What personally identifiable information does NamSeach.com collect from me? |
| NamSeach.com collects information in several
ways. Some personal information -- such as a
name and e-mail address -- is gathered when you
register for various services, and more detailed
information is collected when we conduct
demographic research. When you are in a section of NamSeach.com and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with NamSeach.com, its divisions and/or its third party service providers unless it is specifically stated otherwise. Promotions that run on NamSeach.com may be sponsored by companies other than NamSeach.com or may be co-sponsored by NamSeach.com and another company. Some or all data collected during a promotion may be shared with the sponsor. Please be aware that NamSeach.com advertisers or websites that have links on our site may collect personally identifiable information about you. The information practices of those websites are not covered by this privacy statement. |

How does NamSeach.com use my information? |
| Our primary goal in collecting personal
information is to provide our users with a
better online experience, including interactive
communications, online shopping and other
services. By knowing a little about you,
NamSeach.com and its partners are able to
deliver more relevant advertisements and
content, and hence better service to you. NamSeach.com delivers targeted advertisements on behalf of advertisers. Advertisers give us an advertisement and tell us the type of audience they want to reach. We take the advertisement and display it to users meeting those criteria. In this process, the advertiser never has access to individual account information. Only NamSeach.com has access to your information. This kind of advertisement targeting is done with banner ads, pop-up advertising, button ads as well as promotional e-mail. NamSeach.com conducts research on our users' demographics, interests and behaviour based on the information provided to us upon registration, during a promotion, from our server log files or from surveys. We do this to better understand and serve our users. This research is compiled and analysed on an aggregated basis. NamSeach.com may share this aggregated data with advertisers or business partners. |

|
With whom does NamSeach.com share my information? |
| As a general rule, NamSeach.com will not
disclose any of your personally identifiable
information except when we have your permission
or under special circumstances, such as when we
believe in good faith that the law requires it
or under the circumstances described below: * Traffic : Web servers serving NamSeach.com automatically collect information about which pages each user visits and the domain name of visitors. This information is used for internal review, to tailor information to individual visitors and for traffic audits. We also provide this information (as well as information from third-party market researchers) about our users on an aggregated, anonymous basis to our advertisers. Any personally identifiable information provided by subscribers online as part of an online advertising promotion, or in order to access a third party service, may be provided directly to the advertiser or third party concerned. * Promotions : Many promotions offer opportunities to request additional information from sponsors. When you request more information about a particular promotion, your e-mail address may be shared with the sponsor of that promotion. * Third parties : Online merchants providing services in association with NamSeach.com have separate privacy and data collection practices. NamSeach.com has no responsibility or liability for these independent policies. For more information regarding the merchant, their store, and their privacy policies, return to that store's home page and click on the appropriate link. * Legal : NamSeach.com may also disclose user information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our policies or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) NamSeach.com's rights or property, other NamSeach.com users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. * Statistics and advertisements : NamSeach.com may perform statistical analyses of user behaviour in order to measure interest in the various areas of our site (for product development purposes) and to inform advertisers as to how many consumers have seen or "clicked" their advertising banners. NamSeach.com also uses demographic information to allow advertising banners on our Web site to be targeted, in aggregate, to the readers for whom they are most pertinent. This means that readers see advertising that is most likely to interest them, and advertisers send their messages to people who are most likely to be receptive, improving both the viewer's experience and the effectiveness of the ads. In this statistical analyses and banner advertisement targeting, we will disclose information to third parties only in aggregate form. |

What are cookies and how does NamSeach.com use them? |
| Cookies are pieces of information a website
transfers to a user's hard drive for
record-keeping purposes. Cookies make surfing
the web easier for you by saving your
preferences while you're at our site. We never
save passwords or credit card information in
cookies. The use of cookies is an industry
standard -- you'll find them at most major
websites. In certain areas of the site, NamSeach.com places a "cookie" on the browser of an NamSeach.com user's computer to store and sometimes track information about you. A cookie can be used to tell when your computer has contacted a Web site; we use the information for purposes such as measuring certain traffic patterns, making sure that you don't see the same ad too many times in a single session, serving personalised content and so on. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of NamSeach.com will not function properly if you refuse cookies. For example, without cookies, you will not be able to save your personal links on Startpage. You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers. NamSeach.com does not control these cookies. The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is standard in the Internet industry. |

Use of IP Address |
| NamSeach.com also logs IP addresses, or the location of your computer on the Internet. An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. NamSeach.com collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregate information to our advertisers, and to audit the use of our site. When users request pages from the NamSeach.com network, our servers log the users' IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a user's session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our policies or Terms of use Agreement, or to protect our service, site, customers or others. | |

Links to Other Sites |
| Users should be aware that when you
are on NamSeach.com, you could be directed to
other sites that are beyond our control. There
are links to other sites from NamSeach.com pages
that take you outside our service, e.g. clicking
on a banner advertisement. These other sites may
send their own cookies to users, collect data or
solicit personal information. NamSeach.com does
not control the privacy policies of our business
partners, advertisers, sponsors or other sites
to which we provide hyperlinks. Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information online -- for example, via message boards or chat -- that information can be collected and used by people you don't know. While NamSeach.com strives to protect its users' personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online and you disclose this information at your own risk. |
