4. How ineedhits.com uses the information?
COOKIES AND LOG FILES:
First, we use a feature of your browser called a cookie to assign
identification to your computer.
For the purpose of tracking traffic activity on ineedhits.com and its co-branded Web sites
(Yahoo! Search Submit - searchSubmit.ineedhits.com, ExactSeek Featured Listings - ineedhits.exactseek.com,
whatUseek Submit A Site - www.ineedhits.com/whatuseek/, and Hitslink - ineedhits.hitslink.com),
we use a third party, cookie based tracking system by Hitslink (hitslink.com). For the purpose
of operating our affiliate program and tracking affiliate sales and revenues, we use a third party,
cookie based tracking system by Shareasale (shareasale.com).
The unique user ID contained within your
cookie automatically identifies your computer, but not you, to our servers
every time you visit our site. Cookies by themselves cannot be used to
find out the identity of any user but may be correlated with identity
information in our log files. You can turn the cookies feature off by
using your browser's preference options, but you may not be able to
utilize some services properly.
Second, we keep track of your IP address to help diagnose problems with
our server and to administer our Web site. Your IP address is also used to
gather broad demographic information about you, such as your location and
your Internet service provider. ineedhits.com may also collect combined
information on how our users are utilizing the site. This might include
information regarding traffic patterns through the site and search
queries. No IP address/logfile information is tied to Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
Third, we log browser types, access times, URLs from which visitors came
to our site and URLs viewed by visitors while on our site. Except as
otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not provide this
information to third parties, except in combined form.Top
5. What choices are available to users regarding collection, use and
distribution of the information?
ORDERS:
We request information from the user on our order forms. Here a user must
provide contact information (like name and email address) and financial
information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information
is used for billing purposes and to process orders. If we have trouble
when processing an order, this contact information is used to contact
the user.
NEWSLETTER Opt-In AND Opt-Out:
If you, the customer, indicate that you would like to receive our search
engine marketing newsletter, we will use your contact details for sending
the newsletter to you only. This information is not distributed to any
third-party. You may opt-out from receiving the newsletter by following
the instructions in the newsletter. As a customer, you also have the option
of updating your email preferences online in the "Profile" section of the
account management area..

6. What types of security procedures are in place to protect the loss,
misuse or alteration of information under ineedhits.com control?
SECURITY:
Our Web site takes every precaution to protect our users' information.
When users submit sensitive information via the Web site, that information
is protected both online and off-line.
When our order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as
credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with
the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure
page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers
such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked,
as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we
also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All
of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned
above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the
information to perform a specific job (for example, our accounts department
or our Customer Care Representatives, or our SEO Specialists) are granted
access to personally identifiable information. ALL employees are kept
up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Our servers that
personally identifiable information is stored on are kept in a secure
environment and are stored behind a firewall.
If you have any questions about the security at our Web site, you can send
an email to query@ineedhits.com.Top
7. How users can correct any inaccuracies in the information.
All users of our co-branded paid inclusion services can review and modify
their account or profile information in the respective account management
areas. Alternatively they can also contact us by email through several
avenues provided on pages of our www.ineedhits.com Web site or directly
email us with the customer support links provided in our service report
emails. Top
8. What happens if our Privacy Policy changes?
NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES:
If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, our users will be notified so
they are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it,
and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we
decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different
from that stated at the time it was collected, we would notify users by
way on an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use
their information in this different manner. However, if you have
deleted/deactivated your personal information you will not be contacted,
nor will your personal information be used in this new manner. We
will only use information in accordance with the Privacy Policy under
which the information was collected.Top
