Our servers automatically recognize visitors’ IP addresses (the number assigned to computers on the Internet), domain names, the activity of the visitor’s browser when the visitor is viewing the Web site; the site path of visitors; the time visitors come to the Web site and length of visit.

PeopleVine uses "cookies" and "web beacons" to collect data. A cookie is a small text file containing a random and unique identifier that either PeopleVine or its third party web analytics provider on behalf of PeopleVine transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser (unless you set your browser to reject cookies) that enables PeopleVine or its third party web analytics provider’s system to recognize your browser.

Cookies are also used to track point of entry to point of registration for those users participating in our affiliate signup programs or to track and measure the success of a particular marketing campaign. Web beacons (also known as clear gifs) are typically a transparent graphic image (usually 1 pixel x 1 pixel) that is placed on a site and used by PeopleVine and its third party web analytics provider in combination with cookies to help us understand how you with the PeopleVine Web site. We use web beacons to measure visitor behavior, to help us improve visitor experience, and to manage site content.

Cookies

We use cookies to try and give you a better experience. Our privacy policy details how we use these cookies. If you don't like cookies, you can disable them altogether too. Please note that our service relies heavily on these cookies, and some portions of our site may not work properly if you disable cookies.

Security and Privacy

PeopleVines’ web site uses security measures to help protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. We store the information in two redundant databases in two secure environments at different locations with our data hosting service provider, Savvies Communications.

PeopleVine takes care to reinforce the importance of our web site visitors’ security and privacy among our employees. PeopleVine requires unique usernames and passwords that must be entered each time a user logs on to PeopleVine’s client interface. These safeguards help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of all data. The bottom line is that, because our business involves hosting application accounts, data security is paramount. We’re constantly reevaluating and deploying new technologies to enhance our security.

In order to accommodate changes in our business, we may sell or buy portions of our company or other companies or assets. In such transactions, visitor information may be one of the transferred assets. In the event that all or substantially all of PeopleVine’s assets are acquired in a transaction, our visitor information may be an asset that is reviewed and transferred. Such a transaction will be disclosed per the "Notification of Privacy Policy Changes" guidelines above. Also, as with the data we collect on behalf of our clients, we reserve the right to disclose any data we collect at our Web site if required by law or valid order of a court or other governmental authority or to protect the health and safety of PeopleVine’s employees or the general public.

PeopleVine is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any other web sites to which we link. We encourage our visitors to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that they visit.

The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number) on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
