Privacy Information for OurNameInHistory.com

MyFamily.com, Inc., the operator of this site, recognizes the confidentiality of information that may be disclosed by purchasers in making purchases from this Web site, and we are committed to protecting your privacy.  The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this site.

 

Overview

We do collect some personal data, always with your knowledge, that is used to fulfill orders, and in connection with our customer service and related activities.  The personal, private information that we obtain from or regarding individual purchasers and/or their relatives or ancestors is not provided to unrelated third parties except (a) in limited cases as expressly described in this Statement, (b) otherwise with the knowledge and consent of the individual under this Privacy Statement, (c) in any case involving a possible violation of contractual obligations or to protect our rights or property or (d) as may be required by law. 

 

The specifics of our use of personal information are best described in the answers to the following Frequently Asked Questions:

 

Do you ask for personal information from your members?

Yes. 

 

-          We ask for your name, e-mail address, home or other physical address, financial information and other limited personal information at the time you make a purchase from us.  Some of this information may be entered at your discretion.  In addition, to facilitate payment and fulfillment in connection with purchases you make from us, we will request your personal credit card, debit card or other payment information. 

-          Finally, we may ask for personal information similar to that described above at certain other times, such as when you enter sweepstakes or other promotions sponsored by us and/or one of our partners. 

 

How do you use my personal information?

The primary use of your own personal information that you provide to us is to fulfill your order with us, which includes processing your payment for the goods and services you have requested.

 

We may also use registration information to let you know about new features or other offers of interest from us and to address customer service needs and requests.

 

Will you disclose any of my personal information to third parties?

For limited purposes, yes. 

 

-          Information submitted by you online (such as information about products you purchase from us, your name or your e-mail or other home or physical address) may be shared with companies with which we have a commercial relationship and through which you reached OurNameInHistory.com for marketing purposes.  For example, if you make a purchase with us because of a special offer made through another site acting as a distributor of our products, in that circumstance, you will be considered their customer as well.

-          If we are required or desire to disclose your personal information to any third party in connection with any sweepstakes or other promotion, this will be specifically described where and at the time the information is collected in connection with that sweepstakes or other promotion.

 

Other than to the limited extent set forth above, and otherwise with the knowledge and consent of the individual under this Privacy Statement, in any case involving a possible violation of contractual obligations or to protect our rights or property or as may be required by law, we will not disclose your personal information in connection with any registration with or purchase you make from us.  We reserve the right to disclose aggregated user statistics, such as “45% of our purchasers are female”, or “37% of our purchasers have attended college”, in order to describe our goods and services to prospective partners, advertisers and other third parties.  Under protection of confidentiality agreements, the “Our Name In History” book may match common purchaser information, such as name, address and phone number, with third party data to avoid duplication and prevent errors.

 

What about purchases from advertisers or other linked sites?

If you click away from OurNameInHistory.com to visit the site of any third party advertiser or sponsor, you may be asked for your credit card or other personal information in order to use and/or purchase the goods or services offered.  These companies have their own privacy and data collection practices and policies.  We have no responsibility or liability for these third party practices and policies.  You should therefore review their privacy policies carefully if you have concerns about how these third parties may use your information.

 

Will you use my information for direct mailings?

We will send e-mail or other mail to you, for the purpose of informing you of changes or additions to OurNameInHistory.com or of any MyFamily.com, Inc. related products and services.  If you do not want to receive such mailings, you may opt out at any time by (a) as it regards direct mail, or anything other than e-mail, contacting us in writing at the address below, or (b) as it regards e-mail, using the “unsubscribe” link identified in the e-mail or (c) in regard to any type of mailing, at a preferences page we may provide.

 

Do you use “IP Addresses” and cookies?

IP Addresses:

We do use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site.  Your IP address is also used to gather broad demographic information such as geographic distribution of our purchasers, and may be used to “geolocate” you as a purchaser so that we may provide you with goods or services appropriate to your place of resident.

 

Cookies:

Contrary to popular belief, cookies do not extract private or personal information from your computer’s memory, but rather record only information you volunteer to us on registering or visiting our Web site.  Cookies are tiny files placed onto the hard drive of your computer when you register at our Web site, which enable our server to recognize or “remember” who you are each time you return.  We may make limited use of cookies to deliver content specific to your interests.  For instance, we may use cookies to retain your personal preferences, hold session information for a “shopping basket” or save your password so it doesn’t have to be re-entered each time you log into our Web site.

 

Advertiser Cookies:

We may use third party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf.  These companies may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single pixel gifs or Web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness.  Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and action tags is completely anonymous.  If you would like more information about this practice and your choices, click here.

Contests & Promotions

We may occasionally run contests or other special promotions on our Web site in which we may ask members or visitors for contact information (such as an e-mail address) or demographic information (such as a zip code, age or income level).  We use this data to send users promotional material about our company or our partners.  The participant’s  contact information is also used to contact him or her when necessary, and may be shared with other companies for promotional purposes, but only with your prior permission and under the terms and conditions specified when you take part in the promotion.  At any time, you may opt out of receiving future information about upcoming contests or promotions, or you may simply decline to take part in any or all contests or promotions.
