Information Collection and Use
3CMH collects information in order to provide and improve its Services, features and content, to administer Users’ membership and to enable users to enjoy and easily navigate the Site. Personal information can be also used in order to better understand how Services are used.
Personally Identifiable Information.
- In the course of using the Services, 3CMH asks the User to provide certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify the User and administer his/her account (“Personal Information”). Personal Information may include, but is not limited to, name, phone number, email address and home and business postal addresses. We use Personal Information mainly to provide the Services.
- It is important to be aware that when a User register to become a Viblix Member, other users of the Services may be able to see his/her screen or user name, in addition to any comments or submissions that the Member posts to the Site or submits through the Services. If a User or a Member violates or potentially violates Terms of Use, Personal Information may be shared with law enforcement and other third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy and subject to all applicable laws.
- 3CMH also collects other information provided as part of the use of the Services, including via registration, administration and personalization of profile webpage (e.g., zip code, gender, age and individual preferences) (“Non-Identifying Information”). Some Non-Identifying Information would be considered a part of Personal Information if it were combined with other identifiers (for example, combining zip code with street address) in a way that enables the User to be identified. But the same information are considered Non-Identifying Information when they are taken alone or combined only with other non-identifying information (for example, User’s viewing preferences). 3CMH may combine Personal Information with Non-Identifying Information and aggregate it with information collected from other Viblix Users to to provide Users with a better experience, to improve the quality and value of the Services and to analyze and understand how Services are used.
- 3CMH may also use Personal Information to contact Users with Viblix newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to the User. If the User decides at any time no longer to receive such communications, can send an email to support@viblix.com.
