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.

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
