The Gales Network PRIVACY POLICY

The Gales Network, LLC, (referred to as "TGN," "we," "us," or "our") recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of certain information ("Information") collected about our Clients, prospective clients and any visitor (referred to as "Clients," "you" or "your") to our website (the “Website”). This privacy statement discloses what information we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it. It is our intention to give you an understanding about how we collect and use your Information in the course of our business.

TGN gathers two types of information about you: data that you may provide through optional, voluntary registration on our Website; and data we gather through aggregated tracking, mainly by tallying page views throughout our Website. Such information enables us to tailor our content to fit Clients' and prospective clients’ needs. TGN will not disclose personal Information to third parties without your consent, except as may be noted in this Privacy Policy or disclosed to you when the Information is submitted.

How does TGN collect Information?

Optional registration

We collect information by specifically requesting it from you. Generally this occurs when you register at a website or request information or a service. Usually, our website uses your information to deliver services. Our website also uses your information to inform you about other products or services available from TGN.

Usage tracking

Use of Internet Protocol ("IP") Addresses:

An IP address is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Internet so that your computer can be identified by the main computers, known as "Web servers," that "serve up" Web pages.

TGN and/or its affiliates collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to audit the use of our Website. When you request pages from TGN’s and/or its affiliates' Websites, our servers log your IP address. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that your session will be logged, but you will remain anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify you when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our Website Terms Of Use or to protect our service, Website, Clients or others.

Use Of Cookies

By showing how and when you use our Website, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the Website are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the information from cookies to provide services better tailored to our Clients' needs.

Most cookies expire after a defined period of time, or you can delete your cookie file at any time. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some parts of TGN’s and/or its affiliates' services may not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies.

With whom does TGN share my Information?

As a general rule, TGN will not disclose any specific personal information that you submit to us about you ("Personal Information") in a manner that connects you with the Personal Information, except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described below.

TGN may disclose account Information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this Information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating TGN terms of use or terms of service, or may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with any of TGN’s rights or property, TGN Clients, or anyone else. TGN may disclose or access account Information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.

How can you control the usage of Information?

In case you change your mind or some Personal Information changes (such as your Zip Code or e-mail address), we will try to provide a way to correct, update or remove the Personal Information that you give us. We will also give you the opportunity to control the communications we direct to you. We offer you the opportunity to "opt out" of having Personal Information shared with parties outside of TGN and/or its affiliated companies. If a Customer wishes to update Personal Information or objects to any usage provided herein for any reason, he/she may e-mail the requested change to: help@galesnetwork.com

What happens when you link to a third party website?

You should be aware that when you are on TGN’s and/or its affiliates' Websites you could hyperlink or be directed to other websites that are beyond our control and/or outside our service. For example, if you "click" on a link, the "click" may transfer you off our Website. These other websites may include websites of sponsors and partners that may use TGN’s and/or its affiliates' logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other websites may send their own cookies to you, collect data, or solicit Information.

TGN and its affiliates do not control such websites, and, therefore, are not responsible for their contents or the hyperlinks or advertising they choose to place on such websites. TGN’s and/or its affiliates' inclusion of hyperlinks to these websites do not imply any endorsement of the material on such websites or any association with their operators. TGN’s policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, which is beyond TGN’s and its affiliates' control.

Please keep in mind that whenever you give out information online (for example, via message boards or chat) that information can be collected and used by people you don't know. While TGN and its affiliates strive to protect your information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online, and you disclose such information at your own risk.

Is my Information secure from others using the TGN website?

The importance of security of all information associated with you is an important concern to us. We exercise care in providing secure transmission of your information from your computer to our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, TGN and its affiliates can't ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, TGN uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet.

YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS

By using this website, you signify your agreement to TGN's Privacy Policy. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE. Your continued use of TGN’s and/or its affiliates' websites following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
