Privacy Statement


This is the "skylightsmagazine.com" Web site ("Site"). Our postal address is 5979 NW 151st Street, Ste 120, Miami Lakes, FL, 33014. You may also contact us via telephone toll-free at 1 (800) 443-0123 x183 or by e-mail at gary@worthit.com. The policy below is applicable to all Worth International Media Group (WIMG) web sites.

Your privacy on the Internet is important to us. As part of the operations of WIMG, we gather certain types of information about WIMG users. WIMG's Privacy Policy explains the types of information we gather, what we do with it and how you may correct or change information that WIMG may collect.

Information Collected by WIMG
WIMG collects two types of information about users: personal information (such as name and e-mail address) and aggregate information (such as information about how many users log on to our sites on a daily basis).

Personal Information
Personal information is collected when users voluntarily register for membership services. These services include receiving electronic newsletters, using community and communication services, answering surveys, purchasing items, and entering contests and other promotional opportunities provided on WIMG sites. We may collect personal information from you in other areas of our sites, but we will provide on-screen notification that we are doing so. We may receive personal usage and demographic information from our third-party partners, and we also collect e-mail addresses from users who send us support mail or request technical or other help. This information enables WIMG to improve its sites to make your online visits more productive and enjoyable.

Aggregate Information
One method of collecting aggregate information about your activities online (such as the pages you access most frequently or the search terms you enter), and information volunteered by you (such as survey or registration information), is by tracking Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you surf the Web. The computers that deliver the Web pages to you automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you request a page from one of our sites, our servers log your IP address.

WIMG sites record IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to provide aggregate data to advertisers about the volume of use on our sites. We also create aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers and partners. This allows these parties to advertise more effectively, and allows you to receive advertisements that are most relevant to your personal interests. An advertiser will not know that you clicked its advertisement unless you voluntarily and explicitly permit us to provide such information.

Search Terms
As a measure of user interest, we track search terms that are entered into our sites' search features. Search data and user-provided information help to improve the relevancy of search results by learning user preferences and prioritizing search results accordingly. The intended result is a more efficient search feature for visitors to our sites.

Use of Cookies
WIMG sites use 'cookies' to record information and to automatically log in users from previous visits to the site. A cookie is a small data file that Web sites store on your hard drive when you visit them. Cookies allow us to measure activity on our sites and to improve your user experience by remembering your passwords and viewing preferences, and allowing you to visit various members-only parts of our sites without re-registering. Cookies allow us to determine which areas and features of our sites are most popular by measuring user activity. This information allows us to make improvements and updates to improve your WIMG experience. WIMG sites do not use cookies to retrieve any information from your computer.

Most browsers are set to accept cookies. If you prefer, you may set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, some parts of our sites, such as the members-only areas (i.e. search engine, contest and member only areas) will not function properly if you choose not to accept cookies. You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers. WIMG does not control these cookies, and they are not subject to WIMG Privacy Policy.

Use of Information Collected by WIMG
WIMG uses the personal information we collect to improve the content of our sites; to customize the content and/or layout of our sites for each individual user; to notify users about updates to our sites or promotional offers or opportunities that we believe will be of interest to users; and to investigate violations of our terms and conditions of use.

Sharing Data with Third Parties
WIMG shares aggregate information with third parties for advertising and promotional purposes. With user permission, WIMG accesses personal information on behalf of pre-screened third parties for marketing or promotional purposes. We will always request permission to share such information on our sites. You may elect not to participate by clicking the appropriate on-screen button. WIMG may also share personal information with consultants and affiliates for internal business purposes and may divulge personal information if such information is subpoenaed, or if WICC believes that membership has been used to commit unlawful acts, or acts that may endanger the health or safety of another user or of the general public. In addition, WIMG receives personal usage and demographic information from third parties and uses this information to improve our products and services. Occasionally, we may post the name of a user (for example, a contest winner) on one of our sites. WICC will notify you of this possibility when you provide your information or, if possible, will notify you when the information is posted.

Membership Services and Service Providers
When you register to use membership services, WIMG may share your registration information with content or service providers. For instance, the personal information that you may provide is shared with the companies that provide those services in order to retrieve your password when necessary. You do not have to register your personal information with our sites, but if you choose not to, certain services, such as e-mail newsletters, will not be available to you.

Electronic Newsletters
Some WIMG sites offer free, electronic newsletters as a service to our users. You will only receive a newsletter if you agree to receive it during registration to one of the areas of our sites or directly from our newsletter sign-up form. We will not divulge your membership in a newsletter mailing list to any third parties, including advertisers or partners, if you request that we not do so when you register. If you have registered through our online registration system and have subscribed to one or more of WIMG's e-mail newsletters but do not want to continue receiving such e-mail newsletter(s), please contact us.

CHILDREN AND PRIVACY
WIMG encourages parents and guardians to spend time with their children online, and to be familiar with the sites their children visit. At various places on our sites, we ask whether users are under the age of 18 or 13. WIMG relies on our users to be truthful in responding to these questions.

Individuals Under 13
No information should be submitted to or posted on our sites by users under the age of 13. WIMG will not provide any personally identifying information about users under the age of 13, regardless of its source, to any third party for any purpose whatsoever without first requesting parental permission. Users under the age of 13 are asked not to participate in contests or promotional opportunities, or to sign up to receive our newsletters.

Individuals 13 Through 17
WIMG requests that children under the age of 18 not submit or post information to our sites. If an individual between the ages of 13 and 17 does so, WIMG may collect information (including personally identifying information). This information may be used for marketing and promotional purposes by WIMG and may, with the user's permission, be shared with pre-screened third parties. If a user or his/her parent or guardian changes his/her mind with respect to such use, that user, parent or guardian may stop that use either by e-mail request or by modifying his/her registration information online.

Community and Public Areas
Information posted to message boards, chat areas, clubs and home pages is available to the general public. Please use caution when posting any such information. Users under the age of 18 should be particularly careful not to provide any personally identifying information while using chat rooms or message boards. Users of chat areas and message boards must follow acceptable standards of behavior when posting messages online. WIMG reserves the right to, but is not obligated to, refuse or delete any content that in our sole discretion is considered inappropriate.

Links to Other Sites
WIMG sites contain links to sites other than our own. Those sites may not follow the same privacy policies as WIMG. Such links may be to advertisers, content providers or partners who may use our logo and/or style as a result of a co-branding agreement. These sites may send their own cookies to you, and may collect information and use it in a way inconsistent with WIMG's privacy policy. WIMG does not control the content that appears on these sites. Such sites may contain information that content providers independent of WIMG have created, maintained, published, posted or otherwise made available.

The use of any information or materials that you may access at these external sites is purely voluntary. You should not rely on the contents without independent and thorough review of the accuracy, completeness, effectiveness, timeliness and correct sequencing. These external sites may also refer to specific commercial products, processes, or services by trade name, trademark, service mark, manufacturer or otherwise. Unless WIMG has provided explicit authority, such references in no way indicate our endorsement, recommendation or preference.

Additional Information
No transmission of data over the Internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for third parties not under the control of WIMG to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your personal information, WIMG cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. Any such transmission is done at your own risk.

Under no circumstances, including but not limited to negligence, shall WIMG be liable for any special, incidental or consequential damages that result from the use of the information or materials on WIMG sites, even if WIMG or an authorized representative of WIMG, has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

WIMG reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Any such changes will be posted online. Questions should be directed to gary@worthit.com

USE OF THIS SITE SIGNIFIES YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND AGREEMENT TO COMPLY WITH THE ENTIRE PRIVACY POLICY.
