Privacy Policy

Your privacy is of paramount importance to ShareNotes.com and we want you to feel comfortable using our web site. With that in mind, this Privacy Policy sets forth the information gathering, use, and dissemination practices of SN Holdings LLC, its affiliate and subsidiary companies (collectively, “ShareNotes.com”) in connection with its Web site located at www.ShareNotes.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy addresses ShareNotes.com’s practices regarding information collected only directly through or from the Site – it does not address or govern any information gathering, use, or dissemination practices related to information collected from the visitor (sometimes referred to as "you" or "your") other than directly through or from the Site, including, without limitation, from or via telephone, facsimile, postal mail, personal delivery, or other or additional offline means or media. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into ShareNotes.com's Terms and Conditions of Use by reference, as if set forth fully therein, which must be reviewed and accepted by you. This privacy Policy is effective January 1, 2008.

Collection of Personal Information from Site Visitors

From time to time, our process requires us to collect personally identifiable information about you in order that we may appropriately serve you. For instance, we may collect such personally identifiable information such as your name, street address, e-mail address, telephone number, or social security number (required fields for registration). Providing us with other information is at your option. Like many web sites, we may also automatically receive general information that is contained in our server log files such as your IP address and cookie information. Subject to the foregoing, ShareNotes.com may collect or track (1) the home server domain names, e-mail addresses, type of client computer, files downloaded, search engine used, operating system, and type of Web browser of visitors to the Site, (2) the e-mail addresses of visitors that communicate with ShareNotes.com via e-mail, (3) information knowingly provided by the visitor in online forms, registration forms, surveys, e-mail, and other online avenues (including, without limitation, demographic and personal profile data), and (4) aggregate and user-specific information regarding which pages Site visitors access. ShareNotes.com may place Internet “cookies” on visitors’ hard drives. Internet cookies save data about individual visitors, such as the visitor’s name, password, user-name, shopping cart, screen preferences, and the pages of a site viewed by the visitor. When the visitor revisits the Site, ShareNotes.com may recognize the visitor by the Internet cookie and customize the visitor’s experience accordingly. Visitors may decline Internet cookies, if any, by using the appropriate feature of their Web client software, if available. When a visitor performs a search within the Site, ShareNotes.com , without limitation, may record information identifying the visitor or linking the visitor to the search performed. ShareNotes.com may also record limited information for every search request and use that information to solve technical problems with the services available directly or indirectly in connection with the Site and to calculate overall usage statistics.

Use of Personal Data Collected

Personal data collected by ShareNotes.com may be used by SHARENOTES.COM for many reasons, for example, for editorial and feedback purposes, for marketing and promotional purposes, for a statistical analysis of users’ behavior, for product development, for content improvement, for fulfillment of a requested transaction by a service provide, e.g. PayPal or recordkeeping, or to customize the content and layout of the Site. Aggregate data on visitors’ home servers may be used for internal purposes, and individually identifying information, such as names, postal and e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and other personal information which visitors voluntarily provide to ShareNotes.com, may be added to ShareNotes.com’s databases and used for future calls and mailings regarding Site updates, new products and services, and upcoming events. ShareNotes.com also may use Site visitor data to contact the Site visitors regarding account status and changes to the subscriber agreement (if applicable), Privacy Policy, and any other policies or agreements relevant to Site visitors.

Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties

Identifiable or non-identifiable data also may be disclosed or distributed to another party with which ShareNotes.com enters or reasonably may enter into a corporate transaction, such as, for example, a merger, consolidation, acquisition, or asset purchase, or to a third party pursuant to a subpoena, court order, or other form of legal process, in response to a request by or on behalf of any local, state, federal, or other government agency, department, or body, whether or not pursuant to a subpoena, court order, or other form of legal process, or if determined by ShareNotes.com in its sole judgment that such disclosure or distribution is appropriate to protect the life, health, or property of ShareNotes.com or any other person or entity. While ShareNotes.com may undertake efforts to see that any third party to which ShareNotes.com shares or otherwise discloses personal data is under an obligation to use the personal data solely for the purposes for which the data was disclosed, such third parties are independent third parties over which ShareNotes.com exercises no control. ShareNotes.com is not responsible for, and will not be liable for, their conduct, actions, omissions, or information handling or dissemination practices.

Third Party Websites
