based on the Registration Information for internal analysis,

accessible by any internet user. Any Publishing Information
that you disclose to Worldful becomes public information and
you relinquish any proprietary rights (including but not limited

You should exercise caution when deciding to include personal
or proprietary information in the Publishing Information that
you submit to us. |

Any credit card information that you provide through the Site

copies of your credit card information. While Worldful has
in place up-to-date technology and internal procedures to
guard your Payment Information against intruders, there is
no guarantee that such technology or procedure can eliminate
all of the risks of theft, loss or mis-use. Worldful shall
not be liable to you or any other person for any damages that
might result from unauthorized use, publication, disclosure
or any other mis-use of Payment Information, including credit
card information. |

Statistical Information to third parties, but when we do so,
we do not provide personally-identifying information without
your permission. |
3. Disclosure of Information
| 3.1 |
We reserve the right to disclose your Collected
Information to relevant authorities where we have reason to
believe that such disclosure is necessary to identify, contact
or bring legal action against someone who may be infringing
or threatening to infringe, or who may otherwise be causing
injury to or interference with, the title, rights, interests
or property of Worldful, our Users, customers, partners, other
web site users or anyone else who could be harmed by such
activities. |
| 3.2 |
We also reserve the right to disclose Collected Information
in response to a subpoena or other judicial order or when
we reasonably believe that such disclosure is required by
law, regulation or administrative order of any court, governmental
or regulatory authority. |
| 3.3 |
If we have reason to believe that a User is in breach of
the Terms of User Agreement or any other agreement with us,
then we reserve the right to make public or otherwise disclose
such User’s Collected Information in order to pursue
our claim or prevent further injury to Worldful or others. |
4. Co-Branded Relationships
We have established relationships with other parties
to offer you the benefit of other products and services which
we ourselves do not offer. We offer you access to these other
parties either through the use of hyperlinks to their sites from
our Site, or through offering "co-branded" sites in
which both ourselves and these other parties share the same uniform
resource locator, domain name or pages within a domain name on
the Internet. In some cases you may be required to submit information
for purposes of registering or applying for products or services
provided by such third parties or co-branded partners. The privacy
policy of such other parties may differ from ours, and we may
not have any control over the information that you submit to such
third parties or co-branded sites. We therefore encourage you
to read that policy before responding to any offers, products
or services provided by such other parties.
5. Cookies
| 5.1 |
We use “cookies” to store specific
information about you and track your visits to our Site. It
is not uncommon for web sites to use cookies to enhance identification
of their users. A “cookie” is a small amount of
data that is sent to your browser and stored on your computer's
hard drive. A cookie can be sent to your computer’s
hard drive only if you access our Site using the computer.
If you do not de-activate or erase the cookie, each time you
use the same computer to access our Site, our web servers
will be notified of your visit to our Site and in turn we
may have knowledge of your visit and the pattern of your usage.
Generally, we use cookies to identify you and enable us to
access your Registration Information, Publishing Information
or Payment Information so you do not have to re-enter it;
gather statistical information about usage by Users; research
visiting patters and help target advertisements based on User
interests; assist our partners to track User visits to the
Site and process orders; and track progress and participation
in promotions. |
| 5.2 |
You can determine if and how a cookie will be accepted by
configuring your browser’s which is installed in the
computer you are using to access the Site. If you desire,
you can change those configurations in your browser. By setting
your preferences in the browser, you can accept all cookies,
you can be notified when a cookie is sent, or you can reject
all cookies. If you reject all cookies by choosing the cookie-disabling
function in your browser, you may be required to re-enter
your information on our Site more often and certain features
of our Site may be unavailable. |
6. Minors
The Site and its contents are not intended to be
targeted to minors under applicable law and we do not intend to
sell any of our products or services to minors. However, we have
no way of distinguishing the age of individuals who access our
Site and so we carry out the same Privacy Policy for individuals
of all ages. If a minor has provided us with personal information
without parental or guardian consent, the parent or guardian should
contact us to remove the information.
7. Security Measures
| 7.1 |
We employ commercially reasonable security methods
to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and
ensure correct use of information. |
| 7.2 |
As a Registered User, your Registration Information, Publishing
Information and Payment Information (if any) can be viewed
and edited through your Account which is protected by Password.
We recommend that you do not divulge your Password to anyone.
Our personnel will never ask you for your Password in an unsolicited
phone call or in an unsolicited e-mail. If you share a computer
with others, you should not choose to save your log-in information
(e.g., User ID and Password) on the computer. Remember to
sign out of your Account and close your browser window when
you have finished your session. |
| 7.3 |
No data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network
can be guaranteed to be perfectly secured. As a result, while
we try to protect your information, no web site or company,
including ourselves, can absolutely ensure or guarantee the
security of any information you transmit to us and you do
so at your own risk. |
8. Changes to Privacy Policy
Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be communicated
through our posting an amended and restated Privacy Policy on
our Site. Our posting the amended and restated Privacy Policy
will make such new Privacy Policy immediately effective. You agree
that all Collected Information (whether or not collected prior
to or after the new policy became effective) will be governed
by the newest Privacy Policy then in effect. If you do not agree
to the new changes in our Privacy Policy, you should contact Worldful
in writing (at the address set out in the Notice provision of
the Terms of Use Agreement) and specifically request that Worldful
