PRIVACY STATEMENT
Respecting your privacy is a top priority for Smiles Included. This statement discloses what type of information we collect, how we collect it, and how we use and protect it.
What information does Smiles Included collect?
When you visit the Smiles Included website, we collect your IP address and standard web log information, such as your browser type and the pages you accessed on our website. At this time, we do not collect personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it to us.
How we use cookies
When you access our website, we, or companies we hire to track how our website is used, may place small data files called "cookies" on your computer. Cookies are small bits of electronic information that a web site can transfer to a visitor’s hard drive to help tailor and keep records of his or her visit to the site. The use of cookies is standard on the Internet and many web sites use them. Cookies allow web site operators to better customize visits to the site to the visitor’s individual preferences. For example, by setting a cookie you would not have to enter information in the Site more than once, thereby saving time. Although most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, you can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you’ve set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to participate actively in message boards, forums, polling and surveys.
At this time, we do not use cookies, but we may do so in the future.
Surveys
Smiles Included may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target content to our audience. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary. Information requested may include contact information (such as your email address), and demographic information (such as interests or age level). We sometimes may share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We will never share any personally identifiable information collected in our surveys with any third party.
How do we use your information?
We will use your information to tailor our content to suit your needs and help our advertisers better understand our audience demographics. This is essential to keeping our service free.
How does Smiles Included protect customer information?
We implement a variety of security measures to ensure the security of your personal information on our systems. User personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of employees who have special access rights to such systems.
Sharing of Information
We will not share, sell, trade, or otherwise transfer outside the company personally identifiable information that you provide us. Smiles Included will create aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers, sponsors and partners. This will allow our advertisers to advertise more effectively, and allow our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent to their needs. Because we won’t track the usage patterns of individual users, an advertiser or sponsor will never know that a specific user clicked their ad. Notwithstanding any other term of this privacy statement, we may release any personal information we obtain or collect when we believe its release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our Site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety.
Third party links and co-brand relationships
In an attempt to provide increased value to our visitors, we may choose various third party web sites to link to, and frame within, the Site. We also participate in co-branding and other relationships to offer e-commerce and other services and features to our visitors. However, even if the third party is affiliated with us, we have no control over these linked sites, each of which has separate privacy and data collection practices independent of us. Data collected by our co-brand partners or third party web sites (even if offered on or through our site) may not be received by us. As such, we have no responsibility or liability for these independent policies or actions, and are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any such web sites. These linked sites are only for your convenience and you therefore access them at your own risk.
Your consent
By visiting this site, you consent to the collection and use of information by us as set forth in this privacy statement. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
