PRIVACY POLICY
BiteSizeTip.com strives to offer its visitors the many
advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalized
experience. We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail
address, street address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy
policy. We will never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any
unauthorized third party. Period."
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information
depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you
elect to participate and the services provided. For example, you may
be asked to provide information when you register for access to
certain portions of our site or request certain features, such as
newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide information
when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and
chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site. Like most Web
sites, BiteSizeTip.com also collects information
automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be
transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of
your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize
you and hold information from your visit. Among other things, the
cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from
having to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may
control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement
while visiting our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may
also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you
can choose not to provide us with information, for example by
setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you
may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be asked
to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able to
customize the site’s features according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect
information to enhance your visit and deliver more individualized
content and advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share
your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that
does not personally identify you) may be used in many ways. For
example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with
similar information obtained from other users to help enhance our
site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or
what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may
occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners.
Again, this information does not include any Personally Identifiable
Information about you or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable
Information collected on BiteSizeTip.com to communicate
with you about your registration and customization preferences; our
Terms of Service and privacy policy; services and products offered
by BiteSizeTip.com and other topics we think you might find
of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information
collected by BiteSizeTip.com may also be used for other
purposes, including but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions,
administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications
with you. Certain third parties who provide technical support for
the operation of our site (our Web hosting service for example) may
access such information. We will use your information only as
permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we continue to
develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other
companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information may
be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your
information in response to a court order, at other times when we
believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection
with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law
enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or
necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to
disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and
advertisements
BiteSizeTip.com expects its partners,
advertisers and affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be
aware, however, that third parties, including our partners,
advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible
through our site, may have their own privacy and data collection
policies and practices. For example, during your visit to our site
you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a BiteSizeTip.com page,
certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party.
Also, through BiteSizeTip.com you may be introduced to, or be able to
access, information, Web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes
offered by other parties. BiteSizeTip.com is not responsible for the
actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the
applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing
information on a feature or page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers,
promotional partners or other third parties may use cookies or other
technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or
retrieve information about you. For example, some of our advertising
is served by third parties and may include cookies that enable the
advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular
advertisement before. Other features available on our site may offer
services operated by third parties and may use cookies or other
technology to gather information. BiteSizeTip.com does not
control the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting
information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of
such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you
voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable Information on message
boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed publicly and
can be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and
may result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third
parties. Such activities are beyond the control of
BiteSizeTip.com and this policy.
