InterestMIX Privacy Policy

In short, we do care about your privacy. Some of the basics of our policy include:

Below is our privacy policy, which incorporates these goals.

Website visitors

Like most website operators, InterestMIX collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. InterestMIX’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how InterestMIX visitors use its website. From time to time, InterestMIX may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, but it will be rare. InterestMIX also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. InterestMIX does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of personally-identifying information

Certain visitors to InterestMIX.com or related applications may choose to interact with the Website in ways that require InterestMIX to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that InterestMIX gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up to review and contribute content at InterestMIX.com to provide an email address and name. Those who engage in providing further information to InterestMIX (e.g. entering their ZIP code, gender, etc.) are able to give such information to InterestMIX with the intention of a) displaying more information about themselves to interested parties, b) improving their ease of making transactions on other sites (e.g. clicking through to find restaurants in your area with your ZIP code pre-populated). In all cases, InterestMIX collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with InterestMIX. InterestMIX does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated statistics

InterestMIX may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, InterestMIX may monitor the most popular users on InterestMIX.com site. InterestMIX may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, InterestMIX does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of certain personally-identifying information

InterestMIX discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on InterestMIX’s behalf or to provide services available at InterestMIX’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using InterestMIX’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. InterestMIX will not (see: never, ever, ever) rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, InterestMIX discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when InterestMIX believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of InterestMIX, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of website and have supplied your email address, InterestMIX may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with InterestMIX. Of course, you can turn these off at any point when editing your profile. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. InterestMIX takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
