Nine0Media (“Nine0Media” or We) strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet technology and to provide interactive and personalized experience on BusinessDirectorySanDiego.com
We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone number or other information about you that could potentially identify you) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. Please note this policy applies only to information collected by Nine0Media through BusinessDirectorySanDiego.com and does not impact information collected or used by Nine0Media or its Affiliates through other means.

How we gather information from users

How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. You can visit many pages on our site without providing any information. Other pages may prompt you to provide information, such as when you register for access to portions of our site, sign up for membership, request certain features (e.g. newsletters, news updates and other products), sign up for a sign up for various print subscriptions or make a purchase. You may also provide information when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, voting and polling activities, message boards and chat rooms and other interactive areas of our site. Like most Web sites, BusinessDirectorySanDiego.com also collects information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use “cookie” technology. Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and password, sparring you from having to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but doing so may limit your ability to access certain portions of the site or may require you to re-enter your user name and password. Additionally we may not be able to customize the site’s features according to your preferences.

What we do with information we collect.

The information provided by you, we use, only as permitted by law and as described in this policy. Aggregated information (information that does not personally identify you) may be used in many ways. As one example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most attractive. Aggregated information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners, but cannot be used to contact you individually.

We also collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising. For example, we may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on BusinessDirectorySanDiego.com to communicate with you regarding our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, products and services offered by Nine0Media and other Nine0Media Affiliates (defined below) and partners, administration of sweepstakes and contests, processing e-commerce transactions and other topics we think you might find of interest. In some cases we may combine Personally Identifiable Information collected on BusinessDirectorySanDiego.com with demographic or other information (such as census records or customer information in our regular business records) to assist with tailoring advertising to your preferences and behaviors, and for other sales and marketing efforts of Nine0Media business units and any entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with, Nine0Media (collectively “Affiliates”), including without limitation Nine0Media’s and its Affiliates’ websites, broadcast venues and print media outlets. This policy does not apply to any Affiliates’s use of such information.

Personally Identifiable Information collected by Nine0Media may be used for other purposes including but not limited to site administration and troubleshooting. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting service and our newsletter provider, for example) may access such information.

As we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such transactions your information in response to court order, at other times when we are reasonably required to do so by law, in relation with the collection of amounts may be due to us by you, and/or whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary to give such information to law enforcement authorities. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
