- Part of the operation of the CINCO Media Communications, Inc web site (referred to as "CINCO"), found at http://www.thinkcinco.com, includes the gathering of certain types of information about CINCO users and their companies. Because we understand that your privacy is important to you, we would like to explain the types of information we gather and the way in which we use it. This on-line privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") applies to the thinkcinco.com operated by CINCO and any affiliated or related companies of CINCO that it has at any time, all of which are included in references to "CINCO" in this document. It does not necessarily apply to information collected by CINCO by means other than through thinkcinco.com. This Privacy Policy covers two types of information gathered at CINCO, personal information and aggregated data. "Personal information" refers to data you voluntarily provide in connection with use of thinkcinco.com that identifies you and/or the company on whose behalf you are accessing and using thinkcinco.com. Personal information includes such identifying information as your name, physical address, e-mail address, phone number, etc. For example, you might provide personal information when you submit an application for employment or resume. "Aggregated data" refers to general information regarding visitors and users of thinkcinco.com that relates to use of thinkcinco.com, e.g., traffic patterns, number of visits to certain sections or pages, visits from other Web Sites or to third-party Web Sites linked to CINCO's thinkcinco.com, use of particular services and information or features of CINCO or other parties made available through or found at thinkcinco.com.
Use of Personal Information CINCO is committed to protecting the privacy of all of its users. We understand that your personal information and, if applicable, the non-public information about the company you represent is sensitive and private data. CINCO may collect and use personal data that you submit at thinkcinco.com in any manner that is consistent with the uses stated in this Privacy Policy or disclosed elsewhere on thinkcinco.com at the point you submit such personal information. Except as expressly stated in this Privacy Policy, CINCO will never willfully disclose or make personal information about you available to any third party without first having provided you notice in this Privacy Policy or receiving your permission at the time you submit the personal information. CINCO may share personal information with third parties, in connection with its business, in order to facilitate proper and beneficial use of the features and services offered at thinkcinco.com. CINCO may also use personal information to contact you to keep you informed of current and future services and other opportunities CINCO provides. Personal information that CINCO may use may be collected at thinkcinco.com, among other ways
(1) in the event registration and/or user login is ever required;
(2) if you choose to submit personal information when making an e-mail inquiry at thinkcinco.com; or
(3) through submission of a resume or application for employment.
Permission for Use At the time you submit personal information or make a request, the intended use of the information you submit will be apparent in the context in which you submit it and/or because CINCO states the intended purpose. By submitting personal information at thinkcinco.com, you are giving your consent and permission for any use that is consistent with uses stated in this Privacy Policy or disclosed elsewhere at thinkcinco.com at the point you submit such personal information, and such consent will be presumed by CINCO, unless you state otherwise at the time you submit the personal information. PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST ANY SUCH COMMUNICATIONS ON BEHALF OF AN INDIVIDUAL OR COMPANY IF YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO MAKE THE REQUEST AND THE RECIPIENT OF THE COMMUNICATIONS DOES NOT WANT YOU TO DISCLOSE THE REQUESTED INFORMATION.
Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties CINCO may share your personal information in any of the following circumstances: If you request a bid for services at thinkcinco.com, CINCO may disclose such personal information to any third-party service provider CINCO uses or may use to fulfill any services in connection with such project on which a bid is given. CINCO may share your personal information to third-party suppliers in connection with services such third parties provide under an agreement with CINCO, e.g., for handling communications such as e-mail newsletters or other communications. In this case, such third party will be restricted to using your personal information only as directed by CINCO and only in connection with the business of CINCO. In connection with any other feature, service or submission you make at thinkcinco.com. If you are participating in a feature on thinkcinco.com and submitting personal information that CINCO may disclose to third parties and this Privacy Policy has not already advised you of such disclosure, then we will let you know at that time. However, use of personal information is limited to the purposes disclosed when you submit the information.
Use of Aggregated Data CINCO is interested in improving thinkcinco.com and may develop and offer new features and services. We monitor aggregated data regarding use of thinkcinco.com for marketing purposes and to study, improve and promote use of thinkcinco.com. In connection with such purposes, CINCO may share aggregated data with third parties collectively and in an anonymous way. Disclosure of aggregated data does not reveal personal information about individual thinkcinco.com users in any way that identifies who they are or how to contact them. However, disclosure of aggregated data may include the identity of the company or business to which it relates. CINCO will not disclose or otherwise share data which CINCO knows to be confidential or to be specific competitive, proprietary data regarding the business of thinkcinco.com user or the company whose personal information the user has submitted, without the express permission of the user, except to third-party suppliers of CINCO who need such information and have an agreement with CINCO that restricts use of such data to those purposes authorized by CINCO in connection with its business. However, CINCO may disclose such specific business data, so long as CINCO does not identify the individual or company to whom it pertains and does not reveal the identity of the person, in the case of personal information.
Exceptions to the Privacy Policy In addition to the disclosures discussed above, CINCO may disclose information in other situations:
(1) CINCO may monitor and, when we believe in good faith that disclosure is required, disclose information to protect the security, property, assets and/or rights of CINCO from unauthorized use, or misuse, of thinkcinco.com or anything found at thinkcinco.com, such as information that CINCO in good faith believes must be disclosed to correct false or misleading information or to address activities that CINCO believes to be manipulative, deceptive or otherwise in violation of law.
(2) CINCO may disclose information when required by law; however, only to the extent necessary and in a manner that seeks to maintain the privacy of the individual.
(3) CINCO may disclose and transfer information to a third party who acquires all or a substantial portion of our business, whether such acquisition is by way of merger, consolidation or purchase of all or a substantial portion of our assets.
Use Of Cookies To enable features at thinkcinco.com, CINCO may assign one or more "cookies" to your Internet browser. Cookies, among other things, speed navigation through thinkcinco.com, and may provide you with customized content. A "cookie" is an Internet mechanism composed of a small text file containing a unique identification number that permits a Web server to send small pieces of information or text by means of your browser and place them on your computer's hard drive for storage. This text lets the Web server know if you have previously visited the Web page. This information allows us to statistically monitor user traffic on thinkcinco.com and the concentration of such traffic in certain areas of thinkcinco.com. The cookies used with thinkcinco.com can only be read by the server that placed them. In other words, servers of websites that are not affiliated with our servers cannot retrieve the information contained in the cookies placed by our computers on your computer. Since cookies are only text files, they cannot "run" on your computer and have no ability to search your computer for other information, or transmit information contained on your computer's hard drive to anyone. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. However, most browsers also permit you to refuse cookies and can alert you when cookies are being sent and/or allow you to delete these files. Set your browser's guidelines or features accordingly, if you wish to prevent cookies. However, please be aware that if you choose to refuse cookies when you are on thinkcinco.com, it is possible that some features of thinkcinco.com may not function properly. As the user of thinkcinco.com, you should contact third-party content and information providers who maintain links with thinkcinco.com directly, if you have any questions about their use of the information they may potentially collect.
Children's Privacy And Parental Consent Please be aware that CINCO has not designed thinkcinco.com for, and does not intend for it to be used by, anyone under age 13. Accordingly, thinkcinco.com should not be used by anyone under age 13. Should CINCO inadvertently acquire personal information or other data from users under the age of 13, CINCO will not knowingly provide this data to any third party for any purpose whatsoever, and any subsequent disclosure would be due to the fact the user under age 13 used thinkcinco.com and submitted personal information without solicitation by or permission from CINCO.
General Information Regarding Online Privacy and Information You Provide At CINCO we strive to protect your privacy and will attempt to comply with every aspect of this Privacy Policy. Unfortunately, it is not possible to ensure the security of the information you send us over the Internet 100% of the time. For example, CINCO does not generally use encryption and cannot protect against all unauthorized access. Consequently, CINCO makes no guarantee or warranty with respect to this Privacy Policy, including without limitation, protecting your privacy, the privacy of any company for whom you may be using thinkcinco.com, or the confidentiality of information about either of you. Therefore, when you supply information to CINCO, you and any company on whose behalf you supply such information do so at your own risk and you both assume full responsibility for the security, confidentiality and use of such information.
Links Provided To Other Websites It is important to note that CINCO may provide links to a number of other Websites that we believe might offer you useful information and services. However, those sites may not follow the same privacy policies as CINCO. Therefore, we are not responsible for the privacy policies or the actions of any third parties, including without limitation, any Web site owners whose sites may be reached through thinkcinco.com, nor can we control the activities of those Web sites. These links may include links to third parties such as content providers and business partners and other suppliers who may
(a) use the CINCO logo and or style as a result of a co-branding agreement,
(b) be linked to CINCO, and/or
(c) participate in providing one of the services or features offered through CINCO.
We suggest that you contact the relevant parties controlling these sites or accessing their on-line policies for the relevant information about their data collection practices.
Your Consent To This Privacy Policy USE OF THINKCINCO.COM SIGNIFIES YOUR CONSENT, AS WELL AS THE CONSENT OF THE COMPANY OR BUSINESS FOR WHOM YOU USE THINKCINCO.COM AND WHOSE INFORMATION YOU SUBMIT (IF ANY), TO THIS ON-LINE PRIVACY POLICY, INCLUDING THE COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION BY CINCO, AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY, AND ALSO SIGNIFIES AGREEMENT BY BOTH YOU AND YOUR COMPANY TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THINKCINCO.COM. CONTINUED ACCESS AND USE OF THINKCINCO.COM WITHOUT ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY RELIEVES CINCO FROM ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO THE USER.
Changes to Privacy Policy Because the Internet is a rapidly evolving medium and because our business may change, CINCO reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. You should occasionally return to the posted Privacy Policy to see if any changes have been made and to advise CINCO as soon as possible if you want CINCO to cease using any personal information you have submitted. The effective date of the most recent revision is located at the end of this Privacy Policy. If we decide to materially change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes through a prominent notice on thinkcinco.com so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and to whom we will disclose it.
If at any time, you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or believe that we have not adhered to this Privacy Policy, please feel free to email us at contact@thinkcinco.com. Copyright © 2008 CINCO Media Communications, Inc.. All rights reserved. Revised effective April 14, 2008.
Security Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, CINCO cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we use reasonable efforts to ensure that collected personally identifiable information is secure and not readily accessible to unapproved individuals or third parties.
