Privacy Policy |
|
The purpose of this privacy policy is to inform you, as a welcome visitor to http://www.ultimateovernight.com (the "Site"), what kinds of information we may gather about you when you visit the Site, how UltimateOvernight, LLC ("Ultimate" or "we") may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct, the information. Finally, please note that this policy applies to our Site and other websites that carry the UltimateOvernight brand or trademark, and not to other companies' or organizations' websites to which we link.
Our privacy policy and practices are detailed below and we ask you to read them fully. The policy is derived from three pledges that we make to you, our users:
- We pledge that we will not use information about you without your permission.
- We pledge that we will provide the means for you to manage and control the information that you have provided to us.
- We pledge that we will provide mechanisms for you to communicate your privacy concerns to us and that we will respond to them thoroughly and thoughtfully.
We are currently designing technical mechanisms that we feel will greatly enhance your control over the data that you provide to us. Check back to this page from time to time to see these new features.
Registration You can visit our Site and use many of our services without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself; however, we require that you first register to use the Site. During the registration process we require you to complete certain fields, request that you complete other fields and ask you to select a user name and password. For example, we may ask for user contact information (such as first and last name, e-mail address, and zip code). This contact information may be used for several things:
- to welcome you to the Site;
- to send you advertisements that closely match your interests (if you choose not to opt out);
- to share your information with our sponsors and partners (if you choose to opt in).
With your permission we may share the information that you provide us with selected third parties, primarily our advertisers and sponsors. You may choose not to opt in at time of registration so that we would not share such information. If you choose to opt in, you will receive e-mail communications from us about--among other things—the Site and our services, as well as offers tailored to your interests by our advertisers and sponsors. You will only receive those communications if you opt in at the time of registration.
During your use of our site and our services, we may collect additional demographic and profile data. We may use this data to personalize your experience at our site, such as showing you content that we think you will be interested in, and displaying the content according to your preferences. We may share this information with selected advertisers and sponsors. If you do not wish demographic or profile information to be shared, then you may opt out at the time of registration. You can update your personal information by clicking the "Preferences" link, which is available when you log in to the Site.
From time to time, we may run contests on our site in which we ask participants for contact information, such as their e-mail addresses. If you participate in contests, your contact information will be used primarily to reach you in connection with the contests. We may also use the collected contact information to send you information about the Site, our services, as well as offers tailored to your interests by our advertisers and sponsors. You may opt out of receiving such mailings at the time of registration for the contest.
There are also instances where we may share your personal information with carefully selected companies we have relationships with. We will share this information with these companies only if you have chosen not to opt out of receiving advertising materials from them. In the event that you previously chose not to opt out, but wish to remove yourself from these mailing lists, you may send e-mail directly to
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
and we will have your personal information removed from that company's user database. In addition, should we add new features that require the sharing of your personal information with an additional advertiser or sponsor, and you do not wish to have us do so, you may also use the above e-mail address to request that we not share your information.
In certain special cases, we may disclose user information 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 interfering with our rights, property or operations, other Site users, or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities. We may also disclose user information when we believe the law requires it, or in response to any demand by law enforcement authorities in connection with a criminal investigation.
Cookies and How We Use Them A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. We use cookies to help us provide customizable services and to allow you to sign in to our Site. For example, we can store your zip code in a cookie and this enables us to show you your local weather each time you visit our Site. Cookies also make Web surfing easier for you by saving your preferences while you are on our Site.
Our Site uses one or more third party companies to serve advertisements at our site. These companies may use cookies to ensure that you do not see the same advertisements too often, but they also may collect information about you when you view or click an advertisement at our site. Cookies that are received with advertisements are read and placed by one of our advertising companies, and we do not have access to them, nor can we control how they are used. Cookies may also be collected by our partners on co-branded websites, so please be aware of this as you visit these sites.
You can choose whether to accept the cookies that we send to you by changing the settings of your browser. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies, or to allow your browser to show you when a cookie is being sent. If you choose not to accept these cookies, your experience at our site may be diminished and some features will not work as intended.
Use of IP Addresses An IP address is a set of numbers that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you log in to your Internet service provider or through your company's local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN). Web servers--the big computers that provide Web pages for viewing--automatically identify your computer by the IP address assigned to it during your session.
We may collect IP addresses for purposes of system administration, to report aggregate user information to our advertisers, and to audit the use of our Site. We do not ordinarily link a user's IP address to anything personally identifiable to that user, which means that your session will be logged, but you remain anonymous to us. However, we can and will use IP addresses to identify users of our Site when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our site's terms of use or terms of service, or to protect our service, site, or other users.
Third Party Relationships In order to provide you with news and features that match your local interests, we have created and continue to create relationships with many companies throughout the world. You can recognize these sites by the joint branding of our Site and such media companies. For example, if you see a logo in the upper right corner of the page that says "UltimateOvernight," you are on a co-branded site.
Whenever you provide registration information on co-branded sites, that data may be shared with our business partners. You should make every effort to read these privacy policies, and make an informed decision on your own whether or not to continue based upon these sites' privacy practices and your own discretion. However, we will make every effort to ensure that you have the ability to opt out of the sharing of such data with our media partners. You may e-mail us directly at
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
and we will forward your request to the appropriate company.
In addition to finding co-branded sites, you will find direct links on our site to sites offered by third parties. Some of these sites are authorized to use the UltimateOvernight brand and/or logo. We carefully evaluate all parties that are authorized to use its brand and/or logo, and believe that all such sites have adopted acceptable privacy policies. Again, you should read these privacy policies, and make an informed decision on your own whether or not to continue based upon these sites' privacy practices and your own discretion. No third party sites are covered by this Privacy Policy. If you feel that a site using our brand and/or logo does not follow an acceptable privacy policy, please send us an e-mail at
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
. We will forward complaints to the appropriate third parties and may, in particular circumstances, decide to advocate on your behalf to attempt to cause the third parties to change their privacy policies.
We provide certain user information to third parties in aggregate form in order to facilitate the sale of advertising and the sponsorship of services on the Site.
Security We operate secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection. We have security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of your user data under our control.
Only authorized employees have access to the information you provide us. For example, we impose strict rules on employees who have access either to the databases that store user information or to the servers that host our services. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will not occur, we make every effort such as the use of employee passwords and nondisclosure agreements, to prevent such unfortunate occurrences.
