Welcome to AlbertoFrancis.com, owned and produced by AlbertoFrancis.com, Inc. and its subsidiary and affiliate corporations, successors, and assigns. All Products and Services on AlbertoFrancis.com (as defined in our Terms and Conditions) are made available subject to this Privacy Policy. By using our Products and Services, you agree, without limitation or qualification, to be bound by this Privacy Policy or any other privacy or data collection policy applicable to any individual Alberto Francis site and to receive any required legal notices regarding our privacy practices through the continuous posting of a clear and conspicuous link to the current version of this Privacy Policy throughout AlbertoFrancis.com near the bottom of most pages. If you become an inactive user, we will adhere to the policies and practices as described in this Privacy Policy, which may be revised from time to time.

WHAT INFORMATION OF YOURS DOES ALBERTOFRANCIS.COM COLLECT?
Our goal is to become your favorite Internet destination by providing the information, services, and product offerings that are most relevant to you. To achieve this goal, AlbertoFrancis.com must collect information so we can understand what makes you different from its millions of other unique users. While you are not required to register for any services on the AlbertoFrancis.com, some products and services may not function properly or may not be accessible unless you do.

Information collected online is usually defined as being either anonymous or personally identifiable. Anonymous information refers to data that cannot be tied back to a specific individual. For example, AlbertoFrancis.com collects some information each time a visitor comes to AlbertoFrancis.com so we can improve the overall quality of the visitor’s online experience. AlbertoFrancis.com collects the visitor’s IP address (e.g., whether the user is logged on from ibm.com or aol.com), referral data (e.g., the Internet address of the last Web page visited by a user before clicking over to AlbertoFrancis.com), and browser and platform type (e.g., a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform). AlbertoFrancis.com collects this user information for purposes of product monitoring, product improvement, and targeted advertising. You do not have to register with the AlbertoFrancis.com before we can collect this anonymous information.

Personally identifiable information refers to data that tells us specifically who you are, such as your name and postal address, which may be collected in addition to the anonymous data described above. AlbertoFrancis.com collects personal information in the following ways from different parts of its network of Web sites:

a.Registration: We may ask you for personal information at times, including when you enter a sweepstakes, contest or promotion sponsored by the AlbertoFrancis.com. If you choose not to provide the requested information, the AlbertoFrancis.com may not be able to offer you some of the personalized services that depend on this type of information to function

b.Correspondence: If you contact the AlbertoFrancis.com, we may keep a record of that correspondence. We do not collect any email addresses of those who communicate with the AlbertoFrancis.com via email. We use the information provided so that we may respond to the email.

When you use Products and Services designed to post or transmit content (e.g. Game-Set-Match, The Francis File, etc.), that content is necessarily stored in our computers for varying periods of time and associated with the registration information for your account. AlbertoFrancis.com will not use or disclose such content except as described in this Privacy Policy.


WHAT ORGANIZATION IS COLLECTING THE INFORMATION?
When you register for a service within the AlbertoFrancis.com, that information is generally collected and maintained solely by the AlbertoFrancis.com unless specifically stated otherwise at the point of collection. If data is collected and/or maintained by any company other than AlbertoFrancis.com, we will tell you at the point of collection. If you do not want to share your information with that company, you can choose not to use that service.

AlbertoFrancis.com may run promotions. These promotions may be sponsored or co-sponsored by third-party companies. Data collected during a promotion is typically shared with the sponsor or co-sponsor. AlbertoFrancis.com will inform you at the point of collection whether or not we are sharing your personal data as a result of your participation in a promotion or sweepstakes. If you do not want to have the AlbertoFrancis.com share your data, you can choose not to participate in the promotion or sweepstakes.

Be aware that AlbertoFrancis.com sponsors and other advertisers have links on the network that take you to external sites. Some of these sites may collect personally identifiable information from you and may use cookies and Web beacons. While AlbertoFrancis.com hopes that all third parties involved adhere to our policies regarding the privacy of our users, the AlbertoFrancis.com Privacy Policy does not cover third-party data collection practices and the AlbertoFrancis.com does not assume any responsibility for any actions of third parties.


WHAT ARE "COOKIES" AND "WEB BEACONS" AN DHOW DOES ALBERTOFRANCIS.COM USE THEM?
In addition to the personally identifiable information that AlbertoFrancis.com actively collects when you register, we also collect anonymous information passively using cookies. This technology plays an important role in making the Internet work, but there is much confusion among Internet users about what cookies and Web beacons are and how they are used.

A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred from a Web site to the hard drive of your computer so that the site administrator may identify your computer and passively track its activities on the Web site. This unique number identifies your Web browser to our computer system whenever you visit AlbertoFrancis.com. A cookie will not allow a Web site to learn any personally identifiable information (such as your real name and address) that you have not otherwise disclosed.

Cookies allow AlbertoFrancis.com to automatically remember your Web browser when you visit our Network of Web sites. To help serve you better, AlbertoFrancis.com generally uses cookies to allow us to deliver products and services more efficiently. By storing certain registration and preference information on cookies or associating cookies with registration, preference or profile information stored on our computers, we can deliver products and services that use such information more quickly and efficiently for more users. This information is normally saved in an encrypted form that only AlbertoFrancis.com can interpret.

Prevent others from using your account. On some AlbertoFrancis.com sites, cookies help us efficiently determine that only one user is logged on under the same member name at a time.

Measure statistics such as audience size and traffic patterns. This information is only collected an aggregate form and will not be linked to your personally identifiable information.

Display advertisements. Cookies let us know whether or not a Web browser has seen a particular advertisement (so we can show you a variety of material) and count the number of advertisements displayed to a particular browser. We also use cookies to customize the advertising you see based on non-personally identifiable demographic information that you provide when you register.

The use of cookies is an industry standard, and they are currently used on most major Web sites. It is possible to adjust your Web browser preferences to alert you when a cookie is sent to your hard drive, or to refuse cookies altogether. While AlbertoFrancis.com does not require you to use cookies, keep in mind that certain sites and services will not function properly if you set your browser to refuse all cookies.

We do not track what pages individual users are browsing, but rather how well each page performs overall.

HOW DOES ALBERTOFRANCIS.COM COMPLY WITH THE CHILDREN'S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT (COPPA)?
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) of 1998 provides safeguards to protect children who use the Internet by regulating the online collection of personal information from children under the age of 13. Because of these safeguards, children under 13 are not able to access or use all Products and Services on AlbertoFrancis.com. Parents of children under 13 can authorize their children to use some of our services by contacting us.
