Statement.
2. PARTICIPATING MERCHANT POLICIES
Related services and offerings with links from this website, including vendor
sites, have their own privacy statements that can be viewed by clicking on
the corresponding links within each respective website. Online merchants and
others who participate in Monster Match services are encouraged to participate
in industry privacy initiatives and to take a responsible attitude towards
consumer privacy. However, since we do not have direct control over the policies
or practices of participating merchants and other third parties, we are not
responsible for the privacy practices or contents of those sites. We recommend
and encourage that you always review the privacy policies of merchants and
other third parties before you provide any personal information or complete
any transaction with such parties.
3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT
Monster Match collects certain information from and about its users three ways:
directly from our Web Server logs, the user, and with Cookies.
a. Web Server Logs.
When you visit our Website, we may track information to administer the site
and analyze its usage. Examples of information we may track include:
•
Your Internet protocol address.
•
The kind of browser or computer you use.
•
Number of links you click within the site.
•
State or country from which you accessed the site.
•
Date and time of your visit.
•
Name of your Internet service provider.
•

Pages you viewed on the site.
b. Use of Cookies
Monster Match may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience.
A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page
server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.
Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web Server
in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature
to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within
a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent
visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and
eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information
as well as providing personalized functionality..
Monster Match reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with
partner companies, but does not allow other companies to place cookies on our
website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as merging
into Monster Match.net, a site that relies on third-party cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline
cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings then be aware
that this may disable some of the functionality on our Website.
c. Personal Information Users
Visitors to our website can register to purchase services. When you register,
we will request some personal information such as name, address, email, telephone
number or facsimile number, account number and other relevant information.
If you are purchasing a service, we will request financial information. Any
financial information we collect is used only to bill you for the services
you purchased. If you purchase by credit card, this information may be forwarded
to your credit card provider. For other types of registrations, we will ask
for the relevant information. You may also be asked to disclose personal information
to us so that we can provide assistance and information to you. For example,
such data may be warranted in order to provide online technical support and
troubleshooting.
We will not disclose personally identifiable information we collect from you
to third parties without your permission except to the extent necessary including:
• To fulfill your service requests for services.
• To protect ourselves from liability,
• To respond to legal process or comply with law, or
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the company.
4. USE OF WEB BEACONS OR GIF FILES
Monster Match /www.MonsterMatch.net Web pages may contain electronic images
known as Web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that
allow Monster Match to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver
co-branded services. Monster Match may include Web beacons in promotional
e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have
been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to
help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email communications.
These Web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent
cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider to recognize your
computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous
information in relation to those page views, which in turn enables us and our
service providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to our
website and how you use the site. Monster Match prohibits Web beacons from
being used to collect or access your personal information.
5. ACCESSING WEB ACCOUNT INFORMATION
We will provide you with the means to ensure that personally identifiable information
in your web account file is correct and current. You may review this information
by contacting us by sending an email to our support attendant: CustomerCare@monstermatch.net
6. CHANGES TO THIS STATEMENT
Monster Match has the discretion to occasionally update this privacy statement.
When we do, we will also revise the “updated” date at the top of
this Privacy page. We encourage you to periodically review this privacy statement
to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information
we collect. Your continued use of the service constitutes your agreement to
this privacy statement and any updates.
