Company | Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 12, 2009

MarketLive, Inc. (“MarketLive”) respects the privacy of our web site visitors, customers, partners, and employees. We believe it is important you understand the kind of information we collect about you and how it is used. We recognize the need for appropriate safeguards and management of personally identifiable information you provide to us ("Personal Information or PII"). This Privacy Policy sets forth the privacy principles MarketLive follows with respect to your Personal Information. This privacy statement covers all personal information received by MarketLive at the web site www.marketlive.com (the "Site") as well as MarketLive’s eCommerce services (the "MarketLive eCommerce Services"). Please be advised that the practices described in this privacy statement only apply to information gathered through the Site or through the MarketLive eCommerce Services and do not necessarily reflect our practices with respect to information gathered offline.

Safe Harbor

MarketLive participates in the EU Safe Harbor Privacy Framework as set forth by the United States Department of Commerce in consultation with the European Commission's Directive on Data Protection on the transfer of Personal Information from European Union member countries to the United States. More information about the U.S. Department of Commerce's Safe Harbor program can be found at http://www.export.gov/safeharbor. If you have any complaints regarding our compliance with the Safe Harbor you should first contact us. If contacting us does not resolve your complaint you may take action as described in the Enforcement section. Any questions, comments or complaints about the data practices (including without limitation compliance with data privacy principles of notice, choice, onward transfer, access, security, data integrity, or enforcement) of one of our eCommerce Services customers or a partners for whom MarketLive processes data should be addressed to that customer or partner.

Information Collection and Use

We collect information about your use of the Site. This information falls into two categories: personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information. We want you to be informed about what information is collected, when it is collected, and what we do with the information. Unless otherwise stated, we do not share any of this information with third parties.

• Personally Identifiable Information: PII is information that can be used to identify or contact you. Such information may include your name, address, email, telephone number, fax number, company, Site user name, Site password, billing or credit card information, or other similar information. PII may be collected when you register on the Site, use certain features of the Site, request information about products or services, register for an event, answer a survey, inquire about employment, correspond with us, or engage in certain other activities on the Site. We use this PII for purposes such as sending you information about products or services, responding to requests for technical or customer support, processing your transactions, tracking compliance with the Site's rules and regulations, and other related purposes. Furthermore, we use this information to help us improve the Site, understand who uses the Site, and other associated statistical analyses.
• Non-Personally Identifiable Information ("NII"): NII is information that cannot alone be used to identify or contact you. Such information may include browser information, demographic information such as age, profession or gender, domain names, and other anonymous statistical data related to use of the Site. This information may be used to monitor user traffic patterns and Site usage. We may link some of this NII to PII for purposes such as personalizing and improving your experience on the Site and for general Site evaluation. More specifically, browser information is collected when you are using the Site through log files and third party scripts that automatically collect information that may include IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, number of clicks, date/time stamp, and other similar information. Log files and third party scripts may also collect general demographic information. We use these log files and third party scripts to help us analyze trends and to improve the value of the Site and services. Finally, we may also use third party scripts to collect NII that is necessary to optimize effectiveness of our advertisements appearing on other parties' sites.

We also collect NII which involves cookies, action tags, and web beacons. Cookies are stored on your computer's hard drive and identify your web browser and the activities of your computer on the Site and other websites. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you may disable them. Cookies help us facilitate efficient site navigation and improve your experience on the Site. Action tags, also known as web beacons or single pixel GIFs, are a web technology used to help track website usage information, such as how many times a specific page has been viewed. Action tags are invisible to you. Any portion of the Site, including advertisements or emails sent on our behalf, may contain action tags. Action tags can be used to count Site users, to deliver co-branded services, or to determine whether email messages have been opened or acted upon. Action tags may be used to conduct research on behalf of certain customers, to compile statistics for advertising purposes, for auditing purposes, or to report certain aggregate information. By using cookies and action tags together, we are able to gather information to improve the Site and measure the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing campaigns. Embedded URLs allow use of the Site without cookies and we utilize them as a tracking tool to collect NII. Embedded URLs are exhibited as plain text or encoded extensions to the URL that appear in the browser address or location toolbar. They provide limited NII about navigation on the Site during the current session.

Security

To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to allow only the appropriate use of your Personal Information, we utilize industry standard physical, technical, and administrative controls and procedures to safeguard the information we collect. To help ensure the integrity and privacy of the PII that you provide to us, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the PII submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, you should recognize there is always some risk involved in transmission of information over the internet or in a method of electronic storage.

Choice & Updating Information

We use your Personal Information to provide you with information about MarketLive and its products and services, including but not limited to webinars, newsletters, and job openings. You have the option to opt-out of any secondary communications such as promotional communications by clicking on “opt-out” or "unsubscribe" on any promotional emails.

Other than as stated in this Privacy Policy, we will endeavor not to release your Personal Information to unknown or unaffiliated third parties. We do not share, sell, rent or trade your Personal Information to third parties for promotional purposes. However, we may disclose your Personal Information if we are required to do so by law or we in good faith believe that such action is necessary to (1) comply with the law or with legal process including court orders or subpoenas; (2) protect and defend our rights and property; (3) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our Web sites or eCommerce Services; or (4) protect the personal safety or property of our users or the public (among other things, this means that if you provide false information or attempt to pose as someone else, information about you may be disclosed as part of any investigation into your actions).

If you wish to update your information, to delete, change or correct it, or to no longer receive our communications, you may email our General Counsel at privacy@marketlive.com. Such updates will not have an effect on other information that we maintain, or information that we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy before such update. To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps to verify your identity, before granting access to your Personal Information. In addition, we may limit or deny access to Personal Information where providing such access would be unreasonably burdensome or expensive in the circumstances, or as otherwise permitted by the Safe Harbor Framework. We will respond to your request for access to your Personal Information within 30 days of the original request. Due to the distributed nature of our business and systems, we cannot guarantee that your change request will update your information immediately in all MarketLive systems. Please also be aware that it is not reasonably possible to remove each and every record of the information you have provided to us. The need to back-up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your PII may exist in a form that will be difficult for us to locate. After receiving your request, PII stored in databases we actively use and other readily searchable media will be appropriately updated, as soon as reasonably practicable.

The Site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that MarketLive is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave the Site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by this Site.

Forums

We provide online forums as a means for our customers and other users of our eCommerce Services to communicate. If you use a forum, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit there can be read, collected, or used by other users of these forums, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for the PII you choose to submit in these forums.

Sharing of Visitors' Personal Information

As part of MarketLive's services we may contract with third-party providers to perform certain functions on behalf of our customers to enhance our existing product and service offerings.

These third parties may have access to Visitors' Personal Information only to the extent necessary to permit them to do their jobs, however, they are bound by confidentiality agreements or similar contractual restrictions before any information is provided to them, and they are restricted from using the information for other purposes.

Web Site / Cookies

In order to improve the content and format of our platform and applications, our eCommerce Services use web site tracking software to automatically capture technical information that is then stored in our servers' log files. This information may include, but is not limited to, user domain, the type of Internet browser being used, which of our customers' web pages are visited, and the amount of time spent on our customers' sites.

Our customers' website pages may contain "cookies." A cookie is a small amount of data which a web site stores on a Visitor's computer, and which we or our customers can later retrieve. The cookie cannot be read by a site other than our customer's. We and our customers use cookies for a number of administrative purposes; for example, to store Visitors' preferences for certain kinds of information. We will not write to any cookie information that will allow anyone to contact Visitor's via telephone, e-mail, or any other means. Any additional use of cookies by our customers will be governed by our customers' privacy policies. Visitors can monitor use of cookies on their computers by setting their web browser to inform them when cookies are set, or Visitors can prevent the cookies from being set entirely. The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers explains how to prevent the browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser provide notice when a new cookie is received, or how to disable cookies altogether. Please understand that if a Visitor disables the use of cookies, the Visitor may be unable to access certain portions or services in our applications or those of our customers.

If a Visitor accesses those links, he/she will leave the MarketLive customer's website and be re-directed to a third-party site.
