Information Collection and Use

Information Collection

[ ezinearticlesbase.com ] is the sole owner of the information collected on [ ezinearticlesbase.com ]. [ ezinearticlesbase.com ] collects information from its users at several different points on this website.

Registration

In order to advertise on this website, a user must first create a free account. During registration, a user is required to provide contact information (such as name and email address). We use this information to send requested email notifications to our customers for important announcements or to fix account-related problems, such as payment issues.

Order

All payments and refunds are processed by an outsourced credit card processing service, that is, Stripe. Transactions are processed on their website, and absolutely no credit card information is stored on our end.

Information Use

Profile

We store information that we collect through cookies and dynamic pages to create a user’s profile. A profile is stored information that we keep on individual users that detail their viewing preferences. Consequently, collected information is tied to the users’ personal identification information to provide offers and improve the content of the site for the user. This profile is used to tailor a user’s visit to our website. We do not share user profile informations with third parties.

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer containing information about the user. We use cookies to remember your username and password. Passwords are encrypted with the “md5” cryptographic algorithm. We do not share your cookies with third parties.

Log Files

Like most standard website servers, we use log files. These record 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 movements and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personnal indentification information. We use a tracking utility called Google Analytics to analyze user movement.

Password Encryption

Passwords are encrypted with the “md5” cryptographic algorithm. Thus, passwords are case sensitive and are visible neither by us nor by your account administrators. This puts the security of your data at a very high level. Should you forget your password, you will have to use the “Forgot Password?” link to enter a new one, since it cannot be retrieved.

Communication from the Site

We do not share user email addresses with third parties and we do not spam.

Special Offers and Updates

We send all new members a welcome message to verify their email addresses. Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, it is possible to opt out these types of communications.

Service Announcements

On rare occasions it may be necessary to send out a strictly service-related announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send users an email or put an alert on the login page. Although users may not opt out of these communications, they can deactivate their account.

Customer Service

We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account. We reply via email or phone, in accordance with the user’s wishes.

Email Notification

Users may decide to receive email notifications on the following occasions: when they get outbid and when their account balance reaches a user-defined threshold or reaches zero. You may also receive weekly ad performance statistics, upon request.

Sharing

Legal Disclaimer

Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our website.

Below are the instances in which we will share user personal information.

Business Transitions

In the event that [ ezinearticlesbase.com ] goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, user’ personal information would, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. In such circumstances, users would be notified via email, a prominent notice would be placed on our website for 30 days, prior to the change of ownership or control of their personal information. If, as a result of the business transition, a user’s personal identification information is to be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, the user will have the prerogative to accept or refuse these changes, as per the Notification of Changes section below.

While on a secure page, such as the Stripe order form, the lock icon located at the bottom of web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox, will appear locked, as opposed to unlocked when users are just ‘surfing’.
