Collection of Your Personal Information
For offering our services at different levels, we may ask you to provide personal information, i.e., information that can be used to contact you or determine your specific identity such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone numbers. We may also collect demographic information, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites. If you choose to make a purchase or sign up for a paid subscription service, we may ask for additional information, such as your credit card number and billing address that is used to create a billing account.
To enable you to access some of our services, you will be asked to sign in with an e-mail address and password, which we refer to as your credentials. You can use the same credentials to sign and use different services of mindfiesta.com. If you access our services via a mobile phone, you may use the same credentials to sign in. As part of creating your credentials, you may also be requested to provide questions and secret answers, which we use to help verify your identity and assist in resetting your password, as well as an alternate or child's email address. Some services may require added security, and in these cases, you may be asked to create an additional security key. Finally, a unique ID number will be assigned to your credentials which will be used to identify your credentials and associated information.
For purposes of statistics, and also to refine our services, we may collect information about your visit, including the pages you view, the links you click and other actions taken in connection with mindfiesta.com sites and services. Since we also deliver advertisements and provide website analytics of non-mindfiesta.com sites and services, we may collect information about page views on these third party sites as well. Additionally, we may collect certain standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring Web site addresses.
In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions with mindfiesta.com, information collected through surveys may be combined with information obtained through other Mindfiesta.com services. We may also supplement the information we collect with information obtained from other companies. For example, we may use services from other companies that enable us to derive a general geographic area based on your IP address in order to customize certain services to your geographic area.
All such information pertaining to yourself or Children´s Information (Please see below), gathered by us for the purposes described herein, is collectively referred to in this Statement as “Personal Information”.
Use of Your Personal Information
Mindfiesta.com collects and uses your Personal Information to operate and improve its sites and deliver the services or carry out the transactions you have requested. These uses may include providing you with more effective customer service; making the sites or services easier to use by eliminating the need for you to repeatedly enter the same information; performing research and analysis aimed at improving our products, services and technologies; and displaying content and advertising that are customized to your interests and preferences.
We may use some of the information we collect in order to personalize the ads we show you. However, we have designed our systems to select ads based only on data that do not personally and directly identify you. For example, we may select the ads we display according to certain general interest categories or segments based on demographic data, including any you may have provided when creating an account (e.g. age, zip or postal code, gender), general demographic data acquired from other companies, and a general geographic location derived from your IP address, the pages you view and links you click when using mindfiesta.com and its partners´ web sites and services.
When we display personalized ads, we take a number of steps designed to protect your privacy. For example, we store page views, clicks and search terms used for ad personalization separately from your contact information or other data that directly identifies you (such as your name, e-mail address, etc.). Further, our technology and process keeps a clear demarcation between your personal data and data collected through other means, preventing unauthorized correlation of this data.
We also use your Personal Information to communicate with you. We may send certain mandatory service communications such as welcome letters, invoice, payment and/or billing reminders, information on technical service issues, updates, events, periodic member letters and other related announcements. We may also occasionally send you product surveys or promotional mailings to inform you of other products or services available from Mindfiesta.com and its affiliates.

A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.
mindfiesta.com websites use cookies to store your preferences and other information on your computer in order to save you time by eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information and to display your personalized content and appropriate advertising on your later visits to these sites.
When you sign in to a site using your credentials, we store your unique ID number, and the time you signed in, in an encrypted cookie on your hard disk. This cookie allows you to move from page to page at the site without having to sign in again on each page. When you sign out, these cookies are deleted from your computer. We also use cookies to improve the sign in experience. For example, your e-mail address may be stored in a cookie that will remain on your computer after you sign out.

Controlling "Spam" or Unsolicited E-mail
mindfiesta.com is concerned about controlling unsolicited commercial e-mail, or "spam." mindfiesta.com will not sell, lease or rent its e-mail subscriber lists to third parties. While mindfiesta.com continues to actively review and implement new technology, such as expanded filtering features, there is no currently available technology that will totally prevent the sending and receiving of unsolicited e-mail. Using junk e-mail tools and being cautious about the sharing of your e-mail address while online will help reduce the amount of unsolicited e-mail you receive.
