Internet Usage, Our Position, and Your Rights

XadBlock™ believes in all Internet users' rights to privacy. XadBlock™ does not engage in any form of distribution or sale of Personally Identifiable Information ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personally_identifiable_information ) to third parties for their promotional use, including but not limited to, names, email/postal addresses, and phone numbers. All information collected by the XadBlock™ Online Advertising Network is not personally identifiable as it relates to consumers.

Furthermore, XadBlock™ believes in all web site publisher and operators' rights to sell advertisements on their web site(s). Many web site publishers place advertisements on their web site in order to support their efforts to bring you (the user), quality content and programming. Much like a magazine you buy on a news stand, the web site linking to this page relies upon this advertising sales to stay in business.

The use of ad blocking technology denies the hard working individuals which publish or operate the web site linking to this page their lawful and rightful opportunity to receive compensation for the content which they have put time and effort into producing. Any attempt to block or prevent the ads on a web site is outside the terms of service for the web site linking to this page. The web sites, network partner, publisher, affiliate, and or advertisers linking to this page employ our technology in order to bring you (the visitor) a better experience and to continue bringing you quality content. We implore you to please support web sites, network partners, publishers, and affiliates linking to this web page by clicking and interacting with the ads presented on the respective web site.

Together we can keep the Internet a good place to build a business, do research, communicate with friends, and publish our own creative works. The practice of selling and delivering ads, offers all of us (user and publishers alike) an opportunity to share in a great online experience while rewarding those who help bring it to us at their own expense.

We use a unique and Patent Pending session tracking technology that is integrated into the web servers and web site(s) linking to this web page, in order to track your experience with the publisher, and advertisers featured in the web page(s) of web sites, network partners, publishers, affiliates, and or advertisers you visit. The web sites, network partner, publisher, affiliate, and or advertisers linking to this page provides standard non-identifying HTTP data and session information back to the XadBlock™ servers.

We use this information transparently on behalf of advertisers to improve your user experience. The information used by XadBlock™ is the same data and information that the web site(s) linking to this page already have regarding your identifying usage information. The web sites, network partner, publisher, affiliate, and or advertisers web servers linking to this page provides this data transparently behind the scenes from their physical server to ours. There is never a point to point transfer or communication between your web browser and XadBlock™ computer systems. All data is passed to our systems by the web sites, network partners, publishers, affiliates, and or advertisers that you visit during your session on the internet at their discretion. The XadBlock™ service utilizes this ambiguous data provided by the web server(s) you visit in order to track and target ads on behalf of advertisers seeking to deliver greater relevance and and improved exerience during your internet session(s).

Note : XadBlock™ computers never write information or connect to your computer(s) directly.

Cookies

The web sites, network partner, publisher, affiliate, and or advertisers linking to this web page allows XadBlock™ Online Advertising Network the use of uses of its web sites domain cookies for the purposes of tracking when an Internet user has seen an advertisement. These cookies do not and will not provide XadBlock™ with any Personally Identifiable information. Instead, these cookies are used to inform the XadBlock™ Online Advertising Network if an advertisement has been served to the same computer before, and if so, when the advertisement was served.

We use both session and persistent cookies on our web site. These are needed for site navigation and aggregate analysis of what is viewed on network partners, publishers, affiliates, and or advertisers web sites.

Opt-Out
Internet users have the option to block the use of cookies by changing an Internet browser setting. In addition, users have the option to block the use of JavaScript, which is used by the XadBlock™ Online Advertising Network to display advertisements.

We will 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 also communicate with user to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to the account via e-mail or telephone when requested.

Collection and Use of Non-Personally Identifiable Information
All information shared with both advertisers and publishers within the XadBlock™ online advertising network is done so in an aggregate fashion. This allows us to provide members of the advertising network with broad percentages regarding the users who are receiving advertisements through the network. However, this data is not linked to any form of Personally Identifiable information.

Information collected by advertisers on their web sites who are members of the XadBlock™ online advertising network may contain Personally Identifiable information. However, data such as this is provided by the individual Internet user in the form of online order forms, contests, or otherwise through the members web site, not XadBlock.com. This Personally Identifiable information collected outside the XadBlock™ Online Advertising Network is subject to the privacy policies of the individual advertisers involved.

The XadBlock™ Online Advertising Network prides itself on providing an atmosphere that is non-disruptive to Internet users. Our proprietary targeting methodologies enable advertisers to effectively target their campaigns to the audience(s) they are looking to reach without engaging in profiling practices, which invade the privacy of Internet users.

Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Collection and Use of Personally Identifiable Information
Registering to become a member of the XadBlock™ online advertising network, either as an advertiser or a publisher, requires the submission of Personally Identifiable information to our company. This can include your full name, mailing and/or billing address, email address, company name, and web site URL. We use this information to service your accounts and respond to inquiries. Communications to our business users are related to the Advertising Network. We hold all such information submitted in strict confidence. Under no circumstances will a user's email address, mailing address, phone number, or other Personally Identifiable information be sold to, supplied to, or otherwise made available to any third party. For registered members to update or correct their personal information reach us through the "Contact Us" page.

Security
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Many of the Web sites and online services we offer, provide services for, as well as those of our partners, are supported by advertising. Through the XadBlock™ Advertising Platform, we may display ads on our own sites and the sites of our advertising partners.

When we display online advertisements to you, we will place a local site specific cookie on your computer in order to recognize your computer each time we display an ad to you. Because we may serve advertisements on many different Web sites, we are able to compile information over time about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw and/or clicked on the web sites we provide ads on. We use this information to make predictions about your characteristics, interests or preferences and to display targeted advertisements that we believe may be of interest to you. We may also associate this information with your subsequent visit, purchase or other activity on participating advertisers’ Web sites in order to determine the effectiveness of the advertisements.

While we may use some of the information we collect in order to personalize the ads we show you, we designed our systems to select ads based only on data that does not personally and directly identify you. For example, we may select the ads we display according to certain general interest categories or segments that we have inferred based on (a) demographic or interest data, including any you may have provided when creating an account (e.g. age, zip or postal code, gender), demographic or interest data acquired from other companies, and a general geographic location derived from your IP address, (b) the pages you view and links you click when using XadBlock’s and its advertising partners’ Web sites and services, and (c) the search terms you enter when using XadBlock’s powered web sites.

When we display personalized ads, we take a number of steps designed to protect your privacy. For example, we store page views, clicks and search terms used for ad personalization separately from your contact information or other data that directly identifies you (such as your name, e-mail address, etc.). Further, we have built in technological and process safeguards designed to prevent the unauthorized correlation of this data. We also give you the ability to opt-out of personalized ads via the link at the top of this page.
