During this member registration process, we will ask you for personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, mailing address, zip code, country, gender, birthdate, age, member name and password.

w2wlink.com uses the information it gathers for several purposes, such as to understand more about our audience's interests, to communicate with you and to give you a better experience when visiting the w2wlink.com site by personalizing tools, content, services and email messages. w2wlink.com also uses this information to build new services and develop offers thatw2wlink.com believes are more relevant and valuable to you.

Information gathered by w2wlink.com

When you visit the w2wlink.com site and interact with the services and tools that reside there, w2wlink.com and third parties with whom w2wlink.com has contracted to provide services to w2wlink.com may collect information on your actions. This type of information is generally collected from two sources. One is from the server log files and the other is from cookies. Please read more about them in the section below.

Information collected by w2wlink.com through IP address and cookies

IP Address
Your IP address is a number that is assigned by your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to your computer to identify its location. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website. We also sometimes use IP addresses to communicate with members and subscribers and possibly even ban those members who are not complying with our Terms and Conditions.

Cookies
Our site uses a feature of your browser to set a "cookie" on your computer. Cookies are small packets of information that a site's computer stores on your computer. We can then read the cookies whenever you visit the w2wlink.com site. We use cookies to save your password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our site, to deliver content specific to your interests, to track the pages you've visited and to make sure you don't see the same ads repeatedly. These cookies allow us to use the information we collect to customize your w2wlink experience so that your visit now and in the future to w2wlink.com is as relevant and as valuable to you as possible.

You may modify your browser preference to provide you with choices relating to cookies. You have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may be unable to use those w2wlink.com services that require registration in order to participate or will have to re-register each time you visit the site.

How information is collected and disseminated

The information collected by w2wlink.com site is used to create aggregated portraits of the w2wlink.com community, portraits which present anonymous statistical demographic information but no personally identifiable information. This aggregated information is used, among other things, to determine trends and needs, and also to supply market research to potential advertisers and partners to help them understand whom the w2wlink.com community is. For example, we may create a report that tells advertisers that 80 percent of our members are professional females in a certain age range, so that they can determine which of their products or services are most appropriate for our members.

  1. Disclosure of Information
    We will not sell, exchange, rent, lease or otherwise disclose your personally identifiable information or sensitive personal information to other third party. w2wlink.com may disclose personal information in special cases: (1) when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) the rights of w2wlink.com or to anyone that could be harmed by such activities; (2) when we believe in good faith that the law requires it; (3) to our parent company or to any third party who may acquire w2wlink.com; and (4) in situations involving threats to the physical safety of any person.

  2. Opt-Out Procedures
    You may always opt-out of receiving communications from us. To remove any personal information from our database or to not receive future e-mail communications from w2wlink.com, send an e-mail to webmaster@w2wlink.com with the word "remove" in the subject line. Further, if you do not want your personal information shared with third parties in the manner discussed in Section 3, "Disclosure of Information," please notify w2wlink.com by e-mail to webmaster@w2wlink.com or at the following address:

  3. Security of Information
    You can be assured that personal information collected through the Site is secure and is maintained in a manner consistent with current industry standards. The importance of security for all personal information associated with our subscribers is of utmost concern to us. Your personal information is protected in several ways. Your personal information resides on a secure server that only selected w2wlink.com employees and contractors have access to via password. We encrypt your personal information and thereby prevent unauthorized parties from viewing such information when it is transmitted to us. In order to most efficiently serve you, credit card transactions and order fulfillment are handled by established third-party banking, processing agents and distribution institutions. They receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information and to process and ship your order. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the internet which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this Site cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party.

  4. Links
    This Site may contain links to the websites of third parties not affiliated with w2wlink.com. You understand, acknowledge and agree that these links are provided solely as a convenience to you and not as an endorsement by the Site or w2wlink.com of the content, advertising or business practices. w2wlink.com is NOT responsible for the privacy practices or the content on any of these other websites, including any sites that may indicate a special relationship or "partnership" with w2wlink.com. w2wlink.com does not disclose unique identifiers to those responsible for the linked sites. The linked sites, however, may collect personal information from you when you link to their site. This collecting of information is not subject to the control of w2wlink.com. To ensure protection of your privacy, always review the privacy policies of the sites you visit by linking from this Site.

  5. Our Commitment to Children's Privacy
    Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. We never collect or maintain information at the Site from persons we know to be under age 13, and no part of our Site is designed to attract anyone under age 13. Please do not communicate with or contact us if you are under age 13. By your participation in our Site activities, you certify that you are at least 13 years of age and meet any other eligibility requirements of the Site.

  6. Changes to this Privacy Policy
    w2wlink.com may revise this Privacy Policy over time as new features are added to the Site or as Internet law and standards evolve. We will post those changes prominently but we do recommend that you read this Privacy Policy each time you visit the Site. Changes will not apply retroactively to personal information that was collected before the changes to the Privacy Policy, except as may be required by law.
