We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or delete portions of this Privacy Policy at any time without further notice. You can find the current version of the Anianet Privacy Policy at www.anianet.com/go/network/privacy, and we will indicate at the top of this page the date these terms were last revised. Your continued use of the Service or the Site after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to abide by these or any others Terms of Service, do not use or access (or continue to use or access) the Service or the Site. It is your responsibility to regularly check the Site to determine if there have been changes to the Privacy Policy and to review such changes.

Collected Information

When you visit Anianet you provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected by us and web site use information collected by us as you interact with our web site.

When you register with Anianet, you provide us with certain personal information, such as your name, your email address, your address, your gender, and any other personal or preference information that you provide to us.

As is standard practice on many web sites, we use 'cookies' and other technologies to help us understand which parts of Service are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how much time they spend there. These data are not correlated in any way with any personally identifiable information. We use 'cookies' and other technologies to, among other uses: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Service; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, pages viewed, etc.; and (e) track your entries, submissions, and status in contests, sweepstakes and other promotions.

When you use the Service, our servers automatically record certain information that your web browser sends whenever you visit any web site. These server logs may include information such as your Internet Protocol ('IP') address, web browser type, number of clicks, domain names, pages viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, the date and time of your request, and the like. These data are not correlated in any way with any personally identifiable information.

If you choose to submit personal information on or through the Service, then we use your personal information for internal purposes only, such as to operate, maintain and provide to you the features and functionality of the Service and to customize and improve your experience on the Service.

Your acceptance of the Terms of Service constitutes an 'opt in' to Anianet email messages. We do not use your email address or other personal information to send commercial or marketing messages without providing you the ability to opt-out. We may, however, use your email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes (such as notifying you of major Service changes or for membership services). We use both your personal information and certain non-personal information (such as anonymous usage data, cookies, IP addresses, web browser type, clickstream data or other details that alone could not be used to identify or communicate with you) to improve the quality and design of the Service and to create new features, promotions, functionality and services by storing, tracking and analyzing user preferences and trends.

These companies may use your personal information to communicate with you about offers from Anianet and/or our marketing partners.
