CrimsonLogic Privacy Policy
1. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
CrimsonLogic collects information in several ways from different parts of our network of web sites.
Some personal information is gathered when you register. During registration, you may be asked for your name, email address, industry, as well as other information. The more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better we are able to customize your experience. Once you register, you are no longer anonymous to CrimsonLogic- you are given a user account and are able to take full advantage of CrimsonLogic’s many offerings.
In addition to registration, we may ask you for personal information at other times (including but not limited to) when you enter a sweepstake, contest or promotion sponsored by CrimsonLogic and/or our many partners; when you make a purchase using CrimsonLogic services; when you submit a listing for a web site; and when you report a problem with one of our sites or services. If you contact CrimsonLogic we may keep a record of that correspondence. CrimsonLogic also occasionally asks users to complete surveys that we use for research purposes. Wherever CrimsonLogic collects personal information we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.
2. USE OF INFORMATION
Personal information about you may be used by CrimsonLogic to improve our marketing efforts, to improve our content and product offerings and to make our site more user-friendly or to serve you better. We may use your email address, your mailing address, and phone number to contact you regarding administrative notices, new product offerings, and communications relevant to your use of the site. Information that we maintain about you and information from your current and past activities on the Site, will be used in the event of disputes or troubleshooting.
CrimsonLogic may, from time to time, send you email regarding our products ad services. In addition, we may occasionally send you direct mail about products and services that we feel may be of interest to you. On some types of CrimsonLogic promotions, we will ask for your email address in order to update you on your score, entries, and status in prize drawings. When you participate in these types of promotions, you automatically receive promotion-related email. Occasionally, these promotion-related email messages may include targeted advertisements.
3. SHARING OF INFORMATIONIn general, CrimsonLogic will not disclose any of your personal information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described below. The following describes some of the ways that your information may be disclosed.
Business Partners & Sponsors: CrimsonLogic may disclose your personal information to business partners or sponsors, but this is specifically described to you prior to data collection or prior to transferring the data. Details of shared use can be found in specific Terms of Service or Use Agreements, and sweepstakes and promotions rules. Some or all data collected during a CrimsonLogic promotion may be shared with a sponsor. If personally identifying data about you will be shared, we will tell you before we collect or transfer the data.
Many promotions offer opportunities to request additional information from sponsors. By requesting more information, you give CrimsonLogic permission to transfer your personal information to the sponsor so they can fulfill your request. In many instances, only your email address will be shared. If more information will be shared with the sponsor, you will be notified prior to the transfer.
ETradeExchange: If you make a purchase from a store hosted by ETradeExchange, or a merchant in a CrimsonLogic web site, the information obtained during your visit to those stores, and the information you give such as your contact information, are provided to the merchants. This is to enable transactions to take place.
Merchants listed in ETradeExchange or in a CrimsonLogic site have separate privacy and data collection practices. CrimsonLogic has no responsibility or liability for these independent policies. For more information regarding the merchant, their store, and their privacy policies, return to that store's home page and click on their Information link.
Third Party Data & Data in the Aggregate: Under confidentiality agreements, CrimsonLogic may match user information with third party data. Also, CrimsonLogic discloses aggregated user statistics (for example, 45% of our users are SMEs) in order to describe our services to current and prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes.
Other: CrimsonLogic may also disclose account information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating CrimsonLogic’s Terms of Service or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) CrimsonLogic’s rights or property, other CrimsonLogic users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. CrimsonLogic may disclose or access account information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.
In general, CrimsonLogic does not sell or rent user information to anyone. We will notify you at the time of data collection or transfer if your data will be shared with a third party and you will always have the option of not permitting the transfer.
SECURITY PRECAUTIONS
Your ETradeExchange Account is password-protected so that you and only you have use of and access to the account and the personal information contained therein.
Except as specifically permitted by this section, you may not disclose your password to any third parties nor share it with any third parties. If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personally identifiable information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately contact us to change your password.
Remember to sign out of your account and close your browser window when you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place.
As a global company, CrimsonLogic has international sites and users all over the world. When you give CrimsonLogic personal information, that information may be sent electronically to servers outside of the country where you originally entered the information. In addition, that information may be used, stored and processed outside of the country where you entered that information. Whenever CrimsonLogic handles personal information as described above, regardless of where this occurs, CrimsonLogic takes steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with the relevant Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, CrimsonLogic cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

When a CrimsonLogic-hosted promotion uses cookies, the information written to the cookie indicates the player's progress through the promotion, and may be used to track entries, submissions, and status in prize drawings.
(5) Measure certain traffic patterns, which areas of CrimsonLogic’s network of web sites you have visited, and your visiting patterns in the aggregate.

We may use this information to better personalize the content, banners, and promotions that you and other users will see on our sites.
Advertising networks that serve ads onto CrimsonLogic web sites may also use their own cookies.
CrimsonLogic also collects IP addresses for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers. In addition, CrimsonLogic includes IP addresses in outgoing mail message headers.
