you choose not to provide the requested information, you may not be able to participate in the promotion or claim any associated rewards. By entering a contest, sweepstake, giveaway, or promotion, you agree that we or the co-sponsors may use your information for the purposes stated above. If you have concerns about how your information will be used, please review the official rules or contact us directly.

On-line Chats, Photos, Videos, Comments and Other User Generated Data:

If you participate in a chat, post a comment on a news story, blog, or other forum, or use guest books on Our Sites, your contributions will be public because they are published on the web. If you include personal information such as your name, phone number, or email in these contributions, that information will also become public. To protect your privacy, avoid posting personal information in these areas.

Additionally, any photos, videos, or other visual or audio content you upload or submit to Our Sites will also become public once posted. Please ensure that you are comfortable sharing this content publicly before submission.

We do not edit user-generated content and reserve the right to remove material only if, in our sole discretion, we deem it unsuitable for publication. This policy helps maintain the integrity of our platforms while allowing users to share freely within reasonable guidelines.

Shopping:

We offer a variety of shopping opportunities through our websites. When you make a purchase, you’ll be asked to provide contact details and billing information, either directly to us or to a third-party order fulfillment service. In some cases, additional details like your date of birth may be requested for identity verification.

The information you provide will be used to process your transaction and communicate with you about your purchase. To facilitate the transaction, third-party fulfillment services may also access this information. Rest assured, we do not sell or rent your personal billing information. However, with your explicit consent (e.g., by checking a box), we may share your basic contact details with third parties or use it ourselves to inform you about other products or services that might interest you.

Links to Other Third Party Websites:

We do not have control over the privacy policies of third-party websites linked in our editorial content or advertisements. If you choose to provide personal information, including credit card details, to these third-party sites, your data will be stored on their servers and governed by their privacy policies.

We encourage sites with which we have business relationships to clearly display a link to their privacy policies. This helps you understand how your personal information may be used. We recommend reviewing these policies carefully and contacting the website operator directly if you have any questions or concerns.

Important Notice about Children’s Privacy:

Children must have parental permission before sharing any personal information online, including with us. If you are under 16 years old, please do not provide us with any personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, physical address, or phone number.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 16 without first obtaining verified consent from a parent or guardian. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected such information without proper consent, we will take immediate action to delete it.

Opting Out:

If you have registered with us or subscribed to alerts or newsletters, you can unsubscribe at any time, typically by clicking the “unsubscribe” link included in our emails. However, removing your registration information may prevent you from continuing to use services that require registration.

If you wish to stop receiving notifications, updates, or other communications, please contact us using the information provided at the registration or subscription location.

For information submitted through pages connected to third-party business affiliates or advertisers, your details may be jointly managed by us and those entities. If you opt out on our site, you may also need to contact the third party directly to have your information removed from their database.

Cookies:

Our websites use “cookies,” small data files sent to and stored on your computer, containing a unique random number that serves as a “user ID.” Cookies do not personally identify you; they identify the device you use to access our sites. Unless you voluntarily provide personal information (e.g., during registration), we will not know your identity even if your device is assigned a cookie.

We use cookies for various purposes, including site administration, fulfilling user requests, performing analysis, and supporting research and development. Advertisers and third parties providing goods or services through our websites may also assign their own cookies, which we do not control. Rest assured, cookies cannot access unrelated data on your hard drive and only help enhance your browsing experience by tailoring content to your interests.

You can configure most browsers to block cookies if you prefer. However, doing so may prevent access to personalized features on our sites or result in repetitive advertisements during your visit. The choice to accept or reject cookies is entirely yours.

Other Information:

Our servers automatically collect basic details about your computer’s configuration, such as your browser type, operating system, monitor resolution, referring website, and IP address. An IP address is a numerical identifier assigned to a device connected to the Internet. While it helps us deliver requested data (like the web pages you want to view), it does not reveal your personal identity—only the device being used.

We use this information for system administration, delivering web pages, tailoring advertisements to user interests, and analyzing site traffic. To enhance the relevance of ads displayed on our sites, we may share non-personally identifiable information with advertising networks. This helps us make our websites more engaging and useful for our users.

Third-Party Ad Servers:

We partner with third-party advertising companies to display ads on our websites. These companies use advanced advertising technologies to deliver targeted ads based on information about your visits to our sites. Advertisers may also use their own third-party technologies to target ads on our sites and across other websites.

As part of this process, unique third-party cookies may be placed in your browser. Additionally, we may use web beacons (also known as action tags, pixel tags, or clear GIFs) provided by third-party advertisers to manage and optimize our advertising efforts. Web beacons help us identify browser cookies, track visits to our sites, and determine which banner ads successfully bring users to our platforms.

Aggregated and Statistical Information:

We do not share personally identifiable information about you with our advertisers, except as outlined above. However, we may aggregate your information with data from other users to provide advertisers with insights into our audience demographics and behavior. For example, we might inform advertisers about the percentage of our users who are male or female, live in specific zip codes, or share common interests.

This aggregated or statistical data about user traffic and preferences helps advertisers understand the audiences our sites reach, without revealing any individual user’s identity.

Other Disclosures:

We may disclose user information to law enforcement or other parties as required to comply with applicable

Security:

In certain sections of our site, such as the Classified Ads area, you may provide additional personal information, including your address or credit card details when making a purchase. To protect this information, we implement safeguards like encryption to secure the data stored on our systems.

While we strive to maintain robust security measures, no system is entirely immune to unauthorized activities by third parties. As with any online platform, there is always some risk, but we are committed to taking all reasonable steps to protect your personal information.

Changes to our Policy:

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our business practices. Any updates will take effect once they are posted. Please check this page regularly for any important changes.
