Pinnacle Deals is the sole owner of
the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this
information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this
statement. Pinnacle Deals collects information from our users at several
different points on our website.
Registration
In order to use certain sections of this website, such as the forums, a user
must first complete the registration form. During registration a user is
required to give their contact information (such as name and email address).
This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for
which they have expressed interest. It is optional for the user to provide
demographic information (such as income level and gender), and unique
identifiers (such as social security number), but encouraged so we can provide a
more personalized experience on our site.
Order
We request information from the user on some of our order forms. Here a user
must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial
information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is
used for billing purposes and to fill customer’s orders. If we have trouble
processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the
user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing
information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any
personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes
their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie
on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once,
thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may
still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited
in some areas of our site. For example, the user will not be able to
participate in any of our Sweepstakes, Contests or monthly Drawings that take
place. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users
to enhance the experience on our site.
Some of our business partners use
cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to
or control over these cookies.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s
movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP
addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and
advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify
any individual person.
We
sometimes partner with third parties to provide specific services. When the user signs up
for these services, we will share names, or other contact information that is
necessary for the third party to provide these services.
These
parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for
the purpose of providing these services.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that Pinnacle
Deals is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We
encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy
statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by
this Web site.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact
information such as name and email address.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary
and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. Information requested may include contact information (such as
name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age
level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award
prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving
the use and satisfaction of this site.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about
our site, we ask them for the friend’s name and email address. Pinnacle
Deals will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit
the site. Pinnacle Deals does not store this information anywhere.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When
users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is
protected both online and off-line.
If you have any questions about the
security at our website, you can send an email to
webmaster@pinnacledeals.com
Special Offers
We may send all new members a welcoming
email to verify password and username. Established members will occasionally
receive information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out
of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive
these types of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service
announcement updates. Members are not able to un-subscribe from service
announcements, which contain important information about the service. We
communicate with the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues
relating to their account via email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal
Information:
If a user’s personally identifiable
information changes (such as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our
service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that
user’s personal data provided to us. This can usually be done at the member
information page or by emailing our Webmaster at
webmaster@pinnacledeals.com.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out’ of having their information
used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for
the information.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email or email us at webmaster@pinnacledeals.com
Users
of our site are always notified when their information is being collected by any
outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to
whether they should proceed with services that require an outside party, or not.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our
Homepage so our users 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 will notify users by way of an
email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information
in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy
policy under which the information was collected.
