PRIVACY
POLICY
Last
Updated: June 18th, 2008
VirtualBusinessRevolution.com strives to offer
its visitors the many advantages of Internet technology and to
provide an interactive and personalized experience. We may use
Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address,
street address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this
privacy policy. We will never sell, barter, or rent your email
address to any unauthorized third party. Period."
How we gather information from
users
How
we collect and store information depends on the page you are
visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and
the services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide
information when you register for access to certain portions of
our site or request certain features, such as newsletters or
when you make a purchase. You may provide information when you
participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and
chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site. Like most
Web sites, VirtualBusinessRevolution.com also collects
information automatically and through the use of electronic
tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we
may
log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie
technology to recognize you and hold information from your
visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your user name
and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that
information each time you visit, or may control the number of
times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting
our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also
gather information through other means. In certain cases, you
can choose not to provide us with information, for example by
setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do
you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may
be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we may
not be able to customize the site’s features according to your
preferences.
What we do with the information
we collect
Like other Web publishers, we
collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more
individualized content and advertising. We respect
your privacy and do not share your information with
anyone.
Aggregated Information
(information that does not personally identify you) may be used
in many ways. For example, we may combine information about
your usage patterns with similar information obtained from
other users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to
learn which pages are visited most or what features are most
attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared
with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this
information does not include any Personally Identifiable
Information about you or allow anyone to identify you
individually.
We may use Personally
Identifiable Information collected on
VirtualBusinessRevolution.com to communicate with you about
your registration and customization preferences; our Terms of
Service and privacy policy; services and products offered by
VirtualBusinessRevolution.com and other topics we think you
might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable
Information collected by VirtualBusinessRevolution.com may also
be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site
administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce
transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests, and
other communications with you. Certain third parties who
provide technical support for the operation of our site (our
Web hosting service for example) may access such information.
We will use your information only as permitted by law. In
addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our
business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other
companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information
may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your
information in response to a court order, at other times when
we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in
connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us,
and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it
appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you
with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites
and advertisements
VirtualBusinessRevolution.com
expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates to respect the
privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties,
including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other
content providers accessible through our site, may have their
own privacy and data collection policies and practices. For
example, during your visit to our site you may link to, or view
as part of a frame on a VirtualBusinessRevolution.com page,
certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third
party. Also, through VirtualBusinessRevolution.com you may be
introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites,
features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties.
VirtualBusinessRevolution.com is not responsible for the
actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the
applicable privacy policies of those third parties when
providing information on a feature or page operated by a third
party.
While on our site, our
advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may
use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some of
your preferences or retrieve information about you. For
example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and
may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine
whether you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other
features available on our site may offer services operated by
third parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather
information. VirtualBusinessRevolution.com does not control the
use of this technology by third parties or the resulting
information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies
of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if
you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable Information on
message boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed
publicly and can be collected and used by third parties without
our knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from other
individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond the
control of VirtualBusinessRevolution.com and this
policy.

VirtualBusinessRevolution.com
does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally Identifiable
Information from or about children under 13 except as permitted
by law. If we discover we have received any information from a
child under 13 in violation of this policy, we will delete that
information immediately. If you believe

anyone under 13, please contact us at the address listed

rules and laws that applied at the time the information was
collected.
