Your privacy on the Internet is important to INSIDE BUSINESS. As part of the operation of INSIDE BUSINESS, certain pieces of information are gathered about INSIDE BUSINESS Members. Below are explanations regarding the types of information collected, what is done with it, and how to correct or change the information. What Information is Collected As part of the INSIDE BUSINESS Member registration process, the prospective member is asked to provide an email address and interest category selections. The prospective member, at their option, may voluntarily provide additional information, including personal, geographic and demographic information. In addition to the information provided by members, INSIDE BUSINESS may also collect information about INSIDE BUSINESS Members from third party sources. Furthermore, INSIDE BUSINESS monitors incoming and outgoing Web site traffic data to help diagnose problems with its servers and to administer its Web site. INSIDE BUSINESS also uses this data to assemble broad demographic information about its members in general. The purpose of this data collection is to ensure that INSIDE BUSINESS Members receive only the most relevant, targeted offers and information from INSIDE BUSINESS. INSIDE BUSINESS uses "contact us" forms as a way for clients, potential clients and members to communicate with INSIDE BUSINESS. INSIDE BUSINESS collects the information supplied by the sender of the "contact us" form in order to establish and maintain relationships with clients, potential clients and members. INSIDE BUSINESS also uses email links located on various pages of the INSIDE BUSINESS Web site to allow you to contact INSIDE BUSINESS with questions or comments you may have. INSIDE BUSINESS welcomes these email communications and makes efforts to respond to these communications where appropriate. Email communications and the ideas sent to INSIDE BUSINESS in these email communications become the property of INSIDE BUSINESS. INSIDE BUSINESS uses the email communications to evaluate and improve its services and Web site. INSIDE BUSINESS also may save these email communications for future reference or use.
In an attempt to customize the INSIDE BUSINESS service and provide members with the information they may be most interested in, INSIDE BUSINESS also conducts internal research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior based upon information members provide directly to INSIDE BUSINESS and information that INSIDE BUSINESS may collect from third party sources and/or through the use of "cookies" (see below). INSIDE BUSINESS may combine or otherwise overlay some or all of the foregoing information to build profiles about INSIDE BUSINESS Members, which may be individual specific or in aggregate form. By becoming a INSIDE BUSINESS Member, you consent to INSIDE BUSINESS employing the foregoing techniques in its continuing efforts to better serve its members by providing them with the information in which they may be most interested. INSIDE BUSINESS does not use information about its members for any purposes unrelated to the services offered by INSIDE BUSINESS. As discussed above, INSIDE BUSINESS may, from time to time, obtain information about its members from third party sources. In addition, INSIDE BUSINESS may, from time to time, assist third parties in developing, implementing and monitoring advertising campaigns using data owned or supplied by the third party. Please be aware that this Privacy Policy does not cover the conduct or practices of these third party sources. However, INSIDE BUSINESS will treat information that it receives from third party sources according to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
The Use of Cookies
As an important and necessary part of providing customizable and personalized services to its members, INSIDE BUSINESS uses cookies to store and sometimes track information about members. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to a member's browser from a Web server and stored on a member's computer hard drive. Areas of INSIDE BUSINESS Web site where members are prompted to login or that are customizable require acceptance of cookies. Cookies are also used to help INSIDE BUSINESS track the response to messages sent to members on behalf of marketers so that INSIDE BUSINESS can monitor and report campaign results to the marketer and track response history.

Children's Online Privacy Protection
The safety of children is important to us. INSIDE BUSINESS Web site is a general audience site and is not directed to children under the age of 13. Similarly, INSIDE BUSINESS services are not directed to nor intended for anyone under the age of 13. INSIDE BUSINESS will not knowingly accept members who are under the age of 13 years nor will it knowingly collect or maintain personally identifiable information from or about anyone under the age of 13 years. Accordingly, when registering to become a INSIDE BUSINESS Member, the new member must certify that they are not under the age of 13. INSIDE BUSINESS relies on the truthfulness of this certification when accepting new members. In the event that INSIDE BUSINESS receives information that establishes that a member is under the age of 13 years, INSIDE BUSINESS reserves the right, which it will exercise, to terminate that member's membership. INSIDE BUSINESS will also delete all information in its databases about that terminated member. If you believe INSIDE BUSINESS has any information from or about anyone under 13, please contact us at the address listed below. Email: inside.business@pilotonline.com
Confidentiality
INSIDE BUSINESS will not provide personally identifiable information of a INSIDE BUSINESS Member to third parties except as noted under "Limits of Confidentiality." Personally identifiable information means the member's name, residence address, email address, social security number or other information from which the member's identity may be reasonably ascertained. INSIDE BUSINESS uses proprietary technologies to preserve the anonymity of members while matching the member's interests with targeted information sent via email.
INSIDE BUSINESS will under no circumstance knowingly reveal any member's identity to marketers. It is solely at a INSIDE BUSINESS Member's discretion if he or she chooses to provide personally identifiable information to a marketer by making a purchase, requesting additional information, or communicating directly with the company or organization after visiting its Web site or otherwise.
Limits of Confidentiality
As part of its day-to-day business activities, INSIDE BUSINESS must disclose certain aggregate level information about INSIDE BUSINESS Members to certain third parties; principally, (1) INSIDE BUSINESS Network Partners, and (2) Marketers who use INSIDE BUSINESS network. Below is the information and circumstances under which INSIDE BUSINESS may be required to disclose information to third parties.
(1) Network Partners: When a INSIDE BUSINESS Member registers through the Web site of a Network Partner, INSIDE BUSINESS is obligated to disclose to that particular Network Partner the information submitted by the INSIDE BUSINESS Member during the registration process. In addition to the foregoing information, INSIDE BUSINESS may also disclose aggregate level information to the Network Partner about INSIDE BUSINESS Members who registered through that particular Network Partner's site. Such aggregate information may include, for example, the number of individuals who registered through the Network Partner's site; the turnover rate of INSIDE BUSINESS Members who have registered through the Network Partner's site; with respect to any particular campaign, the response rates of the INSIDE BUSINESS Members who registered through the Network Partner's site; and statistics on the interest categories selected by the INSIDE BUSINESS Members who have registered through the Network Partner's site. Subject to the exceptions discussed below, INSIDE BUSINESS will not knowingly disclose any personally identifiable information about an INSIDE BUSINESS Member to a Network Partner unless such personally identifiable information was provided during the registration process through the Network Partner's Web site.
(2) Marketers: INSIDE BUSINESS will disclose aggregate level information about INSIDE BUSINESS Members to marketers as reasonably necessary to explain the services that INSIDE BUSINESS can offer, to report on the advertising campaigns that INSIDE BUSINESS undertakes for any particular marketer, and/or to implement and explain campaign strategies. Subject to the exceptions discussed below, INSIDE BUSINESS will not knowingly disclose any personally identifiable information about an INSIDE BUSINESS Member to a marketer. Due to the existing legal, regulatory and security environment, INSIDE BUSINESS may be required, under certain circumstances, to disclose aggregate level and/or personally identifiable information about its members. INSIDE BUSINESS will use its best efforts to limit such disclosure to the following: where INSIDE BUSINESS believes in good faith that it is required to do so in response to a subpoena or other legal process; where reasonably required to do so in order to maintain, update or otherwise implement INSIDE BUSINESS data security measures, equipment, technical operations and the like; or where reasonably necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against persons or entities to preserve and/or enforce INSIDE BUSINESS rights.
Use of Information
INSIDE BUSINESS uses member information to deliver the INSIDE BUSINESS services. Thus, member information is used by INSIDE BUSINESS in identifying information that may be of interest to its members. A member's email address will be used by INSIDE BUSINESS to contact that member about member-selected interests. INSIDE BUSINESS also uses member information to monitor, interpret, analyze and report campaign results. INSIDE BUSINESS does not use member information for purposes unrelated to the services offered by INSIDE BUSINESS.
Protection of Member Information
INSIDE BUSINESS undertakes substantial efforts to protect the confidentiality of the identity, preferences and other information it has collected about individual members and will never knowingly allow access to this information to anyone outside INSIDE BUSINESS other than to the member or as described above under the heading Limits of Confidentiality.
INSIDE BUSINESS has made a substantial investment in its server, database, backup and firewall technologies to protect the information assets of the INSIDE BUSINESS NetworkTM, including the confidentiality of information collected about INSIDE BUSINESS Members. These technologies are deployed as part of a sophisticated security architecture and protocol. You should also do your part in protecting your information. Your INSIDE BUSINESS user name and password are confidential and we recommend that you not divulge them to anyone. Unfortunately, neither INSIDE BUSINESS network nor data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect member information, INSIDE BUSINESS cannot ensure or warrant the security of member information. Thus, any information a member transmits to us is done so at the member's own risk. Once we receive member information, INSIDE BUSINESS undertakes substantial efforts to protect the confidentiality of this information consistent with this Policy.

INSIDE BUSINESS will conspicuously post these changes in our Privacy Policy. INSIDE BUSINESS also will post a message on the home page of its Web site that states that the Privacy Policy has been changed, and will provide a link to the Privacy Policy.
