CompleteMyGoals Principles
We built CompleteMyGoals to make it
easy to share information with your friends and people around you. We understand
you may not want everyone in the world to have the information you share on
CompleteMyGoals; that is why we give you control of your information. Our
default privacy settings limit the information displayed in your profile to your
networks and other reasonable community limitations that we tell you about.
CompleteMyGoals follows two core
principles:
1. You should have control over
your personal information.
CompleteMyGoals helps you share information with your friends and people around
you. You choose what information you put in your profile, including contact and
personal information, pictures, interests and groups you join. And you control
the users with whom you share that information through the privacy settings on
the My Privacy
page.
2. You should have access to the
information others want to share.
There is an increasing amount of information available out there, and you may
want to know what relates to you, your friends, and people around you. We want
to help you easily get that information.
Sharing
information should be easy. And we want to provide you with the privacy tools
necessary to control how and with whom you share that information. If you have
questions or ideas, please send them to
privacy@completemygoals.com.

CompleteMyGoals’ Privacy Policy
CompleteMyGoals’ Privacy Policy is
designed to help you understand how we collect and use the personal information
you decide to share, and help you make informed decisions when using
CompleteMyGoals, located at www.
CompleteMyGoals.com and its
directly associated domains (collectively, “CompleteMyGoals" or "Website")
By using or accessing
CompleteMyGoals, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy
Policy.
The Information We Collect
When you visit CompleteMyGoals you
provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly
choose to disclose that is collected by us and Web Site use information
collected by us as you interact with our Web Site.
When you register with
CompleteMyGoals, you provide us with certain personal information, such as your
name, your email address, your telephone number, your address, your gender,
schools attended and any other personal or preference information that you
provide to us.
When you enter CompleteMyGoals, we
collect your browser type and IP address. This information is gathered for all
CompleteMyGoals visitors. In addition, we store certain information from your
browser using "cookies." A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's
computer tied to information about the user. We use session ID cookies to
confirm that users are logged in. These cookies terminate once the user closes
the browser. By default, we use a persistent cookie that stores your login ID
(but not your password) to make it easier for you to login when you come back to
CompleteMyGoals. You can remove or block this cookie using the settings in your
browser if you want to disable this convenience feature.
When you use CompleteMyGoals, you
may set up your personal profile, form relationships, send messages, perform
searches and queries, form groups, set up events, add applications, and transmit
information through various channels. We collect this information so that we can
provide you the service and offer personalized features. In most cases, we
retain it so that, for instance, you can return to view prior messages you have
sent or easily see your friend list. When you update information, we usually
keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to
enable reversion to the prior version of that information.
You post User Content (as defined
in the CompleteMyGoals
Terms of Use)
on the Site at your own risk. Although we allow you to set privacy options that
limit access to your pages, please be aware that no security measures are
perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other Users with whom
you may choose to share your pages and information. Therefore, we cannot and do
not guarantee that User Content you post on the Site will not be viewed by
unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy
settings or security measures contained on the Site. You understand and
acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of User Content may remain viewable
in cached and archived pages or if other Users have copied or stored your User
Content.
Any improper collection or misuse
of information provided on CompleteMyGoals is a violation of the CompleteMyGoals
Terms of Service and should be reported to
privacy@CompleteMyGoals.com.
If you choose to use our invitation
service to tell a friend about our site, we will ask you for information needed
to send the invitation, such as your friend's email address. We will
automatically send your friend a one-time email or instant message inviting him
or her to visit the site. CompleteMyGoals stores this information to send this
one-time invitation, to register a friend connection if your invitation is
accepted, and to track the success of our referral program. Your friend may
contact us at
info@CompleteMyGoals.com to request that we remove this information from our
database.
CompleteMyGoals may also collect
information about you from other sources, such as newspapers, blogs, instant
messaging services, and other users of the CompleteMyGoals service through the
operation of the service (e.g., photo tags) in order to provide you with more
useful information and a more personalized experience.
By using CompleteMyGoals, you are
consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed in the United
States.
Children Under Age 13
CompleteMyGoals does not knowingly
collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 or
knowingly allow such persons to register. If you are under 13, please do not
attempt to register for CompleteMyGoals or send any information about yourself
to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one
under age 13 may provide any personal information to or on CompleteMyGoals. In
the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child
under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that
information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any
information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at
info@CompleteMyGoals.com.
Children Between the Ages of 13 and 18
We recommend that minors over the
age of 13 ask their parents for permission before sending any information about
themselves to anyone over the Internet.
Use of Information Obtained by CompleteMyGoals
When you register with
CompleteMyGoals, you create your own profile and privacy settings. Your profile
information, as well as your name, email and photo, are displayed to people in
the networks specified in your privacy settings to enable you to connect with
people on CompleteMyGoals. We may occasionally use your name and email address
to send you notifications regarding new services offered by CompleteMyGoals that
we think you may find valuable.
Profile information is used by
CompleteMyGoals primarily to be presented back to and edited by you when you
access the service and to be presented to others permitted to view that
information by your privacy settings. In some cases where your privacy settings
permit it (e.g., posting to your wall), other CompleteMyGoals users may be able
to supplement your profile.
Profile information you submit to
CompleteMyGoals will be available to users of CompleteMyGoals who belong to at
least one of the networks you allow to access the information through your
privacy settings (e.g., school, geography, friends of friends). Your name,
network names, and profile picture thumbnail will be available in search results
across the CompleteMyGoals network and those limited pieces of information may
be made available to third party search engines. This is primarily so your
friends can find you and send a friend request. People who see your name in
searches, however, will not be able to access your profile information unless
they have a relationship to you (friend, friend of friend, member of your
networks, etc.) that allows such access based on your privacy settings.
CompleteMyGoals may send you
service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of
the service. For instance, if a friend sends you a new message or poke, or
someone posts on your wall, you may receive an email alerting you to that fact.
Generally, you
may opt out of such emails here, though CompleteMyGoals reserves the right to send you
notices about your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email
notifications.
CompleteMyGoals may use information
in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do
this for purposes such as aggregating how many people in a network like a band
or movie and personalizing advertisements and promotions so that we can provide
you CompleteMyGoals. We believe this benefits you. You can know more about the
world around you and, where there are advertisements, they're more likely to be
interesting to you. For example, if you put a favorite movie in your profile, we
might serve you an advertisement highlighting a screening of a similar one in
your town. But we don't tell the movie company who you are.
We may use information about you
that we collect from other sources, including but not limited to newspapers and
Internet sources such as blogs, instant messaging services, CompleteMyGoals
Platform developers and other users of CompleteMyGoals, to supplement your
profile. Where such information is used, we generally allow you to specify in
your privacy settings that you do not want this to be done or to take other
actions that limit the connection of this information to your profile (e.g.,
removing photo tag links).
Sharing Your Information with Third Parties
CompleteMyGoals is about sharing
information with others — friends and people in your networks — while providing
you with privacy settings that restrict other users from accessing your
information. We allow you to choose the information you provide to friends and
networks through CompleteMyGoals. Our network architecture and your privacy
settings allow you to make informed choices about who has access to your
information. We do not provide contact information to third party marketers
without your permission. We share your information with third parties only in
limited circumstances where we believe such sharing is 1) reasonably necessary
to offer the service, 2) legally required or, 3) permitted by you. For example:
-
Your news feed and mini-feed may
aggregate the information you provide and make it available to your friends and
network members according to your privacy settings. You may set your preferences
for your news feed and mini-feed here.
-
Unlike most sites on the Web, CompleteMyGoals limits access to site information
by third party search engine "crawlers" (e.g. Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask).
CompleteMyGoals takes action to block access by these engines to personal
information beyond your name, profile picture, and limited aggregated data about
your profile (e.g. number of wall postings).
-
We may provide information to service providers to help us bring you the
services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate our
business, such as to host the service at a co-location facility for servers, to
send out email updates about CompleteMyGoals, to remove repetitive information
from our user lists, to process payments for products or services, to offer an
online job application process, or to provide search results or links (including
sponsored links). In connection with these offerings and business operations,
our service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a
limited time in connection with these business activities. Where we utilize
third parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement
reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that
information to the CompleteMyGoals -specified purposes.
-
We occasionally provide demonstration accounts that allow non-users a glimpse
into the CompleteMyGoals world. Such accounts have only limited capabilities
(e.g., messaging is disabled) and passwords are changed regularly to limit
possible misuse.
-
We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests,
such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do
not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information
request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal
standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we
believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or
property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the
CompleteMyGoals service or using the CompleteMyGoals name, or to prevent
imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies,
lawyers, agents or government agencies.
-
We let you choose to share information with marketers or electronic commerce
providers through sponsored groups or other on-site offers.
-
We may offer stores or provide services jointly with other companies on
CompleteMyGoals. You can tell when another company is involved in any store or
service provided on CompleteMyGoals, and we may share customer information with
that company in connection with your use of that store or service.
-
CompleteMyGoals. In order to provide
you as a CompleteMyGoals user with clear disclosure of the activity information
being collected on third party sites and potentially shared with your friends on
CompleteMyGoals, we collect certain information from that site and present it to
you after you have completed an action on that site. You have the choice to have
CompleteMyGoals discard that information, or to share it with your friends.
To learn more about the operation of the service, we encourage you to read the tutorial here. To opt out of the service altogether, click here.
Like many other websites that interact with third party sites, we may receive some information even if you are logged out from CompleteMyGoals, or that pertains to non-CompleteMyGoals users, from those sites in conjunction with the technical operation of the system. In cases where CompleteMyGoals receives information on users that are not logged in, or on non-CompleteMyGoals users, we do not attempt to associate it with individual CompleteMyGoals accounts and will discard it. -
If the ownership of all or substantially all of the CompleteMyGoals business, or
individual business units owned by CompleteMyGoals, Inc., were to change, your
user information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue
operations. In any such transfer of information, your user information would
remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.
When you use CompleteMyGoals,
certain information you post or share with third parties (e.g., a friend or
someone in your network), such as personal information, comments, messages,
photos, videos, Marketplace listings or other information, may be shared with
other users in accordance with the privacy settings you select. All such sharing
of information is done at your own risk. Please keep in mind that if you
disclose personal information in your profile or when posting comments,
messages, photos, videos, Marketplace listings or other items , this information
may become publicly available.
Links
CompleteMyGoals may contain links
to other websites. We are of course not responsible for the privacy practices of
other web sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site to
read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally
identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information
collected by CompleteMyGoals.
Third Party Advertising
Advertisements that appear on
CompleteMyGoals are sometimes delivered (or "served") directly to users by third
party advertisers. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens.
These third party advertisers may also download cookies to your computer, or use
other technologies such as JavaScript and "web beacons" (also known as "1x1
gifs") to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising
content. Doing this allows the advertising network to recognize your computer
each time they send you an advertisement in order to measure the effectiveness
of their ads and to personalize advertising content. In this way, they may
compile information about where individuals using your computer or browser saw
their advertisements and determine which advertisements are clicked.
CompleteMyGoals does not have access to or control of the cookies that may be
placed by the third party advertisers. Third party advertisers have no access to
your contact information stored on CompleteMyGoals unless you choose to share it
with them.
This privacy policy covers the use
of cookies by CompleteMyGoals and does not cover the use of cookies or other
tracking technologies by any of its advertisers.
Changing or Removing Information
Access and
control over most personal information on CompleteMyGoals is readily available
through the profile editing tools. CompleteMyGoals users may modify or delete
any of their profile information at any time by logging into their account.
Information will be updated immediately. Individuals who wish to deactivate
their CompleteMyGoals account may do so on the My
Goals page. Removed information may persist in
backup copies for a reasonable period of time but will not be generally
available to members of CompleteMyGoals.
Where you make use of the
communication features of the service to share information with other
individuals on CompleteMyGoals, however, (e.g., sending a personal message to
another CompleteMyGoals user) you generally cannot remove such communications.
Security
CompleteMyGoals takes appropriate
precautions to protect our users' information. Your account information is
located on a secured server behind a firewall. When you enter sensitive
information (such as credit card number or your password), we encrypt that
information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). (To learn more about
SSL, go to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer). Because email and instant messaging are not recognized
as secure communications, we request that you not send private information to us
by email or instant messaging services. If you have any questions about the
security of CompleteMyGoals Web Site, please contact us at
privacy@CompleteMyGoals.com
Terms of Use, Notices and Revisions
Your use of CompleteMyGoals, and
any disputes arising from it, is subject to this Privacy Policy as well as our
Terms of Use and all of its dispute resolution provisions including arbitration,
limitation on damages and choice of law. We reserve the right to change our
Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use at any time. Non-material changes and
clarifications will take effect immediately, and material changes will take
effect within 30 days of their posting on this site. If we make changes, we will
post them and will indicate at the top of this page the policy's new effective
date. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by
email, or through notice on our home page. We encourage you to refer to this
policy on an ongoing basis so that you understand our current privacy policy.
Unless stated otherwise, our current privacy policy applies to all information
that we have about you and your account.
