Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. Because we gather certain types of information about the users of Smartfone.net's network of sites and services, 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, how we use it, and how to correct or change it.

2. Use of the Information
Smartfone.net 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, Smartfone.net uses information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls,  contests, message boards, and auctions. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (daily or weekly, depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing. Smartfone.net never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers or partners.

When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. Smartfone.net does not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.

Smartfone.net creates aggregrate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers and partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise more effectively,  and allows our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent to their needs.

Data submitted through registration for opt-in email announcement newsletters are provided to PostMasterDirect so that it can deliver the announcements requested by users.

3. Sharing of the Information
Smartfone.net uses the above-described information to tailor our content to suit your needs and help our advertisers better understand our audience's demographics. This is essential to keeping our service free. We do not share information about individual users with any third party, except in the case of some contests and sweepstakes--and then, only with a user's express consent. Smartfone.net may make registration records and log files available on a confidential basis to third-party auditors and to select measurement and analysis firms.

Smartfone.net does not control the practices of our advertisers. If you have questions about how one of our advertisers uses information about you when you click their ad and go to their content, please contact them directly. (Smartfone.net will divulge information only as necessary to comply with republic laws.)
