This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for gottaDEAL.net

Questions regarding privacy issues should be directed to gottaDEAL.net� at info@gottadeal.net.

Collection and Use of Information
The information gathered by gottaDEAL.net� falls into two categories: (1) information voluntarily supplied by visitors to our Web site through optional membership registration or other means such as registration for an online contest or sweepstakes and E-commerce transactions, and (2) tracking information gathered as visitors navigate through our site. Third party service providers on or linked to by our Web site, such as vendors of products and services offered through our sites, may be gathering the same kinds of information.

A Note about Children's Online Privacy: Children are welcome to visit gottaDEAL.net�, but we have neither a children's area nor any information likely to be of special interest to children. Children should always get permission from their parents before sending any information about themselves (such as their names, email addresses, and phone numbers) over the Internet, to us or to anyone else. We won't knowingly allow anyone under 18 to register with gottaDEAL.net�, to otherwise provide personally-identifiable information, or to access those features that require registration.

Membership Registration: To make use of certain features on our Web sites (such as coupon emails) a visitor needs to register as a gottaDEAL.net� member and to provide certain information as part of the registration process. The membership registration form asks the visitor for his or her name, age range, address, zip code, email address, general demographic information, and email category preferences. If the visitor does not wish to provide his or her name or address, or answer demographic questions, then these fields may be left blank. The information you supply will help us to offer you more personalized features, and to tailor our site to your interests and make it more useful to you. The more you tell us about yourself, the more value we can offer you. Supplying such information is entirely voluntary. But if you don't supply the information we need, we may be unable to provide you with services we make available to other visitors to our sites. For example, we can't offer you personalized coupons or maps and driving directions to local businesses if you don't tell us where you live. And we can't send you email alerting you to a new service we're offering if you don't tell us what you're interested in and give us your email address. Similarly, we can't notify you that you've been lucky enough to win a prize in a promotional contest if we don't know how to contact you. Of course, even if you want to remain completely anonymous, you're still free to take advantage of the wealth of information and other content available on our site without registration. The demographic information collected on gottaDEAL.net� is used internally for marketing and planning purposes. At times, gottaDEAL.net� may summarize the demographic information it collects for use in aggregate form for marketing and promotional purposes and share this aggregated information with third parties.

Email Newsletter:
When you register as a member or participate in a special promotion or contest on gottaDEAL.net� you may be asked whether you would like to receive the gottaDEAL.net� email newsletter. The newsletter notifies interested gottaDEAL.net� visitors of new coupons available on gottaDEAL.net� and occasionally provides notice of special events. Only visitors who explicitly "opt-in" will receive our email newsletter. If you do not wish to receive the gottaDEAL.net� email newsletter, simply "opt-out.

Cookies
To help make our sites more responsive to the needs of our visitors, we invoke a standard feature of browser software, called a "cookie," to assign each visitor a unique, random number, a sort of user ID that resides on your computer. The cookie doesn't actually identify the visitor, just the computer that a visitor uses to access our site. Unless you voluntarily identify yourself (through registration, for example), we won't know who you are, even if we assign a cookie to your computer. The only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply. A cookie can't read unrelated data off your hard drive. We use cookies to help us tailor our site to your needs, to deliver a better, more personalized service. It is a cookie, for example, that allows us to deliver your personalized coupons, including driving directions and maps to direct you to local businesses. With cookies, we save you time because you don't need to re-enter information you've already entered, even if you have not visited gottaDEAL.net� for a while. And we use cookies to avoid showing you the same ad repeatedly during a single visit. In addition, we may use cookies to track the pages on our sites visited by our users. We can build a better site if we know which pages our users are visiting and how often. Of course, you can set your browser not to accept cookies, but if you do, you may not be able to take advantage of the personalized features enjoyed by other visitors to gottaDEAL.net

IP Addresses:
Our web server automatically collects limited information about your computer's connection to the Internet, including your IP address, when you visit gottaDEAL.net�. (Your IP address is a number that lets computers attached to the Internet know where to send you data -- such as the web pages you view.) Your IP address does not identify you personally. We use this information to deliver our web pages to you upon request, to tailor our site to the interests of our users, and to measure traffic within our site.

Advertisers:
When we present information to our advertisers - to help them understand our audience and confirm the value of advertising on our Web site - it is in the form of aggregated statistics on traffic to various pages within our sites. Occasionally, we may share personally identifiable information with companies whose products and services we believe may be of interest to you. Please indicate on the registration form if you'd prefer we not share such information with them. If you so indicate on the appropriate registration form, we won't share information about you with anyone other than those identified when the information is collected. If you want to change your election (or to review, update, or delete the information you provided on registering), click to http://www.gottaDEAL.net, enter the changes you want to make, and re-submit the form. Sometimes, we might also contact you directly about our own or our advertisers' products and services. If you'd prefer that we not do so, just indicate on your registration form that you prefer not to receive offers and information. And remember, you can always change your registration information by following the instructions previously stated in this Paragraph. All information gathered on our site is stored within a gottaDEAL.net� controlled database accessible only to gottaDEAL.net�. However, as effective as any security measure implemented by gottaDEAL.net� may be, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that information you supply won't be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet.

A final note: The Web is an evolving medium. If we need to change our privacy policy at some point in the future, we'll post the changes before they take effect. Our use of information gathered while the current policy is in effect will always be consistent with the current policy, even if we change that policy later.

If you have any questions about the gottaDEAL.net� Privacy Policy,
please contact us.
