PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: May 2,
2010
SharonMichaels.com strives to offer its visitors the
many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive
and personalized experience. We may use Personally Identifiable
Information (your name, e-mail address, street address,
telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy.
We will never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any
unauthorized third party. Period."
How we
gather information from users
How we collect and
store information depends on the page you are visiting, the
activities in which you elect to participate and the services
provided. For example, you may be asked to provide information
when you register for access to certain portions of our site
or request certain features, such as newsletters or when you
make a purchase. You may provide information when you
participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and
chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site. Like most
Web sites, SharonMichaels.com also collects information
automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may
be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the
name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie
technology to recognize you and hold information from your
visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your user name
and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that
information each time you visit, or may control the number of
times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting
our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also
gather information through other means. In certain cases, you
can choose not to provide us with information, for example by
setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you
do you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or
may be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we
may not be able to customize the site’s features according to
your preferences.
What
we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to
enhance your visit and deliver more individualized content and
advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share your information
with anyone.
Aggregated
Information (information that does not personally identify
you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine
information about your usage patterns with similar information
obtained from other users to help enhance our site and
services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what
features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally
be shared with our advertisers and business partners. Again,
this information does not include any Personally Identifiable
Information about you or allow anyone to identify you
individually.
We may use
Personally Identifiable Information collected on SharonMichaels.com
to communicate with you about your registration and
customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy
policy; services and products offered by SharonMichaels.com
and other topics we think you might find of interest.
Personally
Identifiable Information collected by SharonMichaels.com may
also be used for other purposes, including but not limited to
site administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce
transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests, and
other communications with you. Certain third parties who
provide technical support for the operation of our site (our
Web hosting service for example) may access such information.
We will use your information only as permitted by law. In addition,
from time to time as we continue to develop our business, we
may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or
businesses. In such transactions, user information may be
among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information
in response to a court order, at other times when we believe
we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with
the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law
enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or
necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice
prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated
sites, linked sites and advertisements
SharonMichaels.com
expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates to respect
the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third
parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and
other content providers accessible through our site, may have
their own privacy and data collection policies and practices.
For example, during your visit to our site you may link to, or
view as part of a frame on a SharonMichaels.com page, certain
content that is actually created or hosted by a third party.
Also, through SharonMichaels.com you may be introduced to,

SharonMichaels.com is not responsible for the actions or
policies of such third parties. You should check the
applicable privacy policies of those third parties when
providing information on a feature or page operated by a third
party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional
partners or other third parties may use cookies or other
technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or
retrieve information about you. For example, some of our
advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies
that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular
advertisement before. Other features available on our site may
offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies
or other technology to gather information. SharonMichaels.com
does not control the use of this technology by third parties
or the resulting information, and is not responsible for any
actions or policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily
disclose Personally Identifiable Information on message boards
or in chat areas, that information can be viewed publicly and
can be collected and used by third parties without our
knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from other
individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond the
control of SharonMichaels.com and this policy.

Information from or about children under 13 except as

to the rules and laws that applied at the time the information
was collected.
