PRIVACY
POLICY
This
privacy policy discloses the privacy
practices of Yesfree.com LLC (“Company”) and all websites owned or
operated by Company
and its subsidiaries and corporate affiliates, including, but not
limited to,
yourfreesurveys.com and onlycashsurveys.com.
Company (sometimes
referred to herein as “us” or “we”) collects your personal information
for use
in connection with the services Company provides. The
following sections describe how your
information is collected by us, and how we use such information.
1.
ACCEPTANCE
1.1 By
using
a Company website(s) and registering for Company services, you become
subject to this privacy policy and the applicable Terms of Use,
including for
any dispute regarding privacy. BY USING OUR WEBSITE, YOU ARE
ACCEPTING THE
PRACTICES SET OUT IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND THE APPLICABLE TERMS OF
USE.
1.2 If
we
decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to our
websites and any other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware
of those
changes. We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time. It is your responsibility to review the
policy frequently in order to remain aware of any changes.
If we make material changes to this policy,
we will notify you here, or by other means, such as e-mail, at our sole
discretion. Your continued use of any
portion of our
website following posting of the updated privacy policy will constitute
your
acceptance of such changes.
2. INFORMATION
COLLECTED
2.1 Personal
Information. When you register to
use our services, we collect a variety of information about you. Generally, we use your information to tailor
our services to you and send you the surveys most relevant to you. We reserve the right to disclose your contact
information (name, mailing address, e-mail address, etc.) to third
parties. However, we will keep strictly
confidential
all other information your provide us, including, without limitation,
sexual
preference, health information, and PayPal account information.
2.2 Log
Files. Any time you visit any of our websites, our servers
automatically
gather information from your browser (such as your IP addresses,
browser type,
Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type,
date/time
stamp, and number of clicks) to analyze trends, administer the site,
prevent
fraud, track visitor movement in the aggregate, and gather broad
demographic
information. For example, we may log your IP address for system
administration
purposes. IP addresses are logged to
track a user’s session. We do not share
the log files externally, and IP addresses are not linked to any
personally
identifiable information.
2.3 Cookies.
We use “cookies” to keep track of some types of information while you
are
visiting our website or using our services. Cookies are very small
files placed
on your computer, and they allow us to count the number of visitors to
our
website and distinguish repeat visitors from new visitors. They also
allow us
to save user preferences and track user trends. We rely on cookies for
the proper
operation of our website. Therefore, if
your browser is set to reject all cookies, the website may not function
properly. Users who refuse cookies assume all responsibility for any
resulting
loss of functionality. We do not link the cookies to any of your
personal
information.
2.4 Web
Beacons. “Web beacons” (also known as “clear gifs” and “pixel
tags”) are
small transparent graphic images that are often used in conjunction
with
cookies in order to further personalize our website for our users and
to collect
a limited set of information about our visitors. We may also use web
beacons in
e-mail communications in order to understand the behavior of our
customers. We
do not link the web beacons to any personal information.
2.5 E-mail
Messages. We require an e-mail address from you when you register
for our
services. We use your e-mail for both transactional (e.g., notifying
you when
you have become eligible for payouts because of your credit level) and
promotional (e.g., daily third-party offers) purposes. E-mail
messages we send you may contain code
that enables our database to track your usage of the e-mails, including
whether
the e-mail was opened and what links (if any) were clicked. We reserve the right to send you certain
communications relating to the Company services, such as service
announcements
and administrative messages. By signing
up for our services, you agree to receive our newsletter and offers to
take
surveys and other money making opportunities. If you do not wish to
receive
these e-mails, you may opt-out at any time, by clicking on the opt-out
link in
the e-mail messages you receive.
3. THIRD-PARTY
DISCLOSURES
3.1 Disclosure
Required
By Law. You acknowledge and agree that we may disclose information
you provide, if required to do so by law, at the request of a third
party, or
if we, in our sole discretion, believe that disclosure is reasonable to
(1)
comply with the law, requests or orders from law enforcement, or any
legal
process (whether or not such disclosure is required by applicable law);
(2)
protect or defend Company’s, or a third party’s, rights or property; or
(3)
protect someone’s health or safety.
3.2 Disclosure
to
Trusted Third Parties. You acknowledge and agree that we may share
your contact
information with certain selected third parties, so that these parties
can send
you daily offers of goods and services that we believe may be of
interest to
our users. This paragraph has no effect
on our rights to use your information in connection with the provision
of
services through our websites.
3.3 Your
Disclosure
to Trusted Third Parties. While visiting our site, we may
provide you with advertisements, promotions, sweepstakes, and offers
from third
party providers. If you choose to accept any such offers, you may
directly
provide your information in connection with the offer to such
third-party
provider. Please refer to the third
party provider’s own privacy policy if you have any questions regarding
how
your information will be used by such providers. Please
be aware that these offers may be
presented on pages framed by a Company website. Although
these offer pages have the look and
feel of our websites, you will be submitting your information directly
to the
third-party advertiser. You agree that
we will not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort
incurred as the result of any such dealings or as the result of the
presence of
such providers on a Company site.
4. ADVERTISING
4.1 We
may
use third-party advertising agencies or other service providers to
serve ads
on our website on behalf of Company or third-party advertisers (e.g.,
retailers
of goods or services). These companies may employ cookies and web
beacons to
measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third
parties
collect through the use of cookies and web beacons is completely
anonymous.
5. OPTING OUT
5.1
Users who no longer wish to receive
our newsletter or promotional materials from our partners may opt-out
of
receiving these communications by replying to us in an e-mail (at the
address
provided below) with "unsubscribe" in the subject line of the e-mail,
or e-mail us at support@yesfree.com.
(Some sites are able to offer
opt-out
mechanisms on member information pages and also supply a telephone or
postal

6. AGE
REQUIREMENTS
6.1 Our
age
restrictions for different services are set forth in the applicable
Terms of
Use. We do not target our sites or
services to children under the age of 13, and in compliance with the
Children’s
Online Privacy Protection Act, any information we may receive from
users we
believe to be under the age of 13 will be purged from our database.
7. SECURITY
MEASURES
7.1 We
have
put in place certain security measures to protect the loss, misuse and
alteration of the information stored in our database. We
will exercise reasonable care in providing
secure transmission of information between your computer and our
servers, but
given that no information transmitted over the Internet can be
guaranteed completely
secure, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information
transmitted
to us over the Internet and hence accept no liability for any
unintentional
disclosure.
8. LINKS

8.1 We
are
not responsible for the privacy policies or practices or the content of
any
other websites that may provide access to, or be linked to or from, our

navigate away from our websites.
