As part of its day-to-day business activities, HCV Pacific Partners must disclose certain aggregate level information about HCV Pacific Partners members to certain third parties; principally, (1) HCV Pacific Partners' Network Partners, and (2) Marketers who use HCV Pacific Partners's network. Below is the information and circumstances under which HCV Pacific Partners may be required to disclose information to third parties.
(1) Network Partners: When a HCV Pacific Partners member registers through the Web site of a Network Partner, HCV Pacific Partners is obligated to disclose to that particular Network Partner the information submitted by the HCV Pacific Partners member during the registration process. In addition to the foregoing information, HCV Pacific Partners may also disclose aggregate level information to the Network Partner about HCV Pacific Partners members who registered through that particular Network Partner's site. Such aggregate information may include, for example, the number of individuals who registered through the Network Partner's site; the turnover rate of HCV Pacific Partners members who have registered through the Network Partner's site; with respect to any particular campaign, the response rates of the HCV Pacific Partners members who registered through the Network Partner's site; and statistics on the interest categories selected by the HCV Pacific Partners members who have registered through the Network Partner's site. Subject to the exceptions discussed below, HCV Pacific Partners will not knowingly disclose any personally identifiable information about a HCV Pacific Partners member to a Network Partner unless such personally identifiable information was provided during the registration process through the Network Partner's Web site.
(2) Marketers: HCV Pacific Partners will disclose aggregate level information about HCV Pacific Partners members to marketers as reasonably necessary to explain the services that HCV Pacific Partners can offer, to report on the advertising campaigns that HCV Pacific Partners undertakes for any particular marketer, and/or to implement and explain campaign strategies. Subject to the exceptions discussed below, HCV Pacific Partners will not knowingly disclose any personally identifiable information about a HCV Pacific Partners member to a marketer. Due to the existing legal, regulatory and security environment, HCV Pacific Partners may be required, under certain circumstances, to disclose aggregate level and/or personally identifiable information about its members. HCV Pacific Partners will use its best efforts to limit such disclosure to the following: where HCV Pacific Partners believes in good faith that it is required to do so in response to a subpoena or other legal process; where reasonably required to do so in order to maintain, update or otherwise implement HCV Pacific Partners's data security measures, equipment, technical operations and the like; or where reasonably necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against persons or entities to preserve and/or enforce HCV Pacific Partners's rights.
Use of Information
HCV Pacific Partners uses member information to deliver the HCV Pacific Partners services. Thus, member information is used by HCV Pacific Partners in identifying information that may be of interest to its members. A member's e-mail address will be used by HCV Pacific Partners to contact that member about member-selected interests. HCV Pacific Partners also uses member information to monitor, interpret, analyze, and report campaign results. HCV Pacific Partners does not use member information for purposes unrelated to the services offered by HCV Pacific Partners.
Protection of Member Information
HCV Pacific Partners undertakes substantial efforts to protect the confidentiality of the identity, preferences and other information it has collected about individual members and will never knowingly allow access to this information to anyone outside HCV Pacific Partners other than to the member or as described above under the heading Limits of Confidentiality.
HCV Pacific Partners has made a substantial investment in its server, database, backup, and firewall technologies to protect the information assets of the HCV Pacific Partners, including the confidentiality of information collected about HCV Pacific Partners members. These technologies are deployed as part of a sophisticated security architecture and protocol. You should also do your part in protecting your information. Your HCV Pacific Partners user name and password are confidential and we recommend that you not divulge them to anyone. Unfortunately, neither HCV Pacific Partners network nor data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure. As a result, while we strive to protect member information, HCV Pacific Partners cannot ensure or warrant the security of member information. Thus, any information a member transmits to us is done so at the member's own risk. Once we receive member information, HCV Pacific Partners undertakes substantial efforts to protect the confidentiality of this information consistent with this Policy.
