Offersmylife - Privacy Policy
This
Privacy Policy outlines important information regarding the use and
disclosure of information collected via this Website.
Offersmylife provides this Privacy Policy to help users make an
informed decision as to whether to use or continue using the Website.
This Privacy Policy applies to Offersmylife’s collection, use, storage
and disclosure of information by Offersmylife on its (a) websites,
including all its divisions, subsidiaries and related companies
(collectively, the “Website”), (b) on various third party websites, and
(c) to Offersmylife’s other information collection, including the
purchase of customer lists from third parties. Offersmylife is not
responsible for the information collection or privacy practices of
third web sites or applications.
By reference, this Privacy Policy is incorporated into and is subject
to the Website Terms of Use. Your use of the Website and any personal
information you provide via the Website or through other official
Offersmylife contact remains subject to this Privacy Policy, as well as
the Terms of Use and/or other stated policies.
1. Collection of Information.
1.1 Survey Information.
Offersmylife collects information from individuals by various
methods, including, but not limited to, when an individual voluntarily
completes an Offersmylife survey, order form, or a registration page
either online or offline, or by means of online or offline surveys,
order forms, or registration pages operated by third parties
(collectively, a “Survey”). (As used herein, “online” means using the
Internet, including the Website, and related technologies, and
“offline” means by methods other than online, including in person, in
the postal mail, using telephones and cell phones, and other similar
means.) In the Surveys, Offersmylife or a third party (a “Third Party”)
may ask an individual to provide various information to Offersmylife,
which may include his or her name, email address, street address, zip
code, telephone numbers (including cell phone numbers and carriers),
SMS messaging details (e.g. date, time and content of the SMS message),
birth date, gender, salary range, education and marital status,
occupation, social security number, employment information, personal
and online interests, and such other information as may be requested
from time to time (together, “Survey Information”). Offersmylife may
also collect information concerning an individual from another source
and use that information in combination with information provided from
this Web Site. Completing the Surveys is completely voluntary, and
individuals are under no obligation to provide Survey Information to
Offersmylife or Third Party, but an individual may receive incentives
from Offersmylife or a Third Party in exchange for providing Survey
Information to Offersmylife.
1.2 Third Party List Information.
Offersmylife collects information from individuals when an individual
provides information to a Third Party and Offersmylife subsequently
purchases, licenses, or otherwise acquires the information from the
Third Party (the “Seller”). Such purchased information may include, but
is not limited to, an individual's name, email address, street address,
zip code, telephone numbers (including cell phone numbers and
carriers), SMS messaging details (e.g. date, time and content of the
SMS message), birth date, gender, salary range, education and marital
status, occupation, industry of employment, personal and online
interests, and such other information as the individual may have
provided to the Seller (together, “Third Party List Information”). When
acquiring Third Party List Information, Offersmylife seeks assurances
from the Seller that the Seller has a right to transfer the Third Party
List Information to Offersmylife and that the Seller has a right to
provide offers from advertisers to the individuals whose personal
information is included on the Seller's list.
1.3 Other Information.
Other occasions when Offersmylife obtains information from individuals
include (1) when an individual is making a claim for a prize or seeking
to redeem an incentive offered by Offersmylife or by a Third Party, (2)
when an individual requests assistance through Offersmylife’s customer
service department, and (3) when an individual voluntarily subscribes
to a Offersmylife service or newsletter (together, “Other Information”).
1.4 Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Info Collected Using Technology.
Offersmylife currently uses cookie and web beacon technology to
associate certain Internet-related information about an individual with
information about the individual in our database. Additionally,
Offersmylife may use other new and evolving sources of information in
the future (together, “Technology Information”).
(a) Cookies. A
cookie is a small amount of data stored on the hard drive of the
individual's computer that allows Offersmylife to identify the
individual with his or her corresponding data that resides in
Offersmylife’s database. You may read more about cookies at http://cookiecentral.com. Individuals who use the Website need to accept cookies in order to use all of the features and functionality of the Website.
(b) Web Beacons. A web beacon is
programming code that can be used to display an image on a web page (by
using an <img src=“x”> programming function -- see
http://truste.org for more information), but can also be used to
transfer an individual's unique user identification (often in the form
of a cookie) to a database and associate the individual with previously
acquired information about an individual in a database. This allows
Offersmylife to track certain web sites an individual visits online.
Web beacons are used to determine products or services an individual
may be interested in, and to track online behavioral habits for
marketing purposes. For example, Offersmylife might place, with the
consent of a Third Party website, a web beacon on the Third Party's
website where baseball products are sold. When Joe, an individual
listed in Offersmylife’s database, visits the fishing website,
Offersmylife receives notice by means of the web beacon that Joe
visited the baseball site, and Offersmylife would then update Joe's
profile with the information that Joe is interested in baseball.
Offersmylife may thereafter present offers of baseball related products
and services to Joe. In addition to using web beacons on web pages,
Offersmylife also uses web beacons in email messages sent to
individuals listed in Offersmylife’s database.
(c) New Technology. The
use of technology on the Internet, including cookies and web beacons,
is rapidly evolving, as is Offersmylife’s use of new and evolving
technology. As a result, Offersmylife strongly encourages individuals
to revisit this policy for any updates regarding its use of technology.
1.5 Outside Information.
Offersmylife may receive information about individuals from Third
Parties or from other sources of information outside of Offersmylife
including information located in public databases (“Outside
Information”).
1.6 Individual Information.
As used herein, Individual Information means Survey Information, Third
Party List Information, Other Information, Technology Information, and
Outside Information, and any other information Offersmylife gathers or
receives about individuals such as usage data, file transfer and
viewing data.
1.7 No Information Collected from Children.
Offersmylife will never knowingly collect any personal information
about children under the age of 13. If Offersmylife obtains actual
knowledge that it has collected personal information about a child
under the age of 13, that information will be immediately deleted from
our database. Because it does not collect such information,
Offersmylife has no such information to use or to disclose to Third
Parties. Offersmylife has designed this policy in order to comply with
the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”).
1.8 Credit Card Information.
Offersmylife may in certain cases collect credit card numbers and
related information, such as the expiration date of the card (“Credit
Card Information”) when an individual places an order from
Offersmylife. When the Credit Card Information is submitted to
Offersmylife, such information is encrypted and is protected with SSL
encryption software. Offersmylife will use the Credit Card Information
for purposes of processing and completing the purchase transaction, and
the Credit Card Information will be disclosed to Third Parties only as
necessary to complete the purchase transaction.
Log File Data: When users log-in to access their account, our servers
will automatically record and archive certain information that
web-browsers send whenever visiting a Website. These server logs may
include information vital to validating the user’s authorization to
access the account. Information, such as a Web request, Internet
Protocol (the “IP”) address, browser type, browser language, referring
pages, exit pages and visited URLs, platform type, click counts, pages
viewed and in what order, time spent, the date and time of the request,
and other important data is necessary to validate and authorize a
user’s entry and activity on the Website.

broaden its use at any time. As noted, Offersmylife may update this
policy from time to time. Offersmylife may use Individual Information
to provide promotional offers to individuals by means of email
advertising, telephone marketing, direct mail marketing, online banner
advertising, and package stuffers, among other possible uses.

2.2(a) Content of Email Messages.
In certain
commercial email messages sent by Offersmylife, an advertiser's name

As a result, statutes requiring certain formatting for unsolicited

Individual Information to provide customized content and advertising
via SMS messaging to an individual’s cell phone. Offersmylife is
not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Third
Parties.
2.6 Use of Technology Information.
Offersmylife uses Technology Information (1) to match a person's Survey
Information and Third Party List Information to other categories of
Individual Information to make and improve profiles of individuals, (2)
to track a person's online browsing habits on the Internet, (3) to
determine which areas of Offersmylife’s web sites are most frequently
visited. This information helps Offersmylife to better understand the
online habits of individuals so that Offersmylife can target
advertising and promotions to them.
2.7 Profiles of Individuals.
Offersmylife uses Individual Information to make a profile of an
individual. A profile can be created by combining Survey Information
and Third Party List Information with other sources of Individual
Information such as information obtained from public databases.
2.8 Storage of Individual Information.
Offersmylife stores the Individual Information in a database on
Offersmylife computers. Our computers have security measures (such as a
firewall) in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration
of the information under Offersmylife’s control. Not withstanding such
measures, Offersmylife cannot guarantee that its security measures will
prevent Offersmylife computers from being illegally accessed, and the
Individual Information on them stolen or altered.
