Please read this privacy policy to learn more about the

The
privacy practices of this statement apply to our

that information. Although this policy may seem long, we
have prepared a detailed policy because we believe you
should know as much as possible about our practices so
that you can make informed decisions. By accepting the
Privacy Policy and any other agreement presented to you

Information Collection
Our
primary purpose in collecting personal information is to
provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and
customized experience. This allows us to provide
services and features that most likely meet your needs,
and to customize our service to make your experience
safer and easier. We only collect personal information
about you that we consider necessary for achieving this
purpose.
In
general, you can browse the Site without telling us who
you are or revealing any personal information about
yourself. Once you give us your personal information,
you are not anonymous to us. If you choose to use our
services, we may require you to provide contact and
identity information, billing information and other
personal information as indicated on the forms
throughout the Site. Where possible, we indicate which
fields are required and which fields are optional. You
always have the option to not provide information by
choosing not to use a particular service or feature.
Under some circumstances we may require some additional
financial information.
We
automatically track certain information based upon your
behavior on the Site. We use this information to do
internal research on our users' demographics, interests,
and behavior to better understand, protect and serve you
and our community. This information may include the URL
that you just came from (whether this URL is on the Site
or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is
on the Site or not), your computer browser information,
and your IP address.
We
use data collection devices such as "cookies" on certain
pages of the Site to help analyze our web page flow,
measure promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and
safety. "Cookies" are small files placed on your hard
drive that assist us in providing our services. We offer
certain features that are only available through the use
of a "cookie". We also use cookies to allow you to enter
your password less frequently during a session. You are
always free to decline our cookies if your browser
permits, although in that case you may not be able to
use certain features on the Site and you may be required
to reenter your password more frequently during a
session.
Additionally, you may encounter "cookies" or other
similar devices on certain pages of the Site that are
placed by third parties. For example, if you view a web
page created by a user, there may be a "cookie" placed
within that web page. We do not control the use of
cookies by third parties.
If
you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or
letters, or if other users or third parties send us
correspondence about your activities on the Site, we may
collect such information into a file specific to you.
Communications from the Site
On rare occasions it is
necessary to send out a strictly service related
announcement. For instance, if our service is
temporarily suspended for maintenance we might send
users an email. Generally, users may not opt-out of
these communications, though they can deactivate their
account. However, these communications are not
promotional in nature.
We communicate with users on a regular
basis to provide requested services and in regards to
issues relating to their account we reply via email or
phone, in accordance with the users wishes.

Sharing Information
Though we make every effort
to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose
personal information when required by law wherein we
have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary
to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court
order or legal process served on our Web site.
We
share aggregated demographic information with our
partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any
personally identifiable information.
ChargeToday.com
shares Web site usage information about users with
reputable advertisers for the purpose of targeting our
Internet banner advertisements on this site and other
sites. For example, ChargeToday.com uses cookies and
clear GIFs on this site, which allow them to recognize a
user's cookie when a user visits this site. The
information they collect and share through this
technology is not personally identifiable.
We share much of
our data, including personal information about you, with
our joint ventures that are committed to serving you
throughout the world. To the extent that these entities
have access to your information, they will treat it at
least as protectively as they treat information they
obtain from their other users. Our subsidiaries and
joint ventures follow privacy practices no less
protective of all users than our practices described in
this document, to the extent allowed by applicable law.
In the
event ChargeToday.com goes through a business
transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another
company, or selling a portion of its assets, users’
personal information will, in most instances, be part of
the assets transferred.

Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the
opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having their information
used for purposes not directly related to our Site at
the point where we ask for information. Users who no
longer wish to receive communications may opt-out of
receiving these communications by replying to
unsubscribe in the subject line in the email or email us
at
remove@ChargeToday.com
Users
of our site are always notified when their information
is being collected by any outside parties. We do this
so our users can make an informed choice as to whether
or not they should proceed with services that require an
outside party.
Links
This Web site contains links
to other sites. Please be aware that we,
ChargeToday.com, are not responsible for the privacy
practices of such other sites. We encourage our users
to be aware when they leave our site and to read the
privacy statements of each and every Web site that
collects personally identifiable information. This
privacy statement applies solely to information
collected by this Web site.

Security
This Web site takes every
precaution to protect our users’ information. When
users submit sensitive information via the Web site,
their information is protected both online and
off-line.
When our registration/order
form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as
credit card number and/or social security number), that
information is encrypted and is protected with the best
encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a
secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on
the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator
and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as
opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just
‘surfing’.
While we use SSL encryption
to protect sensitive information online, we also do
everything in our power to protect user-information
off-line. All of our users’ information, not just the
sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in
our offices. Only employees who need the information to
perform a specific job (for example, a customer service
representative) are granted access to personally
identifiable information. Furthermore, ALL employees
are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy
practices. Finally, the servers that store personally
identifiable information are in a secure environment.
If users have any questions
about the security at our Web site, users can send an
email to
information@ChargeToday.com

Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal
Information
If a user’s personally identifiable
information changes (such as zip code, phone, email or
postal address), or if a user no longer desires our
service, we provide a way to correct, update or
delete/deactivate users’ personally identifiable
information. This can usually be done by emailing our
Customer Support or contact us by telephone or postal
mail at the contact information listed below.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy
policy, we will post those changes to this privacy
statement, the homepage, and other places we deem
appropriate so our users are always aware of what
information we collect, how we use it, and under what
circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
If, however, we are going to use users’
personally identifiable information in a manner
different from that stated at the time of collection we
will notify users by posting a notice on our Site for 30
days.
