BeatThat!'s Privacy Policy
DigitalAdvisor LLC values your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy is effective March 1, 2008 and describes the types of information that BeatThat.com gathers from visitors and how that information is used. DigitalAdvisor reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. The currently operative Privacy Policy will always be available by clicking on the Privacy Policy link on the BeatThat.com home page. Please read this policy carefully and, if you have any questions, please send e-mail to admin at digitaladvisor.com.
We do not collect any personally identifiable information unless you specifically provide it to us. You may provide such information to us by registering as a Deal Finder or by otherwise specifically providing such information to us. If you do not specifically provide personally identifiable information to us, then we do not have it.
Unregistered Users
We collect certain information necessary to assist us in operating the BeatThat.com website. We log your IP address to assist us in diagnosing server problems, administering our website, and tracking usage statistics. Your IP address is provided to you by your Internet Service Provider and may be constant or may vary each time you access the Internet, depending on the type of Internet service you have. We do not try to identify you through your IP address and it would be extremely difficult for us to do so.
If you click through to the BeatThat.com website from another website, then we collect that information. This helps us learn where our visitors are coming from and helps us make the BeatThat.com website even better. All such information is collected and used only in the aggregate and although we can generate reports to help us understand the information as a whole, we cannot generate reports about specific users. If you have provided personal information to another website from which you click through to the BeatThat.com website, then you should review the privacy policy of that website to determine what information that website collects and how it is used. At present, the BeatThat.com website does not receive any personal information you may have provided to any website not operated by DigitalAdvisor and we have no plans to do so. If our plans should change, we will modify this Privacy Policy to reflect that change before any change is implemented, and any such personal information would be subject to this Privacy Policy.
We may place small files known as “cookies” on your computer’s hard drive to help us learn about how visitors use our website and to provide our users with a better experience. A cookie may, for example, contain certain information that allows us to track your path through the BeatThat.com website and to determine whether you are a return visitor. Cookies do not permit us to personally identify you and cannot access any other data on your computer. Your web browser may provide a way for you to refuse cookies and you are free to do so without affecting your ability to access the BeatThat.com website. However, you will lose the ability to personalize your experience on the BeatThat.com website, including the ability to “watch” products, to post comments or reviews, and to otherwise participate in any of our Interactive Areas. Cookies are harmless, so we encourage you to allow us to place one on your computer so that you can reap the full benefits of the BeatThat.com website.
DailyDeal Winners
If you submit lots of winning deals to the BeatThat?.com website and the payments you earn exceed $600 in any calendar year, then we will be required to collect personally identifiable information from you. We are required to collect this information in order to comply with Internal Revenue Service regulations and to satisfy our obligation to report payments exceeding that amount. The information we will collect from you is the information required in the IRS Form W-9, which is available here. That information includes your real name, current address, and your Social Security or Taxpayer Identification Number. We will provide this information to the IRS as required to comply with United States tax laws. Deal Finders that are not citizens or residents of the United States or its territories or possessions and who submit deals for which they receive more than $600 per calendar year will be required to complete an IRS Form W-8BEN, available here. The information required by the Form W-8BEN includes your real name and current address. We are not required to provide this information to the IRS except as part of an audit or other review of our records by the IRS to determine our compliance with the law.
Disclosure of Personal Information
Simply put: We do not disclose your personal information to any third party, except as may be required by law. We do not sell or rent any personally identifiable information to any third party. We may share personally identifiable information with third-parties that we specifically engage to provide services to DigitalAdvisor or to the BeatThat.com website such as market research, marketing services, and advertising agencies, but in those circumstances we will require those parties to use that information solely for the purpose of providing those services to DigitalAdvisor or the BeatThat.com website.
DigitalAdvisor must cooperate with legal authorities, and may be required to disclose personally identifiable information in response to requests from law enforcement authorities, or in response to a subpoena or other legal process. In the unlikely event that this should happen, we will provide only the information we must provide. We may also disclose personally identifiable information if we believe we must in order to prevent a violation of the law. By using the BeatThat.com website and by providing personally identifiable information to us, you consent to our doing so, in our sole discretion. You also agree that we may disclose personally identifiable information in the course of legal proceedings, if we reasonably believe that doing so might mitigate our liability or assist us in enforcing our legal rights. We also may share your information in connection with a corporate transaction, such as a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, and in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.
Collection of Personally Identifiable Information by Third-Party Sites.
The BeatThat.com website contains links to web sites of third parties, including sellers of the products shown on the BeatThat.com website. When you leave our website for a third-party website, we do not send any personally identifiable information to that website. However, we have no control over any third-party website or over any personally identifiable information that any third-party website may collect from you. For example, if you locate a deal on the BeatThat.com website and click through to a third-party website to purchase a product, you will be providing personally identifiable information, which may include your name, address, and credit card information, to that third-party website. Before providing any personally identifiable information to any such third-party website, you should review that website’s terms of use and privacy policy and make sure that they are acceptable to you.
DigitalAdvisor takes reasonable steps and complies with all applicable laws to protect your personally identifiable information. However, it is possible that third parties may unlawfully intercept transmissions of personal information, or otherwise access that information. In the unlikely event that someone should gain access to personally identifiable information, DigitalAdvisor will comply with any applicable laws on the notification of persons affected by the disclosure of personally identifiable information.
Children’s Privacy
This website is a general audience site, and we do not knowingly collect information about children. Should a child whom we know to be under 13 send personal information to us, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child to inform him or her that we must have parental consent before receiving his or her personal information.
Changes to this Privacy Policy.
We reserve the right to change this policy. If we make material changes that will affect personal information we have already collected from you, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the changes and to give you the opportunity to amend or cancel your registration.
