Our Privacy
Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we
collect and use the personal information you provide to
us and to assist you in making informed decisions when
using our site and our products and services. This
Privacy Policy is part of the Terms of Service located
here.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our Web
site you may provide us with two types of information:
personal information you knowingly choose to disclose
that is collected on an individual basis and Web site
use information collected on an aggregate basis as you
and others browse our Web site.
1. Personal Information You
Choose to Provide
Registration Information.
You may provide us
information about yourself, your firm or company, and
your practices when you contact, register to be a member
of, register for certain services, register for email
newsletters or alerts from ToudeGuts.org or
TourdeGuts.com.
Email Information.
If you choose to
correspond with us through email or the Contact Us
section of the Site, we may retain the content of your
email messages together with your email address, other
personally identifiable information including but not
limited to your first name and your last name, along
with any responses we make to your correspondence with
us. Correspondence to us through email or the
Contact Us section of the Site may be posted onto the
Site.
2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to
other commercial Web sites, our Web site may utilize a
standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation
below, "What Are Cookies?") and Web server logs to
collect information about how our Web site is used.
Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs
may include the date and time of visits, the pages
viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites
visited just before and just after our Web site. We, our
advertisers and ad serving companies may also use small
pieces of code called “web beacons” or “clear gifs” to
determine which advertisements and promotions users have
seen and how users responded to them.
How Do We Use the Information
That You Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use
personal information for purposes of administering and
expanding our business activities, providing customer
service and making available other products and services
to our customers and prospective customers.
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect
to notify you about important changes to our Web site,
new services and special offers we think you will find
valuable. You may notify us at any time if you do not
wish to receive these offers by emailing us at
tourdeguts@gmail.com.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small
text document, which often includes an anonymous unique
identifier. When you visit a Web site, that site's
computer asks your computer for permission to store this
file in a part of your hard drive specifically
designated for cookies. Each Web site can send its own
cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences
allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser
only permits a Web site to access the cookies it has
already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by
other sites.
How Do We Use Information We
Collect from Cookies?
As you explore on our Web
site, the site uses its cookies to differentiate you
from other visitors so your experience is only available
to you. In some cases, we also use cookies to prevent
you from seeing unnecessary content, advertisements, or
requiring you to log in more than is necessary for
security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's
log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of
people visiting our Web site and which parts of the site
are most popular. This helps us gather feedback in order
to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our
customers. Cookies do not allow us to gather any
personal information about you and we do not generally
store any personal information that you provided to us
in your cookies.
Disclosure Exceptions
Notwithstanding the above
policies, we reserve the right to disclose your personal
information to appropriate third-parties if we are
required to do so by law or we believe that such action
is necessary:
-
To
comply with legal process such as a search warrant,
subpoena or court order;
-
To
protect the company's rights and property;
-
To
investigate reports of users sending material using
a false e-mail address or users sending harassing,
threatening, or abusive messages;
-
To
protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our
web site and/or the services provided by the
websites; or
-
During
emergencies, such as when we believe someone's
physical safety is at risk.
Sharing Information with Third
Parties
We may enter into
alliances, partnerships or other business arrangements
with third parties who may be given access to personal
information including your name, address, telephone
number and email address for the purpose of providing you
information regarding products and services that we
think will be of interest to you. In connection with
alliances, partnerships or arrangements, we may also
provide certain information to third parties if we have
determined that the information will be used in a
responsible manner by a responsible third party. For
example, some of our partners operate stores or provide
services on our site, while others power offerings
developed by us for your use. We also use third parties
to facilitate our business, including, but not limited
to, sending email and processing credit card payments.
In connection with these offerings and business
operations, our partners and other third parties may
have access to your personal information for use in
connection with business activities. As we develop our
business, we may buy or sell assets or business
offerings. Customer, email, and visitor information is
generally one of the transferred business assets in
these types of transactions. We may also transfer such
information in the course of corporate divestitures,
mergers, or any dissolution.
Notice of New Services and
Changes
Occasionally, we may also
use the information we collect to notify you about
important changes to our Web site, news information, new services and
special offers we think you will find valuable. We may
also contact you if we feel you are misusing the
functionalities provided by our websites. As our
customer, you will be given the opportunity to notify us
of your desire not to receive these offers by sending us
an email request at
tourdeguts@gmail.com.
How Do We Protect Your
Information?
We take steps to protect
your personal data offline. All of your information, not
just the sensitive information mentioned above, is
restricted in our offices, our computer systems and the
computer systems that are used to host our websites. The
servers on which we store personally identifiable
information are not owned, operated, or secured by us.
A third-party Internet service provider (ISP) hosts the
TourdeGuts.org and TourdeGuts.com Web sites and any databases used to
store your information. Any privacy policies,
acceptable use policies or other rules and regulations
offer by the ISP that operates the aforementioned
websites supersede this privacy policy.
How Do We Secure Information
Transmissions?
Email is not recognized
as a secure medium of communication. For this reason, we
request that you do not send personally private information to us
by email or through the Contact Us section of the Site or include personal financial or other
important information via email
or through the Contact Us section of the Site. Please contact
tourdeguts@gmail.com
if you have any questions or concerns.
Certain Disclosures
We may disclosure your
personal information if required to do so by law or
subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary
to (a) conform to the law or comply with legal process
served on us or Affiliated Parties; (b) protect and
defend our rights and property, the Site, the users of
the Site, and/or our Affiliated Parties; or (c) act
under circumstances to protect the safety of users of
the Site, us, or third parties.
What About Other Web Sites
Linked to Our Web Site?
We are not responsible
for the practices employed by Web sites linked to or
from our Web site nor the information or content
contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are
provided solely as pointers to information on topics
that may be useful to the users of our Web site.
Please
remember that when you use a link to go from our Web
site to another Web site, our Privacy Policy is no
longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any
other Web site, including Web sites which have a link on
our Web site, is subject to that Web site's own rules
and policies. Please read over those rules and policies
before proceeding.
Your Consent
By using our Web site you
consent to our collection and use of your personal
information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we
change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post
those changes on our Web site to keep you aware of what
information we collect, how we use it and under what
circumstances we may disclose it.
