Privacy Policy
SayItWhen is committed to protecting your privacy.
This Online Privacy Statement applies to data collected by SayItWhen through
the majority of its websites and services, as well as its offline product support
services. It does not apply to those SayItWhen sites, services and products that
do not display or link to this statement or that have their own privacy statements.
Collection of Your Personal Information
At some SayItWhen sites, we ask you to provide personal information, such as your
e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. We may also collect
demographic information, such as your post code, age, gender, preferences, interests
and favorites.
In order to access some SayItWhen services, you will be asked to sign in with an
user name and password, which we refer to as your credentials. You can use the same credentials to sign in to many different SayItWhen sites and services,
as well as those of select SayItWhen partners. By
signing in on one SayItWhen site
or service, you may be automatically signed into other SayItWhen sites and services. If you access our services via a mobile phone,
you may also use your telephone number and a PIN as an alternative credential to
your username and password. As part of creating your credentials, you may also be
requested to provide questions and secret answers, which we use to help verify your
identity and assist in resetting your password, as well as an alternate email address.
Some services may require added security, and in these cases, you may be asked to
create an additional security key. Finally, a unique ID number will be assigned
to your credentials which will be used to identify your credentials and associated
information.
We may collect information about your visit, including the pages you view, the
links you click and other actions taken in connection with SayItWhen sites and services.
We also provide website analytics tools on non-SayItWhen
sites and services, and we may collect information about page views on these third
party sites as well.
Additionally, we collect certain standard information that your browser
sends to every website you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language,
access times and referring Web site addresses.
When you receive newsletters or promotional e-mail from SayItWhen , we may use
web beacons, customized links or similar
technologies to determine whether the e-mail has been opened and which links you
click in order to provide you more focused e-mail communications or other information.
In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions
with SayItWhen , information collected through one SayItWhen service may be combined
with information obtained through other SayItWhen services. We may also supplement
the information we collect with information obtained from other companies. For example,
we may use services from other companies that enable us to derive a general geographic
area based on your IP address in order to customize certain services to your geographic
area.
Use of Your Personal Information
SayItWhen collects and uses your personal information to operate and improve its
sites and deliver the services or carry out the transactions you have requested.
These uses may include providing you with more effective customer service; making
the sites or services easier to use by eliminating the need for you to repeatedly
enter the same information; performing research and analysis aimed at improving
our products, services and technologies; and displaying content and advertising
that are customized to your interests and preferences.
Many of the websites and online services we offer are supported by advertising,
and as indicated above, we may use some of the information we collect in order to
personalize the ads we show you. However, we designed our systems to select
ads based only on data that does not personally and directly identify you. For
example, we may select the ads we display according to certain general interest
categories or segments that we have inferred based on (a) demographic data, including
any you may have provided when creating an account (e.g. age, zip or postal code,
gender), general demographic data acquired from other companies, and a general geographic
location derived from your IP address, (b) the pages you view and links you click
when using SayItWhen's and its partners’ web sites and services
When we display personalized ads, we take a number of steps designed to protect
your privacy. For example, we store page views, clicks and search terms used
for ad personalization separately from your contact information or other data that
directly identifies you (such as your name, e-mail address, etc.). Further,
we have built in technological and process safeguards designed to prevent the unauthorized
correlation of this data.
We also use your personal information to communicate with you. We may send certain
mandatory service communications such as welcome letters, billing reminders, information
on technical service issues, and security announcements. Some SayItWhen services
may send periodic member letters that are considered part of
the service. We may also occasionally send you product surveys or promotional mailings
to inform you of other products or services available from SayItWhen and its affiliates.
Personal information collected on SayItWhen sites and services may be stored and
processed in the United Kingdom or any other country in which SayItWhen or its affiliates,
subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by using a SayItWhen site or service,
you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country. SayItWhen
abides by the safe harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce
regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union.
Sharing of Your Personal Information
Except as described in this statement, we will not disclose your personal information
outside of SayItWhen and its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates without your
consent. Some SayItWhen sites allow you to choose to share your personal information
with select SayItWhen partners so that they can contact you about their products,
services or offers.
Some SayItWhen services may be co-branded and offered in conjunction with another
company. If you register for or use such services, both SayItWhen and the other
company may receive information collected in conjunction with the co-branded services.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf,
such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support,
hosting websites, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of
our services. Those companies will be permitted to obtain only the personal information
they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality
of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
We may access and/or disclose your personal information if we believe such action
is necessary to: (a) comply with the law or legal process served on SayItWhen; (b)
protect and defend the rights or property of SayItWhen (including the enforcement
of our agreements); or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety
of users of SayItWhen services or members of the public.
Accessing Your Personal Information
You may have the ability to view or edit your personal information online. In order
to help prevent your personal information from being viewed by others, you will
be required to sign in with your credentials (username and password). The
appropriate method(s) for accessing your personal information will depend on which
sites or services you have used.
Communication Preferences
You can stop the delivery of future promotional e-mail from SayItWhen sites and
services by following the specific instructions in the e-mail you receive.
Security of Your Personal Information
SayItWhen is committed to protecting the security of your personal information.
We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal
information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store
the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access, which
are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential information
over the Internet, we protect it through
the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
If a password is used to help protect your accounts and personal information, it
is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. Do not share this information
with anyone. If you are sharing a computer with anyone you should always choose
to log out before leaving a site or service to protect access to your information
from subsequent users.
Use of Cookies
SayItWhen websites use "cookies" to enable you to sign in to our services and to
help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed
on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies contain information that can later
be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies cannot
be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.
SayItWhen websites use cookies to store your preferences and other information on
your computer in order to save you time by eliminating the need to repeatedly enter
the same information and to display your personalized content and appropriate advertising
on your later visits to these sites.
When you sign in to a site, we store your unique ID number, and the time you signed in, in an encrypted
cookie on your hard disk. This cookie allows you to move from page to page at the
site without having to sign in again on each page. When you sign out, these cookies
are deleted from your computer. We also use cookies to improve the sign
in experience. For example, your username may be stored in a cookie that will
remain on your computer after you sign out. This cookie allows your username
to be pre-populated, so that you will only need to type your password the next time
you sign in. If you are using a public computer or do not otherwise want this information
to be stored, you can select the appropriate radio button on the sign-in page, and
this cookie will not be used.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies
if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to sign in
or use other interactive features of SayItWhen sites and services that depend on
cookies.
Use of Web Beacons
SayItWhen Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons - sometimes
called single-pixel gifs - that may be used to assist in delivering cookies on our
sites and allow us to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded
services. We may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or our newsletters
in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
SayItWhen may also employ Web beacons from third parties in order to help us compile
aggregated statistics regarding the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns or
other operations of our sites. We prohibit Web beacons on our sites
from being used by third parties to collect or access your personal information.
Finally, we may work with other companies that advertise on SayItWhen sites to place
Web beacons on their sites in order to allow us to develop statistics on how often
clicking on an advertisement on a SayItWhen site results in a purchase or other
action on the advertiser's site.
Controlling "Spam" or Unsolicited E-mail
SayItWhen will not sell, lease
or rent its e-mail subscriber lists to third parties.
Using junk e-mail tools and being cautious
about the sharing of your e-mail address while online will help reduce the amount
of unsolicited e-mail you receive.
Changes to This Privacy Statement
We will occasionally update this privacy statement to reflect changes in our services
and customer feedback. If there are material changes to this statement or in how
SayItWhen will use your personal information, we will
notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes prior to implementing
the change or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to periodically
review this statement to be informed of how SayItWhen is protecting your information.
Contacting Us
SayItWhen welcomes your comments regarding this privacy statement. If you have questions
about this statement or believe that we have not adhered to it, please
