PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: May 22, 2003
Home-Based-Business-Resources.com strives to offer its visitors the
many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive
and personalized experience. We may use Personally Identifiable
Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone
number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We will never
sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third
party. Period."
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are
visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the
services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide information
when you register for access to certain portions of our site or request
certain features, such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. You
may provide information when you participate in sweepstakes and
contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of
our site. Like most Web sites, home-based-business-resources.com
also collects information automatically and through the use of
electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example,
we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie
technology to recognize you and hold information from your visit. Among
other things, the cookie may store your user name and password, sparing
you from having to re-enter that information each time you visit, or
may control the number of times you encounter a particular
advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt additional
technology, we may also gather information through other means. In
certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for
example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you
do you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be
asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able
to customize the site’s features according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit
and deliver more individualized content and advertising. We respect
your privacy and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify
you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information
about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other
users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages
are visited most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated
Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and
business partners. Again, this information does not include any
Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to
identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on
home-based-business-resources.com to communicate with you about your
registration and customization preferences; our Terms of Service and
privacy policy; services and products offered by
home-based-business-resources.com and other topics we think you might
find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by
home-based-business-resources.com may also be used for other purposes,
including but not limited to site administration, troubleshooting,
processing of e-commerce transactions, administration of sweepstakes
and contests, and other communications with you. Certain third parties
who provide technical support for the operation of our site (our Web
hosting service for example) may access such information. We will use
your information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to
time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or
partner with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user
information may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose
your information in response to a court order, at other times when we
believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with
the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement
authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note
we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
Home-Based-Business-Resources.com expects its partners, advertisers and
affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that
third parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and
other content providers accessible through our site, may have their own
privacy and data collection policies and practices. For example, during
your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a
home-based-business-resources.com page, certain content that is
actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through
home-based-business-resources.com you may be introduced to, or be able
to access, information, Web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes
offered by other parties. Home-Based-Business-Resources.com is not
responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You
should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties
when providing information on a feature or page operated by a third
party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third
parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some
of your preferences or retrieve information about you. For example,
some of our advertising is served by third parties and may include
cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a
particular advertisement before. Other features available on our site
may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies or
other technology to gather information.
Home-Based-Business-Resources.com does not control the use of this
technology by third parties or the resulting information, and is not
responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally
Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas, that
information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by
third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited
messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are
beyond the control of home-based-business-resources.com and this policy.
Children
Home-Based-Business-Resources.com does not knowingly collect or solicit
Personally Identifiable Information from or about children under 13
except as permitted by law. If we discover we have received any
information from a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we will
delete that information immediately. If you believe

policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes.

rules and laws that applied at the time the information was collected.
