We are
committed to protecting our customers' privacy. While no data transmission over
the Internet is 100% secure from intrusion, we have used and will continue to
use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the protection of your information
as well as that of your customers.
NeatClubs.COM
subscribers may feel free to use this document as the basis for writing your own
privacy policy. Please note that under the terms of our agreement with our
customers we reserve the right to make changes in our privacy policy at any
time. Under no circumstances will NeatClubs.COM proactively or intentionally
provide your confidential data or that of your customers to any third party
organization. Any changes to the policy will be posted to the Privacy Policy

Disclosure
(General):
Although your privacy is very important to us,
in the legal and technical environment related to on-line hosting applications,
we cannot fully ensure that your personally identifiable information will not be
disclosed to third parties. Please see "Disclosure to Third Parties", below, for
more information.
Personally
Identifiable Information:
When we use the term "personally
identifiable information" we mean information such as your full name, street
address, town or city, state, postal or zip code, telephone number, date of
birth, e-mail address, IP address and any other information that would allow
someone to identify you or contact you. Personally identifiable information also
includes information about your transactions on-line or relationship with us, if
you have been a customer or you have provided this type of information to
NeatClubs.COM. For example, if you subscribe to our service, in addition to your
name and contact information, we will also collect and maintain your billing
address and a mailing address. We collect this and other information to fill
your order, to communicate with you about your order and to send you promotional
materials if you consent to us doing so.
Although we may track the number of
visitors to inform us on how best to update this service and enhance the
experience for all visitors, personally identifiable information is not
extracted in this process. We use tracking information on an aggregated basis to
help us operate the site, enhance and improve our service and improve the look
and feel of the site by collecting information on the frequency of visits for
different types of internet browsers.
We collect personally identifiable
information about you when you visit the site and input information, whether you
are registering to use the site, enrolling or signing up for events and
activities or in the course of any other exchanges of information, transactions
and activities. We may use the information we obtain from you, including
personally identifiable information, to tailor your experience on the site, to
display content we think may be of interest to you, or to let us customize what
you see when you visit the site according to your preferences.
Some features and functions of the
site require you to register or obtain our permission before you can use them
for security, identification and marketing reasons, among others - and as part
of that process we may ask you to provide us with certain personally
identifiable information. In addition, during the registration process we will
also ask you to select (or we may provide) a user login and password (we will
allow you to change your password, as well as any personally identifiable
information you have given us in order to keep this information current). Among
other things, this information helps us securely identify you as a registered or
permitted user of those features and functions.
Bear in mind that when you submit
information to us, it does not guarantee that we will permit you to use any or
all of the features or functions of the site.
The NeatClubs.COM service provides
mechanisms for on-line payment via the PayPalTM merchant services.
Please note that in the course of conducting on-line payment transactions, or
facilitating on-line payment transactions between our subscribers and their
customers, at no time will we come into possession of confidential credit card
information or banking information, and we will similarly protect our
subscribers from having access to their customer or member confidential banking
or credit information. Users who agree to transact electronic commerce related
activities with our service on-line are agreeing to be bound by the terms and
conditions and privacy policy associated with the PayPal service, and users of
our service acknowledge that other than acting as a facilitator, NeatClubs.COM
will not be responsible for any erroneous transactions that might occur as a
result of possible problems with the PayPal on-line payment
services.

party;
