CV
Target Privacy Policy
We at CV Target ("we" or "CV Target") have created this privacy
policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to protecting your
personal information and informing you about how we handle
it. This privacy policy only applies to transactions and activities
in which you engage, and data gathered, on the CV Target Website
and email communications between CV Target members (collectively,
the "Site") but does not apply to any other Website or offline
point of contact between CV Target, or any other company,
and consumers. Please review this privacy policy periodically
as we may modify it from time to time. This privacy policy
was last revised 10 of September 2006. Each time you visit
the Site or provide us with information, by doing so you are
accepting the practices described in this privacy policy at
that time.
Your IP Address
Each time you visit the Site, we automatically collect your
IP address and the web page from which you came. In order
to administer and optimize the Site for you and to diagnose
problems with our Site, we use your IP address to help identify
you and to gather broad demographic information about you.
Cookies
CV Target uses cookies to keep track of your purchases and
other activity on the Site and enhance your experience on
the Site. We also use cookies to deliver content specific
to your interests, to save your password, and if you choose,
to save other personal and financial information so you do
not have to reenter it each time you visit the Site. Third
party advertisers on the Site may also place or read cookies
on your browser. If you wish to disable these cookies, the
"help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you
how. However, if you set your browser to disable cookies,
you may not be able to access certain areas on the Site.
Information We Collect From You
In order to operate the Site and to provide you with information
about products or services that may be of interest to you,
we may collect "personal information" (i.e. information that
could be used to contact you directly (without using the Site)
such as full name, postal address, phone number or email address),
"financial information" (i.e. credit card numbers or passwords)
or "demographic information" (i.e. information that you submit,
or that we collect, that is neither personal information nor
financial information; this may include, but is not limited
to, postal code, hometown, gender, username, age/birth date,
purchase history information, browsing history information,
searching history information, registration history information,
and the content of communications between you and other members
over the Site), subject to the rest of this paragraph. Demographic
information is divided into two categories: 1) "non-public
information", which consists of purchase history information
and one-on-one communications between you and other users
of the Site; and 2) "public information", which consists of
all other demographic information. Please note that nowhere
on the Site do we knowingly collect personal information from
people under the age of 18, as we require that all users represent
to us that they are at least 18 years of age.
Microsoft .NET Passport Service
This Web site uses the Microsoft .NET Passport service, which
makes your online experience signing in, purchasing items,
and giving consent for your children easier and more secure.
When you sign in to this site using .NET Passport, you will
be asked to provide your e-mail address and a password to
sign you in. This same .NET Passport sign-in allows you to
access many other participating .NET Passport Web sites. When
you register for a .NET Passport at this Web site, a profile
is created and some of your registration data is shared with
Microsoft, such as your e-mail address. The .NET Passport
service assigns a personal identification number and sends
it to your computer in the form of a small text file, called
a "cookie." The use of this cookie allows you to visit other
participating .NET Passport Web sites without having to sign
in to each Web site. To learn more about the .NET Passport
service and how .NET Passport uses and protects your personal
information, please read the .NET Passport privacy statement

From You
On the Site, we place links to other Websites operated by
other parties. Some of these other Websites contain our brand
names and trademarks and other intellectual property. When
you click on these links and visit these other Websites, regardless
of whether or not they contain our brand names, trademarks
and other intellectual property, you need to be aware that
we do not control these other Websites or these other Websites'
business practices, and that this privacy policy does not
apply to these other Websites. Consequently, the operators
of these other Websites may collect different kinds of information
about you, and may use and disclose that information in different
ways than we would if it were collected on the Site. We encourage
you to review their privacy policies and remind you that we
will not be responsible for their actions.

may also contain commercial messages, such as banner ads and
special offers.

By purchasing, or registering or making reservations for,

our providing your personal information to those third parties.
Those third parties may use your personal information in accordance
with their own privacy policies. You will need to contact
those third parties to instruct them directly regarding your
preferences for the use of your personal information by them.
Additionally, you agree that we may use and disclose all such
information so submitted to such third parties in the same
manner in which we are entitled to use and disclose any other
information you submit to us.
Any third party with whom we are allowed to share your personal
information is authorized to use your personal information
in accordance with our contractual arrangements with such
third parties and in accordance with their own privacy policies,
over which we have no control, and you agree that we are not
responsible or liable for any of their actions or omissions.
Those who contact you will need to be instructed directly
by you regarding your preferences for the use of your personal
information by them. Please read the information below under
the heading "Special Cases in which we Share Personal and
Financial Information" to learn more ways in which we may
share your personal information.
How We Use Financial Information
We use your financial information to check your qualifications,
to bill you for products and services and to enable you to
participate in which you may elect to participate. By making
a purchase, or engaging in any other kind of activity or transaction
that uses financial information, on the Site, you consent
to our providing your financial information to our service
providers and to such third parties as we determine are necessary
to support and process your activities and transactions, as
well as to your credit card issuer for their purposes. These
third parties may include the credit card companies and banking
institutions used to process and support the transaction or
activity. By purchasing, or registering or making reservations
for, products or services of third parties offered on the
Site, or by participating in programs offered on the Site
that are administered by third parties and that require you
to submit financial information in order to use them, you
also consent to our providing your financial information to
those third parties. Additionally, if the page on which you
submit information is a Partnership Page, or was accessed
by clicking on a link on a Partnership Page, then we may share
your financial information with the associated Partnership
Company. Any of these various third parties (including Partnership
Companies) may be authorized to use your financial information
in accordance with our contractual arrangements with such
third parties and in accordance with their own privacy policies,
over which we have no control, and you agree that we are not
responsible or liable for any of their actions or omissions.
Additionally, you agree that we may use and disclose all such
information so submitted to such third parties in the same
manner in which we are entitled to use and disclose any other
information that you submit to us. Please read the information
below under the heading "Special Cases in which we Share Personal
and Financial Information" to learn more ways in which we
may share your financial information.
Special Cases in which we Share
Personal and Financial Information
Your personal information or financial information may be
passed on to a third party in the event of a transfer of ownership
or assets, or a bankruptcy. We may also disclose personal
information or financial information when we determine that
such disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable law,
to cooperate with law enforcement or to protect the interests
or safety of CV Target or other visitors to the Site. We also
may disclose your personal information or financial information
to our subsidiary and parent companies and businesses, and
other affiliated legal entities and businesses with whom we
are under common corporate control. Whenever personal information
or financial information is disclosed under this paragraph,
we may also disclose your demographic information along with
it, on a non-anonymous basis. All of our parent, subsidiary
and affiliated legal entities and businesses that receive
your personal information, financial information, or non-anonymous
demographic information from us will comply with the terms
of this privacy policy with respect to their use and disclosure
of such information.
How We Use Public Information and Other
Demographic Information
We may review all demographic information. We may use public
information to enable other users to find your profile, to
determine whether they are a match for you and to communicate
with you. We may use demographic information to tailor the
Site and communications to your interests. We may also share
demographic information with advertisers on an anonymous and
aggregated basis (i.e., without telling the advertisers your
identity). One of the reasons we may do this is to increase
the likelihood that our advertisers' goods and services will
appeal to CV Target's users, so that we may target specific
ads at specific demographic groups. Our sharing of demographic
information with advertisers is anonymous (i.e., we do not
tell advertisers which particular CV Target users are members
of which demographic groups), subject to the rest of this
privacy policy. When you respond to an advertisement, however,
we ask you to remember that if that ad that is targeted to
a demographic group and you decide to give the advertiser
your personal information, then the advertiser may be able
to identify you as being a member of that demographic group.
Please also be aware that when we disclose your financial
information or personal information to a Partnership Company,
as described above, we may also disclose to that Partnership
Company your demographic information, other than the content
of one-on-one communications between you and other members.
Please also be aware that we may disclose your demographic
information on a non-anonymous basis as described above in
the paragraph titled "Special Cases in which we Share Personal
and Financial Information." Also, to read further details
about how we may use your public information, see our Terms
of Use .
Our Security Precautions
The Site has security measures in place to protect against
the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our
control. Our secure server software (SSL) is the industry
standard and among the best software available today for secure
commerce transactions. We encrypt all of your personal and
financial information as it travels over the Internet and
we store your financial information on our servers in encrypted
form. Your information may be transferred to and maintained
on computer networks which may be located outside of the state,
province, country or other governmental jurisdiction in which
you reside, and the country or jurisdiction in which these
computer networks are located may not have privacy laws as
protective as the laws in your country or jurisdiction.
Changing our Privacy Policy for
Previously Gathered Information
If at any point we decide to use particular personally identifiable
information in a manner different from that stated at the
time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email
or by providing 30 days notice on the Site. Please note that
we will continue to have the right to change our privacy policy
and practices, and how we use your personally identifiable
information, without notice, as described in the first paragraph
of this Privacy Policy, provided that such changes shall only
apply to information gathered on or after the date of the
change.
