[In Privacy] [August 24, 2003]
Privacy Policy

PhoneContent, is deeply committed to protecting the privacy of Internet users. Below is information outlining our continued support for the responsible management of consumer information.

Consumer Information

During the process of delivering an ad to you, PhoneContent does not collect any personally identifiable information about you such as name, address, phone number, or e-mail address. However, PhoneContent does obtain some types of non-personally identifiable information such as the Internet Service Provider you use to connect to the Internet, your browser type, or the type of computer operating system you use (Macintosh or Windows, for example). The information collected by PhoneContent is used for the purpose of targeting ads and measuring ad effectiveness on behalf of our advertisers.

In some cases, you may voluntarily provide personal information in response to a specific ad (this ad may ask you to fill out a survey or provide your zip code). If this does occur, PhoneContent may collect this information on behalf of an advertiser. This information is used by an advertiser to respond to your request. In addition, PhoneContent may combine this information with other users' information and review it in an aggregate form to understand the type of individuals who view a specific type of ad or visit a particular kind of website.

PhoneContent Mailinglists

PhoneContent's Mailinglist Service is our email services division. We manage an email newsletter network, delivering advertisements into permission-based email programs. 

PhoneContent is deeply committed to protecting the privacy of Internet Users. If you are participating in a newsletter program that is being managed and hosted by PhoneContent, the email address that you provide to us will only be used by PhoneContent to send email communications that you have specifically told us you are interested in receiving. This information will never be made available to any third parties. 

If you have provided additional information such as zip code, age, gender or other non-personally-identifiable information, PhoneContent may use this information to provide you more relevant advertisements within the newsletters you have requested and to measure their effectiveness on behalf of our advertisers as described in the previous paragraphs.

Data Collection and Opt Out

PhoneContent, as well as most sites on the Internet, uses "cookies" to enhance your experience on the web. PhoneContent cannot use these cookies to personally identify you in any way. What are cookies and why do we use them? A cookie is a unique number that is provided to you the first time PhoneContent serves you an ad. This unique number, which is stored in a cookie file on your computer, helps PhoneContent target ads to you. This cookie can help PhoneContent ensure that we don't serve you the same ad multiple times, and help our advertisers understand what you like and don't like about their offerings so that they can cater better to your needs the next time you are interested in their products or services. While we believe that cookies enhance your Internet experience by limiting the number of times you see the same ad and delivering more relevant content to you, they are not required for PhoneContent to deliver you an ad.

If you do not want the benefit of cookies, there is a simple procedure to manually delete your cookies. Please consult your web browser's Help documentation for more information.

You may opt out of our Mailinglist Services at any time.
