1. Collection of Your Personal Information
In order to access some myHitOnline services, you will be asked to sign in with
an e-mail address and password, which we refer to as your credentials. As part of
creating your credentials, you may also be requested to provide questions and secret
answers, which we use to help verify your identity and assist in resetting your
password, as well as an alternate email address. Some services may require added
security, and in these cases, you may be asked to create an additional security
key.
We ask you to provide personal information, such as your e-mail address, name, home
or work address or telephone number. We may also collect demographic information,
such as your ZIP code, age, gender, and preferences.
We may collect information about your visit, including the pages you view, the links
you click and other actions taken in connection with myHitOnline. We also collect
certain standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit,
such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring Web
site addresses.
When you receive newsletters or promotional e-mail from myHitOnline, we may use
customized links or similar technologies to determine whether the e-mail has been
opened and which links you click in order to provide you more focused e-mail communications
or other information.
In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions
with myHitOnline, we may use services from other companies that enable us to derive
a general geographic area based on your IP address in order to customize certain
services to your geographic area.
2. Use of Your Personal Information
myHitOnline collects and uses your personal information to operate and improve its
site and deliver the services or carry out the transactions you have requested.
These uses may include providing you with more effective customer service; making
the site or services easier to use by eliminating the need for you to repeatedly
enter the same information; performing research and analysis aimed at improving
our products, services and technologies; and displaying content and advertising
that are customized to your interests and preferences.
We also use your personal information to communicate with you. We may send certain
mandatory service communications such as welcome letters, billing reminders, information
on technical service issues, and security announcements. We may also occasionally
send you product surveys or promotional mailings to inform you of other products
or services available from myHitOnline or partners.
Personal information collected on myHitOnline may be stored and processed in the
United States or any other country in which myHitOnline operates, and by using the
myHitOnline site, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your
country.
3. Sharing of Your Personal Information
Except as described in this statement, we will not disclose your personal information
outside of myHitOnline without your consent. myHitOnline does not share your
contact information with third parties for marketing purposes, but instead may give
you a choice as to whether you wish to receive communications from myHitOnline on
behalf of external business partners about a partner's particular offering (without
transferring your personal information to the third party).
Some myHitOnline services may be co-branded and offered in conjunction with another
company. If you register for or use such services, both myHitOnline and the other
company may receive information collected in conjunction with the co-branded services.
We may hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling
the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, hosting websites,
processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. Those
companies will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to
deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information
and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
We may access and/or disclose your personal information if we believe such action
is necessary to: (a) comply with the law or legal process served on myHitOnline;
(b) protect and defend the rights or property of myHitOnline (including the enforcement
of our agreements); or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety
of users of myHitOnline services or members of the public.
4. Accessing Your Personal Information
You may have the ability to view or edit your personal information online. In order
to help prevent your personal information from being viewed by others, you will
be required to sign in with your credentials (e-mail address and password).
5. Communication Preferences
You can stop the delivery of future promotional e-mail from the myHitOnline site
and services by following the specific instructions in the e-mail you receive.
You may also have the option of proactively making choices about the communications
you receive by selecting the appropriate options in your account settings.
These communication choices do not apply to mandatory service communications that
are considered part of myHitOnline services, which you may receive periodically
unless you cancel the service.
6. Security of Your Personal Information
myHitOnline is committed to protecting the security of your personal information.
We use a security technology to help protect your personal information from unauthorized
access, use, or disclosure. Since the payment service is rendered by PayPal, it
is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
protocol and other appropriate security mechanisms. For more information please
visit the official PayPal site.
If a password is used to help protect your accounts and personal information, it
is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. Do not share this information
with anyone. If you are sharing a computer with anyone you should always choose
to log out before leaving the site to protect access to your information from subsequent
users.
If it is determined that a user shares his or her login information with other users
to gain access to the information provided by myHitOnline, myHitOnline reserve the
right to discontinue service to this user without notice. For more information,
please refer to the terms of use.
7. Use of Cookies
myHitOnline uses "cookies" to enable you to sign in to our services and to help
personalize your online experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed
on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies contain information that can later
be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies cannot
be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.
myHitOnline uses cookies to store your preferences and other information on your
computer in order to save you time by eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the
same information and to display your personalized content and appropriate advertising
on your later visits to these sites.
myHitOnline uses cookies to improve the sign in experience. For example, your e-mail
address may be stored in a cookie that will remain on your computer after you sign
out. This cookie allows your e-mail address to be pre-populated, so that you will
only need to type your password the next time you sign in.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies
if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to receive
targeted information and services that depend on cookies.

The majority of the online banner advertisements you see on myHitOnline pages are
displayed by myHitOnline. However, we allow other companies, third-party ad servers
or ad networks, to display advertisements on myHitOnline Web pages.
9. Controlling "Spam" or Unsolicited E-mail
myHitOnline is concerned about controlling unsolicited commercial e-mail, or "spam."
