Dazzle Yellow Pages respects your right
to privacy.
This privacy policy applies only to
the privacy of users of the
dazzleyellowpages.com.comweb site. It
does not apply to the offline activities
of Shyam InfoNet.
or any of its affiliates.
Privacy Policy Effective Date /
Updates
This Privacy Policy is effective as of
April 13, 2006. Our business changes
constantly. This Privacy Policy will
change also, and use of information that
we gather now is subject to the Privacy
Policy in effect at the time of use. We
may e-mail periodic reminders of
material changes to our Privacy Policy,
unless you have instructed us not to,
but you should check our web site
frequently to see recent changes. Notice
of any changes to this Privacy Policy
shall be given by posting the version of
the Privacy Policy containing such
changes on this web site.
What information does the Web site
gather?
When you visit this site you may provide
information on two different levels
about your visit:
|
|
Anonymous
statistics collected as you
browse the site |
|
|
Personal
information you knowingly give
us |
Please be assured that we do not collect
personal information about you from the
website unless you provide it to us.
This means that you can visit our Web
sites without telling us who you are or
revealing any personally identifiable
information about yourself (such as your
e-mail address).
As you browse the site, our web servers
collect information about your visit,
not about you personally. Via web server
logs, we monitor statistics such as:
|
|
How many people visit our site |
|
|
Which pages people visit on our
site |
|
|
From which domains our visitors
come (e.g., aol.com, google.com,
yahoo.com) |
|
|
Which browsers people use to
visit our site |
None of this information is associated
with you as an individual (see
information about cookies below). We use
these statistics to improve our Web
site, to monitor its performance, and to
make the Web site easier for you and
other visitors to use.
What about pages that ask for
personal information?
When visitors supply information about
themselves for a specific purpose, we
use the information for that purpose
(such as to provide the service or
information the visitor has requested).
For example, you may be asked to give us
individual information to purchase a
product or service, receive information,
manage online account registration, or
apply for a job. The information may
range from your zip code, to your phone
number, account number, a credit card
number, age, gender, mother's maiden
name, social security number, e-mail
address, organization URL, resume, or
mailing address.
When visitors use our Web site to order
services, we may use this personally
identifiable information as we would use
the same information obtained in a
traditional non-electronic manner. For
example, to publish your name, address,
and phone number in our directories
(unless you have requested a
non-published number), or to evaluate
your service needs and contact you
regarding additional services you may
find useful. If you do not want us to
contact you, you can remove your name
from our telephone or mail solicitation
lists by clicking on
Contact Us. Please note that this
removes your name from
dazzleyellowpages.com, however, to be
removed from other websites in the Shyam
InfoNet
family of companies, contact
them directly.
Dazzle Yellow Pages does not knowingly collect
information from children through this
web site. This web site, and any web
site to which users may link from this
web site, may contain content provided
by advertisers or other third parties
that may not be suitable for children.
Dazzle Yellow Pages asks parents or legal guardians
to assist Dazzle Yellow Pages by supervising the
activities of children at this web site.
What happens to information when I
fill out registration forms?
The registration forms request accurate
contact information (like name and
e-mail address) and preferences that
help us better serve you. Your name and
e-mail address are used to send you
information about our company, product
updates, special offers, and
newsletters. You may change your email,
user ID or password online; or you can
choose to remove your name from our user
list by going to Contact Us and emailing
us a request to remove your name.
To improve the services we can offer
you, we may decide to expand the site's
capabilities for obtaining information
about users in the future. We will
update this privacy statement as
policies change to ensure that you are
aware of developments in this area.
Do you sell or give my information to
companies outside of the "Dazzle
Yellow Pages
Family?"
We do not sell or disclose personally
identifiable information obtained online
about our visitors, to anyone outside of
the "Dazzle Yellow Pages Family" unless you
specifically authorize it, to complete a
transaction that you initiated, it is
required by law, or disclosure is
necessary to protect the safety of
customers, employees or property. If you
provide personally identifiable
information to us in the context of an
event Dazzle Yellow Pages sponsors with another
company, such as a contest, or if you
register on a co-sponsored site or
feature, you may also be providing the
personally identifiable information to
the co-sponsor. This will be made clear
to you before you submit the information
and you can decide whether or not to
participate.
Dazzle Yellow Pages may share non-personally
identifiable information with non-"Dazzle
Yellow Pages
Family" companies in order to assess the
results of a promotion, event or third
party relationship, to provide
information to current or prospective
customers, to complete a search or to
otherwise enhance your online
experience. For example, we may provide
statistical information that is not
identified with you:
|
|
|
The number of people who visit
the website, which pages were
visited and for how long, the
referral URL, the user's IP
address, and the User Agent. |
|
|
|
When we host co-branded versions
of the dazzleyellowpages.com site (or
portions of the
dazzleyellowpages.com
site). Our co-branded sites may
also contain clear GIFs
(electronic images that allow
this site to collect anonymous
information about your visit to
the site). |
|
|
|
Non-personally identifiable
information may also be
disclosed to non-Dazzle Yellow
Pages-Family
companies if it is required by
law, or disclosure is necessary
to protect the safety of
customers, employees or
property. |
This does not contain any information
that would personally identify you.
In addition, Dazzle Yellow Pages may support
features and content that appear on
other companies' web sites that you may
visit. These companies may collect
information about you, but Dazzle Yellow
Pages does
not have control over the collection
practices of these companies. If you are
visiting a web site that indicates that
it is "powered by
dazzleyellowpages.com.com," you
are advised to read the privacy policy
of that web site for its policies
regarding information collection and
usage.
Does this site send e-mail to site
visitors?
At times, online surveys are conducted
in which you can choose to participate.
In addition, we may use e-mail to
communicate with our customers, to
respond to visitors' e-mail, to confirm
orders placed online, and to send
information that a visitor has
requested. Occasionally, we may use
opt-in e-mail lists from third parties
to promote our latest specials. If you
receive an unwanted e-mail from us, you
can click Contact Us and simply ask us
to remove you from our list.
Do you accommodate links to other
sites?
This website contains links to other web
sites. These other web sites may, among
other things, allow you to bid on and/or
purchase products that you initially
viewed on this web site. These other web
sites may (or may not) be co-branded
with Dazzle Yellow Pages or
dazzleyellowpages.com.com branding. You can tell if you
have linked from one web site to another
web site by looking at the URL in the
browser window. If the second level
domain of the URL for the page
containing the link is different than
the second level domain of the URL for
the page to which you have linked, you
have linked to a different web site. For
example, if you link from a page located
at the URL
www.thirdleveldomain.dazzleyellowpages.com.com
to a page located at the URL
www.dazzleyellowpages.com.secondleveldomain.com,
you have linked to another site. Please
note that any of Dazzle Yellow Pages's trademarks or
service marks (e.g.,
dazzleyellowpages.com) may be included in the URL of a
co-branded or private label web site
that is owned and operated by a third
party, in a location other than that
occupied by the second level domain
(e.g., as the third level domain). The
companies that own or operate these web
sites may track and/or collect
information about you, but Dazzle Yellow
Pages does
not have control over the privacy
practices (including, without
limitation, those relating to tracking
user activity, collection of user data,
use of user data, and security) of these
companies (although, when a user
activates a link from this web site one
of these other web sites, Dazzle Yellow
Pages may
pass the user's referral URL and IP
address to the server hosting such other
site). We are not responsible for the
privacy policies or practices
(including, without limitation, those
related to tracking, collection, use and
security) employed by (or in connection
with) other sites, and we are not
responsible for the content on, or
operation of, other sites (including,
without limitation, any transactions
conducted through such other sites). We
are committed to safeguarding customer
privacy on our website. If you are
visiting a web site via a link on this
web site, you are advised to read the
privacy policy of that other web site
for its policies regarding information
tracking, collection, usage and
security.
What is Dazzle Yellow Pages's position regarding
online advertising and third party ad
servers?
Dazzle Yellow Pages accepts advertisements from
third parties that serve advertising
into the dazzleyellowpages.com
sites. Dazzle Yellow Pages may use "clear gifs"
provided by such third parties in the
pages containing the ad(s) that Dazzle
Yellow Pages
sends to your browser. These "clear
gifs" provide usage pattern information
about the ads to third parties. The data
does not contain personally identifiable
information.
As part of the online advertising
process, we may use information supplied
from third party ad serving companies as
well as other third party companies in
several ways such as to:
|
|
|
gain a better understanding of
the type of individuals viewing
or visiting different web sites |
|
|
|
evaluate and prioritize site
selection when developing online
media plan |
|
|
|
geographically target
advertising |
|
|
|
deliver product and pricing
advertising/information
applicable to the customers'
state |

However, customers are free to delete
website cookies. Most internet browsers
enable you to erase cookies from your
computer hard drive, block all cookies,
or receive a warning before a cookie is
stored. To disable cookies, see "Setting
Cookie Preferences" at the end of this
policy.
However, you need to understand that
some websites/ad serving companies have
the ability to reestablish your history
even after cookie deletion, if you
reenter the same site on another
occasion, or some other site tracked by
the ad serving company/network, and
specifically provide personal data.
Deletion of cookies alone does not
prevent ad serving companies from
reestablishing history on a visitor. The
visitor must either continue to decline
cookies each time it reenters the site
to keep the tracking severed, if
desired, or opt-out. When you opt-out,
your unique user ID cookie is erased and
you are reassigned an anonymous, non-id
cookie. This new cookie tells websites
that you have opted out and they will
then know not to attempt to assign other
cookies to you in the future. Opt-out
cookies do not contain a unique user ID
number therefore websites are not able
to identify your computer uniquely.
Customers who choose to continually
delete cookies and not opt out can have
their browser advise them each time a
web site attempts to send a cookie to
your system. At that time, you can
choose to either Accept or Cancel a
cookie.
Customers who choose to "opt out" after
deleting cookies will receive an
anonymous/non personally identifiable
cookie.
Does Dazzle Yellow Pages use the information
provided online to profile its
customers?
The combination of offline and online
information provided by the customer has
the ability to enhance the customer
experience, and make the consumer's
interaction with Dazzle Yellow Pages more meaningful
and relevant. Dazzle Yellow Pages requires
notification of any consumer profiling
or purchasing behavior being captured by
Dazzle Yellow Pages online and combined with offline
information be clearly stated to the
consumer at the time of online data
collection. The consumer will have the
ability to choose not to have that
information aggregated and be part of
subsequent marketing campaigns by so
indicating at the point of the
application, or by choosing to Opt-Out
of future marketing campaigns from
Dazzle Yellow Pages by clicking on
Contact Us.
Please note:
We may disclose personal information
when required by law or in the good
faith belief that such action is
necessary in order to conform to the
edicts of the law or to comply with a
legal process served relating to our web
site.
