You agree to this Privacy Policy, in its entirety, when you:
(i) access or use our Site;

Personally Identifiable Information:
We collect Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) on the Site when you attempt to register as a Commenter and/or Contributor or otherwise choose to provide PII to us. PII is any information that can be used to identify or locate a particular person or entity. This may include, but is not limited to: your full name, e-mail address, mailing address, daytime and/or cellular telephone numbers, date of birth and/or any other information requested on the applicable form.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information:
We may collect certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information (“Non-PII”) about you when you visit many of the Site’s pages, such as the type of browser you are using (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer), the type of operating system you are using, (e.g., Windows ’98 or Mac OS) and the domain name of your Internet service provider (e.g., America Online, Earthlink). We use the Non-PII that we collect to improve the design and content of the Site and to enable us to personalize your Internet experience. We also may use this information in the aggregate to analyze Site usage.
Cookies:
To enhance your experience with the Site, we use “cookies.” Cookies are used by your computer’s browser to store your preferences. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your e-mail address or other personally identifiable information. We use cookies to understand Site usage and to improve the content and offerings on the Site. You can disable cookies through your Internet browser. If you set your browser not to accept cookies, you will still be able to use the Site.

Use of Information:
We use your PII to send you the information regarding Progressive Connection. We may also use your PII to send you email messages featuring various products and services that may be of interest to you (“Email Offers”). Your contact information may also be used to reach you, when necessary, regarding issues concerning your use of the Site and the Progressive Connection services. You may, at any time, notify us that you do not wish to have your Personal Information disclosed to third parties for offers and Promotions by unsubscribing with the link in any of our emails.
Information Sharing:
As a general rule, and other than in connection with the limited exceptions set forth below, Progressive Connection will not sell, share or rent your PII to or with others. Your PII is not shared with any third parties, except: (a) where required by law, or requested by a court of competent jurisdiction; (b) in the event of Progressive Connection’s bankruptcy, or if Progressive Connection is sold or acquired; (c) where you are in violation of this Privacy Policy or the Terms and Conditions; or (d) where Progressive Connection determines, in its sole discretion, that such disclosure is necessary to protect the rights of Progressive Connection, or necessary to protect Progressive Connection from liability of any kind.
Security:
All collected information is stored in a technically and physically secure environment. We take precautions to protect PII both online and off-line. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your PII, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems. All of our users’ information, not just PII, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to PII. Furthermore, access to this information is strictly limited, and not accessible to the public. Our employees are dedicated to ensuring the security and privacy of all user information. Employees not adhering to our firm policies are subject to disciplinary action. Please note that any attempt to breach the security of the network, our servers, databases or other hardware or software supporting the Site or other websites under the control of Progressive Connection constitutes a crime punishable by law. We will turn over to authorities, any and all evidence relating to a potential breach of security or other abuse against the network, servers, databases or other such supporting equipment or software. In compliance with applicable federal and state laws, we shall notify you in the event that we learn of an information security breach with respect to your PII. You will be notified via e-mail in the event of such a breach. Please be advised that notice may be delayed in order to address the needs of law enforcement, determine the scope of network damage, and to engage in remedial measures.
Minors:
We encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate and monitor the interactive activities of their children.

If Progressive Connection obtains actual knowledge that it has collected personal information about a child under the age of eighteen (18) years old, that information will be immediately deleted from its database. Because it does not collect such information, Progressive Connection has no such information to use or to disclose to third parties.
