COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
By signing up for SharpBookie, you agree to the use of your personal information as described in the Privacy Policy.
PRIVACY POLICY
Your privacy is of the utmost importance to us. We feel that you have a right to know what information we collect, and how we use it.
What information do we gather from our Web site?
SharpBookie collects two types of information when you visit our Web site:
Tracking, or aggregate, data that does not identify you personally, and is automatically collected from every visitor; this includes:
* The time and date of your visit;
* The specific pages which you visit;
* The make and version of the Web browser you are using;
* The brand and version of your computer's operating system;
* The IP address of the computer you are using.
Information that identifies you personally, and is collected only if you create an account with SharpBookie; this includes:
* Your email address.
HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION
We use the tracking data to gather general demographic information, measure usage patterns, and gauge user trends. This allows us to better understand our visitors needs and tailor our content accordingly.
SharpBookie uses IP addresses and page requests to track user movements and analyze user preferences. This gives us a broad view of where our visitors come from and what they are looking for on our Web site. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information and are kept separate from individual clients' records.
The information about your browser and operating system is used to verify that our web server software is compatible with your computer’s configuration.
When a visitor creates an account with SharpBookie:
We require an email address to allow our client to retrieve their unique login and password in the event their login and password is lost or forgotten.
Who else has access to the information we collect?
SharpBookie treats all personal information as confidential, and will not disclose it or use it except as explained in this statement or as required by law.
If a client provides personal information during an interaction with our customer service areas (for example, an email address or telephone number), we will use it only for the purpose of customer service. We will not sell a client's phone number to telemarketers or anyone else.
SharpBookie is a privately held software company. SharpBookie will never release any personal information about your or any of our clients to any third parties.
What security measures are used to protect the integrity of your information?
SharpBookie takes every precaution to protect our client's information. When clients submit sensitive information via the site, their information is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration form asks clients to enter sensitive information (such as credit card numbers), such information is encoded using SSL, the most powerful system available for Internet security and encryption.
In addition to using SSL encryption to protect sensitive online transactions, we also do everything possible to protect our client's information off-line. All of our clients’ personal information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only those employees who need it to perform a specific job (for example, our customer service representatives) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
Finally, all computers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment. SharpBookie uses the best available hardware and software technologies to block any unauthorized entry into our systems.
What choices are available to you regarding the collection and use of your information?
If you have any reason to believe that a breach of privacy may have occurred at SharpBookie, or that any of the information held by SharpBookie about you is inappropriately handled, or if you have any questions, email our Customer Service Department at service@SharpBookie.com and we will investigate promptly.
HOW AND WHY WE USE COOKIES
Many web users are concerned and possibly confused about the use of "cookies" on the Internet. A cookie is a small text file that is transferred from a web site to the hard drive of your computer. We use cookies to store a coded ID number, which identifies your browser to our server and allows us to track your activities while you visit SharpBookie.
Since cookies are only text files, they cannot "run" on your computer and have no ability to search your computer for other information, or actively transmit data to anyone else. Since our cookie file is in a coded form, only SharpBookie's server can read the cookie that it places on your hard drive. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites.
SharpBookie uses cookies and URL tracking codes to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and our Web site, not to monitor the activities of individual customers. SharpBookie does not disclose to advertisers any information about individual customers.
You can set your browser to automatically refuse all cookies or else to notify you any time a cookie is sent, so you can accept or reject it as you prefer. If you reject the cookie from SharpBookie, you can still use the site, but you may be limited in accessing or using certain areas.
SharpBookie may contain links to other sites; we are not responsible for the practices of such other sites. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by SharpBookie. We encourage our clients and visitors to be alert when they leave our site and to read the privacy statement of any web site that collects personally identifiable information.
