This statement describes what you can expect from us regarding personal data on
alehigado.com, and your associated rights and responsibilities. This statement
is a part of the TrustSquare user agreement but trumps any conflicts with the
agreement. This statement does not address anyone else's practices or our
practices beyond the alehigado.com site.

Cookies, IP Addresses and URLs.
Cookies are data snippets that websites store on your computer's hard drive. We
use cookies to analyze site use, target ads, store your preferences/passwords
(if you've registered) and personalize your experience (including tracking your
site use to do so). You can configure most web browsers to reject cookies or
notify you when cookies are placed. If you're not registered, rejecting cookies
won't noticeably affect your experience on alehigado.com. You must accept
cookies to access alehigado.com as a registered user.
Your access provider assigns an IP address to your computer when you use the
Internet. We log each IP address that accesses the site, along with
referring/destination URLs. We use this data, as well as other data in our
databases, to analyze site and user behavior, troubleshoot technical problems,
resolve disputes, address complaints and prepare aggregated reports that we
share with others.

|
Email-Only Registration.
You may subscribe to emails or newsletters by
providing only your email address and password, which we use to create a
username and account for you. For privacy purposes, an email-only account acts
like a registered account. However, you cannot use some site functionality until
you complete your registration.
|
Registration/Member Data.
When you register, you provide us with some
personal data (including your email address). You can also tell us more about
yourself through your account pages or through site features such as Wish Lists.
Occasionally, a co-brand partner may provide us with data about you.
We use registration and member data for many purposes, including to target
ads to you and to email you (including newsletters and alerts). In most cases,
you can configure your account to turn these emails on and off. However, some
administrative emails (such as emails about user agreement changes or
communications) are not optional while you have an account.
When you register, we will automatically enroll you in the Shopping.com Smart
Shopper Club. Administration of this program may require that we share some of
your personal data with one or more of our partners. Usually these partners sign
a standard confidentiality agreement.
Through your account page, you can choose to publicly display (or hide) some
data about yourself (including your photo).
If you register through a co-branded site, in some cases we provide your
registration data to the co-brand partner. In these cases, the partner's use of
registration data is governed by their privacy policies, not ours.
You may have opportunities to express interest in or register for third
parties products and services. If you do, we will provide data about you to the
third party to implement your request.
|
Content and Ratings. You can publish reviews, comments and other
content. Members can choose to rate products or reviews, and to trust other
members. As an unregistered visitor, we may allow you to rate products and/or
reviews.
Your review ratings and trust statements are displayed publicly unless you
change the default configuration. Your member name is automatically displayed
with reviews and comments you publish, and if other members choose to, they can
receive email notifications of your publications or publish their own comments
to your reviews.
We, and our licensees, can republish your content as described in the user
agreement. We publish product ratings and use them to develop aggregate ratings,
personalize site views and merchandise products. We use your review ratings and
web of trust to personalize site views and identify/feature popular members. For
example, we may promote most popular or highest-earning reviews and members.
While we don't expect to transfer the complete review rating and web of trust
database to others (except as contemplated elsewhere in this statement), we use
the database throughout our networks to generate results for others.
|
|
Email Tools. If you send emails through our site, your email will
include your email address and any personal message you include. However, these
emails aren't private communications. We do not retain, in any
easily-retrievable way, the addresses you are emailing. You may not use these
tools to send spam or content that violates the user agreement.
|
|
Feedback.
We may ask for your feedback through a survey, which we treat like other business records.
|
|
Other Data Collection. We may get data from or about you in other ways
not specifically described in this statement. For example, you might contact
Community Care, or we may get a third party complaint about you. We handle this
data like other business records. However, if we tell you elsewhere that
specific data is governed by rules that supplement or contradict this statement,
those rules trump this statement.
|
|
Data Changes. If you terminate your account or delete/change your data or
content, we usually update our live databases immediately. To do this, please
edit your Member Profile. However, some data may update more slowly, and some
old data may remain in our archives and records. Also, we may be unable to
propagate changes to partners who receive your data or content. If your account
is being terminated or suspended, we may maintain some data to prevent
re-registration.
|
|
Government Relations and Lawsuits. We may disclose data about you to the
government if we are required to do so or if we think the disclosure is
appropriate, and you authorize these disclosures. We may also disclose data
about you in connection with actual or potential lawsuits (a) if we are required
to do so, (b) if such disclosures may potentially mitigate our liability, or (c)
to enforce our rights.
|
|
Communicating with Other Users. You may not harvest personal data
(including email addresses) from the site, and specifically you may not use
email addresses displayed on the site to ask users to join or contribute to your
services.
|
|
Limits on Our Abilities. Our site is very complicated, so we might
inadvertently use or disclose your data in ways inconsistent with this
statement. For example, a temporary software glitch could lead to public display
of your personal data despite your preferences otherwise. We might also make ad
hoc uses of your data in ways not mentioned here. In these anomalous situations,
your sole remedy is that we will try to rectify the anomaly as soon as we can.
|
|
Security. We use industry-standard security protocols, such as (if and
where appropriate) firewalls and restrictions on which employees can access user
data. However, perfect security does not exist on the Internet. Also, in theory
third parties can intercept Internet transmissions containing your personal
data, and we don't control the privacy/security of transmissions to and from the
site while in transit.
|
|
Notification of Changes This policy may be revised over time as new
features are added to the Web site. We will post our new privacy policy, along
with the date of its last revision, prominently so that you will always know
what information we gather, how we use that information, and whether we will
disclose it to anyone. Please check this Web page for information about
revisions to our privacy policy. If you would like to receive e-mail
notification of any such changes, please contact us at requesting the same.
