SeniorSite.com seeks to create an engaging environment where members have the opportunity to become informed, to be entertained, to learn about each other, and to find products and services of interest to them. We seek to create an environment where members will be producers and contributors, one where they take an active role in shaping content on the site. We feel strongly that our environment offers little value if members do not feel a sense of security and safety while here.

1. What personal information does SeniorSite.com collect? Why?
When you register to be a member or subscribe to one or more of our newsletters, SeniorSite asks for your name and/or e-mail address. This information allows us to help members and subscribers recover information about their account should it be forgotten and to send information about products and services we think our members will find valuable.

Additionally, we may ask for personal information when you enter a sweepstakes, contest or other promotion; order merchandise from our shop; request free samples that may be offered from time to time; post a personals ad; utilize our services or the services of content providers featured on our site.

We may also collect various pieces of visitor information to track the use of the SeniorSite.com site and to improve our visitors' online experience. This information might include the visitor's domain name or IP address, and the visitor's browser and platform type. This helps SeniorSite.com to provide the best information in the best format.

SeniorSite uses a standard Internet technology called "cookies" to store and track visitor information. A cookie is a small text file that a server can automatically store on your computer and retrieve later. Cookies allow us to count the number of unique visitors to the site to measure traffic patterns, personalize a visitor's experience and facilitate the login process for registered members. If you do not wish to have your browser accept cookies, the "Help" section of most browsers has instructions for disabling cookies and/or requesting that the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie. Note: certain sections and functions throughout the SeniorSite.com Website require cookies to be enabled in your browser in order to work or function properly. If you disable cookies you will receive an error message in your browser.

In the course of serving advertisements onto SeniorSite.com, any third-party advertising partner, may also place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser. Information about your visit to SeniorSite.com, such as number of times you have viewed an ad (but not your name, address, or other personal information), is used to serve ads to you.

Definition of Cookie

Cookie
A tiny file that a Web site (like SeniorSite.com) sends to your browser which then saves the file to your computer. The next time you visit that Web site it asks your browser for the cookie so it can tell who you are. This allows Web sites to count the number of unique visitors they have and deliver content that matches your personal interests. Cookies may also be used to remember who you are thereby allowing you instant access to password protected member areas without you having to log-in/sign-in.

Cookies are files that can be deleted but if you visit a Web site regularly cookies will typically enhance your experience. If you delete a cookie for a particular site and then revisit that site it will write a new cookie.

Not all web sites write cookies. Depending on how your browser is configured it will accept cookies automatically, reject them or ask you to accept them. You can control what your browser does by changing its configuration in the preferences, setup, or configuration area.

2. Does SeniorSite.com share this information with anyone?
SeniorSite believes that its members and users and the information they have provided to SeniorSite are important to its business. SeniorSite does not share that information with unaffiliated third parties except as set forth below.

Some of our services or promotions are offered through an affiliation with another company in what we call a "co-branded" area of our site or through a co-sponsored promotion, and visitor information may be shared with those partners and/or sponsors. For example, if you request information about or from our partners or sponsors, or visit a co-branded or sponsor-specific area of the site, you give SeniorSite permission to provide information about you (such as your e-mail address) to the partner or sponsor.

Additionally, in the event that the operation and control of SeniorSite.com is transferred to another entity, or if SeniorSite Inc. is, or substantially all of its assets are, acquired, customer information will be one of the transferred assets.

We may also combine demographic information about you with similar information about other users and share such aggregated, non-personally identifiable demographic information with our advertisers, sponsors and other business partners.

Finally, we must reserve the right to disclose personal information if required by law enforcement, judicial or other governmental authorities.

Other than as described as above, SeniorSite does not offer, give or sell personal information given to us by members, subscribers or users to a third party (other than our sponsors as described below) without individual member, subscriber or user consent. All members remain free to request anonymity at any time when participating in community areas. We do not show a member or subscriber's information to other participants unless the member or subscriber specifically authorizes us to release such information.

3. Can members and subscribers opt out of having their information shared? How?
SeniorSite members may visit Member Preferences to designate whether they would like to share their e-mail addresses with other members by clicking on the appropriate button.

4. How can members and subscribers update the personal information they have shared with SeniorSite.com?
Members should visit Member Preferences to update or change the personal information they provided upon registration. Specific changes in the settings of various member areas, such as Forums, must be made in the "Preferences" areas of those specific tools.

5. Can member and subscriber information be removed from SeniorSite.com? How?
Any member or Newsletter subscriber may have his or her account deleted by sending an e-mail to support@SeniorSite.com with this request.

6. Tell me about the ads on SeniorSite.com. Do those ads place cookies on my computer? What information do those cookies collect?
The ads appearing on SeniorSite.com are delivered by SeniorSite.com. Information about your visit to SeniorSite.com, such as number of times you have viewed an ad (but not your name, address, or other personal information), is used to serve ads to you.

Please remember that any information (including personal and medical information) that you reveal in a SeniorSite public forum (such as a bulletin board, mail list, chat room/event) is not protected by this Privacy Policy. Such postings will be seen by third parties not related to SeniorSite. What you've written could be used by others in ways we are unable to control or predict, including to contact you for unauthorized purposes. Also, if you access a third party site from a link on SeniorSite, any information you reveal on that site is not subject to this Privacy Policy. You should consult the privacy policies of each site you visit.

A Commitment to Our Community
As a company we are committed to keeping individual and community interests as our main focus, and we strive to maintain confidentiality of the information our users provide to us. We only ask for information that will help us to provide specific and valuable services. All members remain free to request anonymity at any time, even when participating in forums, chat, etc. Please remember that information displayed in chat rooms, forums and other community areas becomes public, so exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information in those areas.

We'd like to underscore that we encourage you to familiarize yourself with this policy and our Terms of Service, which may change from time to time due to the dynamic nature of the Internet.

If you find resources you think we or our members should be aware of, please don't hesitate to bring them to our attention by sending ideas to privacy@seniorsite.com.
