DoSurfIn provides this Privacy Policy to inform you of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal information we receive from users of http://www.dosurfin.com (the “Site”) and various other websites, like www.google.com, www.facebook.com (“Services”). This Privacy Policy applies only to information that you provide to us through the Services. This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Services. You are advised to consult this policy regularly for any changes. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Service.

As used in this policy, the terms “using” and “processing” information include using cookies on a computer, subjecting the information to statistical or other analysis and using or handling information in any way, including, but not limited to collecting, storing, evaluating, modifying, deleting, using, combining, disclosing and transferring information within our organization or among our affiliates within the United States or internationally.

What Information is Collected?

Our primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve our Services, to administer your membership, and to enable users to enjoy and easily navigate them.

Purchase Related Information: We receive and store the information you provide to DoSurfIn when you make an app-related purchase from DoSurfIn or that you provide to us when you enter promotions or sweepstakes. This personal information, such as a first and last name, valid e-mail address or credit card billing data, may be necessary to purchase postings, subscriptions, enter a promotion or sweepstakes, or otherwise transact business with us. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of our application.
Information We Collect Automatically: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, we automatically send and receive information to and from your computer which we use to automatically update (new features, bug fixes, etc.) our products and services that you may use. Like many websites, we also use “cookies,” and other automated tools to obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses our application. Though such information will typically be used in an aggregated way to improve our products and services, some information may be used to personalize your experience, or to offer you products and services specifically based on your preferences and usage.
Information We Collect From Your Social Networking Site: When you use DoSurfIn on a social networking site or when you connect to a social networking site through the Site, we may record information regarding your use of the application. We may also collect other information that is visible on your social networking site when permitted by that social networking site’s Terms of Use as well as collecting additional information that you chose to allow your social networking site to provide to DoSurfIn. This information may include, but is not limited to, your name, your age, your e-mail address, the location of your computer or handheld device, your profile picture, gender, and the pictures and names of your social networking site “friends”, as well as other basic information regarding your social networking site “friends” that may be provided by the social networking site to DoSurfIn.

You may choose not to allow your social networking site to provide us with certain information about you, but then you might not be able to use DoSurfIn or take advantage of DoSurfIn’s core features.

How Your Information is Used?

DoSurfIn may use the information we collect about you for any of the following purposes:

To better understand how users access and use our products and services, including advertising, on an aggregated and individualized basis, for the purposes of improving our products and services, and to respond to customer desires and preferences.
To provide personalized experiences and recommendations, language and location customization, personalized help and instructions, or other responses to your and other customers’ usage of our products and services.
To track purchases and usage as necessary for the purpose of our making royalty or other payments to third parties. However, your personally identifiable information will not be transferred to such third parties unless you have been notified in advance and given an opportunity to opt out or cancel.
To provide the application to you, to bill you, to communicate with you concerning your account, and for other customer service, authorization, account history and billing purposes. This may include credit card authorization and verification for purchases made from DoSurfIn, location verification for products and services which may have limited geographical access, and the like.
To offer you content, services, or other products and services.
To ask you to participate in surveys about products and services.
To provide you with news and newsletters, special offers, promotions, and targeted advertising.
To improve our application by providing language and location customization, personalized help and instructions, or other responses to your and other customers’ usage of our application.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to any third party, but we may disclose information about you to third parties acting on our behalf or who are our subsidiaries or affiliates. These third parties may assist DoSurfIn with processing payments, marketing, resolving service problems, and correcting errors related to the execution of its application. However, we do not give these third parties (other than our subsidiaries and affiliates) an independent right to share or use your personal information.
When is information Shared?

Information about our users is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as compatible with the purposes described above, and when we have your permission or as described in this section.

DoSurfIn Subsidiaries: We may share your information with our subsidiaries and affiliates that we own or control but only if those entities are either subject to this Privacy Policy or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Policy.
Contractors and Agents: We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance (including data concerning marketing and promotional programs), processing credit card payments, providing customer service or for other purposes within the ordinary course of business. These third parties have access to the personal information needed to perform their functions on our behalf. We require these companies to agree (1) to provide adequate protections for your personal information that are no less protective than those set out in this Privacy Policy and (2) to use your personal information only for the purposes for which the third party has been engaged by us. We are not liable for the acts or omissions of these third parties, except as provided by applicable law.
Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy online stores, subsidiaries, or other businesses. In such transactions, customer information generally would be one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing privacy policy (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the event that DoSurfIn, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, we will provide notice before customer information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Protection of DoSurfIn and Others: We reserve the right to disclose your personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, judicial proceeding, court order or other legal process; enforce or apply our Terms of Service and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of PopCap, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction purposes. This does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personal information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of this Privacy Policy.

Cookies

Like many websites, we use “cookies” to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer’s hard disk for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies for two purposes. First, we utilize persistent cookies to save your registration ID and login password for future logins to the Services. Second, we utilize session ID cookies to enable certain features of the Services, to better understand how you interact with the Services and to monitor aggregate usage by DoSurfIn Users and web traffic routing on the Services. Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted from your computer when you log off from the Services and then close your browser. Third party advertisers on the Services may also place or read cookies on your browser. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions or functionalities of the Services.

Emailing Via a DoSurfIn Account

As part of the Services, DoSurfIn Subscribers may communicate with DoSurfIn Subscribers and non-registered users through use of their accounts. Where DoSurfIn Subscribers have selected the option of adding one or more email addresses to an online form, the message they create in the corresponding template will be sent from DoSurfIn to those email addresses on their behalf. These email addresses will be stored in the address book the DoSurfIn Subscriber creates and will be used only for the purpose of sending the email communication to the addressee.

Phishing

Identity theft and the practice currently known as “phishing” are of great concern to DoSurfIn. Safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is a top priority. We do not and will not, at any time, request your credit card information, your account ID, login password, or national identification numbers in a non-secure or unsolicited e-mail or telephone communication. For more information about phishing, visit the Federal Trade Commission’s website.

Changing or Deleting Your Information

All Subscribers may review, update, correct or delete the Personal Information in their registration profile by changing the applicable information in their account settings or, for Services that are hosted on a social networking site, by changing the applicable information in their profile page. If you completely delete all such information, then your account may become deactivated. If you would like us to delete your record in our system, please contact us and we will attempt to accommodate your request if we do not have any legal obligation to retain the record. See below for privacy contact information.

Security

DoSurfIn is very concerned with safeguarding your information. We employ administrative, physical and electronic measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access. We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored “personal data” (as defined in applicable state statutes on security breach notification) to you via email or conspicuous posting on the Services in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, insofar as consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.

International Transfer

Your information may be transferred to – and maintained on – computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, DoSurfIn transfers Personal Information to the United States and processes it there and your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

Third-Party Advertising Companies

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our site and on Services. Our system and the third-party advertising technology uses information derived from cookies on your hard drive you use to target advertising. In addition, our advertisers may use other third-party advertising technology to target advertising on other sites. In the course of advertisements being served to you, a unique third-party cookie or cookies may be placed on your computer. Similarly, third-party advertising companies may provide us with pixel tags (also called “clear gifs” or “beacons”) to help manage and optimize our online advertising. Beacons enable us to recognize a browser’s cookie when a browser visits the site on which the beacon is located, and to learn which banner ads bring users to a given site.

DoSurfIn does not provide any personal information to third-party advertising companies. Note, however, that if an advertiser asks DoSurfIn to show an advertisement to users with certain characteristics (for example, women ages 18-24) or a segment of that group (for example, women ages 18-24 who have viewed certain categories of content) and you respond to that advertisement, the third-party advertising company may conclude that you have the characteristics of the audience that they are trying to reach.

Our Policy Toward Children Under 13

The Services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with Personal Information, we will delete such information from our files.
