Policy

member
websites.
Questions
regarding
this
statement
should
be
directed
to
the
EDA,

site
coordinator
SiteManager@comedition.
If
the
Web

has
not
responded
to
your

has
not

satisfactorily
addressed,

Statement
of
Privacy
EDA,
Inc.
recognizes
the
potential
sensitivity
of
confidential
information
that
may
be
placed
on
member
web
sites
and
is
firmly
committed
to
protecting
your
privacy.
The
following
discloses
our
information
gathering
and
dissemination
practices
for
EDA,
Inc.
Member
Sites.
Overview
None
of
the
personal,
private
information
that
is
uploaded
or
entered
on
an
EDA,
Inc.
web
sites
is
distributed
to
others
outside
of
our
sites
(except
in
rare
cases
involving
reported
violations
of
our
use
policies
or
legal
statutes.)
We
do
collect
some
data,
always
with
your
knowledge
and
consent,
which
is
used
to
personalize
the
site
for
your
convenience
and
for
the
benefit
of
other
site
members
and
friends
who
are
included
on
your
personal
sites.
A
portion
of
this
data,
particularly
that
which
reflects
members’
lifestyles
and
interests,
may
be
used
in
aggregate
statistical
form
to
attract
potential
sponsors
and
deliver
advertising
messages
to
appropriate
users,
but
member
addresses
will
not
be
divulged
without
the
member's
permission.
For
instance
we
might
tell
a
prospective
advertiser
that
8,000
of
our
members
have
indicated
an
interest
in
golf,
and
then
distribute
an
attractive
offer
exclusively
to
those
users.
In
no
case
is
the
personal
information
about
individual
members
sold
or
otherwise
shared
with
advertisers,
sponsors,
partners
or
other
3rd
parties.
And
under
no
circumstances
is
this
information
collected
or
distributed
in
any
form
without
your
prior
knowledge
and
consent.
The
specifics
of
our
Privacy
Policy

Some
of

to
FAQ's
Who
are
the
personal
site
members?
In
some
cases,
someone
visiting
a
Member
Site
may
decide
to
use
the
option
that
creates
a
free
family
site
or
homepage.
The
one
who
created
the
new
personal
site
is
referred
to
as
the
Site
Administrator
and
other
members
of
that
site
are
referred
to
as
personal
site
members.
Back
to
FAQ's
Who
will
be
able
to
view
personal
web
sites?
If
you
have
selected
the
member
option
to
develop
your
own
site
or
homepage
free,
you
will
be
assigned
an
user
name
and
password.
Only
those
members
with
a
valid
username
and
password
have
access
to
your
site.
Initially,
the
site
administrator
(creator)
will
invite
new
members
and
assign
a
temporary
username
and
password.
As
members
register,
they
may
change
their
passwords
to
ensure
complete
security
and
privacy.
It
is
then
the
responsibility
of
site
members
to
help
keep
the
site
secure
by
offering
password
access
only
to
appropriate
relatives
and
friends
–
those
they
want
to
have
access
to
the
site.
Each
user
is
responsible
to
protect
his
or
her
username
&
password.
Site
Administrators
may
provide
"guest
areas"
so
guests
can
view
certain
information
without
a
username
and
password.
Back
to
FAQ's
Do
we
ask
for
personal
information?
Yes.
Member
sites
may
ask
for
your
name,
email
address,
and
other
limited
personal
information
when
you
sign
up
for
a
free
newsletter
or
other
information.
More
information
is
usually
collected
when
a
member
creates
or
participate
in
a
member
created
personal
web
site
and
to
use
features
such
as
e-mail,
chat,
personality
profiles,
and
gift
registries.
Most
of
this
information
may
be
entered
at
your
option.
We
may
ask
for
similar
information
at
other
times,
such
as
when
you
enter
sweepstakes
or
other
promotions
sponsored
by
Member
Sites
and/or
our
partners.
Back
to
FAQ's
How
Does
EDA
Member
Sites
use
my
personal
information?
Our
goal
is
to
provide
you
with
the
most
personalized,
relevant,
user-friendly
Web
experience
possible.
The
primary
use
of
all
your
personal
information
is
to
share
it
with
other
members
and
friends
when
they
visit
your
personal
site.
If
you
do
not
have
a
personal
web
site,
we
will
not
usually
collect
personal
information.
EDA
Member
Sites
will
also
use
registration
and
profile
information
to
advise
you
of
new
members
and
new
postings
to
the
personal
web
site,
to
let
you
know
about
new
features
or
other
offers
of
interest
from
EDA
Member
Sites
to
address
customer
service
needs
and
requests.
To
make
the
site
more
relevant
to
you
we
also
direct
advertising
from
our
sponsors
according
to
the
interests
of
our
users.
For
instance,
if
you
indicate
an
interest
in
cooking
in
your
member
profile,
you
may
see
an
ad
from
Betty
Crocker,
while
your
brother,
who
likes
sports
might
see
an
Adidas
ad.
Ultimately,
this
makes
the
service
far
more
valuable
to
each
site
member.
In
distributing
advertiser
or
sponsor
messages,
the
advertiser
never
has
access
to
individual
account
information.
EDA,
Inc.
Member
Sites
do
not
sell,
rent
or
otherwise
distribute
the
personal
information
you
provide
us.
Advertisers
simply
give
us
an
ad
and
tell
us
the
type
of
audience
they
want
to
reach
(for
example,
males
over
35
years
old,
or
18-34
year
olds
interested
in
outdoor
sports).
EDA,
Inc.
members
may
then
displays
the
ad
only
to
users
who
meet
those
criteria.
At
any
time
you
can
unsubscribe
to
this
service.
Back

FAQ's
Do
EDA,
Inc.
Member
Sites
request
or
require
any
personal
financial
information?
Some
EDA,
Inc.
Member
Sites
offer
products
and
services
for
sale
in
their
online
store.
To
facilitate
payment,
the
Member
Site
will
request
personal
credit
or
debit
card
information.
To
take
advantage
of
other
value-added
services
that
may
be
offered
by
Members
Sites
in
the
future,
users
may
be
asked
to
supply
financial
information.

FAQ's
Will
EDA,
Inc.
Member
Sites
disclose
any
of
my
personal
information
to
third
parties?
No.
EDA,

will
not
disclose
any
of
your
personal
information,
except
with
your
knowledge
and

as

below,
or
as
may
be
required
by
law,
or
to
protect
the

EDA,

Member
Sites
do
reserve
the
right
to
disclose
aggregated
user
statistics,
such
as
"35
percent
of
our
users
are
female"
or
"8,000
members
indicate
an
interest
in
gardening"
to
describe
our
services
to
prospective
partners,
advertisers,
and
other
third
parties.
Under

of
confidentiality
agreements,
EDA,
Inc.
Member
Sites
may
match
common
user
information,
such
as
name,
address
and
phone
number,
with
third
party
data
to
avoid
duplication
and
prevent
errors.
Additionally,
if
you
click
away
from
EDA,
Inc.
Member
Sites
to
visit
the
site
of
any
third
party
advertiser
or
sponsor,
you
may
be
asked
for
your
credit

other
personal
information
in
order
purchase
or

products
and

offered.
These

policies
carefully

offerings
