Best Booty of the World PRIVACY POLICY
LAST MODIFIED: May 15, 2011
The Company (defined below) has created this Privacy Policy in order to disclose
our information gathering and dissemination practices. By visiting our website
("Website"), you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of your Personal Information (defined
below) that we collect when you register for our Website, enter any sweepstakes
or contests that may be available at the Website (collectively, "Promotions")
and/or otherwise agree to receive e-mail marketing from us. It is important that
visitors are fully informed about the use of their Personal Information. We
believe in 100% perBestion-based marketing. If you are a resident of the State
of California and would like to opt-out from the disclosure of your Personal
Information to any third party for marketing purposes, please e-mail us at:
unsubscribe@bestbootyoftheworld.com. Please be advised that where California
residents opt-out from permitting their Personal Information to be shared, such
individuals may still receive selected offers directly from us, in accordance
with the law. If you are a resident of any other state, you may also opt-out
from the disclosure of your Personal Information to any third party for
marketing purposes by e-mailing us at:
unsubscribe@bestbootyoftheworld.com. Please be advised that where non-California
residents opt-out from permitting their Personal Information to be shared, such
individuals may still receive selected offers directly from us, in accordance
with the law. For purposes hereof, the use of the terms “Company”, "we" or "us"
means The Best Booty Contest, LLC.
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM YOU:
By registering with us, users also provide perBestion to receive marketing
offers, and allow us and our affiliates to make your personal information
available to third parties in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Further, when you register with us, you acknowledge that you want to receive
third party offers from us, and authorize us to share your personal information
with third parties who may send to you by email or otherwise (described below)
offers for products or services in which you may have an interest. While on the
Website, we may collect "Personal Information" from you. For the purposes of
this Privacy Policy, Personal Information shall mean individually identifiable
information from or about an individual including, but not limited to: (a) a
first and last name; (b) mailing or physical address, including street name and
name of city or town; (c) an e-mail address; (d) a telephone number; and/or (e)
any other information from or about an individual that is combined with any of
(a) through (d) above. To the extent that user credit card-specific information
may be collected by us in the future, said information will be kept in
confidence and will not be shared with any third parties (other than consumer
credit agencies or third parties in order to process a purchase of goods and/or
services) without the user's prior informed consent. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, we reserve the right to share with third parties the fact that we
have credit card information on file for specific users but we will not share
the specific credit card information with third parties without the user's prior
informed consent.
HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION:
You understand and agree that our advertising relationships allow us to make the
Website, Promotions and prizes available to you. Accordingly, the information
that you submit to us remains your property, but by registering with us, you
grant us the right to use such information for multiple marketing purposes,
including, but not limited to, sharing such information with third parties. The
Company may use such information to (i) directly market certain offers to you
via e-mail marketing, telemarketing, direct mail, mobile telephone text
messaging (including, without limitation, SMS and/or MMS) and other methods,
(ii) to monitor compliance with our Terms and Conditions, and (iii) for content
improvement and feedback purposes. We may sell the personal information that you
supply to us and we may join together with other third party businesses to bring
selected retail opportunities to you. These businesses may include, but are not
limited to, providers of online, e-mail, telemarketing, mobile phone text
messaging and direct mail marketing services and applications. Such services and
applications may include, but not be limited to, lookup and reference, data
enhancement, overlay, appending, suppression and validation.
We will also use your Personal Information for customer service, to provide you
with information that you may request, to provide you with information regarding
new services or Promotions available at the Website, to customize your
experience on the Website and/or to contact you when necessary in connection
with transactions entered into by you on the Website. We may also use your
Personal Information for internal business purposes, such as analyzing and
managing our business. We may also combine the information we have gathered
about you with information from other sources. We may use third parties to help
us operate our business and the Website or to administer activities on our
behalf. We also reserve the right to release current or past user information in
the event that: (i) we believe that the user is using, or has used, our
products, services and/or Website: (a) in violation of the Terms and Conditions,
this Privacy Policy or any other of our operating rules, official contest rules,
policies, price schedules and other supplemental terms and conditions or
documents that may be published by us from time to time; and/or (b) to commit
unlawful acts; (ii) if such information is subpoenaed; (iii) if we are sold or
acquired; (iv) or when we deem it necessary or appropriate including, without
limitation, sharing your e-mail address with third parties for suppression
purposes in compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, as amended from time to
time, and Federal Trade ComBestion implementing regulations. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, we reserve the right to share, sell, rent,
lease and/or otherwise distribute any and all personal information with/to any
third party for any and all uses permitted by this Privacy Policy and applicable
law. In addition, by registering at the Website, you agree that such act
constitutes an inquiry and/or application for purposes of the Amended
Telemarketing Sales Rule (16 CFR § 310 et seq.), as amended from time to time
(the "ATSR") and applicable state do-not-call regulations. Notwithstanding that
your telephone number may be listed on the Federal Trade ComBestion's
Do-Not-Call List, and/or on applicable state do-not-call lists, we retain the
right to contact you via telemarketing in accordance with the ATSR and the
applicable state do-not-call regulations. You may unsubscribe from any of our
e-mail marketing programs at any time. In every e-mail communication that we
send, there is an unsubscribe hyperlink that allows the recipient to unsubscribe
from the specific marketing program by simply clicking the hyperlink provided
and following the instructions that follow. We attempt to process all
unsubscribe requests in a prompt fashion. However, after unsubscribing, we
cannot guarantee that you will never receive another mailing from us, because we
may obtain your e-mail address in the future through a different e-mail
marketing program that you have opted into. However, if you should ever receive
another e-mail communication from us, you will be able to remove your e-mail
address via the unsubscribe hyperlink contained in the subject e-mail message.
We are able to offer our services, in part, based upon the willingness of our
users to be contacted by our marketing partners, including affiliated third
party advertisers. By allowing us to make the information that you supply
available to our marketing partners, you will receive product and service
information that may be of interest to you. You may, at any time, notify us that
you do not wish to have your Personal Information disclosed to third parties for
offers and Promotions by sending an e-mail to
unsubscribe@bestbootyoftheworld.com.
By registering for our site, you are indicating that you have read and agree to
this Privacy Policy and of its all terms and conditions, and you further
acknowledge and agree that you understand how and under what circumstances the
personal information you provide will be used. You also agree to receive
marketing promotions and other solicitations from this website, its advertising
partners and/or other third party advertisers (collectively, "Website Sponsors")
based on the information you provide on this website, and expressly agree to be
contacted by this website and any such Website Sponsors through direct mail,
phone, pre-recorded message, SMS text and/or email.
HOW WE USE DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION & AGGREGATE DATA:
We may use demographic information to tailor the Website to the interests of our
users. Demographic information is shared with third-party advertisers so that
they can tailor their advertisements to the appropriate audience. Demographic
information may also be shared with other third parties in accordance with the
terms of this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to provide aggregate or group
data about our users for lawful purposes. Aggregate or group data is data that
describes the demographics, usage or characteristics of our participants as a
group, without disclosing personally identifiable information. By registering
with us, you agree to allow us to provide such aggregate data to third parties.
By agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy, you hereby consent to the
disclosure of any record or communication to any third party when we, in our
sole discretion, determine the disclosure to be appropriate.
YOUR IP ADDRESS:
Each time that you visit the Website, our web server automatically recognizes
your IP address and the web page from which you came. Your IP address is used to
help identify you and to gather broad demographic information about you. We also
use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our servers, to administer
the Website and to better serve you in using the services and other features
contained within the Website.
COOKIES & ACTION TAGS:
When a user provides an e-mail address during registration at the Website, we
assign an identification number to that e-mail address and deploy a cookie to
the applicable user's PC. Whenever that user comes back to the Website using the
same PC, the cookie allows the Website to identify the user and to recall the
user's e-mail address. Other registration information provided by a user during
registration (such as name, address, etc.), may be stored along with the user's
e-mail address, in our user database. We may use the information stored in our
database: (i) to effectuate the purpose or transaction for which the information
was originally provided by a user; (ii) to pre-populate information fields in
the event a user wishes to purchase products and/or services or sign up for
and/or subscribe to services, Promotions or other offers in the future; (iii) to
ensure that a user will not be repeatedly exposed to the same advertisements,
offers and/or Promotions while visiting the Website; and/or (iv) to, in
connection with regular communication with a user, include offers, Promotions or
advertisements that were historically, or are likely to be, of interest to that
user. We also use cookies to anonymously track and target the interests of our
users to further enhance the experience on the Website. To find out more about
cookies, including how to disable and/or remove cookies, please visit
www.cookiecentral.com. An action tag or a web-beacon (also known as a clear gif
or a pixel tag) is a method used to track responses or actions by visitors who
view certain advertisements or other information on the Website. Action tags are
1x1 pixel images embedded in a website page that are used to transparently
collect information. We may use action tags to count the number of times that
visitors click on a particular banner ad or visit the pages of the Website and
to provide information about what products are viewed or purchased. We reserve
the right to retain this cookie and action tag data indefinitely. At no time
will we share cookie-related, action-tag-related and/or generated information or
data with third parties.
THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES:
Please be aware that the Website may contain links to other websites on the
Internet that are owned and/or operated by third parties. Such websites have
their own privacy policies and data collection, use and disclosure practices.
Please review each applicable website's privacy policy. We do not endorse, nor
are we responsible for, the accuracy of the privacy polices and/or terms and
conditions of each of the advertisers' and/or third parties' websites accessible
through this Website. The entities that advertise and/or place banner ads on the
Website are independent third parties and are not affiliated with us. The
information practices of those websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy.
These other websites may send their own cookies to users, collect data or
solicit Personal Information. Additionally, other companies that place
advertising on our Website may collect information about you when you view or
click on their advertising through the use of cookies. We cannot control this
collection of information. You should contact these advertisers directly if you
have any questions about their use of the information that they collect.
SECURITY:
We endeavor to safeguard and protect our users' information. When users submit
information at the Website, their information is protected both online and
offline. The privacy of your Personal Information is very important to us. When
our registration process asks users to submit sensitive information (such as
credit card numbers), and when we transmit such sensitive information, that
information is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption software. While we
use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also protect user
information offline. The servers that we store personally identifiable
information in are kept in a secure physical environment. We have security
measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of personal
information under our control. Please be advised that, although we take every
reasonable precaution available to protect your data, no data transBestion over
the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot warrant
that your information will be absolutely secure. Any transBestion of data at or
through our Website is at your own risk. However, access to your information is
strictly limited, and not accessible to the public. All of our users'
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted
in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific
job are granted access to personal information. Our employees are dedicated to
ensuring the security and privacy of all user information. Employees not
adhering to our firm policies are subject to disciplinary action. In compliance
with applicable federal and state laws, we shall notify you and any applicable
regulatory agencies in the event that we learn of an information security breach
with respect to your Personal Information. You will be notified via e-mail in
the event of such a breach. Please be advised that notice may be delayed in
order to address the needs of law enforcement, determine the scope of network
damage, and to engage in remedial measures.
MINORS:
Individuals under the age of eighteen (18) are not permitted to register for or
participate in any of the Promotions that we offer. No information should be
submitted to, or posted at the Website by individuals under the age of eighteen
(18) without the prior consent of their parent or guardian. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, children thirteen (13) years of age and younger are not permitted to
access the Website and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from
such children. We encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with
their children and to participate and monitor the interactive activities of
their children.
REMOVAL OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION/OPTING OUT:
At your request, we will remove from our database Personal Information that you
have provided to us. You may do so by sending an e-mail to
unsubscribe@bestbootyoftheworld.com. However, deleting your Personal Information
or otherwise opting-out of receipt of communications from us or third parties
will only change or delete the data in our database for purposes of transacting
future business on the Website and for managing future communications received
from us. These deletions will not change or delete Personal Information already
collected as part of a particular transaction in our database, which may have
already been shared with third parties, all as provided above in this Privacy
Policy. You will need to contact third parties who may contact you directly to
change your preferences or your Personal Information that they may be using to
contact you.
We provide users with the option to opt-out from receiving information sent via
electronic mailings on behalf of third party advertisers. Users may unsubscribe
from receiving e-mails at any time by following the instructions contained at
the end of every e-mailing. Unsubscribe requests can only be processed if you
have registered with us in the first instance. If you have not registered with
us and wish to opt out of receiving e-mails from a particular sender, please
consult that sender's opt out policies or contact that sender.
Information sent on behalf of third party advertisers is prepared several days
in advance, so users may continue to receive e-mail from us for up to ten (10)
days following the receipt of an unsubscribe request. If, after that point, a
user is still receiving e-mail from us, the user should contact us at
customerservice@bestbootyoftheworld.com.

Policy at any time. All Privacy Policy changes will take effect immediately upon
their posting on the Website. Please check this page periodically for changes.
Your continued use of the Website or acceptance of our e-mails following the
