We at Care2tell greatly respect your privacy and take the issue of Internet privacy very seriously. By agreeing to our Terms of Service, you, the User, consent to the use and disclosure of personal information that you provide to us as outlined in this Privacy Policy. As we improve our Website, we may, from time to time and in our sole discretion, modify this Privacy Policy. Any material updates or revisions will be displayed on our Website.
 
This Privacy Policy contains information with regards to the following:
 
- What personally identifiable information of yours or third party personally identifiable information is collected from you through our website;
- The organization collecting the information;
- How the information is stored and used;
- With whom the information may be shared;
- What choices are available to you regarding collection, use and distribution of the information;
- The kind of security procedures that we put in place in order to protect the information against loss, misuse or alteration; and
- How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.
We will not sell, share, or rent your personally identifiable information to others in ways other than as disclosed in this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service.
 
We collect personally identifiable information from our Users at several different points on our website:
 
  • Registration Information
In order to use certain features of our website, our Users must first complete the registration form provided by us. During the registration process we request Users’ contact information, such as an email address. This information is used to contact the User about those services on our site for which he or she has expressed an interest, and is also used as the User’s sign-in information.
 
  • Use of Services Information
When our Users use our service, they automatically provide us with information such as IP address, preferences and certain areas of interest. This information is stored by us and used in order to provide our Users with better, personalized services.
 
  • Paid Services Through the Website
For certain of our services, Users may be requested to provide financial information such as a credit card number and expiration date in order to pay for and use these services. The credit and financial information we collect from Users is automatically forwarded to our outsourced credit services provider, which stores and processes such information on our behalf. If we experience difficulty in processing transactions using the information provided, we may use contact information to get in touch with the User.
 
  • Cookies and other technologies
 A cookie is a piece of data stored on your computer that may contain information about you, your computer, your browser, your actions on the web, etc. We may set and access cookies on your computer to improve our Services by, among other things, storing your preferences, your password if you ask us to do so, and a record of which physical computers you use.
 
The third party providers and advertisers we work with may also use cookies and other technologies such as Java Script, web beacons (also known as action tags or single-pixel gifs). We have no control over such third party providers’ use of these technologies and we encourage you to review the privacy policy and reputation of such third party providers before you choose to use their services and to make your own assessment of the value and risks of using those services.
 
  • IP Address
An IP address is a number that identifies each sender or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the Internet. We may use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track our Users’ movements, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are also linked to personally identifiable information in order to improve our Users’ experience when using our site. We may also retain any emails, letters, or other correspondence between you and us to ensure quality control and the best possible service, although we have no obligation to do so.
 
  • User Submissions
Care2tell will not publish your actual name and other information provided during registration, but may display your account name, a notice of whether or not you are currently online, user rating information, and other such information. Any stories, comments, and other postings you make on the Website become public knowledge and are not considered personally identifiable information subject to this Privacy Policy. They will be treated in accordance with the Terms of Use . Please do not post any personally identifiable information on the website that you expect to keep private.
 
Storyhood Ltd.
As noted in our Terms of Service, Care2tell is powered by Storyhood Ltd. (“Storyhood”). Any data we collect, including your personally identifiable data, is stored on the Storyhood servers and therefore shared with and may be used by Storyhood. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, Care2tell shall also mean Storyhood and Storyhood undertakes to act in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Use of Information
We may use the personally identifiable information we collect to improve our services, for research and analysis purposes, to contact you, to personalize and customize the services you use and the content you receive (including advertisement), to ensure the quality of our services and, in an anonymous manner, to prepare reports to our third party providers or clients.
 
Disclosure of Information to Third Parties
In addition to other provisions of this Privacy Policy, we may deliver your personally identifiable information to third parties under the following circumstances
- If required by any applicable law or regulation, if ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, or to protect our legal interests;
- In the event necessary, in our opinion and as required or permitted by law, in order to protect against imminent harm to you, to any members of the public (including other Users), or to our rights, property or safety, or to the rights, property or safety of our third party providers; and
- To third parties such as contractors and agents providing services to the Website or on behalf of the Website under a confidentiality agreement or under another agreement which includes privacy provisions. While such third parties will use the personally identifiable information to provide services to the Website or to provide you with services on behalf of the Website, such third parties will not have the right to use or otherwise share such information for other purposes.
- To pertinent third parties, such as investigators, law enforcement personnel or credit reporting agencies for the purpose of administering, operating and maintaining our service and following up on any claim of fraud, identity theft, security concerns or activity which may be illegal or unauthorized.
 
Sharing
We may share aggregated demographic information of our users (for example zip code, year of birth or preferences without any identification such as name, address, phone number) with our partners and advertisers. This will not be linked to any personally identifiable information that can identify any individual person. However, our partners and advertisers may use this in addition to personally identifiable information they collect directly in a similar manner, all based on their respective privacy policies. You acknowledge that Care2tell does not control your personally identifiable information once it has been delivered by you to third parties and that such third parties will generally have their own privacy policies that may be substantially different from Care2tell’s  Privacy Policy.
 
We may use a credit card processing company to collect payments from Users for use of our fee-based services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
 
We reserve the right to partner with another party to provide specific services. When a User signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services. These parties will not be allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.
 
Our Partners and Links to Other Sites
Our website may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we are 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 website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Website.
 
Security We Provide
We use the services of a web hosting service and a payment gateway service. We take commercially reasonable efforts to protect your personally identifiable information and to ensure that our service providers are obligated to do the same (for example by requiring username and password before displaying personally identifiable information). When our registration form asks Users to enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number), that information is encrypted. We use standard industry practices to help protect against loss, misuse, and alteration of personal data under our control. If you have any questions about the security at our Website, you can send an email to feedback@care2tell.com.
 
Correcting/Updating Personally Identifiable Information
If a User’s personally identifiable information, such as a mailing address, changes, or if a User no longer desires to use our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that User’s personal data provided to us.
 
 If Care2tell intends to use User information for purposes not directly related to our website, such as sending promotional materials by email, Users will be given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ by following the appropriate mechanism provided on our website. Users of our site will be notified when their information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our Users can make an informed choice as to whether they should proceed with services that require an outside party, or not.
We will never knowingly request, collect, use and/or disclose personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without prior verifiable parental consent. If we receive actual knowledge that a User is under the age of 13, we will remove all personally identifiable information about that person from our files. Parents should always supervise their children’s use of the Internet. For information about commercially available products to assist parents in filtering material that you may consider harmful to minors, please see http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000526.htm or other similar sites.
