Scrub The Web Privacy Policy
In general, Scrub The Web does not collect, store, use or disclose personally identifying
information except in very specific instances, such as, for example, when you enroll as
a member or advertiser/merchant, as defined below. The instances in which Scrub The Web does collect and use
information are specifically described in this Privacy Policy.
Scrub The Web provides fun, easy to use services, including Scrub The Web Search (located at
www.scrubtheweb.com) and Scrub The Web Web site development services (located at www.scrubtheweb/abs/)
(the "Services"). The Services are made available by Scrub The Web and, its subsidiaries and affiliates.
Scrub The Web values its users and their concerns about privacy. To this end, Scrub The Web engages
in consistent information practices and uses its best efforts to make clear disclosures regarding
those practices. This Privacy Policy is a part of that effort.
What does this Privacy Policy cover?
This Privacy Policy applies to collection, use, storage and disclosure of information by
Scrub The Web. If there are any exceptions, we will clearly disclose them prior to collecting any
information, and will give you an opportunity to choose not to participate or provide the
information.
Please be aware that, as part of the Services, Scrub The Web provides links to Web sites operated
by third parties, and also provides search results and similar services to third parties for
display on their own Web sites or applications. Scrub The Web is not responsible for the information
collection or privacy practices or the content of those third party Web sites or applications. Also,
please be aware that banner ads on Scrub The Web may be provided by a third party, which may collect
cookies as part of the process of serving those ads. These cookies are typically used for the
purpose of tracking performance of the banner ads. Scrub The Web does not determine which information
will be collected by that third party. Please see the paragraph below regarding Third Party Banner Ads.
Third Party Banner Ads.
Scrub The Web may use other third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Web
site. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address or
telephone number) about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements
on this site and other sites about goods and services that may be of interest to you.
What information does Scrub The Web collect and how is it used?
Does Scrub The Web disclose information to third parties? Scrub The Web may collect any or all of
the following three types of information: (a) traffic or clickstream data, (b) cookies, or (c)
contact information and other personally identifying information. Scrub The Web's collection and use
of each type of data is described below, as well as the ways (if any) in which the data may be
shared with third parties.
(a) Traffic or Clickstream Data. Data about traffic and usage is not personally
identifying or identifiable, and is not supplemented or combined with personally identifying
or identifiable information. Scrub The Web may share information it collects with certain selected
third parties, but only in aggregated, anonymous form. For example, we may tell an advertiser that
a certain number of people visited a certain area on our Web site or searched Web sites for the term
"apple pies."Scrub The Web collects some information regarding use of the Services by observing browser
functions and the files (pages) users access. For example, Scrub The Web's servers collect information
about the site from which you entered to enable Scrub The Web to calculate and pay its affiliates if
any, information about the most frequently searched terms to help its advertisers provide the most
relevant search results, information about usage to check for fraudulent behavior or other
abnormalities and to ensure that our Services are technically superior. In addition to the foregoing
applications, Scrub The Web uses the information (in aggregate form) to better design the Services.
(b) Cookies. Like many sites, Scrub The Web may collect information about online behavior using
cookies. These cookies contain identification information that enables us to see how our users are
interacting with our site and how frequently they are returning, as well as to streamline their
experiences using the Services. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information.
Cookies lets us know about repeat visitors and if we are delivering quality products and services.
Scrub The Web may also use cookies to identify which sites our repeat visitors are coming from, so
that we can place more of our online advertising on these sites, and can, where necessary, pay our
affiliates and other business partners. To Scrub The Web, using information within cookies is an
anonymous way to survey how we are doing and to look for ways to improve our Services. You may set
your browser software to reject cookies, but you may not be able to use all of the features of the
Services. Scrub The Web may share information about usage of the Services with third parties, but
only in aggregated, anonymous form. In the course of serving advertisements to this site, our
third-party advertiser may place or recognize a unique "cookie" on your browser.
(c) Contact Information or Personally Identifying Information. Scrub The Web can obtain access to
your name, e-mail address and other contact information only (1) when you become an member
advertiser or merchant with Scrub The Web, provide comments, submit a problem, or request
information from Scrub The Web and provide your name or return contact information, (2) when you
register for the advanced features of Scrub The Web, or (3) in connection with special offers or
contests.
Contact information provided in connection with problems, comments or requests is used only to
respond to those problems, comments or requests. This information is not stored or used in
connection with traffic or clickstream data and is provided to a third party only as necessary
to respond to the comment, problem or request.
Scrub The Web may use registration information to make users aware of new products or special offers
or promotions. Scrub The Web will abide by requests from you (in accordance with the procedure below)
to discontinue such use. Scrub The Web stores personally identifiable information obtained through
registration securely (as described below) and considers it part of the assets of its business.
With your permission, Scrub The Web will not provide registration information to third parties.
Finally, you may choose to provide contact information, other personally identifying information,
and demographic information in order to participate in optional surveys or contests, which are run
for promotional purposes. Scrub The Web uses such information to send you information about its
products and to notify you if you win the contest. Finally, from time to time, but only with your
permission, Scrub The Web may provide certain of its users' registration information to selected
third parties who wish to participate in special promotions offered in conjunction with Scrub The
Web. Users may opt-out of receiving such communications at any time by contacting Scrub The Web.
Is data stored by Scrub The Web secure?
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of
information, Scrub The Web has put in place physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to
safeguard and secure the information it collects online. However, data security is a constantly
evolving art and science. You should consider any communication that you transmit to Scrub The Web
(such as data, questions or answers, comments, or suggestions) as non-confidential, and agree that
Scrub The Web will not be liable or responsible if information that belongs to you is intercepted
and used by an unintended recipient.
