Axioma Search LLC Privacy Notice   Our company, Axioma Search LLC ("Axioma") recognizes that privacy is important and we take your privacy seriously. As part of our effort to protect your privacy we established this privacy policy. This Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy" or "Policy") explains the types of information we gather and what we do with it.   USE OF THIS SITE SIGNIFIES YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND AGREEMENT TO COMPLY WITH THE ENTIRE PRIVACY POLICY.   The privacy policy for the Axioma applies to the Axioma Searcher Software and to all information and pages that comprise it and our web sites ("The Software"). From time to time, new services may be added which improve, modify or enhance the functionality of The Software. Such new services will also be subject to this privacy policy.   What This Privacy Policy Covers The Software utilizes information from third party search engines and processes them through its proprietary software to be displayed as search results. Axioma's privacy policy does not cover any of the third party sites displayed as search results, or otherwise linked to by The Software as they are not controlled by Axioma. By downloading and using The Software you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.   Use of Information Axioma generally does not collect personal information. We do collect limited non-personally identifying information that your browser makes available. This log information includes your Internet Protocol address, activation date, the date and time of your query and your query itself. We may share non-personally identifying information that we collect with Axioma's third party business associates in the normal course of business. We may gather information to improve the navigation, content and usefulness of The Software. In addition, we may use this information for our own internal business uses (i.e. to build industry wide statistics). The Software may contain an area where submissions and feedback can be reported directly to Axioma employees. Any and all information that is voluntarily submitted ("Feedback") will be used for the purposes of reviewing the Feedback and improving Axioma software and services. Axioma reserves the right to utilize the Feedback for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to the provider of the feedback. In any event, any Feedback voluntarily sent to Axioma will not be treated as confidential and Axioma shall not be liable for any disclosure of the Feedback. In the event that Axioma and /or its affiliates are ever sold, acquired, merged, liquidated, reorganized, or otherwise transferred, Axioma reserves the right to transfer its user database together with any personally identifiable information contained herein, to a third-party acquiring Axioma assets. In the event that this takes place, Axioma will notify all users by placing information of such event on its corporate web-site.   PERSONAL INFORMATION Generally, personal information is not collected by Axioma. However, in some instances, personal information may be collected such as when users voluntarily register for services and other promotional opportunities provided on our sites or provide feedback. In the unlikely event that we collect personal information from you in other areas of our sites, we will provide on-screen notification that we are doing so. We may receive personal usage and demographic information from our third-party partners, and we also collect e-mail addresses from users who send us support mail or request technical or other help. This information enables Axioma to improve our sites to make your online visits more productive and enjoyable.   Axioma may share the personal and aggregate information we collect with our agents, affiliates, subsidiaries, and other sites operated by or under the control of Axioma.   AGGREGATE INFORMATION One method of collecting aggregate information about your activities online (such as the pages you access most frequently or the search terms you enter), and information volunteered by you (such as survey or registration information), is by tracking Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you surf the Web. The computers that deliver the Web pages to you automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you request a page from one of our sites, our servers log your IP address. Our sites record IP addresses for the purposes of system administration. Some sites record IP addresses to provide aggregate data to advertisers about the volume of use on those sites. We do not.   DISCLOSING PERSONAL INFORMATION Personally identifying information (e.g., name, postal address, etc.) may be required to receive certain products or catalogs. If you agree and/or give your consent, this information may be shared with our partners or third parties to help us improve our services or to notify you about additional products and services. That is, you may receive information from other companies or entities whose products or services may be of interest to you via email, the U.S. Postal Service or other conventional or electronic means.   In addition, Axioma may disclose personally identifying information upon receipt of legal process seeking such information, or if Axioma determines that disclosure of such information is: (1) required by law; and (2) reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Axioma, its users, or other persons or entities. Nevertheless, Axioma may disclose personally identifying information without first notifying you or obtaining your consent.   ADVERTISING The advertising contained on Axioma is delivered to you by Axioma and it's partners. In the course of delivering an ad to you, Axioma and it's partners do not collect any personal information about you. The non-personally identifiable information, collected by Axioma and it's partners is used for the purpose of targeting ads and measuring ad effectiveness on behalf of Axioma advertisers and Web publishers who specifically request it.   Axioma's policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, and therefore beyond Axioma's control, and is not to be applied in any manner contrary to applicable law or government regulation.   CHILDREN AND PRIVACY Axioma encourages parents and guardians to spend time with their children online, and to be familiar with the sites their children visit. At various places on our sites, we ask whether users are under the age of 18 or 13. Axioma relies on our users to be truthful in responding to these questions.   (a) Individuals Under 13 No information should be submitted to or posted on our sites by users under the age of 13. Individuals under the age of 13 are not allowed to become registered users of our sites.   (b) Individuals 13 Through 17 Axioma requests that children under the age of 18 not submit or post information to our sites. If an individual between the ages of 13 and 17 does so, Axioma may collect information (including personally identifying information). This information may be used for marketing and promotional purposes by Axioma and may, with the user's permission, be shared with pre-screened third parties. If a user or his/her parent or guardian changes his/her mind with respect to such use, that user, parent or guardian may stop that use either by e-mail request or by modifying his/her registration information online.   (c) CHILD ONLINE PROTECTION ACT NOTIFICATION Pursuant to 47 U.S.C. Section 230(d) as amended, Axioma hereby notifies you that parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software, or filtering services) are commercially available that may assist you in limiting access to material that is harmful to minors. Information identifying current providers of such protections is available at the Electronic Frontier Foundation Web site, http://www.eff.org/pub/Censorship/Ratings_filters_labelling/, and at the America Links Up Web site, http://www.netparents.org/parentstips/browsers.html.   COMMUNITY AND PUBLIC AREAS Information posted to message boards, chat areas, clubs and home pages is available to the general public. Please use caution when posting any such information. Users under the age of 18 should be particularly careful not to provide any personally identifying information while using chat rooms or message boards. Users of chat areas and message boards must follow acceptable standards of behavior when posting messages online. Axioma reserves the right to, but is not obligated to, refuse or delete any content that in our sole discretion is considered inappropriate.   LINKS TO OTHER SITES Our sites contain links to sites other than our own. Those sites may not follow the same privacy policies as Axioma. Such links may be to advertisers, content providers or partners who may use our logo and/or style as a result of a co-branding agreement.
