V.G. Multi-Media Group thumbshigh.com Online Privacy Statement
V.G. Multi-Media Group is committed to protecting your privacy. Please read the V.G. Multi-Media Group Privacy Statement below about particular services that you may use.
This V.G. Multi-Media Group Online Privacy Statement applies to data collected by V.G. Multi-Media Group through this website, thumbshigh.com.
Collection of Your Personal Information
At this site, thumbshigh.com, we ask you to provide personal information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. We may also collect demographic information, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites. If you choose to make a purchase or sign up for paid advertising and a website, we will ask for additional information, such as your credit card number and billing address, that is used to create a V.G. Multi-Media Group billing account.
In order to access some V.G. Multi-Media Group services, you will be asked to sign in with an e-mail address and password, which we refer to as your credentials. You can use the same credentials to sign in to thumbshigh.com from any computer in the world. You may also be requested to provide questions and secret answers, which we use to help verify your identity and assist in resetting your password, as well as an alternate email address. Some services may require added security, and in these cases, you may be asked to create an additional security key.
We may collect information about your visit, including the pages you view, the links you click and other actions taken in connection with V.G. Multi-Media sites and services. We also deliver advertisements and provide website analytics tools on non-V.G. Multi-Media Group sites and services, and we may collect information about page views on these third party sites as well. Additionally, we collect certain standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring Web site addresses. When you receive newsletters or promotional e-mail from V.G. Multi-Media Group, we may use web beacons (described below), customized links or similar technologies to determine whether the e-mail has been opened and which links you click in order to provide you more focused e-mail communications or other information.
In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions with thumbshigh.com, information collected through one V.G. Multi-Media Group service may be combined with information obtained through other V.G. Multi-Media Group services. We may also supplement the information we collect with information obtained from other companies. For example, we may use services from other companies that enable us to derive a general geographic area based on your IP address in order to customize certain services to your geographic area.
Use of Your Personal Information
V.G. Multi-Media Group collects and uses your personal information to operate and improve its sites and deliver the services or carry out the transactions you have requested. These uses may include providing you with more effective customer service; making the sites or services easier to use by eliminating the need for you to repeatedly enter the same information; performing research and analysis aimed at improving our products, services and technologies; and displaying content and advertising that are customized to your interests and preferences.
The websites and online services we offer are supported by advertising. As indicated above, we may use some of the information we collect in order to personalize the ads we show you. However, we designed our systems to select ads based only on data that does not personally and directly identify you. For example, we may select the ads we display according to certain general interest categories or segments that we have inferred based on (a) demographic data, including any you may have provided when creating an account (e.g. age, zip or postal code, gender), general demographic data acquired from other companies, and a general geographic location derived from your IP address, (b) the pages you view and links you click when using V.G. Multi-Media Group and its partners’ web sites and services, and (c) the search terms you enter when using the thumbshigh.com Internet site search services. When we display personalized ads, we take a number of steps designed to protect your privacy. For example, we store page views, clicks and search terms used for ad personalization separately from your contact information or other data that directly identifies you (such as your name, e-mail address, etc.). Further, we have built in technological and process safeguards designed to prevent the unauthorized correlation of this data.
We also use your personal information to communicate with you. We may send certain mandatory service communications such as welcome letters, billing reminders, information on technical service issues, and security announcements. Some V.G. Multi-Media Group services, such as thumbshigh.com, may send periodic member letters that are considered part of the service. We may also occasionally send you product surveys or promotional mailings to inform you of other products or services available from V.G. Multi-Media Group and its affiliates.
Personal information collected on V.G. Multi-Media Group services sites and services may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which V.G. Multi-Media Group or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by using a V.G. Multi-Media Group site or service, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country. V.G. Multi-Media Group abides by the safe harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union.
Sharing of Your Personal Information
Except as described in this statement, we will not disclose your personal information outside of V.G. Multi-Media Group and its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates without your consent. Some V.G. Multi-Media Group sites allow you to choose to share your personal information with select V.G. Multi-Media Group partners so that they can contact you about their products, services or offers.
Some V.G. Multi-Media Group services may be co-branded and offered in conjunction with another company. If you register for or use such services, both V.G. Multi-Media Group and the other company may receive information collected in conjunction with the co-branded services.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, hosting websites, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. Those companies will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
We may access and/or disclose your personal information if we believe such action is necessary to:
(a) comply with the law or legal process served on V.G. Multi-Media Group;
(b) protect and defend the rights or property of V.G. Multi-Media Group (including the enforcement of our agreements); or
(c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of V.G. Multi-Media Group services or members of the public.
Accessing Your Personal Information
You may have the ability to view or edit your personal information online at thumbshigh.com. In order to help prevent your personal information from being viewed by others, you will be required to sign in with your credentials (I.D,/user name address and password).
Communication Preferences
You can stop the delivery of future promotional e-mail from V.G. Multi-Media sites and services simply by sending us an e-mail to thumbshigh.com and alerting us to your decision. These choices do not apply to the display of online advertising. Nor do they apply to the receipt of mandatory service communications that are considered part of certain V.G. Multi-Media Group, which you may receive periodically unless you cancel the service.
Security of Your Personal Information
V.G. Multi-Media Group is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access, which are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential information (such as a credit card number or password) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
If a password is used to help protect your accounts and personal information, it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. Do not share this information with anyone. If you are sharing a computer with anyone you should always choose to log out before leaving a site or service to protect access to your information from subsequent users.
Collection and Use of Children's Personal Information
This site, thumbshigh.com and services are intended for general audiences and do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. We encourage you to talk with your children about communicating with strangers and disclosing personal information online on other sites.
Use of Cookies
V.G. Multi-Media Group websites use "cookies" to enable you to sign in to our services and to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. V.G. Multi-Media Group use cookies to store your preferences and other information on your computer in order to save you time by eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information and to display your personalized content and appropriate advertising on your later visits to these sites.
When you sign in to a site using your thumbshigh.com user name and password, we store your unique ID number, and the time you signed in, in an encrypted cookie on your hard disk. This cookie allows you to move from page to page at the site without having to sign in again on each page. When you sign out, these cookies are deleted from your computer. We also use cookies to improve the sign in experience. For example, your e-mail address may be stored in a cookie that will remain on your computer after you sign out. This cookie allows your e-mail address to be pre-populated, so that you will only need to type your password the next time you sign in. If you are using a public computer or do not otherwise want this information to be stored, you can select the appropriate radio button on the sign-in page, and this cookie will not be used.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to sign in or use other interactive features of thumbshigh.com and services that depend on cookies.
Use of Web Beacons
thumbshigh.com web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons - sometimes called single-pixel gifs - that may be used to assist in delivering cookies on our sites and allow us to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. We may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or our newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
thumbshigh.com may also employ Web beacons from third parties in order to help us compile aggregated statistics regarding the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns or other operations of our sites. We prohibit Web beacons on our sites from being used by third parties to collect or access your personal information.
Finally, we may work with other companies that advertise on V.G. Multi-Media Group sites to place Web beacons on their sites in order to allow us to develop statistics on how often clicking on an advertisement on a V.G. Multi-Media Group site results in a purchase or other action on the advertiser's site.
Advertisements Displayed by Third Parties
The majority of the online advertisements you see on thumbshigh.com web pages are displayed by V.G. Multi-Media Group. However, we allow third-party ad serving companies, including ad networks, to display advertisements on thumbshigh.com web pages. These companies currently include, but are not limited to: 24/7 Real Media, Advertising.com, Atlas, Bidclix, BlueStreak, Burst Media, DoubleClick, EuroClick, Eyeblaster, EyeWonder, Falk, Interpolls, Kanoodle, Mediaplex, Pointroll, TangoZebra, Yahoo! Publisher Network, and Zedo.
Ad serving companies often place a persistent cookie on your computer in order to recognize your computer each time they display an online advertisement to you. Because these companies may serve advertisements on many different websites, they may be able to compile information over time about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw and/or clicked on the advertisements they display. These companies may use this information to make predictions about your characteristics or preferences and to display targeted advertisements that they believe may be of interest to you. They may also associate this information with your subsequent visit, purchase or other activity on participating advertisers’ websites in order to determine the effectiveness of the advertisements.
These companies may offer you a way to opt out of ad targeting based on their cookies. You may find more information by clicking on the company names above and following the links to the websites of each company. Some of these companies are members of the Network Advertising Initiative, which offers a single location to opt out of ad targeting from member companies.
Controlling "Spam" or Unsolicited E-mail
V.G. Multi-Media Group is concerned about controlling unsolicited commercial e-mail, or "spam." V.G. Multi-Media Group has a strict Anti-Spam Policy prohibiting the use of a fellow members account to spam.
V.G. Multi-Media Group will not sell, lease or rent its e-mail subscriber lists to third parties. While V.G. Multi-Media Group continues to actively review and implement new technology, such as expanded filtering features, there is no currently available technology that will totally prevent the sending and receiving of unsolicited e-mail. Using junk e-mail tools and being cautious about the sharing of your e-mail address while online will help reduce the amount of unsolicited e-mail you receive.
