Park Hill Systems Privacy Policy

1ClickRecommend is a Service which enables you to forward the URL of a Web site or Web page to other users who approve you, and receive the URL of a Web site or Web page which other users you approve send you.

1ClickRecommend knows that you care about how your personal information is used and shared and we take your privacy very seriously. The following policy summarizes the various ways that Park Hill Systems (“Park Hill Systems”, “we” or “our”) treats the information you (“you”, “your”) provide when using the 1ClickRecommend Web site.  Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy. By visiting the 1ClickRecommend Web site or using the 1ClickRecommend service you are accepting the practices outlined in this privacy policy.

This privacy policy applies whether you sign up as a Viewer or a Web master.  Clauses specific to Web Masters begin with “If you are a Web Master”. Clauses specific to Viewers begin with “If you are a viewer”. Where neither of these appears, the clauses apply to both Web Masters as well as Viewers.

This privacy policy covers 1ClickRecommends treatment of personal information that 1ClickRecommend collects when you are on the 1ClickRecommend Web site and when you use the 1ClickRecommend service. This policy does not apply to the practices that 1ClickRecommend does not own or control, or individuals that 1ClickRecommend does not own or manage. This Privacy Policy does not cover information collected elsewhere, including without limitation offline and on sites linked to or from the website or referrals. If you cannot agree with the Terms and Conditions of the Privacy Policy, please do not use the Web site.

In addition to reviewing the Privacy Policy, please read our Terms of Service. Your use of the web site constitutes agreement to its Terms and Conditions as well. This Privacy Policy may be modified from time to time; the date of the most recent revision will appear on this page. Please check back often. Continued access of the web site by you will constitute your acceptance of any changes or revision to the Privacy Policy.

Information collected by 1ClickRecommend

We only collect personal information that is relevant to the purpose of our web site, which is to enable users to discover and share information with one another. This information allows us to provide you with a customized and efficient experience. We do not process this information in a way that is incompatible with this objective. We collect the following types of information from our 1ClickRecommend users.

  1. Information you provide to us: We record and store any information you enter on our web site or provide to us in any way. You can choose not to provide us with information, but then you may not be able to use our services.
    • Registration: In order for you to use the 1ClickRecommend service, such as referring a link to a user you approve or receiving a link referred from a user you approve, you must complete a registration form. In part of this registration form, we require the following personal information: Real name, email address and an access password. If you sign up as a Web Masters, you will be required to provide an email address with the domain of the site you are registering.

  2. Automatic information:
    • We record and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us, including without limitation the type of browser software you use, the operating system you are running, the web site that referred you, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, date and time of request, 1ClickRecommend cookie information and the page that you requested. 1ClickRecommend uses the data to help diagnose problems with the service, analyze trends and administer the Web site. You IP address is usually associated with the place from which you enter the Internet, like your Internet Service Provider, your computer or university.
    • 1ClickRecommend may collect and, on any page, display total counts that the page has been viewed.
    • Many companies offer programmes that help you to view web sites anonymously. While 1ClickRecommend will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these programmes are available.

How we use the information collected from you.

Because 1ClickRecommend enables people to discover and share information with one another, information about the people who use 1ClickRecommend is an integral part of the 1ClickRecommend experience.

Whether you are a viewer or Web master, rest assured that we neither rent, nor sell your personal information to anyone and that we will share your personal information only as detailed below.

If you are a viewer, rest assured that a web site in no way has access to your or your contacts details at any stage in the process or anywhere else on the site, A web site cannot directly approach you through this site in any way. A web site will not and cannot know you referred it or who you referred it to. A web site or your contacts do now know who the other contacts on your list are or what sites you refereed or to whom you referred these sites to or the number of sites you referred. Your personal contact data is not used anywhere in the process except to deliver referrals sent to you.

If you are a Web Master, rest assured that no viewer comes across your private information, and cannot contact you through information on the site. 1ClickRecommend however does maintain a list of the top 1000 sites recommend daily. This will display the URL of your site and other details but not your personal data.

  • We use your username & password to grant you access to your account, and parts of the site that are password protected.
  • We display your Real Name, Email address & Username on the following password protected pages.
    • http://www.1clickrecommend.com/contacts/ – which displays contacts on a user list.
    • http://www.1clickrecommend.com/contacts/new.requests.asp – which displays requests you make to other users to add yourself to their list of contacts.
    • http://www.1clickrecommend.com/contacts/manage.contacts.asp – which enables a user to block, unblock contacts on their lists.
      This is done in order to enable the other user to easily and accurately identify you, since a username or real name alone may not be enough and can be confusing, misleading or insufficient to take a decision. Other than the pages mentioned above, 1ClickRecommend does not use or display your Real name or email or other information on any pages on the 1ClickRecommend web site or in the process of referring a Web page / sites URL to you.
  • In addition, all referrals you receive by email will contain your email and username
  • In addition, all referrals you send will display your username as the sender in the body of the email.
  • 1ClickRecommend personnel: 1ClickRecommend personnel and authorized consultants and / or contractors may have access to user information if necessary in the normal course of 1ClickRecommend business.
  • We also allow access to our database by third parties that provide us with services, such as technical maintenance teams, server administrators but only for the purpose of and to the extent necessary to provide those services.
  • In addition, we reserve the right to use the information we collect about your computer, which may at times be able to identify you, for any lawful business purpose, including without limitation to help diagnose problems with our servers, to gather broad demographic information, and to otherwise administer our Website.
  • Member Directory: The e-mail address that you submit upon registration will be searchable by other 1ClickRecommend users who know you by your email address. You do not have the option to opt out of this feature. This is primarily so that other users can find you to establish friendship through 1ClickRecommend.
  • Your email address will be used at your request to send you a copy of your user name and password.
  • We may also provide access to our database in order to cooperate with official investigations or legal proceedings, including, for example, in response to subpoenas, search warrants, court orders, or other legal process.
  • We may release personal information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with a law; to enforce or apply our Terms of Service and other policies; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of 1ClickRecommend, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
  • While your personally identifying information is protected as outlined above, we reserve the right to use, transfer, sell, and share aggregated, anonymous data about our users as a group for any business purpose, such as analyzing usage trends and seeking compatible advertisers and partners.
  • When you send email or other communication to Park Hill Systems, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve our services.
  • Business Transfers: In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if Park Hill Systems, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred.
