THE
INFORMATION COLLECTION, USE AND DISSEMINATION PRACTICES OF CPALead.
1.
Collection of Information.
1.1
Survey Information
CPALead collects information from individuals by various methods,
including, but not limited to, when an individual voluntarily
completes a 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 Websites, 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, CPALead or a Third Party (a
"Third Party") may ask an individual to provide various
information to CPALead, which may include his or her name, email
address, street address, zip code, telephone numbers (including cell
phone numbers and carriers), 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"). CPALead may also collect information concerning
an individual from another source and uses 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 CPALead or Third Party,
but an individual may receive incentives from CPALead or a Third
Party in exchange for providing Survey Information to CPALead.
1.2
Site Membership or Registration
To
the extent registration is required to receive email and possibly
postal communications from CPALead or a Third Party Advertiser, this
Privacy Policy also applies to consumers that have agreed to receive
e-mail marketing from CPALead or a Third Party Advertiser, whether
at our Website, via email, on Third Party websites or otherwise. We
collect information in certain portions of our Website, where guests
provide content submissions and suggestions or participate in
interactive online activities (i.e., by way of responding to
questions and surveys, community listings, ratings, searches and
comparison searches, bidding, purchasing, chat, games, or bulletin
boards, etc.). The personal profile information you submit to CPALead or Third Party Advertisers remains your property, but by
submitting that information to CPALead or Third Party Advertisers,
you grant CPALead and/or Third Party Advertisers, the right to use
that information for marketing purposes. CPALead or Third Party
Advertisers may also use such information for content improvement and
feedback purposes. We may sell the personal information that you
supply to us and we may join together with other businesses to bring
selected retail opportunities to you. These businesses may include
providers of direct marketing services and applications, including
lookup and reference, data enhancement, suppression and validation.
In addition, CPALead reserves the right to release current or past
information in the event CPALead believes that the information is
being or has been used in violation of the Rules or to commit
unlawful acts, if the information is subpoenaed, if CPALead is sold
or acquired, or when CPALead deems it necessary or appropriate. By
agreeing to these terms, you hereby consent to disclosure of any
record or communication to any Third Party when CPALead in its sole
discretion, determines the disclosure to be
appropriate.
"Subscription" occurs when an end-user
registers for CPALead's and/or Third Party Advertisers' services,
either via registration at our website, via co-registration at a
marketing partner's website, or via a permission pass / opt-out /
no-opt mailing CPALead collects personally identifiable information
about our subscribers, based on: information gathered at the time of
registration, subscriber interaction and response to subsequent
electronic mailings and website use, information provided by
marketing partners, and information appended from data aggregators.
Information collected may include, but is not necessarily limited to:
name, email address, postal address, gender, birth date, telephone
number, activity, interests, user behavior and other demographic
information. This information enables us to better tailor our content
to subscribers' needs and to help our clients to promote and sell
their products and services.
1.3
Third Party List Information
CPALead collects information from individuals when an individual
provides information to a Third Party and CPALead 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), 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, CPALead seeks assurances from the Seller that the Seller has a right to
transfer the Third Party List Information to CPALead 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.
1.4
Other Information.
Other
occasions when CPALead obtains information from individuals include
(1) when an individual is making a claim for a prize or seeking to
redeem an incentive offered by CPALead or by a Third Party, (2) when
an individual requests assistance through CPALead's customer service
department, (3) when an individual voluntarily subscribes to a
service or newsletter; (4) when private information is provided by
means of a referral by a third party to CPALead or a Third Party
Advertiser (together, "Other Information").
1.5
Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Info Collected using Technology.
CPALead 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, CPALead 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 CPALead to identify the
individual with his or her corresponding data that resides in CPALead's database. You may read more about cookies at
http://cookiecentral.com. Individuals who use the Websites need to
accept cookies in order to use all of the features and functionality
of the Websites.
a.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 CPALead to track certain websites 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, CPALead
might place, with the consent of a Third Party website, a web beacon
on the Third Party's website where cosmetics are sold. When Jane, an
individual listed in CPALead's database, visits the cosmetic
website, CPALead receives notice by means of the web beacon that
Jane visited the cosmetics site, and CPALead would then update
Jane's profile with the information that Jane is interested in
cosmetics. CPALead may thereafter present offers of cosmetic
related products and services to Jane. In addition to using web
beacons on web pages, CPALead also uses web beacons in email
messages sent to individuals listed in CPALead's database.
a.New
Technology.
The
use of technology on the Internet, including cookies and web
beacons, is rapidly evolving, as is CPALead's use of new and
evolving technology. As a result, CPALead strongly encourages
individuals to revisit this policy for any updates regarding its use
of technology.
a.Usage
Tracking.
CPALead tracks information related to the electronic mailings and web
pages viewed by users and subscribers, as well as the hyperlinks
clicked by subscribers, while viewing our emails or visiting our
websites.
a.Log
Files.
Log
files are used to track and monitor subscriber usage.
a.Optional
Registration.
CPALead may offer free voluntary registration to potential subscribers.
During such registration, the subscriber is required to supply an
email address and other personal information. This information is
required if the subscriber wants to participate in Company services
or Third Party Services.
a.Feedback
and Inquiries.
You
have the ability to contact CPALead to provide us with your
feedback. CPALead uses this information to respond to you and
analyze customer service issues.
1.6
Outside Information
CPALead may receive information about individuals from Third Parties or
from other sources of information outside of CPALead including
information located in public databases ("Outside Information").
1.7
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 CPALead gathers
or receives about individuals.
1.8
No Information Collected from Children.
CPALead will never knowingly collect any personal information about
children under the age of 18. If CPALead obtains actual knowledge
that it has collected personal information about a child under the
age of 18, that information will be immediately deleted from our
database. Because it does not collect such information, CPALead has
no such information to use or to disclose to Third Parties. CPALead
has designed this policy in order to comply with the Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA").
1.9
Credit Card Information.
CPALead 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 CPALead. When the Credit Card Information is submitted to
CPALead, such
information is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption
software. CPALead 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. Although CPALead takes all
commercially reasonable action to protect Credit Card Information,
you ultimately assume the risk of any damage or loss as a result of
transmitting such information to CPALead, including but not limited
to, identify theft, credit card fraud or credit card loss.
1.10
Links to External Websites.
CPALead's emails and websites contain links to external websites. You
will be taken to external websites if you click on these links. Your
information may be passed from CPALead's database to the external
website, and/or external database, for your convenience (e.g. your
information may be used to pre-fill a form at a destination website).
CPALead is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of
any external website owner. We encourage you to review the privacy
policy of any website they visit.
2.
Use of Individual Information.
2.1
Discretion of Information.
THE
COMPANY MAY USE INDIVIDUAL INFORMATION FOR ANY LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE
PURPOSE IN COMPANY'S SOLE DISCRETION.
The
following paragraphs in Section 2 describe how CPALead currently
uses Individual Information, but CPALead may change or broaden its
use at any time. As noted below, CPALead may update this policy from
time to time. CPALead 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
Email and Unsubscribe Policy.
CPALead uses Individual Information to provide promotional offers by
email to individuals. CPALead may maintain separate email lists for
different purposes. If email recipients wish to end their email
subscription from a particular list, they need to follow the
instructions at the end of each email message to unsubscribe from the
particular list. To unsubscribe from all CPALead's email lists, a
person must send an email to network@cpalead.com.
CPALead's unsubscribe process impacts only the future delivery of
electronic mailings disseminated by CPALead on its own behalf. You
may still receive electronic mailings sent on behalf of Third Parties
and your personal information may still be shared with Third Parties
for use in offline marketing and data appends, including email
appends.
You
should also note that unsubscribing from CPALead's electronic
mailings will not automatically unsubscribe the subscriber's
information from any Third Party associates and licensees of the
data. Since Third Party associates and licensee partners maintain
separate databases from CPALead, and you will need to unsubscribe
from each source individually, if desired. This allows you the
freedom to pick and choose which subscriptions to maintain and which
to discontinue.
2.3
Content of Email Messages.
In
certain commercial email messages sent by CPALead, an Advertiser's
name will appear in the "From:" line but hitting the
"Reply" button will cause a reply email to be sent to CPALead. The "Subject:" line of
CPALead email messages will
usually contain a line provided from the Advertiser to CPALead.
2.4
Solicited Email.
CPALead only sends email to individuals who have agreed on the Websites
to receive email from CPALead or to individuals who have agreed on
Third Party websites to receive email from Third Parties. As such CPALead does not send unsolicited email messages. As a result, statutes
requiring certain formatting for unsolicited email are not applicable
to CPALead's email messages.
2.5
Targeted Advertising.
CPALead uses Individual Information to target advertising to an
individual. When an individual is using the Internet, CPALead uses
Technology Information (see also Section 2.7 below) to associate an
individual with that person's Individual Information, and CPALead
attempts to show advertising for products and services in which the
person has expressed an interest in the Surveys, indicated an
interest by means of Technology Information, and otherwise. CPALead
may, at its discretion, target advertising by using email, direct
mail, telephones, cell phones, and other means of communication to
provide promotional offers.
2.6
Direct Mail and Telemarketing.
CPALead uses Individual Information to advertise, directly or
indirectly, to individuals using direct mail marketing or
telemarketing using telephones and cell phones.
2.7
Use of Technology Information.
CPALead 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 CPALead's websites are most frequently
visited. This information helps CPALead to better understand the
online habits of individuals so that CPALead can target advertising
and promotions to them.
2.8
Profiles of Individuals.
CPALead 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 behavioral and other information obtained from public
databases. CPALead may also publish personal information in the form
of a testimonial if such information is sent to CPALead by you.
2.9
Storage of Individual Information.
CPALead stores the Individual Information in a database on our
computers. Our computers have security measures (such as a firewall)
in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the
information under CPALead's control. Not withstanding such measures,
CPALead cannot guarantee that its security measures will prevent our
computers from being illegally accessed, and the Individual
Information on them stolen or altered.
3.

Sale or Transfer to Third Parties.
CPALead MAY SELL OR TRANSFER INDIVIDUAL INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES FOR
ANY PURPOSE IN CPALead'S SOLE DISCRETION.

necessary to provide a product or service that a person orders from
such Third Party while using CPALead websites or when responding to

opportunity for an individual to correct, amend, or delete such
information. Access can be obtained by contacting
network@cpalead.com. CPALead may also grant advertising clients and
email services providers' access to an individual's email address to
verify the origin of the Individual Information collected.
4.
Privacy Practices of Third Parties.
4.1
Advertiser cookies and web beacons.
Advertising
agencies, advertising networks, and other companies (together,
"Advertisers") who place advertisements on the Websites and
on the Internet generally may use their own cookies, web beacons, and
other technology to collect information about individuals. CPALead
does not control Advertisers' use of such technology and CPALead has
no responsibility for the use of such technology to gather
information about individuals.
4.2
Links.
The
Websites and email messages sometimes contain hypertext links to the
websites of Third Parties. CPALead is not responsible for the
privacy practices or the content of such other websites. Linked
websites may contain links to websites maintained by Third Parties.
Such links are provided for your convenience and reference only. CPALead does not operate or control in any respect any information,
software, products or services available on such Third Party
websites. The inclusion of a link to a web site does not imply any
endorsement of the services or the site, its contents, or its
sponsoring organization.
