This Privacy Policy demonstrates my companies commitment to privacy and security. This Privacy Policy describes how my company collects information from all end users of my Internet services – those who access some of my Services but do not have accounts as well as those who may purchase Products and/or pay a monthly service fee to subscribe to the Service (“Premium Members”) -what we do with the information we collect, and the choices Visitors and Premium Members have concerning the collection and use of such information.

Personal Information My Company Collects and How It Is Used
Introduction. My company collects information in different ways from Visitors and Members who access the my Services and the network of Web sites accessible through my Service.
Registration: Members and Premium Members may be asked to provide certain personal information when they sign up for our Products or Services including name, address, telephone number, billing information (such as a credit card number). The personal information collected from Members during the registration process is used to manage each Member’s account (such as for billing purposes). This information may be shared with third parties, as stated herein, or in special circumstances.
However, in instances where my company and a partner jointly promote our Services, I may provide the partner certain personal information, such as the name, address, and username of persons who subscribed to the Services as a result of the joint promotion for the purpose of offering you other products and services.
Some products and services may be offered to Visitors and Members in conjunction with an affiliate, independent contractor seller or non-affiliated partner. To provide Visitors and Members some of these products and services, the partner may need to collect and maintain personal information.
Online Shopping: At some Web sites, you can purchase products and services or register to receive materials, such as a newsletter, catalog or new product and service updates. In many cases, you may be asked to provide contact information, such as your name, address, email address, phone number, and credit/debit card information.
If you complete an order for someone else, such as an online gift order sent directly to a recipient, you may be asked to provide information about the recipient, such as the recipient’s name, address, and phone number. My company has no control over the third parties’ use of any personal information you provide when placing such an order. Please exercise care when doing so.
If you order services or products directly from my company, we use the personal information you provide to process that order. I do not share this information with outside parties.
Responses to Email Inquiries: When Visitors or Members send email inquiries to my company, the return email address is used to answer the email inquiry I receive.
I may disclose personal information about Visitors or Members, or information regarding your use of the Services or Web sites accessible through my Services, for any reason if, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to do so, including: law enforcement, or to satisfy laws be it international, European or laws of Austria, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Child Online Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental or legal requests for such information; to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating my Acceptable Use Policy or Terms Of Service, or other user policies; to operate the Services properly; or to protect my company and my Members.
