This Overall Privacy Statement verifies that TBC-IT.Com is in

practices for the entire Web portal.
When you visit the TBC-IT.Com Web portal, you can expect to be
notified of what personally identifiable information of yours is collected; the
organization collecting the information; how the information is used, with whom the
information may be shared; what choices are available to you regarding collection, use and

TBC-IT.Com Privacy Philosophy
Your privacy on the Internet is important to us. Because we gather
certain types of information about TBC-IT.Com users, we want you to understand the terms
and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy
statement discloses what information we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or
change it.
Information that TBC-IT.Com Gathers
TBC-IT.Com gathers several types of information about users,
businesses, governments:
- Personal data, provided through voluntary registration.
- Aggregated data, which tracks users as a whole.
- Cookies data, from personal computers.
- Server data from personal servers and Web servers.
Personal data may be requested when you sign up for TBC-IT.Com
personalized services or register for contests, sweepstakes or other promotional programs
offered on our service. We ask for this in order to provide you with the best Web
experience possible. This information might include member name, password, age,
gender, ZIP code and/or country information. Except as described below, it is not
disclosed to parties other than TBC-IT.Com in any way that personally identifies you
without your prior permission.
Aggregated data, which tracks TBC-IT.Com user activity as a whole
rather than on an individual basis, is gathered through several methods. This
tracking data follows TBC-IT.Com traffic in general, and is not used to identify you
personally.
Aggregated tracking information helps us to determine which areas
of our Portal users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. TBC-IT.Com may
track what you read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us
continue to build a better service for you.
How TBC-IT.Com Uses Information
TBC-IT.Com uses any personal information that's voluntarily given
by you in order to enhance your experience, whether to provide interactive or personalized
elements on the site or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our
users. TBC-IT.Com also uses information that you voluntarily provide in order to send
electronic updates and to let you participate in polls and message boards.
TBC-IT.Com will not disclose any information that personally
identifies you to parties other than TBC-IT.Com without your consent. There are
exceptions:
- When the purpose and manner of disclosure is clearly defined in
advance.
- When we believe in good faith that disclosure is legally required or
to protect our rights.
Contests and Sweepstakes
TBC-IT.Com offers contests and sweepstakes in which we request
certain personal information on a voluntary basis. These contests and sweepstakes are
conducted in full accordance with United States federal and state laws. The full
rules and all information about such contests are clearly posted during the event,
including how information gathered will be used.
Search Terms
As a measure of user interest, we track search terms that are
entered into our Portal. We create aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic
patterns for advertisers and partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise more
effectively, and allows you to receive advertisements that are most relevant to you. An
advertiser will not receive specific information that you clicked their ad unless you
voluntarily permit us to do so.
Cookies and Tracking
A cookie is a small data file that Websites commonly write to your
hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file contains information that can identify
you anonymously in order to track traffic patterns on our Portal. The data is
encrypted for your added security. TBC-IT.Com uses cookies as a way to measure
activity on the site in order to continually improve your experience.
Cookies also provide you with a level of convenience -- since they
"remember" your computer, they enable you to enter TBC-IT.Com Portal as a member
without having to log on each time, and they allow you to visit member-restricted areas of
the Portal.
Your browser can be set to warn you before accepting cookies -- in
this case, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You can choose to
refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. You do not need to have cookies
turned on to use TBC-IT.Com, but you may need them for customizable areas of the Portal
such as local weather forecasts. TBC-IT.Com does allow users to clear cookies.
Electronic Newsletters
TBC-IT.Com offers free, electronic newsletters as a service to our
users, based on a voluntary subscription. You will only receive a newsletter if you
have requested it during registration to several areas of TBC-IT.Com or directly from our
signup form. We do not share newsletter mailing lists with any third parties,
including advertisers or partners, unless you voluntarily permit us to do so when you
register or sign up.
TBC-IT.Com Shopping
Information you provide about yourself during a purchase through a
store hosted by TBC-IT.Com is automatically provided to the owner of that store. This
includes credit card and personal contact information. Each of these online merchants
carry separate privacy and data collection practices from TBC-IT.Com and TBC-IT.Com does
not have any responsibility for their practices.
TBC-IT.Com Content Providers,
Advertisers and Partners
TBC-IT.Com will not provide your personal information to anyone
outside of TBC-IT.Com except in the limited circumstances mentioned, and only then with
your consent.
However, TBC-IT.Com cannot control the practices of other partners
and advertisers. If you have provided personal information to a party or advertiser
connected with TBC-IT.Com and have not been informed by TBC-IT.Com as to its purpose,
contact them directly by going to their home page and looking for a company profile or
information area.
It is important to note that TBC-IT.Com contains many links to
sites other than TBC-IT.Com Portal, and that those sites may not follow the same privacy
policies as TBC-IT.Com. For instance, if you click an ad or a search result on
TBC-IT.Com, this will take you away from TBC-IT.Com and to an entirely different
site. This includes links from advertisers, content providers and partners who may
use TBC-IT.Com logo and/or style as part of a co-branding agreement. These sites may
send their own cookies to you, and as a result, may collect data and ask for personal
information that TBC-IT.Com would not.
Kids and Privacy
TBC-IT.Com requests that children under 18 do not submit or post
any information to the Portal without a parent's or guardian's consent.
However, we will not request or knowingly collect from a child any information online that
can be traced to the child, such as an e-mail address, name, or information about the
child's family.
Unless a parent or guardian consents to such use in advance,
TBC-IT.Com will not knowingly use information that a child provides to TBC-IT.Com for any
marketing, selling or promotional purposes.
Changes to Policy
TBC-IT.Com reserves the right to change this policy at any time by
notifying guests of the existence of a revised privacy policy.
Opt-Out Policy
TBC-IT.Com gives you options wherever necessary and
practical. Such choices include:
- Opting not to receive our electronic newsletters when registering
for a site.
- Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which
completely alleviates the need for any information from our users.
Delete/Deactivate Policy
You may unsubscribe to our electronic newsletter at any time via
e-mail by following the instructions contained at the end of every newsletter.
Currently, TBC-IT.Com does not offer a means by which to completely
delete personal information established at the time of registration for any site. |
