Golden Tans Privacy Statement

This document was last updated December 16, 2006.

Golden Tans is committed to protecting your privacy. You can visit most pages on goldentans.com and goldentan.com without giving us any information about yourself. But sometimes we do need information to provide services that you request, and this privacy statement explains data collection and use in those situations. This privacy statement only applies to Golden Tans. Please read the complete Golden Tans privacy statement.

Collection of your Personal Information
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you. Generally, this information is requested when you are registering before ordering e-mail newsletters, joining a limited-access site or when purchasing services. Personal information collected by Golden Tans often is limited to e-mail address or location, but may include other information when needed to provide a service you requested.

Golden Tans also collects certain information about your computer hardware and software. This information may include: your IP address, browser type, operating system, domain name, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of goldentans.com and goldentan.com.

Golden Tans also collects information about which pages our customers visit within goldentans.com and goldentan.com. This site visitation data is identified only by a unique ID number, and it is never linked with personal information.

Use of your Personal Information
We use your personal information for the following purposes:

To help us create and publish content most relevant to you.
To alert you to special offers, updated information and other new services from Golden Tans, if you so request.
To allow you access to limited-entry areas of our site as appropriate.

We will merge site-visitation data with anonymous demographic information for research purposes, and we may use this information in aggregate to provide more relevant content. In some limited-entry sections of goldentans.com and goldentan.com, with your approval, we will combine site-visitation data with your personal information in order to provide you with personalized content. If you decline permission, we will not provide you the personalized service and won’t merge your personal information with site-visitation data.

Control of your Personal Information
When you register, or otherwise give us personal information, Golden Tans will not share that information with third parties. It will only be used for the purposes stated above.

For example, we store the personal information you provide in computer servers with limited access that are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit sensitive information (such as a credit card number) over the internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
