  1. Sharing of personal information
    As stated above, MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM may provide advertisers and/or other partners with anonymous information about our users to illustrate trends and patterns. All third parties with whom we share such information will have independent privacy and data collection practices and MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM has no responsibility or liability for their policies or actions.

We will never give out any information linking your real name to your screen name unless you authorize us to do so, or unless required to do so by law.

MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM has several partners that can offer valuable products and services to our members. From time to time, MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM may give or sell a list from our database of users to these third party vendors. These lists will consist of only those users that have “opted-in” to receiving special offers and promotions during the initial registration process. MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that every marketing offer sent to a MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM user as a result of the provision of such information contains a link for the user to no longer receive such offers.

While MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM is careful in choosing its partners and advertisers, we are only responsible for content on our own site. All third parties associated with MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM (including, but not limited to, advertisers, sponsors and other Internet sites) with whom we share information have independent privacy and data collection practices. MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM does not control this collection of information and is neither responsible nor liable for their independent policies or actions.

E. Users’ choices regarding collection, use and distribution of personal information

You are not required to receive any mailings that you do not wish to receive. During the registration process, you will have the option to sign up to receive newsletters and selected sponsor offers and discounts. You will not receive such information if you do not select such options. If, after you choose to receive such information, you wish to discontinue receiving these items, you may change your subscription preferences by visiting the registration area or by indicating your preference by following the instructions provided within the e-mails received. If a username and password is required to access the feature, you will need to provide such information to update your registration preferences. If you have forgotten your password, you may obtain it by visiting the registration area and requesting it to be sent to you at the e-mail address you originally provided during registration.

F. Security of personal information

MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under its control. We have put together appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information.

Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that the personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this privacy notice. Inadvertent disclosures may result, for example, when third parties misrepresent their identities and request access to personally identifiable information.

Only those employees needed to carry out the business functions will have access to information on individual MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM users. Employees violating these privacy policies will be subject to disciplinary action.

Whatever a user transmits or discloses online can be collected and used by others or unlawfully intercepted by third parties. No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Although we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. In addition, we may disclose information to law enforcement or other government officials if we determine such disclosure to be appropriate, or if we are compelled to disclose it by court order or operation of law.

Any information voluntarily disclosed by users and posted on our site (on message boards and/or in chat areas) may be viewed and used by others. If users post personal information that is accessible to the public online, the user does so at his or her own risk. Users accept that they may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

G. Children’s Privacy Policy

In accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM has adopted special procedures applicable to personal information from users under the age of 13. It is MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM ‘s policy not to solicit any personally identifiable information from these users for our own use without notice to a parent or guardian. Additionally, if MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM determines that a user is under the age of 13, based on the information provided during the registration process, that user either will not be permitted to register or will not be permitted to register without notice to a parent or guardian. The following procedures supersede any conflicting portions of the Store at MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM ‘s general privacy policy with respect to users under the age of 13. When a user under the age of 13 attempts to register on applicable portions of MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM, the user may either be prohibited from registering for the activity or will be asked to submit his or her first name, e-mail address, and parent’s e-mail address. No more information than is reasonably necessary as a precondition for participation in an activity will be requested.

The following applies to activities on MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM where the website operator will need to retain a child’s e-mail address for ongoing communication (i.e. Newsletter): When a user under the age of 13 attempts to submit his or her registration information, MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM’s system will either prohibit the child from registering or automatically forward notification to the parents, who are given the option to unsubscribe their child from the activity. By following the instructions provided in the notice, the parent or guardian will be given the option to decline the user’s registration, or opt-out. In addition, we will send a separate e-mail notification to the user’s e-mail address to inform him/her that notice of their activity was e-mailed to their parent’s e-mail address, and that the registration will not become valid if the parent or guardian unsubscribes the user from the activity. MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM will not retain any personal information from a user under the age of 13 if a parent unsubscribes their child. If unsubscribed, all information provided to the website by the child will be deleted.

As described in MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM ‘s general privacy policy above, MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM may use cookies to gather information that will be associated with personal information of a user under the age of 13. Cookies allow MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM to better customize visits to the site to match the child’s preferences. Under the Children’s Privacy Policy, MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM extends the previously listed privacy procedures to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of personal information collected from children.

MASSAGETHERAPYPALOALTO.COM suggests that you please discuss this statement with your children.
