Sardi.net Privacy Policy

What This Privacy Policy Covers

• This policy covers how Sardi.net treats personal information that Sardi.net collects and receives, including information related to your past use of Sardi.net products and services. Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly available.
• This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Sardi.net does not own or control, or to people that Sardi.net does not employ or manage.

Information Collection and Use

General

• Sardi.net collects personal information when you register with Sardi.net, when you use Sardi.net products or services, when you visit Sardi.net pages or the pages of certain Sardi.net partners, and when you enter promotions or sweepstakes. Sardi.net may combine information about you that we have with information we obtain from business partners or other companies.
• When you register we ask for information such as your name, email address, birth date, gender, ZIP code, occupation, industry, and personal interests. When you register with Sardi.net and sign in to our services, you are not anonymous to us.
• Sardi.net collects information about your transactions with us and with some of our business partners, including information about your use of financial products and services that we offer.
• Sardi.net automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, Sardi.net cookie information, and the page you request.
• Sardi.net uses information for the following general purposes: to customize the advertising and content you see, fulfill your requests for products and services, improve our services, contact you, conduct research, and provide anonymous reporting for internal and external clients.

Children

• Sardi.net does not allow signup to children under the age of 13.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

• Sardi.net does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or non-affiliated companies except to provide products or services you've requested, when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:
  • We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with Sardi.net under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help Sardi.net communicate with you about offers from Sardi.net and our marketing partners. However, these companies do not have any independent right to share this information.
  • We have a parent's permission to share the information if the user is a child under age 13. Parents have the option of allowing Sardi.net to collect and use their child's information without consenting to Sardi.net sharing of this information with people and companies who may use this information for their own purposes.
  • We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
  • We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Sardi.net's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
  • We transfer information about you if Sardi.net is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, Sardi.net will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
• Sardi.net displays targeted advertisements based on personal information. Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who interact with, view, or click targeted ads meet the targeting criteria—for example, women ages 18-24 from a particular geographic area.
  • Sardi.net does not provide any personal information to the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad. However, by interacting with or viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the ad.
  • Sardi.net advertisers include financial service providers (such as banks, insurance agents, stock brokers and mortgage lenders) and non-financial companies (such as stores, airlines, and software companies).
• Sardi.net works with vendors, partners, advertisers, and other service providers in different industries and categories of business.

Cookies

• Sardi.net may set and access Sardi.net cookies on your computer.
• Sardi.net lets other companies that show advertisements on some of our pages set and access their cookies on your computer. Other companies' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers or other companies do not have access to Sardi.net's cookies.
• Sardi.net uses web beacons to access Sardi.net cookies inside and outside our network of web sites and in connection with Sardi.net products and services.
