Information Collected IntroDepot collects personally identifiable information (name, physical address, e-mail address, telephone number, and interests) from users, known as subscribers, who have their video displayed on the IntroDepot website. IntroDepot also collects non-personally identifiable information such as interests from other users, known as searchers. Searchers visit the IntroDepot website to search for services from subscribers and other providers who meet their needs and may share their interests. IntroDepot Users (subscribers and searchers) are not required to disclose any interest information, although portions of the IntroDepot site may not function optimally without such information. How IntroDepot Uses Information From Subscribers IntroDepot uses the information from subscribers to process and maintain their accounts. This means as part of the company’s commitment to service, IntroDepot may use this information to contact subscribers about their account. IntroDepot may either call subscribers by telephone, send physical mail or electronic mail in order to ensure that necessary account-related information is promptly delivered. At no time will IntroDepot share any information with any third party without the subscribers’ expressed permission. How IntroDepot Uses Information From Searchers When searchers click on products or books on IntroDepot, they will be directed to an affiliate partner's website and, if they decide to make a purchase, required to provide contact information (e.g., name and shipping address) and financial information (e.g., credit card number and expiration date). This information will be used by our third party partners, (see third party partners below), to fulfill orders and to bill accounts accordingly. IP Addresses and Cookies IntroDepot uses IP addresses (random numbers assigned to individual computers) to help diagnose problems with the servers, administer the Web site and anonymously track content preferences and traffic patterns. IntroDepot also uses cookies (small text files transferred from this Web site to the user’s hard drive) to recognize repeat users, allow searchers to find what they’re looking for according to the interests they express, track usage behavior and facilitate access to the IntroDepot site. Cookies do not damage files or allow anyone to access personally identifiable information - they simply allow IntroDepot to tailor information and advertisements to make the user’s visit more enjoyable and meaningful. They also provide information about site usage that allows IntroDepot to improve and update this site. IntroDepot may share aggregate (not individual) site usage statistics and demographic information with advertisers and other affiliated third parties.
