We have established this security and privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to let you know the kinds of personal information we may gather during your visit to the Website, why we gather your information, what we use your personal information for, when we might disclose your personal information, and how you can manage your personal information.
By visiting our Website, you are accepting the practices described in our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Website and exit immediately. We reserve the right to modify or amend the terms of our Privacy Policy from time to time without notice.

What Information Do We Collect?
One of the basic principles we've followed in designing this Website is that we ask for only the information we need to provide the service you've requested. As a result, the answer to this question depends almost entirely on how you choose to make use of our Website and our services.
Personal Information
You can access our Website and use many of our services without providing any information at all. In certain circumstances, Company may collect certain information that identifies you, such as your name, address or credit card information, as well as other individually-identifiable information that you provide to us or that we collect (“Personal Information”). Company collects such Personal Information from you only during (i) contest or sweepstakes registration, (ii) subscription registration for services that require a subscription, and (iii) online shopping. Registration is required and Personal Information is also collected in certain portions of the Website in which you specifically and knowingly provide such information, e.g. community postings (i.e., chat or bulletin boards), suggestions, or customer service requests.
Anonymous Information
Through your use of the Website, Company may also gather certain information that does not identify you individually (“Anonymous Information”). Generally, this information is collected through "traffic data" and may entail the use of "Cookies," "IP addresses" or other numeric codes used to identify a computer.
Newsletters
Company collects email addresses and zip codes of all users who subscribe to our newsletter. This information is not shared with any third parties for any purposes. Anyone who wishes to no longer receive this newsletter can, at any time, click on the “Unsubscribe” feature located within each newsletter.
Advertiser Giveaways and Contests
If you sign up to be eligible for a giveaway or contest on our Website sponsored or co-sponsored by someone other than Company, your Personal Information will be shared with the advertiser or sponsor of that giveaway or contest for one-time use to notify you if you have won. To the extent the giveaway or contest has its own terms that conflict with the terms of this Privacy Policy, the terms of the giveaway or contest will govern the use of your Personal Information. Personal Information will be collected only if you voluntarily submit it to our sponsors or us.
Policies for Children Under 13
We do not knowingly collect any information from persons under the age of 13 without parental consent. If we learn that any persons under the age of 13 have provided information about themselves, the information will be deleted. Our Website is not intentionally targeted to children under the age of 13. Children under the age of 13 should not use our Website without obtaining prior parental consent.
Co-Branded Services
We work closely with our partners to offer co-branded services. For privacy policies governing these types of services, please see the separate privacy policies within these sections. To the extent such policies conflict with the terms of this Privacy Policy, the terms of such other policy shall govern.
Use of Cookies
Company may use Cookies to provide some of the services on our Website. "Cookies" are pieces of information that a website transfers to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. "Cookies” make web-surfing easier for you by saving your passwords, purchases, and preferences while you're at our website. The use of "Cookies" is standard in the Internet industry, and many major websites use them to provide useful features for their users. "Cookies" in and of themselves do not personally identify users, although they do identify a user's computer. Our website never uses “Cookies” to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent in a “Cookie.” Except as described in this Privacy Policy, we do not use information transferred through “Cookies” for any promotional or marketing purposes, nor is that information shared with any third parties whatsoever. We do not use Cookies” to identify specific individuals, except in such cases as online shopping. You may occasionally get “Cookies” from our advertisers. We do not control these “Cookies,” and these “Cookies” are not subject to our “Cookie” policy.
How We Use the Information?
Except as disclosed in this Privacy Policy, we do not use or disclose information about your individual visits to our Website or your Personal Information that you may give us or we may collect to any companies not affiliated with Company. Company does not sell any customer lists or e-mail addresses
Feedback
Company may use your Personal Information to track your compliance with the Website’s rules and regulations, or for editorial and feedback purposes (to the extent that is explained when you provide the information). In the event Company plans to publicly post any of your Personal Information on a Website (as, for instance, a letter to the editor), you are provided prior notification of such posting and given the option of preventing such posting.
Use of Anonymous Information
Anonymous Information helps us determine how people use parts of the Website so we can improve our Website and ensure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many people as possible. We also use Anonymous Information to provide statistical "ratings" information in aggregated form to Company partners and other third parties about how our users collectively use the track10.com website. This information is also used to generate advertising rates. We may also use or share Anonymous Information (or other information, other than Personal Information) in any manner that we deem appropriate or necessary.
Third-party Agents
We occasionally have third party agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and joint ventures that perform functions on our behalf, such as credit card processing, shipping or stocking orders, providing customer service, etc. These entities have access to the Personal Information of yours needed to perform their functions, and are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of that Personal Information. They are restricted from using or altering this data in any way other than to provide the requested services to the Website.
Transactional partners
In some cases we partner with another company to co-promote their services within our Website. In these cases, you are transacting directly with the other party, and the Personal Information you enter on those services is shared both with that transactional partner and Company. On those pages requiring Personal Information, the transactional partner’s brand is clearly visible, and their privacy policy is posted. We encourage you to read it.
Emergency Situations
Company may also disclose Personal Information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to applicable law or comply with legal process served on Company or the Website; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Company, the Website or the users of Company, and (c) act under emergency circumstances to protect the personal safety of Company, the users of the Website or the public.
Links to Other Websites
This Privacy Policy applies only to Company and websites that carry the Company brand, not to other companies' or organizations' websites to which we link. These links include links from advertisers, sponsors and partners and are beyond our control. These other sites may send their own cookies to you, collect your data or solicit your personal information. Always be aware of where you end up. We are not responsible for the actions and privacy policies of third parties and other websites. We encourage you to read the posted privacy statement and user terms and conditions whenever interacting with any other website.
Security Policy
The importance of security for all Personal Information associated with you is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your PC to our servers. Personal Information collected by Company websites is stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public. In many instances, such as in the case of credit card numbers and all on-line purchases, the Personal Information is encrypted before you conduct your transaction. Only those employees who need access to your Personal Information in order to do their jobs are allowed access, each having signed confidentiality agreements. Any employee who violates our privacy and/or security policies is subject to disciplinary action, including possible termination and civil and/or criminal prosecution.
While we make reasonable efforts to safeguard your Personal Information once we receive it, no transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or information we transmit to you from our Website, and you do so at your own risk.
Public Areas, Chat Rooms and Newsgroups
Please remember that any information you share in public areas, such as message boards or feedback sections, becomes public, and therefore this Privacy Policy does not apply to any information you choose to make public. Please be careful about what you disclose and do not post any Personal Information that you expect to keep private.
Governing Law/Assignment
Our Website is published in the United States. U. S. law shall govern in any and all disputes, including privacy or defamation issues or otherwise.

As a result, please be aware that Company may transfer your information to another company that is affiliated with Company or with which Company has merged.

Changes

In the event that these additions affect our Privacy Policy, this document will be updated appropriately. We will post those changes prominently so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information and whether we will disclose it to anyone.
