3. Personally Identifiable Information.
Commanding View collects personally identifiable information when users fill out
any registration forms while registering as a member, client, or expert. Commanding
View also collects personally identifiable information when users buy any product
from its Web portal or when users register with Commanding View to receive newsletters.
When you register for the Commanding View services, you will be required to provide
Commanding View with information that is associated with your personal identity
including, but not limited to, your name, address, telephone number(s), social security
number, or driver's license number, user IDs, passwords, e-mail addresses (hereinafter
referred to as “personally identifiable information”). It may also be necessary
for Commanding View to collect personally identifiable information in the course
of maintenance and repairs to the Web portal. All personally identifiable information
that you submit to us is treated as confidential, subject to the obligations, responsibilities,
and rights of Commanding View pursuant to the Patriot Act, which are outlined herein
in Sections 6 and 7 of the Commanding View Privacy Policy. Commanding View collects
this personally identifiable information with your specific knowledge and consent
and uses this information to provide you with the Commanding View services. For
example, when you send Commanding View an e-mail message, you may provide personally
identifiable information to Commanding View. E-mail addresses and other personally
identifiable information about you are known to Commanding View only when you voluntarily
submit such information to Commanding View. As a general policy, no personally identifiable
information is automatically collected from you or other users of the Commanding
View services. Commanding View does not sell our users' e-mail addresses.
Commanding View uses any personally identifiable information voluntarily given by
its users to enhance such users’ experience in Commanding View’s Web portal, whether
to provide interactive or personalized elements on the Web portal or to better prepare
future content based on the interests of Commanding View’s users. Commanding View
also uses personally identifiable 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. Commanding View sends out newsletters to subscribers
on a regular schedule (depending on the newsletter), and occasionally sends out
special editions when Commanding View thinks subscribers might be particularly interested
in something Commanding View is doing. Subject to the terms of the Privacy Policy,
Commanding View does not share personally identifiable information with any third
parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.

4. Information Other Than Personally Identifiable Information.
Certain information other than personally identifiable information, however, is
collected and recorded by Commanding View when you use the Commanding View services.
This type of information is also used to provide an enhanced online experience for
you. The information collected and recorded includes the type of browser, the type
of operating system, and the type of computer system you are using, which assists
to optimize the Web portal.
If you are an expert, then you may have to provide us with information in addition
to personally identifiable information. Such information consists of client’s testimonials,
your background, your past work experience, references, resume, sample videos, articles,
your fee schedule, your availability, your working preferences and other information.
If you are a client, then you may have to provide us with information in addition
to personally identifiable information, such as name of the event, date of the event,
location of the event, your expectations regarding the event, and the anticipated
number of attendees at the event.
One way that Commanding View collects and records information other than personally
identifiable information is by the use of “cookies.” Cookies are pieces of information
that an internet Web site will transfer to the hard drive of your computer system
for record-keeping purposes. By collecting and recording your preferences, cookies
assist you to navigate more efficiently to the internet Web sites you visit or link
to while using the Commanding View services. By showing how and when you visit or
link to a particular internet Web site, cookies assist Commanding View to see which
areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the Commanding
View services may be based on data tracked through the use of cookies including,
but not limited to, the total number of users and internet Web sites visited. As
such, Commanding View may use the information from cookies to provide services that
are tailored to your and other user's needs.
You have the option of disabling cookies using your browser preferences. Many browsers
are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all
cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Please note that certain internet
Web sites you visit or link to while using the Commanding View services may not
function properly or may be considerably slower if you disable or refuse cookies.
Commanding View does not save credit card information contained in cookies.
Commanding View also collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration,
to report aggregate information, and to audit the use of the Commanding View services.
An IP address is a unique sequence of numbers that is automatically assigned to
your computer system whenever you are connected to the internet using the Commanding
View services and is used to identify your computer system. Commanding View does
not normally link the IP address to any personally identifiable information, which
means that the internet Web sites you visit or link to while using the Commanding
View services, if any, will be collected and recorded but you will remain anonymous
to us.
Some internet Web sites you visit or link to while using the Commanding View services,
such as certain message boards, may display IP addresses along with the message
poster's name and message. Please review such Web sites prior to using them and
only use such Web sites with whom you are comfortable sharing IP addresses along
with your name and message.
Commanding View can and will use IP addresses to identify a user if and when Commanding
View believes that it is necessary to investigate violations of, prevent violations
of, and/or enforce compliance with the Terms of Service and Accepted Use of Commanding
View; and/or to otherwise protect the Commanding View services and other users of
the Commanding View services.
Commanding View may use information other than personally identifiable information
to review the number of users of the Commanding View services, but only in aggregate
and in a non-personally-identifiable or anonymous form. You acknowledge and agree
that Commanding View reserves the right to use such aggregated and anonymous data
about our users as a group for any business purpose, including, but not limited
to, reviewing the number of users of the Commanding View services, reviewing trends
in usage of the Commanding View services, and/or seeking appropriate advertisers
and partners.

5. Limitations of Privacy Policy.
THE COMMANDING VIEW PRIVACY POLICY DOES NOT GOVERN OR APPLY TO INFORMATION COLLECTED
ON INTERNET WEB SITES THAT YOU VISIT OR LINK TO WHILE USING THE COMMANDING VIEW
SERVICES. Please review the Privacy Policy of each internet Web site prior to use
and provide personally identifiable information only those internet Web sites with
whom you are comfortable sharing such personally identifiable information.

6. Mandatory Disclosures to Government Entities Pursuant to the Patriot Act.
Under the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (the “Patriot Act”), Commanding View may be required
to disclose certain information concerning your use of the Commanding View services
without advance notice to you. If Commanding View receives a subpoena, Commanding
View may be required to disclose the following records:
(a) your name and address:
(b) your telephone number(s):
(c) any internet or network address:
(d) records of your internet sessions (including session
times and duration):
(e) how long you have subscribed the Commanding View
services (including start date):
In addition, if Commanding View receives a federal or state search warrant or court
order, it may be required to disclose to law enforcement agencies the content of,
and other records relating to, e-mail messages (including attachments to e-mail
messages and records relating to your e-mail and internet use), without advance
notice to you. Please also note that law enforcement agencies may, by federal or
state court order, and without notice to you, obtain the right to install a device
that monitors your internet and e-mail use.

7. Voluntary Disclosures to Government Entities Pursuant to the Patriot Act.
The Patriot Act also allows Commanding View to voluntarily disclose certain information
to law enforcement agencies and governmental entities in circumstances of immediate
danger. If Commanding View reasonably believes that an emergency involving immediate
danger or death or serious physical injury to any person requires disclosure of
the information without delay, when permitted by law, then Commanding View may voluntarily
disclose to law enforcement agencies, without advance notice to you, the content
of your communications using the Commanding View services. The Patriot Act, under
certain conditions, also allows the government, at Commanding View’s request, to
intercept the communications of an unauthorized computer trespasser, without obtaining
a court order or search warrant. Finally, Commanding View may also disclose to law
enforcement agencies the contents of your internet communications using the Commanding
View services that were inadvertently obtained and appear to pertain to the commission
of crime.

10.E-mail This To A Friend.
Users of the Web portal may choose to electronically forward a link, page, or documents
to another by clicking "e-mail this to a friend". Users must provide their email
address, as well as the e-mail address of the recipient. This information is used
by Commanding View in the case of transmission errors and, of course, to let the
recipient know who sent the email.

11.Polling.
Commanding View may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their
opinions with other users and see what our audience thinks about important issues.
Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to
any particular user. Commanding View may use a system to "tag" users after they
have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not
correlated with information about individual users.
|
-
12.Surveys.
Commanding View may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target its content
to its audience. Commanding View sometimes shares the aggregated demographic information
in these surveys with its sponsors, advertisers, and partners.
