Citi
Keys Privacy Policy
Your privacy is very important to us. We want to make your experience on the
Internet as enjoyable and rewarding as possible, and we want you to use the
Internet’s vast array of information, tools, and opportunities with complete confidence.
Citi Keys has created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to
privacy and security. This Privacy Policy describes how Citi Keys collects
information from users of Citi Keys services (the “Services”), how we use the
information we collect and the choices you have concerning the collection and
use of such information. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.
Collection and Use of Information
Members are asked to provide certain information when they sign up for our
Services such as name, address, telephone number, billing information (such as
a credit card number), and the type of personal computer being used to access
the Services. The personal information collected from Members during the
registration process is used to manage each Member’s account (such as billing
and collections).
In order to better understand its Members, Citi Keys collects consumer data
such as ZIP code, demographics and other publicly available information from
third-parties. Citi Keys uses this data to provide product and service offers.
We use data in aggregate to develop products and offers to better serve its
Members.
Citi Keys collects information from Visitors and Members who use the various
parts of our Services. We use this information primarily to provide a
customized experience as you use our Services. Citi Keys collects consumer
information about its Members through surveys or preference pages
Citi Keys may share personal information with select affiliates in order to
provide Citi Keys services to our Members. Citi Keys does not share identifying
information (like Name and address) with affiliates for their use in delivering
product and service offers to Members. Affiliates will not be allowed to use
any information provided in serving our customers to be sold, rented, or given
to any other company. Affiliates are not allowed to use Citi Keys data for any
other purpose other than Citi Keys approved programs designed to better serve
Members.
In instances where Citi Keys and an affiliate jointly promote the Services,
Citi Keys may provide the affiliate certain personal information, as a result
of the joint promotion. In this instance, the information may not be used by
the affiliate for any other purpose. Citi Keys may also generate aggregate
profiles from information provided during registration (such as the total
number, but not the names, of Members). We may use this aggregated and
non-identifying information to sell advertisements that appear on the Services.
We use registration information to contact you in a variety of ways. We may
send you offers through email, phone or regular mail of Citi Keys products and
services or offers on behalf of selected affiliates. If you order products
directly from Citi Keys, we will use your information to continue to provide
you products that you are interested in.
Citi
Keys Affiliates and Sponsors
Some Citi Keys products and services are offered to Members in conjunction with
a third-party vendor. For example, we outsource the provision of stock quotes
and operation of your stock portfolio (accessible through your Personal Start
Page) to a third-party vendor. To provide these products and services, the
vendor may need to collect and maintain your personal information.
Additionally, many Citi Keys Members have co-branded Personal Start Pages that
are cosponsored by non-affiliated partners. Citi Keys may share non-identifying
and aggregate consumer information with such affiliates in order to more
effectively market our co-branded products or services offered to our
customers.
Online Shopping
At some web sites, you can purchase products and services or register to
receive materials, such as a catalog or new product and service updates. In
many cases, you may be asked to provide contact information, such as your name,
address, email address, phone number, and credit/debit card information. If you
complete an order for someone else, such as an online gift order sent directly
to a recipient, you may be asked to provide information about the recipient, such
as the recipient’s name, address, and phone number. Citi Keys has no control
over third-party web sites and their use of any personal information you
provide when placing such an order. Please exercise care when doing so.
Online Advertisements
Citi Keys may share aggregated and non-identifying information about our
Visitors and Members collected through the registration process as well as
through online surveys and promotions with select advertisers. In some
instances, we use this information to deliver tailored advertisements. Based
upon the information we have collected, we may then display advertisements to
specific audiences. Citi Keys does not share personal information about its
Members with these advertisers.
Voluntary Surveys
We may periodically conduct both business and individual surveys. We encourage
Members to participate in these voluntary surveys because they provide us with
important information that helps us to improve the types of services we offer
and how we provide them to you. Your personal information and responses will
remain confidential, even if the survey is conducted by a third-party.
We take the information we receive from individuals responding to our surveys
and combine (or aggregate) it with the responses of other Members to create
broader, generic responses to the survey questions (such as gender, age,
residence, hobbies, education, employment, industry sector, or other
demographic information). We then use the aggregated information to improve the
quality of our services to you, and to develop new services and products. This
aggregated, non-personally identifying information may be shared with
third-party affiliates.
Special Cases
It is Citi Keys’s policy not to use or share the personal information in ways
unrelated to the ones described above without also providing an opportunity to
opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. However, Citi Keys may
disclose personal information or information regarding use of the Services if,
for any reason, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to do
so, including: to satisfy laws, regulations or other legal requests for such
information; to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact or
bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Acceptable Use
Policy or other policies; to operate the Services properly; or to protect Citi
Keys, our Services, our employees or our Members.
"Cookies" and How Citi Keys Uses Them
A “cookie” is a small data file that can be placed on your hard drive when you
visit certain Web sites. Citi Keys may use cookies to collect, store, and
sometimes track information for statistical purposes to operate and improve the
products and services we provide and to manage our network and property. If you
have created your own Personal Start Page, we will use a cookie to save your
settings and to provide customizable and personalized services. Additionally,
be aware that if you visit non-Citi Keys web sites where you are prompted to
log in or that are customizable, you may be required to accept cookies.
Advertisers and partners may also use their own cookies. We do not control use
of these cookies and expressly disclaim responsibility for information
collected through them.
Citi Keys's Commitment to Children's Privacy
Protecting children’s privacy is especially important to us. It is our policy
to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and other
applicable laws. You must be 18 to use the Services. Citi Keys does not attempt
to ask or collect information from any person under the age of 18.
Citi Keys may have products and web pages designed especially for younger users
under the direct supervision of an adult Member. While we make every effort to
ensure that these Services are fun and age-appropriate for a younger audience,
we believe that there is no substitute for proper parental supervision. Citi
Keys recommends that children ask a parent for permission before sending any
personal information anywhere using the Internet.
Public Forums
Any information that you disclose in public areas of our Web sites or the
Internet may become public information. You should exercise caution when
deciding to disclose personal information in these areas.
Citi Keys's Commitment to Data Security
Citi Keys has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and
alteration of the information under our control. While we make every effort to
ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot
guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party “hackers” from
illegally obtaining this information. We will never sell your information to a
third party.
How to Access or Modify Your Information
Citi Keys offers Members the opportunity to access or modify information provided
during registration.
Revisions to This Policy
Citi Keys reserves the right to revise, amend, or modify this policy and our
other policies and agreements at any time and in any manner. Any revision, amendment,
or modification will be posted on our web site: www.CitiKeys.net.
