Revolution Money Inc. Privacy Statement
Effective December 1, 2006 – Online Version
Visiting our website.
This website is intended for U.S. residents only. You can visit our website without providing any information that identifies you, such as your name or e-mail address. We only obtain information that identifies you when you choose to provide us with such information.
Use of "cookies" and other tracking technologies.
We use cookies to track customers and potential customers who visit our websites or receive our html-formatted commercial electronic mail messages ("html e-mail"), and to facilitate their use of services offered on our websites or in connection with html e-mail. A "cookie" is a set of data that a web server stores on your computer that enables the server to recognize your computer. Cookies enable websites to "remember" your entries as you move from page to page, or when you revisit the site from time to time using the same computer. When used in conjunction with html e-mail, cookies help to "remember" your responses to such e-mail. The data set that makes up a cookie will typically not have any meaning to anyone other than the party that placed the cookie. A cookie cannot retrieve other data from your computer's hard drive or pass on computer viruses.
Two different types of cookies are used in connection with our websites:
"Session cookies" track the user's progression through our sites in a single visit. These cookies enable us to remember things as the user progresses from one page to another. With most Internet browsers, session cookies are either deleted or rendered inaccessible to us as soon as the user closes his or her browser. "Persistent cookies" enable us or our agents to remember a user at the user's next visit. Persistent cookies are neither automatically erased nor rendered inaccessible upon closing the user's browser, although persistent cookies will typically "expire" after some number of years. Upon expiration, such cookies may be deleted by the user's browser or rendered inaccessible to us and our agents. (If you do not want these cookies to remain on your computer, you can erase them through use of your browser settings.)
Both session and persistent cookies may also be used in connection with html e-mail sent by us.
Your browser or other software you install may permit you to restrict the use of session cookies, persistent cookies or all cookies. If you elect not to permit the use of session cookies, you may not be able to use our websites or certain features of our html e-mail messages. If you elect not to permit the use of persistent cookies only, you may still enjoy the full functionality of our websites and html e-mail; however, if you do so, you will need to re-enter some data when starting a new website session or opening (or re-opening) an html e-mail.
In addition, certain of our web pages and html e-mail messages may incorporate "pixel tags," "web beacons," or other technologies (collectively, "pixel tags") that allow us to track the actions of users of our websites and recipients of our e-mail communications. Pixel tags are used to collect non-personally identifiable data that, when aggregated with similar data collected from other website users or e-mail recipients, helps us to determine popular destinations, click-throughs and other information that can be used to improve our service to our customers. Furthermore, our online and e-mail advertising vendors may use pixel tags in connection with our websites and e-mail communications to help manage our online and e-mail advertising campaigns and to strengthen the effectiveness of such campaigns. For example, if a vendor has placed a unique cookie on your computer, pixel tag technology enables the vendor to recognize that cookie during your visit to one of our websites and to learn which online advertisement, if any, brought you to the website. We do not use pixel tags to directly collect your name, e-mail address or other personally identifiable data; however, we may link non-personally identifiable data collected by us via pixel tags or cookies to personally identifiable data about you that we have previously collected.
Web server logs.
We use web server logs to count the number of people who visit our website, average time spent on the site, pages reviewed and other relevant statistics each day. We do not capture any personally identifiable information about you or your e-mail address on our web server logs. We only use the information on our web server logs in aggregated form to better understand the use of our site and to help us improve the content of the site.
