Privacy Policy
OBriens Computer Service, a Wisconsin
corporation ("us", "we", or "our"), for its website and
registered Members created this Privacy Policy in order
to ensure the confidence of our Members, website
visitors and partners ("you" or "your"), and to
demonstrate our commitment to fair information practices
and the protection of privacy. Our Privacy Policy is
subject to change over time, so please review it
periodically for any updates.
1. Types of
Information Collected Traffic Data Collected. In
addition to the registration information you provide to
us to become a Member, we automatically track and
collect information when you visit the Website,
including your: (a) IP address; (b) domain server; (c)
type of computer; and (d) type of web browser
(collectively, "Traffic Data"). Traffic Data is
information that does not personally identify you but is
helpful for marketing purposes and for improving your
experience on the Website. We also use "cookies" to
customize content specific to your interests, to ensure
that you do not see the same advertisement repeatedly,
and to lead a registered Member directly to a login
screen. Cookies are small pieces of information that a
website places on your computer's hard drive for
tracking purposes. Like nearly all websites, we use
cookie information to improve the efficiency of customer
service, allow Members to easily change addresses, and
to add or cancel memberships by automatically verifying
that you are a Member. We also use cookies to enhance
the Website's content by compiling aggregate information
about what specific sections and pages that users visit.
Cookies may also be placed by third parties when you
click-through from the Website to an advertisement or
otherwise link to a website maintained by a third party.
Though we may encourage third parties to adhere to
appropriate privacy practices, we are not responsible
for the policies or practices of third parties and you
should review them carefully before providing any
personally identifying information to such parties.
Personally Identifying Information. In order for you
to access certain Member services and to purchase
products that we offer on the Website, we require you to
provide us with information that personally identifies
you (collectively, "Personal Information"). Personal
Information may include: (i) your name, mailing and
e-mail addresses (collectively, "Contact Data"); (ii)
your account or credit card number (collectively,
"Financial Data"); and (iii) your zip code, age and
income (collectively, "Demographic Data"). If you
communicate with us by email, post messages to any of
our chat groups, bulletin boards, or forums, if any,
complete online forms, surveys, contest entries, or the
like, any information provided in such communication may
be collected as Personal Information.
2. Uses
of Information Collected We use Contact Data to
send you information about our company, our products and
services, promotional material from our partners, or to
contact you when necessary concerning your membership.
We use your Financial Data to verify your qualifications
and to bill you for products and services. We use your
Demographic Data to customize and tailor your experience
on the Website by displaying content that we think you
might be interested in and according to your
preferences.
3. Sharing of Personal
Information We will share Demographic Data with
advertisers and other third parties for statistical
purposes, and only on an anonymous, aggregated basis. We
DO NOT share Contact Data or Financial Data of Members
with other companies or persons. However, we have no
control over any Personal Information you provide to a
third party whose website is linked to the Website or to
other third parties.

parties, unless such disclosure is necessary to: (a)
comply with a court order or other legal process; (b)
protect our rights or property; (c) enforce our Terms of
Service; or (d) protect someone's safety. Your Personal

already collected; (b) choose whether or not you wish us
to send you information about our company, or

we will cancel that credit card number, user name, or
