PRIVACY
POLICY
Last Updated:

Auger
Marketing 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, Auger Marketing 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 Auger Marketing to
communicate with you about your registration and customization
preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy; services and
products offered by Auger Marketing and other topics we think you might
find of interest.
Personally
Identifiable Information collected by Auger Marketing 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
Auger
Marketing 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
Auger Marketing page, certain content that is actually created or
hosted by a third party. Also, through Auger Marketing you may be
introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features,
contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. Auger Marketing 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. Auger Marketing 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
Auger Marketing and this policy.
Children
Auger
Marketing 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 Auger Marketing has any
information from or about anyone under 13, please contact us at the
address listed below.

Changes to this
Policy
Auger
Marketing 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.
Auger
Marketing is controlled, operated and administered entirely
within Auger Marketing. This statement and the policies outlined herein
are not intended to and do not create any contractual or other legal
rights in or on behalf of any party.
