4. Our Disclosure
of Your Information
Due to the existing regulatory
environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications
and other personally identifiable information will never
be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy
Policy. By way of example (without limiting and foregoing),
we may be forced to disclose information to the government,
law enforcement agencies or third parties under certain
circumstances, third parties may unlawfully intercept or
access transmissions or private communications, or members
may abuse or misuse your information that they collect from
our Site. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices
to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should
not expect, that your personally identifiable information
or private communications will always remain private.
As a matter of policy,
we do not sell or rent any personally identifiable
information about you to any third party. However, the following
describes some of the ways that your personally identifiable
information may be disclosed.
Advertisers. We aggregate (gather
up data across all our members accounts) personally identifiable
information and disclose such information in a non-personally
identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties
for other marketing and promotional purposes. However, in
these situations, we do not disclose to these entities any
information that could be used to identify you personally.
Certain information, such as your name, email address, password,
credit card number and bank account number, are never disclosed
to marketing advertisers.
External Service Providers.
There are a number of services offered by external service providers
that help you use our Site. If you choose to use these optional
services, and in the course of doing so, disclose information
to the external service providers, and/or grant them permission
to collect information about you, then their use of your
information is governed by their private policy.
Legal Requests. Plasian.com cooperates
with law enforcement inquiries, as well as other third parties
to enforce laws, such as: intellectual property rights,
fraud and other rights. We can (and you authorize us to)
disclose any information about you to law enforcement and
other government officials as we, in our sole discretion,
believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an
investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements,
or other activity that is illegal or may expose us or you
to legal liability.
5. Your Use of other
Members Information.
In order to facilitate
interaction among all our members, when you send an introductory
note through our system to another member, your email address
is included in that note so that the recipient can respond
to you. We also allow you access to our chat room. As a
member you have access to the Members ID No., and you might
gain access to other contact information of the Member(s)
through the regular use of the chat room. By accepting this
Privacy Policy, you agree that, with respect to other Members'
personally identifiable information that you obtain through
the email communication and the chat room, Plasian.com hereby
grants to you a license to use such information only for:
(a) Plasian.com related communications that are not unsolicited
commercial messages, and (b) any other purpose that such
member expressly agrees to after adequate disclosure of
the purpose(s). In all cases, you must give Members an opportunity
to remove themselves from your database and a chance to
review what information you have collected about them. In
addition, under no circumstances, except as defined in this
Section, can you disclose personally identifiable information
about another member to any third party without our consent
and the consent of such other member after adequate disclosure.
Plasian.com and our members do not tolerate spam. Therefore,
without limiting the foregoing, you are not licensed to
add a Plasian.com member, to your mail list (email or physical
mail) without their express written consent after adequate
disclosure. To report spam from other Plasian.com members,
please send an email to comments@Plasian.com.
6. Accessing, Reviewing
and Changing Your Profile.
Following registration,
you can review and change the information you submitted
during registration through the Member Service Menu including:
Your password and e-mail address. If you change your password
and email we keep track of your old password and email.
You can also change your registration information such as:
name, address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number,
profile, likes and dislikes, desired date profile, essays
and saved search criteria.
Upon your written request,
we will suspend your membership, contact information, and
financial information from our active databases. Such information
will be suspended as soon as reasonably possible in accordance
with our suspension policy and applicable law.
7. Control of Your
Password
You are responsible for
all actions taken with your member ID No. and password,
including fees. Therefore we do not recommend that you disclose
your Plasian.com password or member ID No. to any third
parties. If you choose to share your member ID No and password
or your information with third parties to provide you additional
services, you are responsible for all actions taken with
your member ID No. and password and therefore should review
that third party's privacy policy. If you lose control of
your password, you may lose substantial control over your
personally identifiable information and may be subject to
legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore,
if your password has been compromised for any reason, you
should immediately change your password.
8. Other Information
Collectors
Except as otherwise expressly
included in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses
the use and disclosure of information we collect from you.
To the extent that you disclose your information to other
parties, whether they are on our Site or on other sites
throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to their
use or disclosure of the information you disclose to them.
To the extent that we use third party advertisers, they
adhere to their own privacy policies. Since Plasian.com
does not control the privacy policies of the third parties,
you are subject to ask questions before you disclose your
personal information to others.
9. Security
Plasian.com uses industry
standard practices to safeguard the confidentiality of your
personal identifiable information, including "firewalls"
and Secure Socket Layers. Plasian.com treats data as an
asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorized
access. We employ many different security techniques to
protect such data from unauthorized access by members inside
and outside the company. However, "perfect security"
does not exist on the Internet.
10. Notice
We may change this Privacy
Policy from time to time based on your comments and our need
to accurately reflect our data collection and disclosure practices.
All changes to this policy are effective after we provide
you with at least (30) days' notice of changes by sending
an email to all members. We provide you with (30) days' notice
to allow you the opportunity to notify Plasian.com if you
do not agree to such changes.
