Privacy Policy

Copeys Virtual Mall has created this privacy policy statement in order to demonstrate our commitment to privacy. The following discloses the information gathering and dissemination practice for the Copeys Virtual Mall Web site (www.copeysvirtualmall.com). Using the Internet should be a fun experience and we want to help you make it so.

When you reserve or purchase services through Copeys Virtual Mall, we will ask you to provide us with personal information, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, credit card information and other personal identifying information. We need this information in order to process your orders and need to share this personal information with the relevant involved third partys. Credit card information is not stored by the Copeys Virtual Mall Web site.

As a user of Copeys Virtual Mall, you have the option to engage in certain additional activities on the site, such as entering contests or sweepstakes, or receiving our e-mail alerts. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage in these activities, however, Copeys Virtual Mall may require you to provide us with personal information, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, and other personal identifying information. Copeys Virtual Mall needs to collect this personal information for various reasons, which may include: (i) notifying sweepstake or contest winners, (ii) fulfilling prizes; (ii) disseminating our e-mail; (iii) aggregating statistical information; and (iv) tracking/verifying compliance with Copeys Virtual Mall policies and federal, state and local laws.

Copeys Virtual Mall recognizes and respects the importance of responsible use of your personal information. If you do not want the information you provide to Copeys Virtual Mall to be used to inform you of other products and special offers from merchants, and you indicate this preference when you provide the information, Copeys Virtual Mall will honor your preference. In case you change your mind or some personal information may change (such as your zip code), we provide a way to correct, update or remove the personal data you give us. You can do this at the member information page or by contacting our Customer Support organization at [email protected]

OPTING-OUT

To keep you in control of your personal information and the communications directed to you, we allow you to opt-out of receiving communications from Copeys Virtual Mall about new features or services. If a guest objects to such use for any reason, you may stop that use, either by e-mail request to [email protected] or by modifying your member information online.

USE OF COOKIES

You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers. Copeys Virtual Mall does not have access or control these cookies. The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is standard in the Internet industry.

USE OF TRAFFIC DATA

Each time a visitor comes to our Web site, we collect some information to improve the overall quality of the online experience. At the Web site, we collect the visitor's domain name (i.e. where the user is logged on, such as from yahoo.com, etc.), referral data (e.g., we record the address of the last URL a user visited prior to clicking through to the Copeys Virtual Mall Web site), and browser and platform type (e.g., a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform). We collect visitor information for purposes of product monitoring, product improvement, and targeted advertising. We also count, track, and aggregate all visitors' activity into our analysis of general traffic flows at our sites (e.g. tracking where traffic comes from, how traffic flows within the Copeys Virtual Mall properties, etc.). To these ends, we may merge information about you into group data, which may then be shared on an aggregated basis with our advertisers; but Copeys Virtual Mall will not disclose your individual identity or personal data without your permission. When Copeys Virtual Mall does present aggregated information to outside companies, no one is able to identify you or contact you.

USE OF IP ADDRESSES

An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers, the big computers that "serve up" web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address.

Copeys Virtual Mall collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregate, or combined, information to our advertisers, and to audit the use of our site. When users request pages from the Copeys Virtual Mall Web site, our servers log the user's IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that your session will be logged, but you remain anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our rules or terms of service or to protect our service, site, customers or others.

USE OF e-mail DATA

Copeys Virtual Mall will use your e-mail address to send correspondence about new services.

Users can choose to unsubscribe from Copeys Virtual Mall newsletters or product-related announcements at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions found in each e-mail or by contacting our Customer Support organization at [email protected].

CONTESTS AND SWEEPSTAKES

Copeys Virtual Mall offers contests and sweepstakes in which we request certain personal information. At a minimum, the required information includes name and e-mail address; in some cases, the user must answer mandatory survey questions about a range of other personal data. The information gathered in the entry form is used to verify the entrant's identity and to contact winners and/or prize recipients. Participation in these contests and sweepstakes is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. There are two situations in which Copeys Virtual Mall will divulge this information to a third party provided the user gives express consent: (1) A user may expressly choose to receive additional information from the contest sponsor, in which case the user's personally identifiable information is divulged to the advertiser. (2) Some of the contests may be hosted on the Copeys Virtual Mall site but administered by the sponsor; in such cases, the information a user provides is passed on to the third party as long as that user gives express consent. Because the rules and terms of each contest and sweepstakes can vary, all information about each contest and sweepstakes is clearly posted during the event. All contests and sweepstakes are conducted in full accordance with United States federal and state laws.

SURVEYS

Occasionally Copeys Virtual Mall conducts user surveys to better target our content to our audience. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our advertisers and partners. We never share any of this information about specific individuals with any third party.

LINKS TO OTHER SITES

Users should be aware that when you are at Copeys Virtual Mall, you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other sites from Copeys Virtual Mall pages that take you outside our service. For example, if you "click" on a banner advertisement or a Copeys Virtual Mall more information link, the "click" takes you off the Copeys Virtual Mall site. This includes links from advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use SkyAuction.com's logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data or solicit personal information.

Copeys Virtual Mall policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, and therefore beyond Copeys Virtual Mall's control, and is not to be applied in any manner contrary to applicable law or governmental regulation. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information.

SECURITY

Copeys Virtual Mall has taken strong measures to protect the security of your personal information and to ensure that your choices for its intended use are honored. We take strong precautions to protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our guests is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your PC to our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Copeys Virtual Mall can not ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. When credit card information is transmitted we use industry standard, SSL (secure socket layer) encryption.

Your Copeys Virtual Mall account is password protected so that only you can access it and view the member information relevant to the account. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Copeys Virtual Mall will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or e-mail. Ultimately, you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and any account information.

YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS

By using this site, you signify your assent to the Copeys Virtual Mall Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use our sites. Your continued use of the Copeys Virtual Mall Web site following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
