JOINT PARENTS ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY/ PRIVACY POLICY

JointParents.com's Privacy Policy
Your privacy on the Internet is important to us. As part of the operation of JointParents.com, we gather certain types of information about JointParents.com users, and we would like to explain the types of information we gather, what we do with it and how to correct or change the information.

Information Collected By JointParents.com
JointParents.com collects two types of personally identifying information from users; personal information (such as names and e-mail addresses); and aggregated information (such as how many users log into JointParents.com on a daily basis).

Personal Information
Personal information is collected when users provide personal information to JointParents.com, for example in registering for electronic newsletters or other membership services, answering surveys, and purchasing items from JointParents.com.

Aggregated Information
Aggregated information, such as which pages users access or visit and information volunteered by users, such as survey information and/or site registrations, is collected through various methods. For example, JointParents.com collects IP addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers, the computers that "serve up" Web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address, and when you request a page from JointParents.com, our servers log your IP address. JointParents.com collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to provide aggregated data to advertisers about the volume of use on JointParents.com.

Use of Cookies
JointParents.com does not use "cookies" to collect information. JointParents.com does use a single cookie to assist users in remembering their userid and prefills the userid field with the userid if it has been previously entered by the user. A cookie is a small data file that most major websites write to your hard drive for record keeping purposes when you visit them. Cookies allow websites to measure activity on their site, for example by remembering your passwords and viewing preferences. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you have set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent, the Site functions the same as if your browser is set to accept cookies.

The information is used to improve the content of the Site, to customize the content and/or layout of the Site for each individual user and to notify users about updates to the Site or promotional offers or opportunities that we believe will be of interest to you.
