Privacy Policy
UBUnetwork.com is dedicated to protecting users' privacy and protecting your
personal information from misuse. We strongly support a policy of openness about
personal data collection and use. We have created and implemented a policy that
protects the use of any personally identifiable information (your name, e-mail
address, snail mail address, telephone number). Like many websites, we collect
information from users to constantly improve the site and provide more
individualized content and advertising to them, but we only do so based on the
guidelines stated in this policy. To make this privacy policy easy to find, we
make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally
identifiable information may be requested.
Please take note that other web sites that may be accessed through our site may
collect personally identifiable information about you. This privacy statement
does not cover the information practices of those web sites linked to
UBUnetwork.com. We encourage you to review the statements of those sites.
What information does UBUnetwork.com collect?
UBUnetwork.com's registration, online surveys, and contest entry forms may call
for users to provide their contact information (like their name and e-mail
address), financial information (like their bank account or credit card
numbers), and demographic information (like their zip code, age, or income
level).
UBUnetwork.com uses the standard "cookie" feature of major browser applications
that allows us to store data about your visit. Cookies help us learn which areas
of our site are useful and which areas need improvement. We also may use cookies
to track visits on UBUnetwork.com and the number of entries in some of our
promotions, sweepstakes, and contests. Advertising networks that serve ads onto
UBUnetwork.com may also use their own cookies. The cookie stores your user name
and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you
visit and granting you certain access privileges. You can set your browser 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. We will not be
able to customize the site's features.
UBUnetwork.com may also gather anonymous information, which may be used by us or
shared with third parties. This is information that does not personally identify
you, but which may be helpful. For example, we might tell our advertisers how
many users visited a particular advertisement, and for how long, so they can
measure whether the ad worked. This information is also used to generate
advertising rates. Generally, this information is collected through "traffic
data" and may entail the use of numeric codes used to identify a computer.
What does UBUnetwork.com do with collected information?
UBUnetwork.com's primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide
you, the user, with a customized experience on our site. This includes
personalization services, interactive communications, online shopping, and many
other types of services, most of which are completely free to you. In order to
provide services free of charge, we display advertisements. By knowing a little
about you, UBUnetwork.com is able to deliver more relevant advertisements and
content to you. This, in turn, helps us create a better website.
By delivering targeted advertisements, UBUnetwork.com allows advertisers to
reach a targeted audience. From time to time, advertisers on UBUnetwork.com will
seek to reach specific segments of our audience (e.g. females 35 and older). We
will take the advertisement and display it to users meeting those criteria. This
kind of advertisement targeting is done with banner ads as well as promotional
email.
We use customer contact information from our online registration, survey, and
contest and order forms for our own internal evaluation and tracking purposes,
and to send you information from our company. From time to time, our business
partners or other companies may send you promotional material. If you supply
contact information, it may also be used to contact you about products and
services in which you have indicated an interest, and may be shared with our
advertisers, business partners, or other companies who may want to contact you.
(Users may opt out of receiving future mailings -- see the choice/opt-out
section below.)
We may use cookies to deliver to you content specific to your interests, to save
your password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our site, and
for other purposes. Advertisements displayed on our site may contain cookies. We
do not have access to or control over information collected by advertisers on
our site.
UBUnetwork.com may use your IP address (the number assigned to your computer
while it is on the Internet) to help diagnose problems with our server, and to
administer our site. At a point in time, when UBUnetwork.com offers shopping,
your IP address may be used to help identify your computer and your online
"shopping cart" (if any) and to gather broad demographic information. In
addition, your IP address is transmitted with each message sent from your
account.
Demographic and profile data from online forms or cookies may be used to tailor
your experience at our site, showing you content that we think you might be
interested in, and displaying the content preferences you have previously shared
with us. This information may be shared with our advertisers, business partners,
or other companies only on an aggregate basis, unless you specifically agree
that personally identifiable information about you may be disclosed.
If you submit financial information it may be used to verify the accuracy of
your contact information and to authorize UBUnetwork.com to bill you for
products and services you have agreed to purchase. You may choose to submit
unique identifiers (such as social security numbers) in order to allow us to
verify your identity and for use as account numbers in our record system.
UBUnetwork.com may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or
in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the
edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on UBUnetwork.com or its
parent company, subsidiaries or affiliates; (b) protect and defend the rights or
property of UBUnetwork.com or the users of UBUnetwork.com, and (c) act under
exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of UBUnetwork.com
or the public.
Security
UBUnetwork.com has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and
alteration of any information we have collected from you. Any time we ask for a
credit card number we transmit that credit card number in an encrypted format.
We use industry-standard, SSL (secure socket layer) encryption. As you may
realize, unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed
to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal
information, UBUnetwork.com cannot ensure or warrant the security of any
information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you
do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best
effort to ensure its security on our systems. To further protect your privacy
and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before
granting access or making corrections.
Children
UBUnetwork.com is a general audience site. Protecting the privacy of the very
young is especially important. We do not direct any of our content specifically
at children less than thirteen (13) years of age. Further, we do not collect or
maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under
thirteen (13) years of age.
Choice/Opt-Out
UBUnetwork.com gives you the following options for removing your information
from our database in order to stop receiving future communications from
UBUnetwork.com. (Please note: UBUnetwork.com is not responsible for removing
information from third-party lists or entities with which you have previously
authorized us to share your information.)

Please recognize that any of the policies or procedures above may be changed at any
time without prior notice. Although this Privacy Policy is not a contract and
does not create any legal rights, it does serve as an expression of
UBUnetwork.com's commitment to protecting private personal information.
