| PARLO PRIVACY STATEMENT |
|
|
|
|
| Your privacy is important to us. Parlo ("Parlo") has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for the Parlo Web site, with its homepage at http://www.parlo.com. |
|
| What types of personal information does Parlo collect? |
|
| Registration Forms Parlo is the premier destination for language learning and cultural exchange. In order to provide our users with the best possible service, we ask that our users register with us. Parlo's registration forms, including the registration forms for newsletters and email delivered products, require users to provide personal information (such as name and email address) so that we may contact them. Order Forms Our Web site uses an order form for customers to request information, products, and services. We collect personal information (such as name and email addresses) and financial information (such as account or credit card numbers) in order to process the order. Online Surveys/Contests Our online surveys and contests ask users for personal information (such as name and email addresses). Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary. We use personal data from our surveys to send users information about our company. The user's personal information is also used to contact the user when necessary. General Demographic Information Parlo's registration forms, order forms and online surveys and contests also ask users to provide general demographic information (such as zip code, income level and country of origin). In addition, we may collect general information about the pages that are generating the most interest from our users. We use this information to tailor our users' experiences at our site, provide content that we think they might be interested in, and display the content according to their preferences. |

|
| How does Parlo use the information it collects? |
|
| We primarily use the personal information we collect to fulfill information requests, process order requests and ensure that you are receiving the best possible access to our services and products. In addition, we may occasionally send you information about your Parlo account(s). We may also send you service announcements and information about Parlo's service offerings. Partners: We work closely with partners to provide our users with innovative service offerings. In certain cases, when you arrive at Parlo from a partner, some of your information may be shared by the Partner and Parlo. In addition, we share general non-personally identifiable aggregated information with advertisers. Finally, users may opt-in to receive special offers from Parlo's partners (see below). Protection of Parlo users and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Parlo, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Business Transfers: Finally, as we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event that Parlo or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will likely be one of the transferred assets. |

| Internet Protocol (IP) address and Cookies |
|
| An IP address is used to connect your computer to the Internet. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our Web site, and to assess which products and services best meet your needs. In addition, we use IP addresses to gather non-personally identifiable demographic information about our users. Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site sends to your computer while you are viewing the Web site. These pieces of information allow the Web site to remember important information that will make your use of the Web site more useful. For instance, Parlo uses cookies to remember and process the items you have ordered and to remember your password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you access our Web site. Cookies are never accessible by third parties. In fact, web browsers are currently designed to make such sharing impossible. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different, so you should look at your browser's help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won't have access to some of the features that make your Web experience more efficient - like the features mentioned above -- and some of our services will not function properly. |
