Privacy Policy

As of November 2009

By using B2BTOTY.com (the "Website"), you are agreeing to the collection and use of your personal information as described below. We will notify all active accounts of any significant changes to this policy.

The B2B Twitterer of the Year Awards ("B2BTOTY") organization is founded on the principle of enabling the Twitter community to get more out of Twitter. We know that you care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy very seriously. This Privacy Policy covers B2BTOTY's treatment of personal information that we gather when you are on the Website. This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that B2BTOTY does not own or control, or to individuals that B2BTOTY does not employ or manage, including but not limited to the third-party sites that may be accessed through B2BTOTY.

What information does B2BTOTY collect?

In connection with your use of the Website, we ask for and may collect a variety of information from you in different ways.

We collect the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail, aggregate information on what pages consumers access or visit, and information volunteered by the consumer (such as survey information and/or site registrations). In addition to the individually-oriented information above, we also collect and store statistics and other information about the online activities or users, such as tracking the number of people who view certain pages or use certain features of the Website.

The information we collect is used to improve the content of our Web pages and the quality of our service, such as the following general purposes: products and services provision, billing, identification and authentication, services improvement, contact, and research. This information is not shared with or sold to other organizations for commercial purposes, except to provide products or services you've requested, when we have your permission, or if it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Terms of Service, or as otherwise required by law.

We do not collect your Twitter password. It means that we never have your Twitter password unless you expressly provide it.

Cookies

We sometimes collect non-identifiable information from visits to our Websites to help us provide better customer service. We collect this information through the use of various technologies, including one called "cookies". Cookies are small pieces of data, or data files, which are sent by a website to your web browser and stored on your computer's hard drive.

Sharing of your B2BTOTY account information

Because B2BTOTY enables people to interact within the Twitter community, information about the people who use B2BTOTY is an integral part of the B2BTOTY experience. We will neither rent nor sell your personal information (e.g., your name, address, email address, etc.) to anyone. We will never look at your personal information unless you are having technical difficulties, it is required by law, or it is necessary to maintain our system. We may disclose aggregated data and statistics in order to describe our Website and services to prospective partners, advertisers, sponsors, and other third parties for other lawful purposes.

B2BTOTY email communications

We will not provide your email address, should you provide it to us, to a third party except as required by applicable law or court order. You may receive notification emails or tweets from B2BTOTY which inform you of actions (e.g. if your suggestion is accepted) that have been performed on the B2BTOTY site. In addition, you may receive system emails or tweets (e.g. those regarding forgotten user passwords), and legal notices (e.g. updates to our policies) from us.

Children under 18 years of age

You must be 13 years and older to use the B2BTOTY website. As a result, B2BTOTY does not specifically collect information about children under the age of 13. If we learn that B2BTOTY has collected information from a child under the age of 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. We recommend that minors between the ages of 13 and 18 ask and receive their parents' permission before using B2BTOTY or sending information about themselves or anyone else over the Internet.

Additional Privacy Information

Please remember that any information you voluntarily disclose on-line, in any tweets, news or message postings or chat rooms, may be collected and used by others without your permission. Furthermore, if you provide any information to parties who provide websites that are linked to or from our Website, different rules may apply to their collection, use or disclosure of your personal information. We encourage you to review these sites' policies before revealing any sensitive or personal information.

Changes

B2BTOTY may periodically update this policy. We will post any changes to this policy on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice. Each version of this policy will be identified at the top of the page by its effective date.
