Through Technology - Continued from page 2
Our sites “VGBD” and“VBSS” use cookies. Cookies are pieces
of information that a Website sends to your computer while you are viewing their
Website(s). We use cookies for a variety of purposes. For instance, when you
return to one of our sites after logging in, cookies provide information to the
site so that the site will remember who you are. You can choose to have your
computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn
off all cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won't have access to many features
that make your Web experience at “VGBD” and “VBSS” smoother,
like the features mentioned above, and some of our services will not function
properly, or not at all.
Advertisements are administered and placed on our Websites by third parties.
These companies are referred to as our "network advertisers." Network
advertisers who place advertisements on our Websites may also use cookies and
and other technologies to collect non-personally identifiable information when
you click on or move your cursor over one of their banner advertisements. You
may not realize this information is being collected. In some cases, we may have
access to information from links and cookies used by network advertisers on our
sites and this information may permit us to identify other sites that you have
visited that are also associated with the network advertiser. Finally, once you've
clicked on an advertisement and have left our Websites, our Privacy Policy no
longer applies and you must read the privacy policy of the networks advertiser
to see how your personal information will be handled on their site.
Information That We Collect from Others

directly from you, our guests with other information that we obtain from third
parties and other members of Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies".
In addition, we may obtain information about individuals who are not yet users

or other members of The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies" with personally
identifiable information that we have collected under this Privacy Policy, we
will treat the acquired information like the information that we collected ourselves
and, except as permitted by this Privacy Policy, the information will not be

Answer to Question #3:

Birthdays "Group of Companies" or offered by third parties. These promotional
materials may be sent to you by postal mail, e-mail or other means. You may opt

from The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies", promotional materials
may accompany delivery of that product or service. We refer to sending you promotional
materials in these circumstances as "Fulfillment Uses" of your personal

of these Fulfillment Uses.The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies" may

that do not involve the sending of promotional materials as "Operational

For example, we may use your information to complete transactions requested by
you (such as your purchase of a product or service offered on our Websites),
or to send you administrative communications either about your account with us
or about features of our Websites, including any future changes to this Privacy
Policy. Because these uses of your personal information do not involve sending
you promotional materials, your opt-outs for Individual “VBSS” and
Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies" under A4 below will not apply
to any of these Operational Uses.
