Advertisers on eggtree.com
All users accessing the eggtree.com's web site and viewing
advertisements on eggtree.com's web pages retain complete anonymity
where eggtree.com is concerned. As ads are delivered, eggtree.com does
not acquire or collect any personal information about
you. Your name, address, phone number, and email address all remain
your private property. eggtree.com does, however, collect information
which is specific to how you use the Internet. eggtree.com servers
note details such as the server you are logged onto, the geographic
location of the ISP you use, the type of browser you use, and your IP
address. This information is obtained solely for the purpose of
targeting ads
and measuring a given ad's effectiveness on behalf of eggtree.com
advertising clients and customers.
The Cookie Principle
eggtree.com may use cookies to improve your Web browsing experience.
When you first access a eggtree.com Web page with
or without an ad on it, eggtree.com or its advertising client may
assign a unique random number to your computer browser - commonly
known as a "cookie." We do this to measure the popularity of the
different sections of the site, and to understand the way a user
responds to the ads we deliver. For example, this number lets us keep
track of how many times you view an ad we distribute or which articles
on the site are more popular. Likewise, the cookie can help make sure
you do not see the same ad over and over and can also help us improve
the eggtree.com Web site content and features based on users's actual
usage of the site - thus enhancing your online Web viewing experience.
If you refuse a cookie, you can still use eggtree.com but your
experience may differ from those individuals using cookies.
3rd Party Measurement Services
Often, advertisers will employ a third-party measurement service other
than eggtree.com for tracking the performance of an ad program. In
these instances, eggtree.com has no control
over the information collected by the third party, and may not be
held responsible for the actions of the third party measurement service
where collected information is concerned. If you have questions
regarding different third party measurement services and their
respective methods of information collection, please contact
feedback@eggtree.com.
eggtree.com uses www.paypal.com as payment agent currently since
paypal.com is the reputed and secured payment service provider and many
internet users have paypal.com account.
Disclosure
eggtree.com openly volunteers its practices of collecting information,
its targeting capabilities, and its use of cookies. If you have any
questions pertaining to this privacy policy and its contents, please
direct your correspondence to feedback@eggtree.com.
eggtree.com reserves the right to amend this Privacy Statement at any
time without notice, and only the current Privacy Statement may be
deemed effective. Regardless of later updates
or changes to our privacy notice, we will never use the information
you submit under our current privacy notice in a new way without first
providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prevent that use.
This Privacy notice was last updated on Dec 31st
2003 and is deemed effective as of the next date.
