Privacy Policy |
PCHelpdesksupport.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. Please note
this policy applies only to information collected by
PCHelpdesksupport.com online and does not impact information
collected or used by PCHelpdesksupport.com or its affiliates through
other means.
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. You can visit many pages on our site without
providing any information. Other pages may prompt you to provide
information, such as when you register for access to portions of our
site, sign up for membership, request certain features (e.g.,
newsletters, news updates and other products), sign up for a
newspaper subscription or make a purchase. You may also provide
information when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, voting
and polling activities, message boards and chat rooms and other
interactive areas of our site. Like most Web sites,
PCHelpdesksupport.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. 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 doing so may limit
your ability to access certain portions of the site or may require
you to re-enter your user name and password. Additionally we may not
be able to customize the site's features according to your
preferences.
What we do with the information we collect.
We will use your information only as permitted by law. Aggregated
Information (information that does not personally identify you) may
be used in many ways. As one example, we may combine information
about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from
other users 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, but cannot be
used to contact you individually.
We also collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more
individualized content and advertising. For example, we may use
Personally Identifiable Information collected on
PCHelpdesksupport.com to communicate with you regarding our Terms of
Service and privacy policy, products and services offered by
PCHelpdesksupport.com and other Tribune Company affiliates and
partners, administration of sweepstakes and contests, processing
e-commerce transactions and other topics we think you might find of
interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by
PCHelpdesksupport.com may also be used for other purposes including
but not limited to site administration and troubleshooting. Certain
third parties who provide technical support for the operation of our
site (our Web hosting service and our newsletter provider, for
example) may access such information.
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
whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary to give such
information to law enforcement authorities. Please note we may not
provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements.
PCHelpdesksupport.com expects its partners, advertisers and
third-party affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. However,
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 PCHelpdesksupport.com page, certain content that is
actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through
PCHelpdesksupport.com you may be introduced to, or be able to
access, information, Web sites, advertisements, features, contests
or sweepstakes offered by other parties. PCHelpdesksupport.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. Through features
available on our site, third parties may use cookies or other
technology to gather information. PCHelpdesksupport.com does not
control the use of this technology or the resulting information and
is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third
parties.
A cookie gets entered by your Web browser into the "Cookies" folder
on your hard drive after you close your browser, and may be used by
your browser on subsequent visits to the Site. We use persistent and
session cookies to analyze and enhance your experience on the Site,
and use third party ad technology to serve ads. The data that is
collected is the property of PCHelpdesksupport.com, not the third
party. We also allow third parties called ad networks or ad servers
to serve ads to you on PCHelpdesksupport.com. Cookies enable them to
compile information about where you, or others who have used your
computer, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are
clicked on. This information makes it possible for the ad
technology, ad servers and ad networks to deliver targeted
advertisements to you on PCHelpdesksupport.com.
PCHelpdesksupport.com does not have access to the cookies that may
be placed on your computer by third-party ad technology, ad servers
or ad networks.
Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online. Should
you choose to voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable
Information on our site, such as in message boards, chat areas or in
advertising or notices you post, 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 PCHelpdesksupport.com and this policy.

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

Any claim related to the Site or this policy shall be brought in a
