This is the official privacy policy of Pro-filesPlus.com, and forms part of the Terms of Use and together
with any Additional Terms, forms your agreement with us. Any terms not defined
in this Privacy Policy have the meanings set forth in the Terms of Use. Our
Privacy Policy does not supersede the Terms of Use that govern your use of our
Services, but supplements its terms and conditions and is incorporated
herein
by reference. Any conflict between the two shall be determined in favor
of the Terms of Use.
This Privacy Policy governs the
personally identifiable information collected by us (Personal Information)
and does not cover any other information, whether collected in any other manner
or for any other purpose, nor on any other web site or service unless
specifically stated, and does not apply to any other information, whether
collected in any other manner or for any other purpose, nor on any other
website or service unless specifically stated.
Our privacy standards are
designed to ensure that we will:
§ collect and use only the
minimum necessary Personal Information required for us to deliver the Services
to our Members, to administer our business and to let you know of products and
services that are available;
§ protect your Personal
Information, maintaining strict standards of security and confidentiality;
§ not disclose your Personal
Information to any external organization unless we have previously notified you
and obtained your consent;
§ require any other
organization that we retain or engage to provide support services for us to
conform to our privacy standards; and
§ make every effort to keep
your Personal Information complete, up to date, and accurate.
You can visit our Website and
learn about Pro-filesPlus, our products and services, and find out how to
contact us without submitting any Information via our Website.
Keeping your Personal
Information secure and ensuring your understanding of how we use and maintain
your Personal Information is important to us. Pro-filesPlus maintains physical,
electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your Personal Information and
while no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure from intrusion, we
have used and will continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure
the protection of your Personal Information.
We collect information about
you when you visit and use the Website, and particularly when you create an
Account and enter or input Personal Information, whether during the course of
entering, initiating, fulfilling and transmitting Personal Information or
otherwise in connection with your general activities and/or use of the Website.
We may use your Personal Information to tailor your experience at our Website,
to display content we think may be of interest you, or to let us customize what
you see when you visit the Website according to your preferences.
Your Personal Information and
any data, personal or otherwise, that you disclose and which may be saved on
the Website is used to provide the Services to you and other Members, and to
administer our business, the Website, and our Services in a manner consistent
with the Terms of Use as well as all applicable laws, rules, regulations and
other legal obligations. We may from time to time, transfer or merge your
Personal Information to our off-line databases and/or store such Personal Information
in an electronic format as well as combine your Personal Information with
information available from other sources.
Sometimes we may use your
Personal Information to advise you of products or services that may be
available through Pro-filesPlus or its affiliates. You may choose to ?opt-out? of receiving marketing and

Personal Information with any non-affiliated parties, unless you ?opt-in?,
except as otherwise stated within the Terms of Use or as otherwise necessary to
provide the Services. We will share your Personal Information with our
operational service providers that assist in delivering our Services to you.
You are required to provide
true, current, complete and accurate Personal Information and we have the right
to refuse or revoke your right to use our Website and Services and/or reject
and delete any entry you make if we have reason to believe that the Personal
Information you provide to us is or may be false, fraudulent, or inconsistent
with this Privacy Policy or in violation of the Terms of Use. If you are submitting Personal
Information on behalf of others in your business for registration purposes or
otherwise, you represent that you have their permission, agreement and full
authorization to provide this Personal Information to us for these purposes. We
reserve the right to ask you to provide evidence of that at any time during, or
even after, the submission process or to contact those individuals to confirm
this at any time. If we determine that such authorization has not been properly

important to us, in this legal and technical environment, we cannot fully
ensure that your Personal Information will not be disclosed to third parties.
For example, we may be compelled to disclose your Personal Information to a
governmental agency or a court; or third parties may unlawfully intercept or
access transmissions or private communications. Additionally, we may (and
you authorize us to do so) disclose any of your Personal Information to private
entities, law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole
discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to investigate or resolve possible
problems or inquiries or to protect our own business and assets. In such
circumstances, we will, where possible, require such third parties to maintain
the confidentiality of any information so disclosed.

obligation and is not liable for the treatment or maintenance of any
information, content, data or materials transmitted, distributed or otherwise
provided by you via any such third party websites or services. It is your
sole responsibility to review their respective policies and practices and
determine whether the same are adequate.
