SilveriNet.COM PRIVACY POLICY
SilveriNet.com, a property of Silvercarrot.com, has created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy and the protection of your personally identifiable information at the SilveriNet.com website (the "Website"). As part of our business, we collect and, in some instances, may disclose information about you - but only as set forth in this Privacy Policy. To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our personal information collection and use practices and the choices that you can make concerning the use of your personal information. This Privacy Policy also applies to individuals that have agreed to receive e-mail marketing from SilveriNet.com or one of our advertising partners, whether at the Website, via e-mail, on third-party websites or otherwise.
Information Collected and Use of Your Information
For each visitor to the Website, our servers automatically recognize only the visitor's domain name, but not the e-mail address (unless requested and supplied by the visitor as a part of registration).
You must register to become a member at SilveriNet.com in order to qualify to receive the products and services available through our Website. Some offers require a subsequent registration on the Milesource.com website. To qualify and claim these offers, the instructions posted on the Milesource.com website must be followed. The instructions may require the completion of a registration form, the completion of a survey and several weeks of active Milesource participation. Please review the Milesource.com website for specific instructions as they apply to the individual offers. If you wish to join Milesource.com to claim the offer and NOT join the Website please click here. This link will direct you to a general Milesource.com registration page where you can begin the registration process. On Milesource.com, you can view the offer of interest in the Milesource Award Center and the number of AwardMiles required to redeem that offer.
As part of our on-going efforts to ensure the best possible experience for all visitors to the Website, we collect data from browsers to aggregate statistical information. This includes the type of browser being used, its level of HTML support and what platform it is on. This Privacy Policy also applies to visitors to the Website that have agreed to receive e-mail marketing from SilveriNet.com, but have not separately registered to become a SilveriNet.com member. The personal profile information that you submit to SilveriNet.com remains your property, but by submitting that information to SilveriNet.com, its partners including, but not limited to, SilverNGold, Dealhighway.com, ConsumerValueDirect.com, SmartBrands, BargainSpot, SavingsAvalanche, Deal-zone.com, Couponandgifts.com, AskVinegarJoe.com, TVNewsDaily.com, AsmileADay.com, TensionBusters.com, YourDailySmile.com, YourSelfDaily.com, YourtimeDaily.com and/or any and all other affiliates, you grant .com the right to use that information for marketing purposes. If you are a resident of the State of California and would like to opt-out from the disclosure of your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes, please click here or email us at:Admin@SilveriNet.com.
When visitors elect to become members of SilveriNet.com, we request that they provide additional, personally-identifiable information. This includes name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, age bracket, day and month of birth. All registrants may receive e- mail confirming their registration, and subsequent correspondence. If you do not want to receive e-mail from us in the future, please let us know by using the unsubscribe option on the bottom of every email. Certain information, such as your e-mail address, is collected in order to, among other functions, verify your identity in the future within our database. When you select to receive information about offerings from a third party company during the registration process, we will share your personal information with that third party company to carry out your information request. SilveriNet.com may also use such information to directly market certain offers to you (via e-mail, direct mail and/or telemarketing), to monitor compliance with our Terms and Conditions and for content improvement and feedback purposes. We may sell the personal information that you supply to us and we may join together with other businesses to bring selected retail opportunities to our members. These businesses may include, but are not limited to: (a) providers of direct marketing services and applications, including lookup and reference, data enhancement, suppression and validation; (b) e-mail marketers; and (c) telemarketers.
We may also employ other companies and individuals to perform certain functions on our behalf. Examples include sending direct and electronic mail, removing duplicate information from customer lists, analyzing data, and providing marketing analysis. These agents have access to our members' personal information as needed to perform their functions for SilveriNet.com, but we do not permit them to use our members' personal information for other purposes.
SilveriNet.com reserves the right to release current or past member information in the event SilveriNet.com believes that the membership is being or has been used in violation of the Website's terms and conditions, or to commit unlawful acts, if the information is subpoenaed, if SilveriNet.com is sold or acquired, or when SilveriNet.com deems it necessary or appropriate. By agreeing to these conditions, you hereby consent to disclosure of any record or communication to any third party, when .com, in its sole discretion, determines the disclosure to be appropriate including, without limitation, sharing your e-mail address with other third-parties for suppression purposes in compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, as amended from time to time, and Federal Trade Commission enabling regulations.
In addition, by registering at the Website, you agree that such act constitutes an inquiry and/or application for purposes of the Amended Telemarketing Sales Rule (16 CFR ยค310 et seq.), as amended from time to time (the "Rule"). Notwithstanding that your telephone number may be listed at the Federal Trade Commission's Do-Not-Call List, we retain the right to contact you via telemarketing in accordance with the Rule.
From time to time, we may receive personal information about you from outside sources and add it to your existing registration information on file at the Website. We do this to improve personalization of our services (for example, providing better newsletter content, advertising and/or special offers that we think may be of interest you).
We may also collect other information such as your IP address, domain names, access times and referring third party website addresses. This information is used by SilveriNet.com for the operation of the Website, to maintain the quality of our offerings, and to provide general aggregate statistics regarding .com. Such information is not personally identifiable.
We also collect information such as the identification of the server that your computer is logged onto and whether you opened a .com e-mail message delivered to you. We also may compare our member list to various lists received from other third party companies, in an effort to avoid sending identical or similar e-mail messages to our members.
When you obtain any product or service directly from SilveriNet.com, we collect certain financial information, such as your credit card number, credit card expiration date and billing address. Financial Information that you disclose to SilveriNet.com is used to confirm your age and to bill you for shipping our products and services. To the extent that customer credit card-specific information is collected by SilveriNet.com, said information will be kept in confidence and will not be shared with any third parties (other than consumer credit agencies) without your prior informed consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SilveriNet.com reserves the right to share with third parties the fact that we have credit card information on file for specific customers but we will not share the specific credit card information with third parties without your prior informed consent.
