Overview: At Gallo Media Group, we respect the privacy needs of our valued customers and members. This Privacy Policy outlines what specific information is gathered on the Gallo Media Group site and how that information is used. If you have any specific questions about the Gallo Media Group Privacy Statement, please contact us via email.

Collection and Use of Information by Gallo Media Group:

Gallo Media Group explicitly asks when we need information that personally identifies you ("Personal Information"). Your personal information is used to create your personal access to products on the site, and to contact you in the course of using the products. Financial information that is collected is used to verify identity, and to bill either you or your company for products and services, as applicable. Demographic and profile data collected by Gallo Media Group may be used to tailor the Web site or any requested email communications, and to display information that is more relevant to you. Under no circumstances will Gallo Media Group make any personal information about an individual user available to anyone.

Your email address is used to only send you information that you have requested. As part of your use of any Gallo Media Group product, Gallo Media Group allows you to elect to receive, or not receive, certain information from Gallo Media Group or its partners. All emails that you have requested will have an option to unsubscribe. Unsubscribe requests are fulfilled within minutes and no further communications will be sent to users who have stated that they do not wish to receive the specified information. All Gallo Media Group partners who offer you information via email from our Web site must adhere to this unsubscribe policy.

While IP addresses (address of a computer) are logged to track a user's session, the user's identity is anonymous. Tracking IP addresses gives Gallo Media Group information about which parts of our site are used most often and what information is viewed. IP addresses are not linked to anything that can personally identify a visitor. Thus, session details are tracked, but the user is anonymous.

Information Use by Third Parties: It is Gallo Media Group policy to never provide your personal information to third parties without your express permission or only in instances where such disclosure is necessary to process transactions or provide services that you have requested. We do not release personal information about you as an individual. There are two exceptions to this policy. 1. if Gallo Media Group is compelled to do so by an appropriately empowered governmental authority. 2. if Gallo Media Group makes the Gallo Media Group technology or services available to you through its business partners. Gallo Media Group will not share with them any more information than is necessary to perform the transaction you have requested. Where you have purchased our services through a Gallo Media Group partner, we may provide customer name and business volume information to the partner. Such partners have agreed to use the information only in regard to analyzing the success of the partnership arrangement. Gallo Media Group only does business with partners who agree to respect our Privacy Policy.

Contact Lists, Campaign Content and Campaign Reports: Gallo Media Group ensures that all contact lists, email content and reports remain private and confidential. Gallo Media Group may scan the content of your campaigns to ensure it complies with our Terms of Use —- to protect against defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, obscene, profane, or threatening material that is racially or ethnically offensive. Gallo Media Group will not sell, rent, loan or invite external access to a customer's contact lists.

Information Exchanges and Transactions: SSL technology has been implemented throughout our application system. Information exchanges and transactions, including authentication, passwords, contact lists (uploading and storing online) and billing related data between you and our application system are strictly protected using this technology. This ensures that your session is completely private and secure from both external systems and other customers using our system.

Credit Card Information: Gallo Media Group allows you to purchase email marketing services. When credit card billing is chosen, information is transferred to Gallo Media Group's clearing house partner using industry-leading, secure transmission technology including SSL and HTTPS (the transmission standard used for transactions by major financial institutions). The information is then encrypted using Data Encryption Standard and stored securely so that it is ready to handle your transactions. Financial transactions are verified through WorldPay, the leading provider of Internet security solutions. WorldPay, is accredited by all major Security, Privacy and Certification Authorities.

The Bottom Line: Maintaining the privacy of your information is of paramount importance to us as it helps foster confidence, goodwill and stronger relationships with you, our customers. If, at any time, you have questions or concerns about our privacy practices, please feel free contact us.
