Generally CVT is committed to protecting your privacy and developing
technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience.
This CVT Privacy Policy applies to CVT's Web site and governs data
collection and usage at CVT site and services. Please read the complete
CVT Privacy Policy below.
The purpose of the CVT Web site's privacy policy is to inform you,
as a welcome visitor to our Web site, about the kinds of information
we may gather about you when you visit our Web site, how we may
use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and your
ability to correct, the information. Finally, please note that this
policy applies only to the CVT Web site and Web site that carry
the CVT Web site's brand, and not to other companies' or organizations'
Web sites to which we link. We have clearly marked the CVT Web site
and these branded Web sites with our logo so you know where this
policy applies.
Information About All CVT Web site Visitors
CVT keeps track of the Web site and pages our customers visit within
the Web site, in order to determine what services are the most popular.
This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising
within CVT to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested
in a particular subject area. Our service automatically gathers
certain usage information like the numbers and frequency of visitors
to CVT Web site and its areas. This is similar to the way television
ratings tell the networks how many people tuned in to a program.
We only use such data in the aggregate. This collective data
helps us determine how much our customers use parts of the site,
so we can improve our site to assure that it is as appealing as
we can make it for as many of you as possible.
For example, the CVT Web site may use a technology nicknamed "cookies"
that tells us how and when pages in our site are visited, and by
how many people. CVT cookies do not collect personally identifiable
information and we do not combine information collected through
cookies with other personally identifiable information to tell us
who you are or even what your screen name or e-mail address is.
We also may provide statistical "ratings" information,
never information about you personally, to our CVT Web site partners
about how our members, collectively, use CVT Web site. We do this
so they too can understand how much people use their areas and our
site in order for them to
provide you with the best possible Web experience as well.
Use of Cookies
CVT Web site may use "cookies" to help you personalize
your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on
your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run
programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely
assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain
that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience
feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the
Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example,
if you personalize CVT's pages, or register with CVT site or services,
a cookie helps CVT to recall your specific information on subsequent
visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information,
such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you
return to the same CVT Web site, the information you previously
provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the CVT features
that you
customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline
cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive
features of the CVT services or Web site you visit.
Use of Third Party Advertising
The majority of the advertisements you see on the CVT Web site are
displayed by CVT. In addition, CVT also allows other companies,
called third-party advertisers, to display advertisements while
you are viewing content on CVT Web site. These advertisement are
selected based on what we believe will be of most interest to you.
Information About You
Sometimes, we may specifically ask for information about you when
you sign up to use a service or when you order a product. CVT does
not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. We
do, however, need certain information -- such as name, age, Internet
address or screen name, billing address, type of computer, credit
card number -- in order to provide that service or product to you.
We may also use that information to let you know of additional products
and services about which you might be interested. You can choose
not to receive such information if you don't want to by letting
us know on the registration screen when you sign up for the product
or service. We may ask you for
information about your interests so that both you and we can take
advantage of the interactivity of the online medium, but you may
always choose to respond or not. Additionally, we may provide you
with an opportunity to be listed in a directory on one of our CVT-
branded services -- these listings are also optional and you can
make changes to or eliminate this information when you want to.
CVT does not associate sensitive data, such as your race, religion,
or political affiliations, with personally identifiable information.
CVT takes precautions to segregate any sensitive data you may provide
on CVT site and services that reference your race, religion, sexual
orientation, ethnicity or political affiliations.
Security of your Personal Information
CVT secures your personal information from unauthorized access,
use or disclosure. CVT secures the personally identifiable information
you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment,
protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Personal
information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other
Web site through the use of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encrypted
protection.
Third Party Disclosure
We do not use or disclose information about your individual visits
to the CVT Web site or information that you may give us, such as
your name, address, email address or elephone number, to any outside
companies. However, we may share with our Web site partners aggregated
statistical "ratings" information about the use of the
CVT Web site. CVT may share data with trusted partners to help us
perform statistical analysis. All such third parties are prohibited
from using your personal information except to provide these services
to CVT, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of
your information.
CVT will never disclose your personal information without notice
unless it is required to do so by law or in the good faith belief
that such action is necessary to:
- conform to the law or comply with legal process served on CVT
or the site;
- protect and defend the rights or property of CVT, a CVT Web
site; and,
- act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety
of users of CVT, its Web site, or the public.
Children On The Web
CVT takes special care to protect the safety and privacy of children
using our services. We do not specifically collect information about
children and believe that children should get their parents' consent
before giving out any personal information. We encourage you to
participate in your child's experience in cyberspace and to review
our important safety tips before your child explores the Internet.
We also encourage you and your child to visit the CVT Web site that
provides access to age-appropriate content available on the Web.
CVT also recommends that parents use Web filtering technology to
supervise their kids' access to the Web.

information, CVT will prominently post such changes prior to implementing
the change. CVT encourages you to periodically review this Statement
to be informed of how CVT is protecting your information.
