At Breastfeeding.com, we are committed to maintaining your
privacy and your trust. This Privacy Policy explains how we
collect and protect information about you when you use the
Breastfeeding.com website. We hope this information increases
your confidence in Breastfeeding.com.
I. About Breastfeeding.com
Breastfeeding.com is primarly a website that provide information,
support and attitude for our visitors. Breastfeeding.com also has
a 'Community', an online service for moms that allows our mom
members to set up unique personal profiles and, with those
profiles, to create an online network of other moms.
Breastfeeding.com members can view each others' profiles,
communicate with friends and make new friends, share photos and
videos, post blogs and comments, and describe their interests. To
enrich our members' experience, we request and display some
personal information to other members and visitors, which allows
our users to identify each other and expand their network of
friends. Breastfeeding.com members can change their profile
information at any time and can control how other members and
Breastfeeding.com communicates with them.
II. Information we collect
User Provided Information. Breastfeeding.com Community collects
personal information from you when you register with our Site,
update your profile, interact with other members, and use various
features of our Site. To register with Breastfeeding.com, you
must provide your name, and email address, and select a screen
name. Once you are registered, you will be given the option to
add additional personal information about you and your family to
your profile. By using the privacy settings on your profile, you
can control which members have access to certain of your personal
profile data. Keep in mind, however, that certain basic profile
data cannot be hidden and will always be displayed on the Site
once they register.
We may also collect information regarding your interaction with
other users and your use of the Site. From time to time we may
ask you to respond to surveys or other requests for information
and we collect the information you provide. We may collect
information from you when you participate in promotions offered
on our Site.
All personally identifiable information that we collect may
become part of your Breastfeeding.com member file and may be used
by Breastfeeding.com as provided in this Privacy Policy or as
disclosed at the time you provide the information or as otherwise
agreed by you.
Web Logs. Like most standard Website servers, we collect
information from all visitors to the Site. This information may
include the browser you are using, the internet address from
which you linked to our Site, the operating system of your
computer, the unique IP address of the computer you used to
access our Site, and usage and browsing habits. We use this
information to help diagnose and troubleshoot server
malfunctions, to analyze trends, track user movement in the
aggregate, and gather broad demographic information. We may also
use individual information we collect through web logs to send
you targeted offers and other communications.
III. How we use your information
When you Register. When you register with Breastfeeding.com
Community, you create your own profile and privacy settings. Your
profile information, as well as your screen name and photo are
displayed to people in the networks specified in your privacy
settings to allow you to connect with other Breastfeeding.com
members. Your real name is never displayed on the Site (unless
you use it as your screen name or purposely display it). Members
may search for you by using most information you have entered in
your profile.
Please be aware that certain personal profile information is
displayed for all members and cannot be hidden. Specifically,
your screen name, photo, location entered on your profile, age
and sex are always displayed on the Site and therefore, are
viewable by all users. In addition, because this information is
publicly displayed on the Site, it may appear in the results of
searches conducted on Internet search engines while you are a
member of the Site and potentially for some time period after
your membership is terminated, depending upon the search engine's
indexing practices.
By using the search functionality on the website,
Breastfeeding.com Community Members can find other moms with
similar interests and challenges. When you find other Members,
you can view their personal profiles to find out more about them
based on the information they have decided to share on the Site.
As a Breastfeeding.com Community member, you can share personal
content, such as blogs and photos. Please be aware that by using
any of these features, your personally identifiable information
may be accessible to members and non-members, and
Breastfeeding.com has no control over how those users may use
your personally identifiable information. We have the right, but
not the obligation, to monitor any activity and content
associated with the public and private forums and interactive
areas on our Site.
We'll send you our email and newsletters. Breastfeeding.com may
send you service-related announcements and emails from time to
time. For instance, if a friend sends you a message or someone
comments on your photos or blog, you may receive an email
alerting you to that fact. We may also use your information to
send you e-newsletters, updates and communications about
Breastfeeding.com.
Sweepstakes and Promotions. On occasion, we offer sweepstakes and
other promotions in conjunction with a sponsor. By participating
in a promotion, you submit to that promotion's terms and
conditions including providing us with permission, if required,
to share your personally identifiable information with a
particular sponsor.
Third Party Offers. On occasion, we are able to offer you special
products or services through a relationship with a third party.
In those cases, the offer will be brought to you by
Breastfeeding.com and fulfilled by the third party. If you accept
the offer, you will become a customer of the company that is
fulfilling the offer and we will not have control over their use
of the personally identifiable information that you provide to
them when you accept the offer.
Invite a Friend. If you do become a member, not only can you
enjoy all of the benefits of membership, but you can also invite
other individuals to join by providing us with their email
addresses. Using the information you give us on these potential
Members, we will send them an email invitation to join
Breastfeeding.com. The only way these individuals can become
Members, however, is if they come to our site and sign up
themselves. We do not use this information for other purposes.
Legal Matters; Safety. We may, without your consent, access and
disclose your information, any communications sent or received by
you, and any other information that we may have about you or your
account as may be permitted or required by law (including, but
not limited to, court order or subpoena), or to prevent or
investigate suspected fraud, or activity that appears to us to be
illegal or may expose us to legal liability. Additionally, we may
disclose your information in situations that we believe to be
emergencies involving potential threats to the physical safety of
any person or property if we believe that your information in any
way relates to that threat.
Sale of Business or Assets. In the event that Breastfeeding.com,
substantially all of its assets, or a line of business are
acquired or merged with another company, personally identifiable
information of our members may be one of the assets sold or
merged in connection with that transaction. Breastfeeding.com
will notify users of the site of such a change in ownership or
transfer of assets by posting a notice on the Site.
IV. Disclosures, practices, and contact
information
Breastfeeding.com contains links to other sites. It is possible
for you to receive information directly from our partners and
other companies if you access them through a link on
Breastfeeding.com.com or if you go directly to their Websites.
Once you are on their sites, any data that you supply to these
partners, for example, to obtain information or buy products
directly from them is beyond our reach and will be the
responsibility of each of the linked-to entities and not
Breastfeeding.com. We are not responsible for the privacy
practices or the content of these Websites or any other sites
linked to or referenced on our Site.
Security. Breastfeeding.com has
multiple layers of security on its systems. We have implemented
software and hardware security, including firewalls, data
encryption, and private networks intended to protect your
personally identifiable information from unauthorized access. We
use firewalls and intrusion-detection devices that are designed
to defend against hackers and notify us if any attempts are made
to compromise our network. We regularly review additional
software upgrades to enhance our security measures. However,
despite our efforts, no system can completely guaranty that there
will never be unauthorized access to your personally identifiable
information, and your use of the site indicates that you are
willing to assume this risk.
Changes to the Privacy Policy. We
may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most recent
version of the Privacy Policy will always be posted on the Site,
with the "Effective Date" posted at the top of the Policy. We
will inform you if we substantially modify the way we handle your
personally identifiable information by posting a notice on the
Site, and we will give you the opportunity to opt-out of such
uses.
Contacting Us. If you have any
questions about this Privacy Policy, or the practices of this
Site, please email us at feedback@breastfeeding.com
