PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: December 1^st, 2008

Information Collection and Use

Ascend Interactive, Inc. (“Ascend,” “we” or “our”), a California corporation, respects the privacy concerns of each visitor (“Visitor”) that simply browses www.goalforit.com (the “Website”) and each person that registers with the Website (“Member”) (the term “User” refers to a Visitor or a Member).  Ascend has created this Privacy Policy to explain the type of information gathered from its User’s use of the Website and its services, and how such information may be used.

If you are between 13 and 17 years of age, you should have your parent’s or legal guardian’s permission to use this Website and the Service.  For the purpose of these Terms, if you are a minor, “you” or “your” as used herein shall be deemed to include your parent or legal guardian.

As a general policy, no “Personally Identifiable Information” (as defined below) is automatically collected from a Visitor’s visit to the Website.  However, certain non-personal information, including the type of browser being used, its operating system and the Visitor’s IP address, may be recorded by the standard operation of the Website’s internet servers.  This information can be used to help diagnose server problems, administer the Website and generally enhance the Visitor’s online experience.  This information will not be made accessible to any person or entity not authorized by or associated with Ascend. 

Personally Identifiable Information includes: (i) contact data (such as a User’s first and last name, physical street address, city, state, zip code, phone number and email address), (ii) demographic data (such as a User’s zip code, age and gender), and (iii) personal data necessary to become a Member.   

When we collect Personally Identifiable Information from you it is because you are voluntarily submitting such information in order to register as a Member of the Website or because you want us to furnish you with products, services, newsletters, or information, or in connection with content or suggestions you submit to Ascend for review. 

Members may also choose to provide or store Personally Identifiable Information in their profiles, including but not limited to date of birth, interests, hobbies, lifestyle choices, groups with whom they are affiliated (schools, companies), videos and/or pictures, private messages, bulletins or personal statements.  This information in a Member’s profile is provided at his or her sole discretion.

The profile of a minor who is between the ages of 13 and 17 shall be made “friends only” by default.  However, such minor will be able to make his/her profile “public” if he/she wishes to do so.

From time to time we may provide your Personally Identifiable Information to companies and individuals we engage or employ to perform services on our behalf (collectively “Service Providers”), such as analyzing information, providing marketing assistance and/or providing information technology and related services. 

Personally Identifiable Information will not be sold or leased to any person or entity without our authorization.  However, please be advised that certain Personally Identifiable Information becomes public record upon the posting of such information on the Website, even if you set your profile to “friends only.”   

Certain contact data may be used to determine the demographics of our Users and to distribute statistics and general marketplace information about Ascend.  This demographic information will usually only represent aggregate information and is not normally linked to any personal information that can identify a specific User.

Ascend may also disclose a User’s Personally Identifiable Information in special cases when Ascend has reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with Ascend’s rights or property, another User or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data stored on an User's hard drive that contains information about the User and that is used for record keeping purposes.  Cookies enable Ascend to track and target the interests of a User to enhance his or her experience on the Website.  Use of a cookie is in no way linked to any Personally Identifiable Information of the User.  Once the User closes the web browser, the cookie simply terminates.  Most web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies; however, a User can reset his or her web browser to reject all cookies.  If a User rejects the cookie, he or she may still use the Website, although the User's access to and use of some areas of the Website may be limited.

Sharing

We will share aggregated information with our partners and advertisers.  As discussed above, this information is not normally linked to any Personally Identifiable Information that can identify any individual User.

Ascend uses third parties (including contractors and service providers) to help with certain aspects of its operations, which may require disclosure of your Personally Identifiable Information to them.  As an example, Ascend may use a third party to host the Website or to perform other work that we may choose to outsource. 

The ads appearing on the Website are delivered to you by a third party.  Information about your visits to the Website, your age, gender, use of services, goals and other information may be used to tailor the ads that are served to you. 

We may also share some or all of your Personally Identifiable Information with any current or future “affiliate” (which means a parent company, a subsidiary, a joint venture, or other company that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Ascend) or current or potential business partners.

Links

Ascend is deeply committed to a User’s right to privacy.  However, please note that this Website’s Privacy Policy only applies to the Website and not to any other websites that a User may access from the Website, each of which may have privacy polices that are materially different from this Privacy Policy.  We encourage each User to be aware when he or she leaves the Website and to read the privacy policies of each and every other website.

Security

Ascend uses industry-standard measures to protect the Personally Identifiable Information you share with us from unauthorized access or disclosure.  However, you should know that no company, including Ascend, can fully eliminate security or other risks associated with the possession of Personally Identifiable Information. 

Except as provided for in this Privacy Policy and/or Terms, Ascend will not release any confidential User information without the prior written consent of the User unless compelled or required by a valid legal mechanism such as a search warrant, subpoena, or court order, or when we deem it necessary, in our sole discretion, to protect our rights and the safety of others. 

Notwithstanding the forgoing, we will have no liability to a User or to any third party arising out of any loss, misuse, destruction, or alternation of a User’s information.

Notification of Changes

If Ascend decides to change its Privacy Policy, Ascend will post those changes on the Website so that the Users are always aware of what information Ascend collects, how such information is used and under what circumstances, if any, such information is disclosed.  If at any point Ascend decides to use Personally Identifiable Information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, Ascend will notify the Users by way of email.  Each User will have a choice whether or not we use his or her information in this different manner.

Persons Less 13 Years of Age

Ascend will not knowingly collect Personally Identifiable Information directly from a minor who is 12 years of age or younger (a “Child”).  A Child shall not be granted his or her own Member account.  Instead, a Child’s parent or legal guardian may create a goal or goal chart for his/her Child under his/her own account.  As required by law, we will not use a Child’s Personally Identifiable Information in ways that are materially different from the ones described in this Privacy Policy without also providing notification of such practices and obtaining consent to any such different uses.
