This Privacy Policy ("Policy") applies to the website owned and operated by Business Connect, LLC ("Company," "we," or "us") located at www.passitto.com (the "Site"). The Policy is designed to tell you how we collect and use personal information (as defined below) so you can make an informed decision about using the Site. Please read this Policy before using the Site or submitting any personal information to us or to the Site. By using the Site, you represent that you are eighteen years old or older and you consent to the information collection and use practices described herein. We reserve the right to change the provisions of this Policy at any time by posting a revised Policy on the Site and indicating on the Policy the date it was last updated. Your use of the Site following the posting of such changes or revised statement shall constitute your acceptance of any such changes. We encourage you to review our Policy whenever you visit the Site to determine if any changes have been made and to make sure that you understand how any personal information you provide will be used.

As used herein, the term "personal information" generally means information that specifically identifies an individual (such as user's name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card or other account number) or that is associated with an identifiable person (such as demographic information or information about a person's activities when such information is linked to personally identifying information). However, personal information does not cover, any publicly available information and public records. Personal information also does not include "aggregate" information, which is data we collect about the use of the Site or categories of Site users, from which any personal information has been removed. For example, information that seven percent of the Site's registered users identify themselves as male, is aggregate information. We collect aggregate data for a number of purposes, including to help us understand trends and user needs so that we can better consider new publications, products and services, and tailor existing publications, products and services to user desires. This policy in no way limits or restricts our collection of aggregate information.

Personal information may be collected in a number of ways when you visit the Site or use the various services and activities available on the Site. At several places on the Site, we may collect certain information that you voluntarily provide to us, to the Site, or to other users which may contain personal information. For example, if you register for the Site, send us an e-mail, contact or provide feedback, or submit Client Data (as defined in the “Terms and Conditions”), we may collect your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, and other personal, professional, demographic and business information that you provide. If you list or update your profile ("Profile"), we may also collect your photographs and professional and business information about you, your business offerings/details and your educational background. In addition, from time to time we may collect demographic, contact or other personal or demographic information you provide in connection with your participation in surveys, promotional offers, forums and other interactive areas of the Site.

When you visit our Site, some information is also automatically collected through the use of log files, such as your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address, your computer's operating system, the browser type, the address of a referring web site and your activity on the Site. We use this information for purposes such as analyzing trends, administering the Site, improving customer service, diagnosing problems with our servers, tracking user movement, and gathering broad demographic information for aggregate use. We may also automatically collect certain information through the use of "cookies." Cookies are small data files that are stored on a user's hard drive at the request of a website to enable the website to recognize users who have previously visited them and retain certain information such as customer preferences and history. If we combine cookies with or link them to any of the personally identifying information, we would treat this information as personal information. If you wish to block, erase, or be warned of cookies, please refer to your browser instructions or help screen to learn about these functions. However, if your browser is set not to accept cookies or if a user rejects a cookie, you may not be able to sign in to the Site and will not be able to access certain Site features or services.

We may also use third parties to serve ads on the Site, provide certain functionalities (such as maps), or to collect, track and analyze non-personally identifiable usage and volume statistical information from users, such as the user's browser type, operating system, browsing behavior and demographic information. These third parties may collect personal information from you in connection with the services they provide and may place cookies, web beacons or other devices on your computer to collect nonpersonal information which may be used, among other things, to deliver advertising targeted to your interests and to better understand the usage and visitation of our Site and the other sites tracked by these third parties. We are not responsible for, and do not control, any actions or policies of any third party service providers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Google Maps imagery is supplied by Google, Inc., and use thereof is subject to the Google Privacy Statement.

In general, we use personal information we collect to facilitate your use of the Site, to provide you with information, products and services you request, to administer and assist us with the operation of the Site and of our business, and for the purpose for which the information was provided. For example, we may use the information we collect:

• to send you a welcoming e-mail and to contact you about your use of the Site, such as for administrative purposes or to provide you with customer service;
• to verify your identity;
• to respond to your e-mails, submissions, comments, requests or complaints;
• to request feedback and to enable us to develop, customize and improve the Site and our information and services;
• for the specific purpose for which the information was provided.

In addition, if you so indicate at the time of registration or on the Privacy/Notification webpage, we may use the information we collect to send you news and product and service updates, including contacting you about our services, products, activities, special events or offers and for other marketing, informational, product development and promotional purposes, including notifications about new features and or improvements to the Site or our products and services.

We may also receive information from third parties with whom we have business relationships, and may combine this information with the other personal information we have about you. In such cases, this Policy governs our use and disclosure of such information.

We do not sell, share, or rent any personal information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this Policy without first obtaining your consent, although we may provide aggregate information or other nonpersonal information to third parties without your authorization. We may share your contact information with third parties if you have indicated to us that you wish to receive information from such parties. In the event that we engage or partner with third party vendors, consultants or other service providers in connection with the operation of the Site and our business ("Service Providers"), we may share personal information with such Service Providers who need access to such information to carry out their work for us. For example, we may use credit card processing or verification service companies to verify credit card information. In addition, we may offer various features through a third party service provider. For example, mapping services are provided by Google Maps. When you use these services, you are providing information directly to the provider of these services, and the provision of such information is subject to such party's own privacy policy. We are not responsible for any information you provide to these parties directly, and we encourage you to become familiar with their practices before disclosing information directly to such third parties with which you come into contact.

You should also note that information that you post to the Site, may become publicly available. For example, information you post in your Profile or in feedback, groups, forums, blogs or any other interactive areas, or other information that is provided for the purpose of being shared may be made publicly available and can potentially be viewed by anyone. Your posting to the Site constitutes your consent to share such information publicly.

We also may disclose personal information when we are required to or we believe it is appropriate to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena, warrant or court order); to enforce or apply this Policy or our other policies or agreements; to initiate, render, bill, and collect for amounts owed to us; to protect our or our users' or our rights, property or safety; to protect our customers our us from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of our Site; or if we believe that an emergency involving the danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires disclosure of communications or justifies disclosure of personal information. In addition, information about our customers, including personal information, may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of company assets, as well as in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership in which personally identifiable information could be transferred to third parties as one of the business assets of the Company.

Please note: The Site may contain links to other sites, including the Company’s blogs or other interactive forums hosted by a third party, such as the Site’s blog which is hosted by Blogger.com. Please be aware that although we may participate in or utilize such other sites, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Site and to read the privacy policies of any Web site that collects personally identifiable information. Similarly, if you entered this Site through another website, we are also not responsible for the privacy practices of that website, and you should review the privacy policy of the originating website before providing any personal information to that website. This privacy policy applies solely to information collected by us.

The Company endeavors to secure your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure by putting into place physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect through this Site. For example, when we collect credit card information, we use a secure server with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption software and store such credit card information using encryption methods designed to prevent unauthorized access. Additionally, your account information is accessible online only through the use of a password. Please be aware, however, that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. To protect the confidentiality of your personal information, you must keep your password confidential and not disclose it to any other person. You are responsible for all uses of the Site by any person using your password. Please advise us immediately by emailing us at support@passitto.com if you believe your password has been misused or disclosed to anyone other than yourself. You should also note that e-mail is not secure, and you should not send any confidential or sensitive information to us via an unsecured e-mail.

We will use your personal information to send you news and product and service updates, unless you "opt out" to receiving such e-mails by so indicating at the time of registration or by changing your account settings on the Privacy/Notification webpage on the Site. In addition, you may "opt out" of receiving marketing or promotional email from the Company by following the unsubscribe instructions or using the unsubscribe links within the e-mails that we send. Please note, however, that as long as you maintain an account, you may not "opt out" of receiving service or account-related e-mails from the Company.

If you have any questions or comments about this Policy or the practices relating to this Site, or you wish to verify, correct or delete any personal information we have collected, please contact us at support@passitto.com, and we will endeavor to respond to your inquiry or to correct, update or remove the personal information you have provided us as you indicate to the extent possible.
