JointVenturePowerCircle.com 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, JointVenturePowerCircle.com 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
JointVenturePowerCircle.com to communicate with you about your
registration and customization preferences; our Terms of Service and
privacy policy; services and products offered by
JointVenturePowerCircle.com and other topics we think you might find of
interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by
JointVenturePowerCircle.com 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
JointVenturePowerCircle.com 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
JointVenturePowerCircle.com page, certain content that is actually created
or hosted by a third party. Also, through JointVenturePowerCircle.com you
may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites,
features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties.
JointVenturePowerCircle.com 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. JointVenturePowerCircle.com 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 JointVenturePowerCircle.com and this policy.

JointVenturePowerCircle.com does not knowingly collect or solicit
Personally Identifiable Information from or about children under 13 except
