PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: November 13, 2007
HappilyDivorced.org strives to offer its visitors
the many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an
interactive and personalized experience. We may use Personally
Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street address,
telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We will
never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized
third party. Period."
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. For example, you may be asked to
provide information when you register for access to certain portions of
our site or request certain features, such as newsletters or when you
make a purchase. You may provide information when you participate in
sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other
interactive areas of our site. Like most Web sites, HappilyDivorced.org
also collects information automatically and through the use of
electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example,
we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie
technology to recognize you and hold information from your visit. Among
other things, the cookie may store your user name and password, sparing
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 if you
do you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be
asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able
to customize the site’s features according to your
preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information
to enhance your visit and deliver more individualized content and
advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share your information
with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not
personally identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may
combine information about your usage patterns with similar information
obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services (e.g.,
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. Again, this information does not
include any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow
anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information
collected
on HappilyDivorced.org to communicate with you about your registration
and customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy;
services and products offered by HappilyDivorced.org and other topics
we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by
HappilyDivorced.org may also be used for other purposes, including but
not limited to site administration, troubleshooting, processing of
e-commerce transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests,
and other communications with you. Certain third parties who provide
technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting
service for example) may access such information. We will use your
information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as
we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner
with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user
information may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose
your information in response to a court order, at other times when we
believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with
the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement
authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note
we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
HappilyDivorced.org expects its partners,
advertisers
and affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however,
that third parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and
other content providers accessible through our site, may have their own
privacy and data collection policies and practices. For example, during
your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a
HappilyDivorced.org page, certain content that is actually created or
hosted by a third party. Also, through HappilyDivorced.org you may be
introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features,
contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. HappilyDivorced.org
is not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties.
You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties
when providing information on a feature or page operated by a third
party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional
partners
or other third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt
to identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about you.
For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and may
include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether you
have seen a particular advertisement before. Other features available
on our site may offer services operated by third parties and may use
cookies or other technology to gather information. HappilyDivorced.org
does not control the use of this technology by third parties or the
resulting information, and is not responsible for any actions or
policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily
disclose Personally Identifiable Information on message boards or in
chat areas, that information can be viewed publicly and can be
collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and may
result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties.
Such activities are beyond the control of HappilyDivorced.org and this
policy.
Children
HappilyDivorced.org does not knowingly collect or
solicit Personally Identifiable Information from or about children
under 13 except as permitted by law. If we discover we have received
any information from a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we
will delete that information immediately. If you believe
HappilyDivorced.org has any information from or about anyone under 13,
please contact us at the address listed below.

Changes to this Policy
HappilyDivorced.org reserves the right to change
this policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for
changes. Your continued use of our site following the posting of
changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes. Information
collected prior to the time any change is posted will be used according
to the rules and laws that applied at the time the information was
collected.
Governing law
This policy and the use of this Site are governed
by Florida law. If a dispute arises under this Policy we agree to first
try to resolve it with the help of a mutually agreed-upon mediator in
the following location: Broward County, Florida. Any costs and fees
other than attorney fees associated with the mediation will be shared
equally by each of us.
If it proves impossible to arrive at a mutually
satisfactory solution through mediation, we agree to submit the dispute

Florida, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitration may be entered in
any court with jurisdiction to do so.

administered entirely within Florida. This statement and the policies
outlined herein are not intended to and do not create any contractual
