Privacy
Agreement
Two Moon Bay is committed to protecting the privacy
of its users, and making your Two Moon Bay experience
enjoyable and safe. When you download our software,
our photos, register for our online services,
send our electronic greetings, or other email,
the information you provide to us is used only
to customize your experience and to deliver email
notifications to you (or people you designate
as your recipients) unless you register your resume
online with us and make your details openly available.
The names and email addresses you give us when
you simply send an email are NOT sold, compiled
into any type of mailing list, or otherwise used
for any type of email solicitation. Our data collection
policies with regard to current and future services
allow you to choose how much information you provide
to us, and to control how we use that information.
Read below to find out more.
Warning
When registering you CV online we recommend that
you do NOT include personal details such as phone
numbers, residential addresses and email addresses.
We advice that you set up a seperate email account
with yahoo, hotmail or similar and use that email
as the contact address that you give out.
Privacy Philosophy
The Internet is rapidly changing
the way all of us communicate and interact with
each other. While the Internet allows each of
us access to a greater array of information and
services than has ever been available, these new
online activities do raise new challenges, such
as the privacy issues addressed in this policy.
Two Moon Bay is committed to working with public
policy organizations, industry groups, and government
institutions to understand and address these challenges
as they arise. But most importantly, having a
relationship with our customers that is founded
on trust is not only good manners, it is also
good business. Any feedback you'd like to provide
to help us better meet your expectations in this
arena is welcomed.
Our Commitment to You
Two Moon Bay wants to make your
online experience satisfying and safe. Our data
collection policies allow you to choose how much
information to provide to us, and to control how
we use that information. Our goal is to provide
you with a robust online experience while allowing
you to control your privacy. Two Moon Bay collects
information online primarily to make it easier
and more rewarding for you to use our services.
Depending on the service you are accessing, you
could be asked at various times to provide information
such as your name, email address, or information
about what you like and do not like. On other
occasions such as when we provide items for purchase
online, we may request your credit card number
to conclude the transaction, or your mailing address
to ensure proper delivery. We request this information
to provide our strongest value to you - a personalized
online experience. Customers who personalize our
service come back more often - and it's the customers
that visit us often who make us successful - so
we do everything we can to make Two Moon Bay your
service with your name on it and to give you just
the content you want. Information collected online
is often defined as being either anonymous or
personally identifiable:
1. Anonymous Information refers
to information that cannot be tied back to a specific
individual. For instance, we may know that 10,000
people visit this Privacy Policy today, but we
do not necessarily know their names, where they
live, or their date of birth. What we collect
from transactions such as this constitutes anonymous
information, much like how your hometown's bus
service knows how many people take a given route
- but doesn't necessarily know who those people
are. Many of the individuals who access our services
decline to use the personalization features that
are available to them, and therefore those individuals
are anonymous to us and the data we collect is
similarly anonymous information.
2. Personally Identifiable Information
refers to information that tells us specifically
who you are, such as your name or email address.
In many cases we need this information to provide
the personalized or enhanced service that have
requested. An example of the use of such information
would be the Two Moon Bay eCards. We hope that,
like many of our customers, you will find it beneficial
to judiciously provide Personally Identifiable
Information to Two Moon Bay so that we may provide
more valuable free content and products to you.
The only way we know something about you personally
is if you register as a user on our site. In other
words, we will know Personally Identifiable Information
about you only if you choose to share this type
of information with us.
Third Party Advertisers.
We use DoubleClick and other third-party
advertising companies to serve ads when you visit
our Web site. These companies may use information
(not including your name, address, email address
or telephone number) about your visits to this
and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements
on this site and other sites about goods and services
that may be of interest to you. If you would like
more information about this practice and to know
your choices about not having this information
used by these companies, please visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp
Third Party Cookies In the course of serving advertisements
to this site, our third-party advertiser may place
or recognize a unique "cookie" on your browser.
Our Commitment to Your Family
Like you, we at Two Moon Bay have
children of our own and are concerned about their
safety when they use the Internet. We want you
and your family to be safe while visiting Two
Moon Bay. That is why we have established a special
policy with regard to the use of our services
by children. The Federal Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) requires that service
providers never knowingly request Personally Identifiable
Information from anyone under the age of 13 without
requesting verifiable parental consent. In accordance
with COPPA, Two Moon Bay does not knowingly collect
any Personally Identifiable Information from children
under the age of 13. No one under the age of 15
should submit any Personally Identifiable Information
to our Site. In the event that Two Moon Bay determines
that a user of this site is under the age of 13,
Two Moon Bay will not maintain or use his or her
Personally Identifiable Information. To ensure
children's privacy, we urge parents and guardians
to spend time online with their children to become
familiar with the types of content available on
the Internet. Control tools are available on the
Internet from online services and software manufacturers
to help create a safer environment for children.
For additional information on protecting children's
privacy, visit http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/kidzprivacy/index.html.
What Personally Identifiable Information
of yours is collected
As always, we are committed to making
your Two Moon Bay experience enjoyable and safe.
When you download our software, our photos, register
for our online services or send our electronic
greetings, the information you provide to us is
used only to customize your experience and to
deliver email notifications to you (or people
you designate as your recipients). The names and
email addresses you give us are NOT sold, compiled
into any type of mailing list, or otherwise used
for any type of email solicitation. To enable
many of the features provided by Two Moon Bay,
we will assign "cookies" to your Internet browser
(such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet
Explorer). A cookie is a small text file that
contains a unique identification number stored
on your computer. Cookies by themselves cannot
be used to find out the identity of any user.
This unique identification number automatically
identifies your browser - but not you - to our
computers whenever you interact on our site. When
you visit our site, a cookie in effect says to
our server computers "Hello, I'm browser #655.
What do you do just for me?" Every Web page that
you access that includes advertising or content
served from the Two Moon Bay will have the contents
of your cookie reported in our server logs. But
only when you agree to provide Personally Identifiable
Information directly to Two Moon Bay, such as
through registration, will we be able to know
anything about you other than the random number
that our server computers originally assign to
your browser. There is a lot of confusion about
cookies, how they are used, and what they can
do. Cookies only contain information that the
server computer "knew" in the first place, and
can only be read by the serving domain that placed
them. For instance, Yahoo! utilizes cookies, but
Two Moon Bay’ servers can't read their contents
nor can Yahoo!'s servers read ours. Cookies are
an essential part of how the Internet works today,
and allow server computers to recognize your computer's
browser when you return. If you have ever gone
to a Web page that automatically provides personalized
content without you having to "sign in" this is
almost certainly being accomplished with a cookie.
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 it to anyone.
Information Distribution
If you are providing us Personally
Identifiable Information, it will only be used
within Two Moon Bay’ site. Two Moon Bay will never
share, rent or sell your information to third
parties without your permission. Although unlikely,
Two Moon Bay may be required by law enforcement
or judicial authorities to provide Personally
Identifiable Information to the appropriate governmental
authorities. If requested by law enforcement or
judicial authorities, we will provide this information
upon receipt of the appropriate documentation.
What choices are available to you
regarding collection, use, and distribution of
the information
Two Moon Bay offers you the ability
to control the email communications we make to
you. It is our intention to give you as much control
over our relationship as possible. First, as mentioned
earlier, the consumer always has the final word
on whether Two Moon Bay - or any Internet company
- knows who you are. It is your choice to share
Personally Identifiable Information with Two Moon
Bay and we encourage you to consider only sharing
information with any site on the Internet if you
receive true value in exchange for that information
transfer and if you respect the privacy practices
of the firm. Two Moon Bay will always give you
a chance to unsubscribe to any email communication
from us - clear directions for doing so will appear
in any email message we send to you. At times,
Two Moon Bay may enter into cobranding arrangements
with other companies, and if so, an opt-in question
may be present for contact from these firms as
well. Their opt-out features are specific to each
organization, but you should never receive email
from these organizations unless you have indicated
that it is acceptable. All email from from co-brand
partners who gain your permission to send you
commercial email, will include an opportunity
to opt out of future communications. Two Moon
Bay reserves the right to send a one-time registration
confirmation email, and infrequent Service Alert
messages to its customers to inform them of specific
changes that may impact their ability to use a
service they have previously signed up for, regardless
of email contact opt-in status. An example of
a Service Alert message would be notification
of the impending closing of an account that is
believed to be abandoned. Finally, we also reserve
the right to contact you if compelled to do so
as part of a legal proceeding or if there has
been a violation of our Terms of Service. Two
Moon Bay is retaining these rights because in
limited cases we feel that we may need the right
to contact you as a matter of law or regarding
matters which will be important to you. These
rights do not allow us to contact you to market
a new or existing service if you have asked us
not to do so, and issuance of these types of communications
are rare.
What kind of security procedures
are in place to protect against the loss, misuse,
or alteration of information under the company's
control
Two Moon Bay operates secure data
networks protected by industry standard firewall
and password protection systems. Our security
and privacy policies are periodically reviewed
and enhanced as necessary, and only authorized
individuals have access to the information provided
by our customers. Any particularly sensitive information,
such as a customer's credit card number collected
for a commerce transaction, is encrypted prior
to transmission. You the consumer are ultimately
responsible for the security of your Two Moon
Bay Member Name and password. Please take care
to store you Two Moon Bay Member Name separately
from your account password, or better yet, choose
a password that you don't need to write down at
all.
How you can correct any inaccuracies
in the information
Two Moon Bay believes strongly
in providing you with the ability to access and
edit the personal information that you have provided
to us. To update the information retained about
you, please visit our Two Moon Bay User Info area.
