LoudExpressions Privacy Policy
Our Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding
how we collect and use the personal information you provide
to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when
using our site and our products and services.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our Web site you may provide us with two
types of information: personal information you knowingly
choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis
and Web site use information collected on an aggregate basis
as you and others browse our Web site.
Personal Information You Choose to Provide
Registration Information
You will provide us information about yourself, your firm
or company, and your practices when you register to be a
member of LoudExpressions, register for certain services,
or register for email newsletters and alerts. You may also
provide additional comments on how you see servicing your
needs and interests.
Email Information
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may
retain the content of your email messages together with
your email address and our responses.
Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes
a standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation
below, "What Are Cookies?") and Web server logs to collect
information about how our Web site is used. Information
gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include
the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent
at our Web site, and the Web sites visited just before and
just after our Web site. We, our advertisers and ad serving
companies may also use small pieces of code called “web
beacons” or “clear gifs” to determine which advertisements
and promotions users have seen and how users responded to
them.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes
of administering and expanding our business activities,
providing customer service and making available other products
and services to our customers and prospective customers.
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect
to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new
services and special offers we think you will find valuable.
You may notify us at any time if you do not wish to receive
these offers by
contacting us.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes
an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Web site,
that site's computer asks your computer for permission to
store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically
designated for cookies. Each Web site can send its own cookie
to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it,
but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits
a Web site to access the cookies it has already sent to
you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
As you shop on our Web site, the site uses its cookies to
differentiate you from other shoppers so your shopping cart
is only available to you. In some cases, we also use cookies
to prevent you from seeing unnecessary advertisements or
requiring you to log in more than is necessary for security.
Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's log files,
allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting
our Web site and which parts of the site are most popular.
This helps us gather feedback in order to constantly improve
our Web site and better serve our customers. Cookies do
not allow us to gather any personal information about you
and we do not generally store any personal information that
you provided to us in your cookies.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
We may enter into alliances, partnerships or other business
arrangements with third parties who may be given access
to personal information including your name, address, telephone
number and email for the purpose of providing you information
regarding products and services that we think will be of
interest to you. In connection with alliances, partnerships
or arrangements, we may also provide certain information
to third parties if we have determined that the information
will be used in a responsible manner by a responsible third
party. For example, some of our partners operate stores
or provide services on our site, while others power offerings
developed by us for your use. We also use third parties
to facilitate our business, including, but not limited to,
sending email and processing credit card payments. In connection
with these offerings and business operations, our partners
and other third parties may have access to your personal
information for use in connection with business activities.
As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or
business offerings. Customer, email, and visitor information
is generally one of the transferred business assets in these
types of transactions. We may also transfer such information
in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, or any
dissolution.
Notice of New Services and Changes
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect
to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new
services and special offers we think you will find valuable.
As our customer, you will be given the opportunity to
notify us of your desire not
to receive these offers by sending us an email request.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?
Email is not recognized as a secure medium of communication.
For this reason, we request that you do not send private
information to us by email. Some of the information you
may enter on our Web site may be transmitted securely via
Secure Sockets Layer SSL, 128 bit encryption services, which
are enabled by VeriSign, Inc. Pages utilizing this technology
will have URLs that start with HTTPS instead of HTTP. Please
contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
How Can You Access and Correct Your Information?
You may request access to all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain in our database by
contacting us.
Certain Disclosures
We may disclosure your personal information if required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law or comply with legal process served on us or Affiliated Parties; (b) protect and defend our rights and property, the Site, the users of the Site, and/or our Affiliated Parties; (c) act under circumstances to protect the safety of users of the Site, us, or third parties.
What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from our Web site nor the information or content contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Web site to another Web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other Web site, including Web sites which have a link on our Web site, is subject to that Web site's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.

If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on our Web site to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it.
