3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT
gps-reviews-online.com collects certain information from and
about its users three ways: directly from our Web Server logs, the user, and

administer the site and analyze its usage. Examples of information we may track
include:
• Your Internet protocol address.
• The kind of browser or computer you use.
• Number of links you click within the site.
• State or country from which you accessed the site.

b. Use of Cookies
gps-reviews-online.com may use cookies to personalize or
enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on
your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or
deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can
only be read by a Web Server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a
convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web
page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your
specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process
of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and
saving your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized
functionality..
gps-reviews-online.com reserves the right to share
aggregated site statistics with partner companies, but does not allow other
companies to place cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding
customer value (such as merging into gps-reviews-online.com.com a site that
relies on third-party cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web
browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser
settings then be aware that this may disable some of the functionality on our
Website.
c. Personal Information Users
Visitors to our website can register to purchase services.
When you register, we will request some personal information such as name,
address, email, telephone number or facsimile number, account number and other
relevant information. If you are purchasing a service, we will request
financial information. Any financial information we collect is used only to
bill you for the services you purchased. If you purchase by credit card, this
information may be forwarded to your credit card provider. For other types of
registrations, we will ask for the relevant information. You may also be asked
to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide assistance and
information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in order to provide
online technical support and troubleshooting.
We will not disclose personally identifiable information we
collect from you to third parties without your permission except to the extent
necessary including:
* To fulfill your service requests for services.
* To protect ourselves from liability,
* To respond to legal process or comply with law, or
* In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation
of the company.
4. USE OF WEB BEACONS OR GIF FILES
gps-reviews-online.com Web pages may contain electronic
images known as Web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that
allow gps-reviews-online.com to count users who have visited those pages and to
deliver co-branded services. gps-reviews-online.com may include Web beacons in
promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether
messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party
service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising
campaigns or email communications. These Web beacons may be used by these
service providers to place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows
the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain
pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page
views, which in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which
advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you use the site. gps-reviews-online.com
prohibits Web beacons from being used to collect or access your personal
information.
5. CHANGES TO THIS STATEMENT
gps-reviews-online.com has the discretion to occasionally update this privacy statement. When we do, we will also revise the “updated” date at the top of this Privacy page. We encourage you to periodically review this privacy statement to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. Your continued use of the service constitutes your agreement to this privacy statement and any updates.
