Options Privacy Policy
Effective Date: February 24, 2005
Trilegiant Corporation has created this privacy policy statement
in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to our visitors’ and
customers’ privacy. The following discloses our information gathering,
use and dissemination practices for GreatOptions.com.
Who We Are
Trilegiant Corporation
Address: 100 Connecticut Ave.
Norwalk, CT 06850-3561
Telephone: 1-877-259-2689
Customer Service e-mail:

Personal and Non-Personal Information
When visiting the greatoptions.com Web site and other Trilegiant
Corporation related sites, in order to join, make a purchase, register
to use certain services, enter a contest, respond to a survey or
update your information you may be asked to provide certain personally
identifiable information ("Personal Information") about yourself,
such as your name, e-mail address, physical address, telephone number,
date of birth, mother’s maiden name or social security number. For
purchases, we require a name, physical address, telephone number,
and credit card number. You may review and revise any personal information
we have about you by sending a request to us at the address above
or calling 1-877-259-2689. We may also request non-personally identifiable
information ("Aggregate Information"), such as annual income, buying
preferences, or your age. Providing this demographic and profile
type of information is optional. This information is collected anonymously,
so we have information about everyone as a group who answered the
questions, rather than Personal Information about a single individual's
responses.
Information Usage
We use Personal Information to fulfill orders and to contact a purchaser
when necessary, such as when a delivery may be delayed or when an
ordered product is out of stock. We may also use this information
to notify consumers about new products or services and special promotions
offered by Great Options or any of its affiliates. We may share Personal Information relating to your transactions or experience with us, with our affiliates, such as the other membership services operated by Trilegiant Corporation and its affiliates (including those existing currently or in the future). From time to
time, we may also share your Personal Information with trustworthy
unaffiliated third parties, who offer products or services that
we feel may be of interest to you.
We may use Aggregate Information to improve and enhance your experience
on the GreatOptions.com web site. For example, we may use certain
preferences you provide to tailor your experience at our site, such
as showing you content and sending you notices concerning merchandise
and services that may interest you. We may also share this Aggregate
Information with other unaffiliated third parties, such as advertisers
interested in advertising on the GreatOptions.com web site, in an
aggregate, anonymous form, which means that the shared information
will not contain nor be linked to any personally identifiable information
about you or any other person.
We will never share your credit card information with an unaffiliated
third party without your consent.
Opt-Out Process
If you do not want us to share your Personal Information with unaffiliated third parties, you can send us an email at SERVICE@GREATOPTIONS.COM with the subject line "Privacy Policy." Please include your User Name and the words "block from third parties" in the email message.
Your California Privacy Rights
Under California Law, California residents have the right to request in writing from business with whom they have an established business relationship, (1) a list of the categories of personal information, such as name, address, e-mail address, and the type of services provided to the customer, that a business has disclosed to third parties (including affiliates that are separate legal entities) during the immediately preceding calendar year for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes, and (2) the names and addresses of all such third parties. To request the above information, please e-mail us at: CARequests@trilegiant.com or write to us at: Trilegiant Corporation Attn: Dept – SB27, 40 Oakview Dr., Trumbull, CT 06611-4724.
We will respond to such written requests within 30 days following receipt at the e-mail or mailing address stated above. If we receive your request at a different e-mail or mailing address, we will respond within a reasonable period of time, but not to exceed 150 days from the date received. Please note that we are only required to respond to each customer once per calendar year.
Cookies
"Cookies" are pieces of information that may be placed on your computer
by a web site for the purpose of facilitating and enhancing your
communication and interaction with that web site. Almost all web
sites use cookies for these purposes.
We may use cookies (a) to customize your visit to the GreatOptions.com
web site and your shopping experience, (b) to deliver content consistent
with your stated interests and the manner in which you browse and/or
buy on our site, (c) to save your password (if you have registered
with us) so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our
site, and (d) to make your visit more convenient.
At times, some of our third party advertisers or their ad serving
and tracking providers may place cookies on your computer system
when you select their ad banner and some of our content providers
or partners may also place cookies on your computer system when
you visit those portions of our GreatOptions.com site over which
they have control. We have no control over these third party cookies
and we do not receive the data collected by those cookies. In addition,
we reserve the right to supplement the cookie data which we collect
from you with information collected by cookies set by third parties
on our behalf in order to understand how you use the Internet and
what products are of interest to you. The information that we receive
from these unaffiliated third parties is only Aggregate Information
(i.e., anonymous, non-personally identifiable information).
You may stop or restrict the placement of cookies on your computer
or flush them from your browser by adjusting your web browser preferences,
in which case you may still use our site, but it may interfere with
some of its functionality. We do not use cookies to retrieve information
from your computer for purposes that are unrelated to the GreatOptions.com
web site.
Internet Protocol (IP) Address
We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our
server and to administer our web site. Your IP address may also
be used to help identify you and your shopping cart for the duration
of a session visit and to gather broad demographic information.
Your IP address will never be linked to any Personal Information
unless you are in the process of making a purchase, in which case
the link between this information will terminate upon completion
of your final purchase.
Clickstream
As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left
at each web site you visit. This information, which is sometimes
referred to as "clickstream data", can be collected and stored by
a web site’s server. Clickstream data can tell us the type of computer
and browsing software you use, the address of the Web site from
which you linked to the greatoptions.com web site, and, in some
instances, your e-mail address. We may use clickstream data as a
form of Aggregate Information (see section 3 above) to anonymously
determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our site,
how visitors navigate throughout the site and how we may tailor
our web pages to better meet the needs of visitors. This information
will only be used to improve our web sites. Any collection or use
of clickstream data will be anonymous and aggregate, and will not
contain any Personal Information.
Consent To Processing
By providing any Personal Information to this site, you fully understand
and unambiguously consent to the collection, usage and processing
of such information in the United States.
Other Sites
Our sites may contain links to other sites. Other sites may also
reference or link to our sites. We do not endorse and are not responsible
for the privacy practices or the content of such other sites.
Security
The security of your Personal Information is very important to us.
We attempt to provide for the secure transmission of your information
from your PC to our servers by utilizing encryption software. However,
due to the inherent open nature of the Internet, we can not guarantee
that communications between you and Trilegiant Corporation will
be free from unauthorized access by third parties, such as hackers.
Your use of the greatoptions.com site demonstrates your acknowledgment
and acceptance of this risk. Only those Trilegiant Corporation employees
who need access to your information in order to perform their duties
are allowed access to your Personal Information. Any employee who
violates our privacy and/or security policies may be subject to
disciplinary action, including possible termination and civil and/or
criminal prosecution.
Your Acceptance of this Policy
By using this site, you signify your assent to our Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please do not
use our Great Options site. This Privacy Policy supersedes all privacy policies and other similar standards previously issued by us. Since the privacy standards set forth herein are subject to updates and other changes and other changes from time to time, please note that this Privacy Policy is subject to change at any time. In the even of any such changes, we will notify all of our members and other customers of such changes in the manner and to the extent required by law. Your continued use of our site following the changes to these
terms means you accept these changes and agree to be bound by them.
