Welcome to the MyTownOffers™ (“MyTownOffers,”, “Website”, "we" or "us") website at www.mytownoffers.com (the "Website”). This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) covers MyTownOffers' treatment of personally identifiable information that MyTownOffers collects when you are on the Website. It is important that our users are fully informed about the use of their personal information. MyTownOffers believes in 100% permission-based marketing. For each user, our web server automatically recognizes the user’s domain name and IP address, but not the e-mail address (unless supplied by a user to obtain a membership). All users of our Website may browse selected portions of the Website without entering any personal information.

1. Collection of Information at MyTownOffers: To access our coupons, offers or services we must gather personal information from you in order to establish your MyTownOffers membership account, such as your first and last name, e-mail address, telephone number and other demographic information. We may also collect credit/debit card information for payment and/or age verification purposes.

2. Use of Information Obtained by MyTownOffers: The information that you submit to MyTownOffers remains your property, but by submitting the information to MyTownOffers you grant us the right to use such information for marketing purposes including, but not limited to, sharing such information with third parties. MyTownOffers may also use such information to directly market certain offers to you including, without limitation, via e-mail marketing, telemarketing, direct mail and text messaging, to monitor compliance with our Terms and Conditions and for content improvement and feedback purposes. We may sell the personal information that you supply to us and we may join together with other businesses to bring selected retail opportunities to our users. These businesses may include, but are not limited to: (a) providers of online, e-mail and direct mail marketing services and applications including, without limitation, lookup and reference, data enhancement, suppression and validation; and (b) providers of telemarketing services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a California state resident you may opt-out from having your personal information transferred to third parties for use is such third parties' direct marketing efforts by sending a written e-mail request to customerservice@mytownoffers.com. However, where California residents opt-out from permitting their personal information to be shared, such individuals may still receive selected offers directly from MyTownOffers, in accordance with the law. In addition, MyTownOffers reserves the right to release user information: (a) in the event that we believe that the Website is being or has been used in violation of the Terms and Conditions or to commit unlawful acts; (b) if the information is subpoenaed; or (c) if MyTownOffers is sold or acquired. Moreover, you hereby consent to disclosure of any record or communication to any third party when MyTownOffers, in its sole discretion, determines the disclosure to be appropriate including, without limitation, sharing your e-mail address with other third parties for suppression purposes in compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, as amended from time to time.

In addition, you agree that by sending a supplying credit card information, such act constitutes a purchase, inquiry and/or application for purposes of the Amended Telemarketing Sales Rule, 16 CFR §310 et seq. (the "Rule"). Notwithstanding that your telephone number may be listed on the Federal Trade Commission's Do-Not-Call List, MyTownOffers retains the right to contact you via telemarketing in accordance with the Rule. Moreover, by registering with, or requesting information from, a third-party advertiser at or through the Website, such action shall constitute an inquiry and/or application with the respective third-party advertiser for purposes of the Rule and you may be contacted via e-mail, direct mail and/or telemarketing by such third-party advertiser in accordance with the Rule.

In addition, by submitting your credit card information to us, you authorize MyTownOffers to periodically verify that your credit card account continues to be a valid and active one by various methods including, without limitation, charging and, thereafter immediately crediting, a small sum to the card. Such verification may be conducted through a third party and, in that case, MyTownOffers will share your specific credit card information with this third party for verification purposes. Apart from the foregoing uses, MyTownOffers and its affiliates and/or subsidiaries reserve the right to share with third parties the fact that they have credit card information on file for specific users but they will not share the specific credit card information with third parties without the user's prior authorization.

3. User Information Collected to Enhance the Users Experience and Allow for Website Functionality: We gather our users’ server, IP address and browser-type related information in the general administration of our Website.

A cookie is a piece of data stored on a user's hard drive containing information about the respective user or user. Cookies can provide great convenience for our users. For instance, by setting a cookie on our Website, a user would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our Website. However, even in the case where an existing user rejects a cookie, he/she may still use our Website. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in what he/she can access in some areas on our Website. We also use cookies and pixel gifs to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website and/or for advertising tracking purposes.

4. Security Measures in Place to Protect User Information: MyTownOffers takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When a user submits sensitive personal and payment information via the Website, the information is protected both online and off-line. When our registration prompts a user to enter personnel information (such as a name, address or phone number), the information is encrypted and is protected with industry-standard encryption (SSL). In addition, we enhance our data protection when collecting more sensitive information (such as credit card or social security number) using Triple DES encryption for technology. While we use encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information off-line. Access to user information is restricted in our offices and areas where such information is stored. Only employees who need access to the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. If you have any questions about the security at our Website, please contact us via e-mail at customerservice@mytownoffers.com.

MyTownOffers users who no longer wish to receive a newsletter or other promotional materials from us or our partners may opt-out of receiving these communications by following the instructions contained in the applicable e-mail or by changing their user preferences once logged on.
