Information for FirstChoice1.com
FirstChoice1.com Statement of Privacy: FirstChoice1.com r
ecognizes the confidentiality of information that may be
disclosed by members in registering or making purchases from our
Website and we are firmly committed to protecting your privacy.
The following discloses our information gathering and
dissemination practices for this site.
Overview:
The personal, private information that is provided to
FirstChoice1.com by individual members is not provided to
unrelated third parties except in rare cases involving possible
violations of our use policies or legal statutes. We do collect
some data, always with your knowledge and
consent, that is used to fulfill orders and otherwise
enhance content to better meet the needs of our users.
Information submitted by you online (such as products you
purchase from FirstChoice1.com, your name, address, e-mail
address) may be shared with companies with which
FirstChoice1.com has a commerce relationship and through which
you reached this site, for marketing purposes. In such
circumstances you will be considered their customer as well. If
you object to such use, you may opt-out by e-mail request. Under
no circumstances will FirstChoice1.com share with any other
party your password or other personal information it may acquire
about children, family, etc.
Demographic information collected through on-site user surveys
may be used in aggregate statistical form to attract potential
sponsors.
The specifics of our Privacy Policy are best described in the
answers to the following Frequently Asked Questions:
Does FirstChoice1.com ask for personal information?
Yes. FirstChoice1.com asks for your name,
e-mail address, and other limited personal information when you
sign up as a member and use features such as e-mail, and make
purchases at the FirstChoice1.com online store. Most of
this information may be entered at your discretion. We may ask
for similar information at other times, such as when you enter
sweepstakes or other promotions sponsored by FirstChoice1.com
and/or our many partners.
How Does FirstChoice1.com use my personal information?
Our goal is to provide you with the most personalized, relevant,
user-friendly Web experience possible. The primary use of all
your personal information is to efficiently provide you with
relevant information.
FirstChoice1.com will also use
registration information to let you know about new features or
other offers of interest from FirstChoice1.com, or to address
customer service needs and requests.
In distributing advertiser or sponsor messages, the
advertiser never has access to individual account information.
FirstChoice1.com does not sell, rent
or otherwise distribute the personal information you provide us
to these advertisers. Advertisers simply provide an
insertion order for the advertising message and FirstChoice1.com
then displays the ad to appropriate users based on the criteria
specified in the order.
Does FirstChoice1.com request or require any personal financial
information?
To facilitate payment and fulfillment for membership and
purchases at the FirstChoice1.com Online Store, FirstChoice1.com
will request personal credit card or debit card information. In
order to take advantage of other value-added family services
that may be offered by FirstChoice1.com in the future, users may
be required to supply financial information.
Will FirstChoice1.com disclose any of my personal information to
third parties?
FirstChoice1.com will not disclose any of your personal
information, except with your knowledge and consent as described
in this policy or as may be required by law, or to protect the
rights or property of FirstChoice1.com.
Circumstances where limited personal information may be
disclosed are specifically described when the data is collected,
such as in the User Agreement, or in the rules of sweepstakes or
other promotions. So in all cases you control what, if any,
information you disclose.
FirstChoice1.com reserves the right to disclose aggregated user
statistics, such as "45% of our users are female" or "47% of our
users earn $50,000 or more per year" in order to describe our
services to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third
parties. Under protection of confidentiality agreements,
FirstChoice1.com may match common user information, such as
name, address and phone number with third party data to avoid
duplication and prevent errors.
Additionally, if you click away from FirstChoice1.com to visit
the site of any third party advertiser or sponsor, you may be
asked for your credit card or other personal information in
order to purchase or use products and services offered. These
companies have their own privacy and data collection practices.
FirstChoice1.com has no responsibility or
liability for these independent policies. You should
therefore review their privacy policies carefully if you have
concerns about how your information may be used.
Will FirstChoice1.com use my information for direct mailings?
Only at your option. FirstChoice1.com
will occasionally send e-mail messages to advise members when
new information has been posted to the Web site or to announce
special product and service offerings that we feel may be of
interest to you. If you do not want to receive such mailings,
you may opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe link listed
in the e-mail.
May I refuse to provide personal information to FirstChoice1.com
or to accept advertising?
Yes and No. Visitors may access
FirstChoice1.com’s free services without providing any
personal information. To gain full access to the members-only
areas, a username, e-mail address and appropriate billing
information are required. Because the FirstChoice1.com site is
partially advertiser supported, you may not "turn off" the
advertising that appears on FirstChoice1.com pages, but you may
opt to be excluded from any e-mail advertising.
Does FirstChoice1.com use "IP Addresses" and cookies?
IP Addresses: We do use your IP address to help diagnose
problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. Your
IP address is also used to gather broad demographic information
such as geographic distribution of our members.
FirstChoice1.com Cookies:
Contrary to popular myth, cookies do not extract private or
personal information from your computer’s memory, but rather,
record only information you volunteer to us upon registering or
visiting the site. Cookies are tiny files placed onto the hard
drive of your computer when you register at our Web site that
enable our server to recognize or "remember" who you are each
time you return. FirstChoice1.com may make
limited use of cookies to deliver content specific to your
interests. For instance they may be used to retain your personal
preferences, hold session information for a "shopping basket,"
or save your password so it doesn’t have to be re-entered each
time you login.
Advertiser Cookies:
FirstChoice1.com does post third party advertising banners on
personal family Web sites and on FirstChoice1.com general use
pages. These ads may contain cookies used primarily to provide
data to the advertiser about where visitors are coming from.
While we do use cookies in other parts of our Web site as
explained above, cookies received with banner ads may or may not
be collected by our company or be under our control.
Are Chat room dialogues recorded and saved?
Chat is not currently offered at FirstChoice1.com but will be in
the future. Dialogues will NOT be collected, stored, or used by
the company or others.
What else should I know about privacy?
The following encapsulates a few key issues mentioned in context
above.
Member Profiles
Demographic data is collected at our site at the users’ option.
This information may include age and gender and other personal
preferences that can be viewed and tabulated for use in
marketing FirstChoice1.com to advertisers and others. In no case
is personal information given or sold to third parties.
FirstChoice1.com controls the distribution
of ALL information at the site.
Contests & Promotions
FirstChoice1.com may occasionally run contests or other special
promotions on our site in which we ask members or visitors for
contact information (like an e-mail address) or demographic
information (like a zip code, age, or income level). We use this
data to send users promotional material about our company or our
partners. The customer's contact information is also used to
contact the visitor when necessary and may be shared with other
companies for promotional purposes, but only with your prior
permission and under the terms and conditions specified when you
take part in the promotion. At any time, users may opt-out of
receiving future mailings of this kind, or simply decline to
take part in the promotions.
