Privacy

Our Commitment to Privacy
PeopleSite is committed to respecting the privacy rights of all visitors to our Web site. Our Privacy Policy was developed to help you in understanding how we collect, use, and safeguard the personal information you provide to us. This Privacy Policy will be continuously assessed against new technologies, business practices, and our customers' needs.

What Information Do We Collect?
The goal of the PeopleSite, Inc. Web site is to be an online search community providing a location for people to posting messages looking for missing people. To achieve this goal, we collect three types of information from you when you visit our Site: membership information, voluntary posting information, and aggregate information about your use of our Site that is automatically collected when you visit the PeopleSite, Inc. Web site.

1. Membership Information
   Membership information refers to information that tells us specifically who you are. This information is collected when you voluntarily choose to become a member of the PeopleSite, Inc. Web site community. As a member, you are asked to provide certain basic information such as your name, current email address, mailing address, and desired user name. In addition, if you sign up for Enhanced Features or purchase any Investigative Services package, billing information will be collected.

   How Do We Use The Personal Information That You Provide To Us?
   Broadly speaking, your membership information is used to help us customize the content and layout of our Web site so that we may provide you with a smooth and efficient visit. We also use personal information for purposes of administering our business activities, providing customer service, and making other services available to our members and prospective members. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new services, and special offers we think you will find valuable.

2. Voluntary Message Information
   Message information refers to the information you enter when posting a message. This may include the missing persons name, last known address, distinguishing characteristics, story and photo.

   How Do We Use The Message Information That You Provide To Us?
   The message information is used to assist in the search of the person you are looking for. We reserve the right to pass this information on to a Private Investigator or a Third Party at no charge to you, if we choose.

3. Aggregate Information
   Aggregate information refers to information your computer automatically provides to us and that cannot be tied back to you as a specific individual. Examples include referral data (the web sites you visited just before and just after our Web site) the date and time of your visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, browser and platform type (e.g., a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform), and IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you surf the Web. When you request a page from one of our Sites, our servers log your IP address to create aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers and partners, and for purposes of system administration. This allows these parties to advertise more effectively, and allows you to receive advertisements that are most relevant to your personal interests.

How does PeopleSite protect visitor information?
PeopleSite implements a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. User personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of employees who have specific access rights to such systems. When you place orders or access your personal information, we offer the use of a secure server. All sensitive/credit information supplied by users is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

Does PeopleSite disclose the information it collects from its visitors to outside parties?
PeopleSite does not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer outside the company personally identifiable information that visitors voluntarily provide in any registration or order form. This information is used to better understand visitors' use of PeopleSite's site and to support related transactions made on the site.

Does PeopleSite use "cookies"?
The PeopleSite, Inc. Web site, along with thousands of other web sites, uses standard technologies, such as "cookies" and web server logs, to enhance your web viewing experience. Cookies and web server logs automatically track certain information about you that is based upon your activity on our Site. A cookie is a small piece of data transferred from a web site to the hard drive of your computer so that the web site may track your activities on the site. Web server logs allow us to count how many people visit our Web site and also to evaluate our Site's visitor capacity.

Your Consent
By using our Web site, you consent to the collection and use of the information you provide according to this Privacy Policy. If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post these changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.

How Do We Protect Your Information?
We utilize encryption/security software to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information we collect. This software provides a limited degree of protection against unauthorized access or disclosure, as well as accidental loss, alteration, or destruction.
