PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: November 12,2005
CozyHeating.com strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet
technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail
address, street address, telephone number) subject to the terms
of this privacy policy. We will never sell, barter, or rent your
email address to any unauthorized third party. Period."
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting,
the activities in which you elect to participate and the services
provided. For example, you may be asked to provide information when
you register for access to certain portions of our site or request
certain features, such as newsletters or when you make a purchase.
You may provide information when you participate in sweepstakes
and contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive
areas of our site. Like most Web sites, CozyHeating.com also collects
information automatically and through the use of electronic tools
that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log
the name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology
to recognize you and hold information from your visit. Among other
things, the cookie may store your user name and password, sparing
you from having to re-enter that information each time you visit,
or may control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement
while visiting our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may
also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you
can choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting
your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may
be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be asked
to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able
to customize the site's features according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit
and deliver more individualized content and advertising. We respect
your privacy and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify
you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information
about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from
other users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn
which pages are visited most or what features are most attractive).
Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers
and business partners. Again, this information does not include
any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone
to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on CozyHeating.com
to communicate with you about your registration and customization
preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy; services and
products offered by CozyHeating.com and other topics we think you
might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by CozyHeating.com may also
be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions, administration
of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications with you.
Certain third parties who provide technical support for the operation
of our site (our Web hosting service for example) may access such
information. We will use your information only as permitted by law.
In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our business,
we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses.
In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred
assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a court
order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required
to do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you
may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we
deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide
you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
CozyHeating.com expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates to respect
the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties,
including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content
providers accessible through our site, may have their own privacy
and data collection policies and practices. For example, during
your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame
on a CozyHeating.com page, certain content that is actually created
or hosted by a third party. Also, through CozyHeating.com you may
be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites,
features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. CozyHeating.com
is not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties.
You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third
parties when providing information on a feature or page operated
by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third
parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify
some of your preferences or retrieve information about you. For
example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and
may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether
you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other features
available on our site may offer services operated by third parties
and may use cookies or other technology to gather information. CozyHeating.com
does not control the use of this technology by third parties or
the resulting information, and is not responsible for any actions
or policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable
Information on message boards or in chat areas, that information
can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by third parties
without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from
other individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond the
control of CozyHeating.com and this policy.
Children
CozyHeating.com does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally Identifiable
Information from or about children under 13 except as permitted
by law. If we discover we have received any information from a child
under 13 in violation of this policy, we will delete that information
