Information Collection and Use

Information Collection
MySanDiegoAds.com is the sole owner of the information collected on the Site. MySanDiegoAds.com collects information from its users at several different points on our Site.

Registration
In order to use MySanDiegoAds.com services a user must first complete the registration process. During registration a user is required to provide contact information (such as name, email address, home/business address, etc) ["Contact Information"] which is used to contact the user about products and services available from web site. This Privacy Policy also applies to users that have agreed to receive e-mail marketing from MySanDiegoAds.com, whether at our website, via email, via third party websites, via co-registration or otherwise. Contact Information will also be used to provide you with specific products and services for which the user has expressed interest.

USERS DESIRING TO REMOVE THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION FROM THE MYSANDIEGOADS.COM DATABASE MUST FOLLOW THE "REMOVE" PROCEDURE CONTAINED WITHIN EACH E-MAIL FROM THE COMPANY OR BY USING THE CONTACT INFORMATION BELOW

Profile
We store information that we collect through user inputted information, cookies, log files and third parties in order to create a profile of our users (“Collected Information”). A profile is stored information that we keep on individual users that details their viewing preferences. Consequently, Collected Information is tied to the user's Contact Information and may be used to provide offers and improve the content of the site for the user. This profile may also be used to direct pertinent marketing promotions to them. We do not share personally identifiable elements of your profile with other third parties. Your profile is shared in aggregate form only.

Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any Contact Information while on our site. We may use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user's hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.

By setting a cookie on our site, users would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If users reject the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user might be limited in some areas of our site. Persistent cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. See the "Profile" section, above.

Log Files
Like most Web sites, our servers use log files to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to Contact Information.

Clear Gifs
Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. The main difference between the two is that clear gifs are invisible on the page and are much smaller, about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Clear gifs are not tied to users' Contact Information.

We may also use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by the recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications. If users would like to opt-out of these emails, please see the Opt-out section.

Communications from the Site

Service Announcements
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance we might send users an email. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications. However, these communications are not promotional in nature.

Customer Service
We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services and regarding issues relating to their accounts. We reply via email or phone, in accordance with the users wishes.

Sharing

Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose Contact Information and/or Collected Information when required by law or where we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a judicial proceeding or administrative hearing, or other legal process served on our Site. For example, MySanDiegoAds.com may disclose Contact Information and/or Collected Information to law enforcement, other government officials, or third parties in response to criminal or civil subpoenas. If we do receive a request to disclose a registered user’s Contact Information and/or Collected Information, we will notify user of such request at the email or telephone number recorded in our database at that time. Users are advised to keep current their Contact Information on file with us and update it accordingly.

Aggregate Information (non-personally identifiable)
We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any Contact Information and/or Collected Information.

Business Transitions
In the event MySanDiegoAds.com goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users' Contact Information and/or Collected Information may be part of the assets transferred. Users will be notified prior to a change of ownership or control of their Contact Information and/or Collected Information. If as a result of the business transition, the users' Contact Information and/or Collected Information will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection users will be given a choice not to have their information used in this different manner, as described in the notification of changes section, below.

Choice/Opt-out
Registered users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' from having their information used for purposes not directly related to our Site at the point where we ask for information. For example, our registration form will have an 'opt-in' mechanism if we implement a program asking you for consent to receive promotions according to your particular interests. Users must proactively choose to receive these promotions.
Users of our Site are always notified when their information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users may make an informed choice as to whether or not they should proceed with services that require an outside party.

Links
This Site may contain links to other web sites. Please be aware that MySanDiegoAds.com is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our Site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This Statement applies solely to information collected by this Site. MySanDiegoAds.com may enter into advertising and affiliate relationships with third party web sites which drive interested parties to our Site. Information that is collected on these third party sites are not controlled by this Policy, and users are advised to read the separate privacy policies of these web sites.

Security

When users submit sensitive information via the MySanDiegoAds.com's Web Site, their information is protected both online and off-line. All of our users' information, Contact Information and/or Collected Information, is restricted in our offices.

The servers that store Contact Information and/or Collected Information are housed in a locked, guarded secure environment.

Supplementation of Information
In order for MySanDiegoAds.com to properly fulfill its obligations to users, it may be necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with information from 3rd party sources.

The information obtained from these third party sources is maintained in a manner consistent with MySanDiegoAds.com's Privacy Policy.

Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal Information

Users may contact us by email at support@MySanDiegoAds.com and provide us with the updated information.

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our Policy, we will post those changes in this Policy, and other places we deem appropriate, so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.

If, however, we are going to use users' Contact Information and/or Collected Information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. However, if users have opted out of all communication with the Site, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their Contact Information and/or Collected Information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our Site notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a notice we will also email users, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
