TLC
Africa's Membership Privacy Policy
As
an Internet user, you have the right to expect any Web
Site to disclose its privacy policies which explain
how your personal information is collected, used, and
shared. You also have a responsibility to choose which
Web Sites you feel comfortable disclosing such information
to.
Item
A: Why do you need my personal information for Member
Registration?
In
order to provide community services and benefits to
you as a Member, TLC Africa maintains a limited amount
of your personal information given during Registration
and the optional Member Profile Survey. Your identifying
information protects your uniqueness as a TLC Africa
member, preventing others from using the same log-in
or Message Boards Screen Name.
We
also compile general Member info to create an in-house
demographic profile of our Members for the sole purpose
of bringing more relevant content and services to the
TLC Africa Online community, users and businesses. We
always welcome and rely upon your suggestions for improvements
and additional services.
Item
B: Who has access to my Member Registration & Profile
Survey information?
First,
we pledge that TLC Africa will under no circumstances
willingly give access to your Registration or Profile
Survey information to any third party, either commercial
or otherwise. Even in-house use of your information
is restricted and password-protected: only a limited
number of our Professional Staff can view your personal
demographic information.
The
information you entrust to us is protected on a secure
web server; we have made and continue to make substantial
efforts to achieve a well protected environment. However,
TLC Africa cannot completely guarantee that your information
will be immune from unauthorized access.
Item
C: What about Cookies?
TLC
Africa Registered Members are required to have Cookies
enabled on their computers. During a web session on
TLC Africa, we rely on this technology to allow you
to access your Registered Member profile and My TLC
Africa Member Info page as many times as you wish while
using the other pages of our site. Once initially logged-in,
you will not be prompted for your log-in name and password
again unless you log out. This mechanism is employed
solely for your convenience and for no other purpose.
Item D: Is any of my information public?
Please
be aware that, while your Registration and Profile information
is always confidential, all of your listing submissions
and postings to the public pages of TLC Africa are available
for all users to view. Therefore, listing submissions
and postings are not private information. We urge you
to always use caution and discretion when posting any
personally identifying information about yourself or
your household.
Some
of our listing submission forms require contact information
such as name and phone number; however, these pages
declare whether or not your personal information will
appear on the listing. In many cases, you can select
which pieces of information you want others to see on
the live Web Site.
Item
E: What will TLC Africa do with my public information?
Posting
communications on or through the Web Site automatically
grants TLC Africa a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable,
non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, publish,
edit, translate, distribute, perform, and display the
information alone or as part of other works in any form,
media, or technology whether now known or hereafter
developed. The foregoing grants shall include the right
to exploit any proprietary rights in such communication,
including but not limited to rights under copyright,
trademark, service mark or patent laws under any relevant
jurisdiction.
Item
F: TLC Africa Liability Disclaimer:
TLC
Africa specifically disclaims any liability with regard
to any actions resulting from your submissions and postings
to the public portion of the Web Site. Generally, any
communication which you post to the Web Site is considered
to be non-confidential and must comply with the Terms
of Service.
Item
G: Changes to This Privacy Policy:
TLC
Africa may from time to time update our Privacy Policy.
Registered Members will be notified by email of any
significant changes, or a prominent announcement will
be placed on the Web Site.
