"Services")-those who access some of our Services but do not have
accounts ("Visitors") as well as those who may purchase Products
and/or pay a monthly service fee to subscribe to the Service
("Members")-what we do with the information we collect, and the
choices Visitors and Members have concerning the collection and use of such
information. We request that you read this Privacy Policy carefully.
HazardPRO's Commitment to Children's Privacy. Protecting children's privacy is

Personal Information HazardPRO Collects and How It Is
Used
Introduction
HazardPRO collects information in different ways from Visitors
and Members who access the various parts of our Services and the network of Web
sites accessible through our Service. We use this information primarily to
provide a customized experience as you use our Products and Services, and
generally, do not share this information with third parties. However, we may
disclose personal information collected if we have received your permission
beforehand or in very special circumstances, such as when we believe that such
disclosure is required by law or other special cases described below.
Registration
Members may be asked to provide certain personal information
when they sign up for our Products or Services including name, address,
telephone number, billing information (such as a credit card number), and the
type of personal computer being used to access the Services. The personal
information collected from Members during the registration process is used to
manage each Member's account (such as for billing purposes). This information is
not shared with third parties, unless specifically stated otherwise or in
special circumstances.
However, in instances where HazardPRO
and a partner jointly promote our Services, we may provide the partner certain
personal information, such as the name, address, and username of persons who
subscribed to the Services as a result of the joint promotion for the sole
purpose of allowing us and the partner to assess the results of the promotion.
In this instance, personal information may not
be used by the partner for any other purpose. We may also generate
non-identifying and aggregate profiles from personal information Members provide
during registration (such as the total number, but not the names, of Members).
As explained in more detail below, we may use this aggregated and
non-identifying information to sell advertisements that appear on the Services.
HazardPRO Partners and
Sponsors
Some products and services may be
offered to Visitors and Members in conjunction with an affiliate, independent
contractor seller or non-affiliated partner. To provide Visitors and Members
some of these products and services, the partner may need to collect and
maintain personal information. In these instances, you will be notified before
any such data is collected or transferred and may decide not to use that
particular service or feature.
Additionally, our partners may have
advertisements or co-branded Web Pages that are cosponsored by an affiliate,
independent contractor seller, or non-affiliated partner. HazardPRO may share
non-identifying and aggregate information (except as described above), but not
personal information, with such partners in order to administer the co-branded
products or services offered.
Online
Shopping
At some Web sites, you can purchase products and services
or register to receive materials, such as a newsletter, catalog or new product
and service updates. In many cases, you may be asked to provide contact
information, such as your name, address, email address, phone number, and
credit/debit card information.
If you complete an order for someone else, such
as an online gift order sent directly to a recipient, you may be asked to
provide information about the recipient, such as the recipient's name, address,
and phone number. HazardPRO has no control over the third parties' use of any
personal information you provide when placing such an order. Please exercise
care when doing so.
If you order services or products directly from HazardPRO we will use the
personal information you provide only to process that order. We do not share
this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete
that order.
Online
Advertisements
HazardPRO may display our online advertisements.
In those cases we share aggregated and non-identifying information about our
Visitors and Members collected through the registration process as well as
through online surveys and promotions with these advertisers.
Additionally, in some instances, we use this
aggregated and non-identifying information to deliver tailored advertisements or
joint ventures. For instance, an advertiser or joint venture company tells us
the audience they want to reach and provides us an advertisement tailored to the
audience. Based upon the aggregated and non-identifying information we have
collected, we may then display or send the advertisement to the intended
audience. HazardPRO does not share personal information about its Visitors or
Members with these advertisers or joint venture companies.
Responses to Email
Inquiries
When Visitors or Members send email inquiries to
HazardPRO, the return email address is used to answer the email inquiry we
receive. HazardPRO does not use the return email address for any other purpose
and does not share the return email address with any third party.
Voluntary Customer
Surveys
We may periodically conduct both business and
individual customer surveys. We encourage our customers to participate in these
surveys because they provide us with important information that helps us to
improve the types of products and services we offer and how we provide them to
you. Your personal information and responses will remain strictly confidential,
even if the survey is conducted by a third party. Participation in our customer
surveys is voluntary.
We may take the information we receive from individuals responding to our
Customer Surveys and combine (or aggregate) it with the responses of other
customers we may have, to create broader, generic responses to the survey
questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education, employment,
industry sector, or other demographic information). We then use the aggregated
information to improve the quality of our services to you, and to develop new
services and products. This aggregated, non-personally identifying information
may be shared with third parties.
Special
Cases
It is HazardPRO's policy not to use or share the personal
information about Visitors of Members in ways unrelated to the ones described
above without also providing you an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit
such unrelated uses.
However, we may disclose personal information
about Visitors or Members, or information regarding your use of the Services or
Web sites accessible through our Services, for any reason if, in our sole
discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to do so, including: credit
agencies, collection agencies, merchant database agencies, law enforcement, or
to satisfy laws, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Child
Online Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental or legal requests for such
information; to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or
bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Acceptable Use
Policy or Terms Of Service, or other user policies; to operate the Services
properly; or to protect HazardPRO and our Members.

Public
Forums

any Member Directory, or other public areas of our Web sites or the Internet,
becomes public information. You should exercise caution when deciding to
disclose personal information in these public areas.
Data
Security
Services and Web sites we
sponsor have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and
alteration of the information under our control. While we make every effort to
ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot
guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party
"hackers" from illegally obtaining this information.
