Live The Dream Privacy Policy Q&A

What information does Live The Dream collect from the Site?
To maintain the Site, provide enhanced services and tailor the Site to your needs, we collect some Personal and Anonymous Information. When you visit certain areas of the Site, we may ask you to register by providing Personal Information. For example, In order to create a dream and use the functionality of My Dreams in this site, a user must first complete the registration form. During registration a user is required to give its contact information (such as email address).

In order for this website to properly fulfill its obligation to our customers, it is necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with information from 3rd party sources, including PayPal. This information is not shared with any additional outside parties.

From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.

We may also collect some Anonymous Information on the Site, including which pages are viewed by visitors to the Site and other similar data. As do most Web sites, the Site may use "cookies." A cookie is a small data file that a Web site can send to your browser to be stored automatically on your computer. Cookies are commonly used to track your visits to a site so you don't have to log in on every page and to analyze how you use the site. This allows Web site operators to serve you better.

How does Live The Dream use the information it collects from the Site?
Any Personal Information provided is to improve the experience to our user and no information is used for any promotional or advertising purpose. Live The Dream will not contact you or donors with any manner of third party advertising or promotion without your explicit permission. We generate our fees from subscriptions and not from any advertising or direct marketing. We strongly value this relationship and do not want to compromise this in any way.

Anonymous Information collected through the Site is used for maintenance, monitoring and market research uses, but this Anonymous Information will not be linked to you without your permission.

What choices do I have regarding the collection and use of information from the Site?
When you submit Personal Information at the Site, you can opt-out of receiving information from Live The Dream about Live The Dream and related services except in the circumstance regarding site and service announcement updates. Members with an active Dream are not able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important information about the service. We communicate with the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account via email.

You will also have the option to stop receiving emails from Dreamers concerning their specific dream. When you submit content to the Site, you will have an opportunity to opt out of receiving future communications by changing your preference in the accounts section of My Dreams. You may also set your Internet browser to reject cookies to limit the collection of Anonymous Information by the Site, but this may affect your ability to use some parts of the Site.

Live The Dream will not share your Personal Information with third parties, except in the very limited circumstances outlined in the next question and answer below. Your Personal Information is not otherwise sold, marketed or shared with third parties without your permission.

Are there any special circumstances that may require my information to be shared with third parties?
Live The Dream may disclose Personal or Anonymous Information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary or appropriate to conform to the law or comply with legal process served on Live The Dream, to protect and defend the rights or property of Live The Dream, the Live The Dream Service or our customers, whether or not required to do so by law, or to protect the personal safety of our customers or the public. Live The Dream reserves the right to contact appropriate authorities and disclose Personal or Anonymous Information to them at its discretion when it appears that individuals using our products or services are engaged in activities that are illegal or violate the Live The Dream User Agreement.

Is all of my information kept securely?
Live The Dream has security measures in place that are designed to protect your information. No financial transactions or sensitive financial information is ever accessible by Live The Dream or stored on Live The Dream servers. All financial exchanges occur on PayPal's secure, SSL protected servers. Note, you should never use the same email/password combination as PayPal when signing up for a Live The Dream account. This website takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.

We encrypt all passwords and other sensitive information in our database. We also protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of your data will not occur, we work hard to prevent such occurrences.

How can I find out about changes to this Privacy Policy?
We will update this policy as our business and services expand and change. Updates to this policy will be posted on the Site, but in most cases will not be sent to you directly. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to review any changes that have been posted. One thing that will never change at Live The Dream is our commitment to your privacy.
