Privacy Policy/Terms of Use

When accessing the Site, Kaleidoscope Marketing Group LLC ("KMG") will learn certain information about you during your visit. How KMG handles information we learn about you depends upon what you do when visiting the Site. If you visit the Site to read information, KMG collects and stores information concerning your visit, such as the name of the domain from which you access the Internet, the date and time you accessed the Site, the Internet address of the Web site you used to link directly to the Site, and information about your computing system (e.g. your IP address, operating system, Web browser).

If you identify yourself by sending us an email containing personal information, then the information collected will be solely used to respond to your message unless you have agreed to another use of such information.

The Site uses cookies to facilitate easier navigation within the site and provide a higher level of convenience for the visitor. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard drive by a Web page server. The cookies used by the Site are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies do not contain your personal information and do not retrieve any information from your personal computer. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. 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. 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 get the full benefit of interactive features on the Site. The information collected is for statistical purposes. KMG uses software programs to create summary statistics, which are used for such purposes as assessing the number of visitors to the different sections of the Site, what information is of most and least interest, determining technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem areas. We will also inform advertisers of such information as well as the number of users that have been exposed to or clicked on their advertising banners. Only aggregated data from these analyses will be provided to third parties.

For site security purposes and to ensure that the Site remains available to all users, KMG also uses software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.

KMG does not collect personally identifiable information about you when you visit the Site, unless you voluntarily provide such information to us. Examples of instances where you may elect to provide us with personally identifiable information include registration to view content, registration to receive Site updates or emails, registration for webinars or conference calls, submission of other content, voting or polling activity, and participating in contests or sweepstakes conducted through the Site. The following are ways that we may use this information: (a) send samples, premiums, products and information; (b) enroll you in contests, programs, or offers you request; (c) create and manage your account; (d) determine the effectiveness of our marketing programs ; (e) manage distribution of our marketing programs ; and (f) enforce our terms of use and otherwise manage our business.

Personally identifiable information will not be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties without the approval of the user at the time of collection, unless such transfer is necessary to facilitate the services being requested by the individual user. The user will have the opportunity to indicate whether he or she would like to "opt out" of receiving promotional and/or marketing information about other products, services and offerings from KMG and/or any third parties. Further, notwithstanding any opt-out of promotional information by the user, KMG reserves the right to contact a subscriber regarding account status, changes to the subscriber agreement and other matters relevant to the underlying service and/or the information collected.

KMG may sometimes permit third parties to offer subscription and/or registration based services through the Site. KMG is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties if a user decides to subscribe or register on those sites and users should check the applicable privacy policy when providing personally identifiable information to third parties.

Users should be aware that when they voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information on the public areas on the Site, that information and any substantive information disclosed in the communication can be collected and used by third parties. This could result in unsolicited messages from others who post on the Site and are beyond the control of KMG.

Upon request, KMG will take reasonable efforts to delete a user's personal information from its database. It may be impossible to delete a user's entry without some residual information because of backups and records of deletions. All KMG employees are trained to handle personal, confidential information of our visitors in a confidential manner. Disciplinary sanctions that may include dismissal are imposed on employees who deviate from such standards of care.

We believe it is important to provide added protection for children online. We encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with their children to participate in and monitor their online activity.

We do not intend to collect personal information from children under 13 online.

If any part of the Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Terms shall continue in effect.

A printed version of the Terms and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to the Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. It is the express wish to the parties that this agreement and all related documents be drawn up in English.

KMG's search engine refers sites and information located worldwide throughout the Internet. Because KMG has no control over such sites and information, it makes no guaranties as to those sites and information, including: (1) the accuracy, currency, content, or quality of the search results, or (2) whether the search may locate any unintended and objectionable content. Because some of the content on the Internet consists of material that is adult-oriented or otherwise objectionable to some people, the results of your search may automatically and unintentionally generate links or references to objectionable material. KMG can make no claim that such results will not occur. Search technology does not give results limited to only the hits that were sought. There may be extraneous hits as well.
