Information You Provide Us
In general, you can visit Interpark.com without telling us who you are or revealing any personally
identifiable information about yourself. If you choose to register, and are 13 years of age or older,
we will collect your name, date of birth, email address, and street address along with other
information you may choose to submit, and you will choose a password as part of the registration
process ("Personally Identifiable Information" or "Pll"). Personally Identifiable Information means
any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, your name, home address, telephone number, e-mail address, and credit card information such as the credit card number, card verification value, and the billing address. If you handle a transaction ("Transaction") on or through our Site we will also ask you for additional information including the credit card number and expiration date, billing address, shipping address, name on the account and telephone numbers for the billing and shipping addresses ("Credit Card Information").

If you handle a transaction ("Transaction") on or through our Site we will also ask you for additional information including the credit card number and expiration date, billing address, shipping address, name on the account and telephone numbers for the billing and shipping addresses ("Credit Card Information").
By providing your PII to us, you explicitly agree to our collection and use of such information as
described in this Privacy Policy.
Profiles
Before we allow you to use or provide certain products, we ask you to create your own profile which
is shown to the other users of the products including potential customers for your services.
Some Personally Identifiable Information from the profile, including but not limited to full name, photo,
and e-mail address, is displayed to other users. For example, first names and photos of service
providers ("Providers") are displayed to members of the Site, to support the function of our social
networking community.
If you are a student user of the products you are provided the option to create a profile without
your personally identifiable information being displayed to other users.
Billing
If you use or provide services on the Site for which we implement a billing system for you, we will
collect additional information from you so that we can process and collect billing information.
For example, we may collect your mailing address to remit payments, and we collect your Socia
Security number and/or Federal Tax ID number to prepare Form 1099s if necessary and to help us
verify your identity. Members who are not United States taxpayers will not be asked for their Social
Security numbers or Federal Tax ID numbers, though they may need to report income to their local
tax authority and may be required to provide equivalent evidence of their identity.
If you make payments as a Customer through the Site, We will keep your Credit Card Information
on file and on our servers. This will enable you to make future purchases without re-entering your
Credit Card Information. The Credit Card Information will not be shared with any third party not
affiliated with Interpark without notifying you in this Privacy Policy. We only share your Credit Card
Information as necessary to complete your purchase transaction as disclosed in this Privacy Policy.
Protecting Children's Privacy
We recognize that some of the users of our Site may be under the age of 13.
We are committed to protecting Minors' privacy online and meeting the requirements of the federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. We encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate in the activities offered on the Site. Minors may participate in the products offered on and through our Site anonymously and do not need to register in order to participate. In order for a Minor to receive services through our Site it is necessary for the Minor to register and to provide certain limited personal information.
This includes the Minor's name and email address. This information is used by Interpark to facilitate provision of services to the Minor and to email promotional material to the Minor.

BECAUSE WE MAY COLLECT MINOR'S PERSONAL INFORMATION THROUGH OUR SITE,
WE REQUIRE THAT EACH MINOR'S PARENT PROVIDE CONSENT (AS EXPLAINED BELOW)
BEFORE THE MINOR IS PERMITTED TO REGISTER ON OUR SITE.
Unless otherwise disclosed during collection, we do not provide any personally identifying
information, regardless of its source, to any third party for any purpose whatsoever from our users
under 13 years of age.
When a Minor registers on our Site, we collect only the Minor's name and email address and the
email address and name of the Minor's parent or guardian. Our system immediately identifies those
users whose birth date indicates that they are under the age of 13. We send the identified parent or
guardian an e-mail alerting them to that registration and identifying the information supplied by the
Minor. The email to the parent also contains a link to this Privacy Policy.
In order for the registration to become complete and for the potential user to receive any information from us, the parent or guardian must validate the registration, as described in the e-mail, and consent to the Minor's registration. The parent or guardian may refuse to allow the Minor to register. If the parent does not respond to the email within 72 hours or if the parent responds refusing to allow the registration then the information submitted by the Minor is automatically deleted from our system.

In addition to the registration information provided by the Minor and the address information provided
by the parent or guardian, we use cookies, as described below, which can be associated with the
user's PII. No information collected from users under 13 years of age is used for any marketing or
promotional purposes.
A parent or guardian of a Minor may at any time review the child's personal information, request that
we change the information, request that we collect no further information, or delete the child's
registration by contacting us via email or by clicking on the link on the registration page or by writing us
at the address indicated on the Contact page of our Site. Parents can also telephone us at the contact
information listed under "Contacting Us"to request a change or to delete the Minor's registration
information. Before any information is disclosed the parent will be required to provide the parent's
name and email address for verification.
We will only send the information to the parent's email address in the registration file.
If a Minor who is not registered on our Site contacts Interpark through an email, we will respond to
that email on a one-time basis without obtaining parental consent and we will then delete the email
address. We will not use that email address to contact the Minor thereafter.
Our Site does not provide email services, chat rooms or message boards.
