privacy policies of merchants and other third parties before you provide any
personal information or complete any transaction with such parties.
3. Information We
Collect and How We Use It
180srch collects certain information from and about its users three ways:
directly from our Web Server logs, the user, and with Cookies.
a.
Web Server Logs.
When you visit our Website, we may track
information to administer the site and analyze its usage. Examples of
information we may track include:
- Your Internet protocol
address.
- The kind of browser or
computer you use.
- Number of links you click
within the site.
- State or country from which
you accessed the site.

b. Use of Cookies
180srch may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user
experience. A cookie is a small
text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs
or deliver viruses to your computer.
Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web Server
in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a
convenience feature to save you time.
For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a
cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent
visits. Hence, this simplifies the
process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing
and saving your preferences and login information as well as providing
personalized functionality..
180srch reserves the right to share aggregated site
statistics with partner companies, but does not allow other companies to place
cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value
(such as merging into 180srch.com a site that relies on third-party cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept
cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If
you reject cookies by changing your browser settings then be aware that this
may disable some of the functionality on our Website.
- Personal
Information Users
Visitors to our website can register to use our
services. When you register, we
will request some personal information such as email and mobile telephone and
other relevant information. If you
are purchasing a service, we will request financial information. Any financial information we collect is
used only to bill you for the services you purchased. If you purchase by credit card, this information may be
forwarded to your credit card provider. For other types of registrations, we
will ask for the relevant information. You may also be asked to disclose
personal information to us so that we can provide assistance and information to
you. For example, such data may be warranted in order to provide online
technical support and troubleshooting.
We will not disclose personally identifiable information we
collect from you to third parties without your permission except to the extent
necessary including:
§ To
fulfill your service requests for services.
§ To
protect ourselves from liability,
§ To
respond to legal process or comply with law, or
§ In
connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the company.
Using the Service, you agree and understand that 180srch
will display ads and other information related to the content of your use of
Service. While we may have humans employed in the process of transferring text,
no human will read the content of your use of the Service in order to specify
such advertisements.
4. Use of Web
Beacons or GIF files
180srch/ 180srch.com Web pages may contain electronic images
known as Web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow
180srch to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded
services. 180srch may include Web
beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine
whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party
service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising
campaigns or email communications.
These Web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a
persistent cookie on your computer.
This allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time
you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation
to those page views, which in turn enables us and our service providers to
learn which advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you use
the site. 180srch prohibits Web
beacons from being used to collect or access your personal information.
5. Accessing Web
Account Information
We will provide you with the means to ensure that personally
identifiable information in your web account file is correct and current. You may review this information by
contacting us by sending an email to our support attendant –

Statement

privacy statement. When we do, we
will also revise the “updated” date at the top of this Privacy page. We encourage you to periodically review
this privacy statement to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the
personal information we collect.
Your continued use of the service constitutes your agreement to this
privacy statement and any updates.
