Companies That Facilitate Communications,
Deliveries and Transactions with You.
Sometimes The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies" hires companies
to help deliver products or services, like a shipping company that delivers a
package or a company that helps fulfill prizes for a sweepstakes. In those instances,
there is a need to share your information with these companies. Sometimes The
Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies" also works with other companies
who help either gather your information or communicate with you. Your opt-out
choices under A4 below
will not apply to sharing by The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies" of
your personal information with any of these companies. Nonetheless, except as
separately permitted by other provisions of this Privacy Policy, these companies
are allowed to gather, receive, and use your information only for the purposes
described in this paragraph or as required by law.
Companies That You Previously Authorized to Obtain Your Information In certain circumstances, your dealings with a third party
may have authorized that third party to obtain your personal information
from The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies" and to use
that information in accordance with the third party's own privacy practices
and policies. For example, in using an online shopping service (such
as the shopping services offered by Internet portals that refer the
portal's users to third-party merchants), you may have authorized that
shopping service to obtain from the service's participating third-party
merchants (including The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies")
information about your purchases conducted through the shopping service.
In such circumstances, your opt-out elections under A4 below
will not apply to sharing of your personal information by The Virgo
Birthdays "Group of Companies". Nonetheless, The Virgo Birthdays "Group
of Companies" will provide such companies only the information
that you authorized (except as separately permitted under other provisions
of this Privacy Policy).
In the example given above, the shopping service would be provided only information
concerning purchases you made from The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies" through
that shopping service, and would not be provided any other information concerning
you, unless any additional sharing of your personal information were separately
permitted under another provision of this Privacy Policy.
Purchase or Sale of Businesses
From time to time, we may purchase a business or sell one or more of our businesses
and your personally identifiable information may be transferred as a part of
the purchase or sale. In the event that we purchase a business, the personally
identifiable information received with that business would be treated in accordance
with this Privacy Policy, if it is practicable and permissible to do so.
In
the event that we sell a business, we will include provisions in the
selling contract requiring the purchaser to treat your personally identifiable
information in the same manner required by this Privacy Policy (including
any amendments to this Privacy Policy).
In light of this protection, your opt-out choices under A4 will not affect our
right to transfer your information to a purchaser in these circumstances. The
provisions of this paragraph will also apply in the event that one or more businesses
of any other member of The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies" are
sold and personal information subject to this Privacy Policy is transferred to
a purchaser of those businesses. Disclosures Required By Law and Disclosures

Birthdays "Group of Companies" and OthersRegardless of any opt-out
choices that you make under A4,
The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies" will disclose personal information
when it believes in good faith that such disclosures (a) are required by law,
including, for example, to comply with a court order or subpoena, or (b) will
help to: enforce our Terms of Use; enforce contest, sweepstakes, promotions,
and/or game rules; protect you or your childrens safety or security, including
the safety and security of property that belongs to you; and/or, protect the
safety and security of our Websites, The Virgo Birthdays "Group of Companies",

Question #4. Q4.
What choices do you have about the collection, use, and sharing of your personally
identifiable information?
Answer to Question #4: A4. With regard to personal information that you have provided
under this Privacy Policy, there are three separate opt-out choices available
to you. These opt-out choices are the means by which you give us, or decline
to give us, your consent to use your personal information for the purposes
covered by these opt-out choices. Some of our Websites may not present you
all three opt-out choices described below. Please be assured, however, that
if any one of these opt-out choices is not presented to you on a Website,
personal information collected from you on that site will not be used for
the purposes covered by that opt-out choice.
There are several methods by which you can exercise your opt-out choices: (a)
during the registration process on our Websites; (b) after registration, by logging
on our Websites, clicking on our Privacy Policy links, going to a site's Members
Area (sometimes called a site's "Member Services" or "Preference" center),
and following the opt-out directions; and (c) as described below in A6.
Each of these opt-out choices is subject to the exceptions described further
below in this A4.
