What Information is Collected About Visitors?
The information that CommercialDex.com collects about you while you
are using the Service falls into two general categories:
-
Information You Provide to Us - CommercialDex.com may collect and
store information, personal or otherwise, that you voluntarily supply either
while on the CommercialDex.com website or in responding via email
in connection with a feature provided on the CommercialDex.com
website. Some examples of this type of information include demographic
information that you electronically submit when you sign up for access to
certain features on the Service, information (such as your name or email
address) that you electronically submit that you post on message boards on the
CommercialDex.com website, and information contained in search
requests or questions that you submit to the CommercialDex.com
website. If you decline to supply or provide CommercialDex.com with
certain information while using the Service, you may not be able to use or
participate in some or all of the features offered through the Service.
-
Information that is Automatically Collected - CommercialDex.com
also collects and stores information that is generated automatically as you
navigate through the CommercialDex.com website. For example, to
enhance your experience on the CommercialDex.com website,
CommercialDex.com uses a standard feature found in browser software
called a "cookie." Cookies are small files that your web browser places on your
hard drive for record-keeping purposes. By showing how and when visitors use
the CommercialDex.com site, cookies help us track user trends and
patterns. They also prevent you from having to re-enter your preferences on
certain areas of the CommercialDex.com site where you have entered
preference information before. CommercialDex.com also uses web
beacons (also known as "single-pixel GIFs") to access cookies and to count
users who visit the CommercialDex.com site or open
CommercialDex.com's HTML-formatted email messages. Another example
of information that CommercialDex.com automatically collects as you
navigate the CommercialDex.com site is information about your
computer's connection to the Internet. This information allows us, among other
things, to improve the delivery of our web pages to you and to measure traffic
on the CommercialDex.com site.
How is this Information Used?
CommercialDex.com uses the information it collects from you while
you are using the Service in a variety of ways, including using the information
to customize features and advertising that appear on the
CommercialDex.com website. We also may provide your information to
third parties, such as service providers, contractors, and advertisers, for a
variety of purposes. For example, we may provide our advertisers with
information about you and other visitors that will enable our advertisers to
better target ads to specific types of visitors.
CommercialDex.com reserves the right to use and to disclose to third
parties all of the information that CommercialDex.com collects
online about you and other visitors in any way and for any purpose, with one
important exception. CommercialDex.com will not use the information
that it collects online from you while you are using the Service, nor will
CommercialDex.com authorize third parties to use such information,
to mail or email promotional offers directly to you unless you have
specifically informed CommercialDex.com that you would like to
receive promotional offers from CommercialDex.com and/or from third
parties. If you choose to receive these promotional offers, then your
information may be used for direct mail or email marketing.
Please also keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily make your personal
information available for viewing by third parties online – for example on
message boards, through email or web logs, or in chat areas – that information
can be seen, collected and used by others besides
CommercialDex.com. CommercialDex.com cannot be
responsible for any unauthorized third party use of such information.
The CommercialDex.com website includes links to other websites and
provides access to products and services offered by third parties, whose
privacy policies we do not control. When you access another website or purchase
third party products or services through the Service, use of any information
you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you
are visiting or the provider of such products or services.
We also make some content, products and services available through our Service
through cooperative relationships with third party providers, where the brands
of our provider partner appear on the Service in connection with such content,
products and/or services. We may share with our provider partner any
information you provide, or that is collected, in the course of visiting any
pages that are made available in cooperation with our provider partner. In some
cases, the provider partner may collect information from you directly; in which
cases the privacy policy of the provider partner may apply to the provider
partner’s use of your information. The privacy policy of our provider partners
may differ from ours. If you have any questions regarding the privacy policy of
one of our provider partners, you should contact the provider partner directly
for more information. In addition, certain affiliated BLUE GUMBO divisions,
such as other BLUE GUMBO websites, provide online services that are
separate from our Service and may be subject to privacy policies that are
different from ours. If you have any question about the privacy policy that
applies to the online service you are using, you should click on the relevant
link on the page of the service that you are using.
Be aware that CommercialDex.com may occasionally release information
about visitors when release is appropriate to comply with law, to enforce our
Terms of Service agreement, or to protect the rights, property or safety of
visitors to our site, the public, or CommercialDex.com.
Please also note that as our business grows, we may buy or sell various assets.
In the unlikely event that CommercialDex.com, some or all of our
assets, or our site is acquired by another company, information about our
visitors may be among the transferred assets.
