In addition to using your personal information within The Virgo Birthdays "Group
of Companies", The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies" may share
your personal information with companies that offer products and/or services
under brand names of The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies". These
companies are called "licensees." For example, a company that publishes
and sells books under the "VGBD" brand would be such a licensee.
The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies" may also share your information
with companies that offer products and/or services that are cobranded using brand
names of The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies". These companies
are called "co-branding participants." When The Virgo Birthdays "Group
of Companies" shares personal information with any third parties acting
as licensees and co-branding participants, these licensees and co-branding participants
are restricted by contract from using the personal information for any marketing
or promotional purpose that is not directly related to a licensed or cobranded
product or service. Additional protection of your privacy: These licensees and
co-branding participants' use of personal information shared with them under
this Privacy Policy is subject to the same opt-out rights (and limitations upon
those rights) that apply to use of personal information by members of The Virgo
Birthdays "Group of Companies" under A4 below.
Non Registered Transactions
You may engage in transactions (such as purchasing products or services) without
registering and logging on our Websites. These transactions may be either with
us or with other members of The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies".
(We refer to all of these transactions that you engage in without registering
and logging on our Websites as "Non-Registered Transactions.")
An example of a Non-Registered Transaction would be when you purchase items from
AstrologyBirthday.com without registering and logging on that Website. When you
engage in Non-Registered Transactions, the opt-out choices described in A4 below
will not be available to you, but your information will not be shared with third
parties, and will not be used by any member of The Virgo Birthdays "Group
of Companies" to send you promotional materials other than the member involved
in your transaction, except as separately permitted by other provisions of this
Privacy Policy.
Finally, The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies" may take your personally
identifiable information and make it non-personally identifiable, either by combining
it with information about other individuals (aggregating your information with
information about other individuals), or by removing characteristics (such as
your name) that make the information personally identifiable to you (depersonalizing
your information).
Given the nature of this information, there are no
restrictions under this Privacy Policy upon the right of The Virgo
Birthdays "Group
of Companies" to aggregate or depersonalize your personal information,
and The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies" may use
and/or share with third parties the resulting non-personally identifiable
information in any way.
Third Parties Offering Promotions, Products, or Services
Subject to your opt-out choices (see A4 below),
The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies" may share your personal
information with selected third parties so that they can send you promotional
materials about goods and services (including special offers and promotions)
offered by them. (We call this type of sharing "promotional sharing" or
sharing for "promotional purposes.")
When sharing your information for promotional purposes, The Virgo
Birthdays "Group
of Companies" attempts to select only reputable companies that offer high
quality products and services. Moreover, The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies" will
not share your e-mail address with third parties for promotional
purposes, except when you consent to such sharing in the course of
your participation in a Sponsored Activity as described below.
When The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies" shares your personal
information with a third party under any circumstance described in this "Third
Parties Offering Promotions, Products, or Services" section,
your personal information will become permanently subject to the
information use and sharing practices of the third party, and the
third party will not be restricted by this Privacy Policy with respect
to its use and further sharing of your personal information.In addition
to the promotional sharing that is subject to your opt-out choices
under A4 below,
The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies" may also share
your information when you engage in certain activities on our sites
that are sponsored by third parties, such as purchasing products
or services offered by a third party, electing to receive information
or communications from a third party, or electing to participate
in contests, sweepstakes, games or other programs sponsored in whole
or in part by a third party.
The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies" may also share your personal
information when you respond to promotional materials from The Virgo Birthdays "Group
of Companies" and authorize a third party to use your personal information
for purposes such as, for example, sending you additional promotional materials,
providing you a product or service, or entering you in a contest, sweepstakes
or game. (We refer to all of these activities and requests as "Sponsored
Activities.")
When you participate in Sponsored Activities, you will either be
required or requested to agree that the sponsor or business associate
may use your personal information (including, in some cases, your
e-mail address) in accordance with the sponsor or business associate's
privacy practices. Since you will have consented to this specific
instance of sharing of your personal information, the opt-out choice
for "Third Parties" described in A4 below will not apply.
