Privacy Policy
Last Updated: February 13, 2011
Capital-Idea.net strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet
technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience. We may
use Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street
address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We will
never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third party.
Period.”
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the
activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. For
example, you may be asked to provide information when you register for access
to certain portions of our site or request certain features, such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide information when you participate
in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site. Like most Web sites, Capital-Idea.net also collects
information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet
Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you and hold information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and
password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you
visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may
also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose
not to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse
to accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions of
the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we may
not be able to customize the site’s features according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and
deliver more individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy and
do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify you) may
be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information about your
usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to help
enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or
what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this information does
not include any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to
identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on Capital-Idea.net to
communicate with you about your registration and customization preferences;
our Terms of Service and privacy policy; services and products offered by
Capital-Idea.net and other topics we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by Capital-Idea.net may also be
used for other purposes, including but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of ecommerce transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications with you. Certain third
parties who provide technical support for the operation of our site (our Web
hosting service for example) may access such information. We will use your
information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we
continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a
court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so
by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to
law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary.
Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
Capital-Idea.net expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including our
partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible through
our site, may have their own privacy and data collection policies and practices.
For example, during your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a
frame on a Capital-Idea.net page, certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through Capital-Idea.net you may be introduced to,
or be able to access, information, Web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. Capital-Idea.net is not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing information on a feature or page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may
use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences
or retrieve information about you. For example, some of our advertising is served
by third parties and may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other features
available on our site may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather information. Capital-Idea.net does not
control the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable
Information on message boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed
publicly and can be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties.
Such activities are beyond the control of Capital-Idea.net and this policy.
Children
Capital-Idea.net does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally Identifiable
Information from or about children under 13 except as permitted by law. If we
discover we have received any information from a child under 13 in violation of
this policy, we will delete that information immediately. If you believe

Changes to this Policy
Capital-Idea.net reserves the right to change this policy at any time. Please
check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of our site following
the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
Information collected prior to the time any change is posted will be used
according to the rules and laws that applied at the time the information was collected.
Governing law
This policy and the use of this Site are governed by Florida law. If a dispute
