This
privacy policy explains how MatchbookMethod.com may collect
information about you when you use our services (the
"Services") on this website (the "Site") and the choices
you can make about the way that information is collected
and used.
When
you purchase products and services on this Site
MatchbookMethod.com collects information about you.
We may collect two types of information about you: personal
information (information that identifies you as an
individual, for example your name, postal address,
telephone number, e-mail address, credit card number or
other payment account number) and other information, for
example anonymised demographic information that does not
reveal your specific identity.
Our Services are not intended for persons under the age of
18. If you are under 18, please do not purchase any
Matchbook Method products or services or provide us with
any personal information.
The Information We Collect and How We Use It
We may collect personal information from you (including
your name, e-mail address, postal address, and telephone
number) when you order products or services, enter
contests, vote in polls or otherwise express an opinion,
subscribe to one of our services such as our online
newsletters or mailing lists, or participate in one of our
online forums or communities. We use these details in order
to provide the service or product to you, to respond to any
queries you may have, and to understand customer trends and
patterns.
We may on occasion combine information we receive online
with other records to enhance our ability to notify you of
our products and services that we think will be of interest
to you and to improve our understanding of customer trends
and patterns.
We may ask you for additional information, including, but
not limited to, your age and the state you live in to
assist us in our initiatives outlined above and to improve
our understanding of customer trends and patterns.
When you enter The Lounge forum please be aware that
information you disclose in these areas (including your
e-mail address) can be collected and used by people you do
not know.
Cookies and Technical Information
When you visit this site we send "cookies" to your computer
primarily to enhance your on-line experience. "Cookies" are
files which can identify you as a unique customer and store
your personal preferences as well as technical information.
On their own cookies do not contain or reveal any personal
information. However, if you choose to provide your
personal information via this site, such information may be
linked to the data stored in the cookies.
We use cookies and technical information to track customer
trends and patterns. This helps us improve the design and
content of our site and products for visitors and assists
us in our marketing initiatives.
Although most browsers are initially set up to accept
cookies, you can set most browsers at any time to refuse
all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. Please

Outside Parties
We may share information about visitors to this site in an
anonymous or aggregate form with third parties including
advertisers, business partners, and sponsors, to understand
customer trends and patterns and manage and improve our
business relationships.
We may share personal information with third parties to
administer and provide our services to you (for example we
use third party financial institutions to process payment
for products and services you order). We may also share
details with third parties (such as auditors or legal
advisors) to obtain professional advice. Agents and
contractors who have access to personal information are
required to protect this information in a manner that is
consistent with this Privacy Policy by, for example, not
using the information for any purpose other than to carry
out the services they are performing.
If we intend to disclose your personal information to
outside organisations who want to market products or
services to you, we will ask for your consent to do so. If
you give consent and subsequently decide that you no longer
wish us to make transfers to other organizations for this
purpose, please contact us using the email address in the
How to Contact Us section and we will cease to do so.
We may disclose information we hold in response to legal
proceedings, for example, in response to a court order or a
subpoena. We may also disclose such information in response
to a law enforcement agency's request. We also reserve the
right to disclose information to third parties where a
complaint arises concerning your use of our site, and that
use is deemed by us to be inconsistent with the Privacy
Policy or our Terms and Conditions of Use.
It
is possible that we could merge or be acquired by another
business. During such a process, we may share your personal
information with our potential merger partner or buyer. In
the event that we, or a substantial part of our assets, are
acquired by another organization, your information will be
transferred to that organization, but we will require that
the recipient follows the privacy practices that you have
agreed with us. You will be notified of any change in
ownership and given an opportunity to object to further
processing of your personal information. Although we will
take all reasonable efforts to ensure that this Privacy
Policy is complied with, we cannot guarantee that personal
information that we collect will never be disclosed in a
manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.
Links, Advertisers, Third Party Sponsors & Ad-Servers
Our site may contain links to other sites where information
practices may be different to ours, including links from
advertisers, channel sponsors and partners that may use our
logos as part of a co-branding agreement. For example, if
you "click" on a banner advertisement the "click" may take
you off this web site. You should consult the other sites'
privacy notices as we are not responsible for and have no
control over information that is submitted to, or collected
by, these third parties.
We may use a reputable third party to present or serve the
advertisements that you may see at this site. This Privacy
Policy does not cover any use of information that a
third-party ad server may have collected from you.
We may sometimes offer content (e.g., competitions,
sweepstakes, or promotions) that is sponsored by or
cobranded with identified third parties. By virtue of these
relationships, the third parties may obtain personal
information that you voluntarily submit to participate in
the site/application activity. We are not responsible for
and have no control over these third parties' use of this
information. However, we will notify you at the time of
requesting personal information if these third parties will
obtain such information.
Security
Although absolute security cannot be guaranteed on the
Internet, please be assured that we have in place security
measures to protect the confidentiality of the information
we collect online. We will continue to maintain and improve
these measures over time in line with legal and
technological developments.

Changes to our Privacy Policy
If we decide to substantially change this Privacy Policy,
the changes will be posted on this site so that you are
always aware of the information we collect, how we use it
