This Privacy Policy applies to Consumer Knowledge Network's ("CKN") method of collection and use of information gathered by us on consumerknowledgenetwork.com (the "Site"). CKN operates other sites which advertise products/services; however, any information collected by us in connection with those sites will be used in accordance with the applicable privacy policy associated with those particular sites. From time to time, we may revise this Privacy Policy. Any changes will be posted here. The effective date of this Privacy Policy is July 1, 2008.
Information Collected
CKN may collect the following personally identifiable information from you on the Site: name and email address ("Personal Information"). We may use your Personal Information to respond to your questions or comments. We also reserve the right to provide or use your Personal Information in the following circumstances: to comply with any valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute or court order; or in special cases, such as if there is an attempted breach of the security of the Site, or a physical threat to you or others. Except as set forth in this policy, CKN will not sell or provide Personal Information collected through this Site to anyone without your permission unless we are legally required to do so.
Passively Collected Information and the Use of Cookie Technology
CKN may passively collect certain information without your prior consent through the use of "cookies" or similar technology. Such information (collected in standard Web server logs) may include your IP address, browser type, and Web access times. We do not extract Personal Information during this process. Currently, we use session cookies to maintain tracking of a user through an application. Session cookies expire at the end of a Web page visit and contain only a numeric session identifier. We use such information in the aggregate to understand which services and resources our visitors prefer and how those services and resources are used. Additionally, passively collected information is used in standard Web traffic analysis, in conjunction with demographic/aggregate analysis of collected user records. We may share aggregate demographic/statistical information with our media partners, clients and other third parties.
Privacy of Children
We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. Neither the Site nor CKN's activities are intended or designed to attract children under the age of 13. We do not collect Personal Information from any person we actually know is a child under the age of 13.
Security
Access to Personal Information is limited to CKN employees or other authorized individuals. Barriers erected to prevent potential breaches of secure information include a sophisticated security system, internal audits, internal policies/procedures and a daily backup of all information.
