Since we gather individual consumer data, we want users to fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information.
This privacy statement discloses what information we gather, how we use it, and how we correct or change it. The Privacy Policy was created in October, 2013. Company asserts that protecting consumer privacy is its greatest concern.

Information Gathering and Tracking
The Company captures consumer data from sources including, but not limited to its own websites and/or through co-registration from our vendors. This data is typically obtained through our own, or our vendors’ websites in connection with a user’s registration on that website. The Company audits a portion of the data captured to make certain the referral URL, if available, contains an opt-in mechanism.
Use of Information
The Company uses any and all data obtained in order to provide recipients with information on products and/or services that may be of interest to them. By submitting your information(i.e. email, name, or phone number) you agree to allow The company to contact you via phone or email. You also consent to the occasional transactional and/or marketing email from The Company.
We may enhance or merge users’ personally identifiable information with data collected from other sources to use in postal, email or telephone marketing, including but not limited to the services described in “Sharing of Information” below. In the event we enhance or merge personally identifiable information with data collected from other sources, we will take all necessary steps to maintain the integrity and quality of that information.
Sharing of Information
The Company uses the information described above both for its own marketing efforts, and to help its vendors to better understand the demographics of their target audiences. The Company does provide personally identifiable data to other marketing companies, advertising agencies, data compilers, data companies, and, to the extent permitted by law, individual reference and look-up service programs. Such information may be used to provide consumers with information on products and services that may be of interest.
If consumers in our database have indicated that they do not want to have their data shared with third parties, The Company will limit the use of their data to the suppression, validation and enhancement of existing information held by third parties about its users. For example, marketers may use data about a registrant provided by The Company, such as “opt-out” information, to suppress or drop the registered user’s name from a file of potential customers. Additional information may be used to verify and/or validate the accuracy of existing data on the registrant that was lawfully acquired by a marketer. In addition, our data customers may use data supplied by The Company to enhance or append personally identifiable data to their file for use in postal, email or telephone marketing, subject to the terms of their own privacy policies.
Exceptions may occur in the event of a merger, acquisition, sale of assets of The Company or any of its divisions as a going-concern, or change of control, in which case such data would be considered a business asset and would be transferred subject to the terms of this privacy policy. Nonetheless, our users will always have the opportunity to choose whether or not they want to receive further information and offers from any division within The Company or our marketing partners.
By registering with our or our vendors’ sites to receive third party offers, users allow The Company and its affiliates to make their personally identifiable information available to third parties in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. The Company provides users the option to delete their records from the Company database, and opt-out from renting or selling their postal, email or phone number. Notwithstanding, all personally identifiable information provided by a user may be used by The Company to support its marketing data services business described above.
Users may delete their record, opt-out or unsubscribe from having their data rented or sold, at alerts.com . or at any time by following the instructions contained at the end of every newsletter or emailing. Users may opt-out of receiving further information sent on behalf of third party advertisers by The Company or from The Company sharing information with advertisers or third party marketers for promotional purposes. Currently, the Company does not offer users a means by which to completely delete personal data in order to maintain a master suppression file.
Please note that information sent on behalf of third party advertisers is prepared days in advance, so users may continue to receive email from The Company for up to 7-days after unsubscribing, and 45-days after opting-out or deleting their record.
