COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY

Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it.

Definition of the Information Auto Direct Online gathers and keeps track of.

Auto Direct Online gathers two types of information about users:

· Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters, to participate in our message boards or forums, to email a friend, and from participation in polls and surveys:

· Information Auto Direct Online gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content to reader needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors better understand the demographics of our audience. Because Florentine Design Group derives its revenue mainly from sponsorships and advertising, providing such aggregated demographic data is essential to keeping our service free to users. Under no circumstances does Florentine Design Group divulge any information about an individual user to a third party.

USAGE TRACKING

Auto Direct Online tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. Auto Direct Online does break down overall usage statistics according to a users domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every users browser).

Auto Direct Online uses any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.

As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing. Auto Direct Online never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
