WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY

The Nanny Option is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our information gathering and dissemination practices. If you have questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact The Nanny Option at the e-mail address provided at the end of this Privacy Policy.

1. WHAT INFORMATION IS COLLECTED.
In General. We collect a limited amount of personal information from you in certain areas of The Nanny Option website (the "Website") for various reasons. The following is a description of what information is collected:

Personal Information. When you decide to utilize The Nanny Option's services to recruit your nanny or find a position as a nanny, we need to know certain personal information, including your name, mail addresses, email address, phone number, and credit card information (families only). This information allows us to register you in our database and perform agreed to billing functions.

IP Addresses. An IP address is a number assigned to your computer when you connect to the Internet. As part of the protocol of the Internet, web servers can identify your computer by its IP address. In addition, web servers may be able to identify the type of browser and/or type of computer you are using. The Nanny Option collects IP addresses and related information for the purposes of system administration, to assess the traffic to the Website and to maintain and improve the Website. We do not link IP addresses to your personally identifiable information. We can and will use IP addresses, however, to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our Website Terms and Conditions or to protect our service, the Website, customers or others.

Use Of Cookies. Cookies are small bits of information that some websites (including the Website) transfer to an individual's hard drive for research purposes. The Nanny Option uses cookies to analyze the traffic, such as total visitors and pages viewed on the Website, and make improvements based on the data we collect. The Nanny Option never saves passwords or credit card information in cookies. The use of cookies has become a standard in the industry, especially at websites that provide any kind of personalized service. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can usually set your browser to refuse cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. If you refuse cookies, you may not be able to use some of the functionality of the Website. The Website’s advertisers and other partners may also use cookies in connection with the services and websites to which the Website links. We do not control these cookies.

2. HOW COLLECTED INFORMATION IS USED.
In General. The Nanny Option uses registration information to learn more about how visitors use the Website and to measure areas of interest. This allows The Nanny Option to build features and functionality that will enhance your Website experience. If you so choose when you register, registration information might also be used to send you information about new features and services on the Website or offered by The Nanny Option, or to send you information from selected third party product or service providers. We might also use this information to respond to e-mails, provide customer support, enforce our Website Terms and Conditions or other similar matters. Aggregate information is also used to help us run and maintain the Website, study traffic patterns and generally learn about the usage of the Website. The Nanny Option uses voluntarily submitted personal statements and testimonials, in their entirety or in edited form, in order to allow you to share your experiences with other users of the Website.

Government Authorities and Litigation. Sometimes a law, court order, or other judicial or administrative process requires us to provide information to a government authority or party to a private lawsuit. We will provide the information that we in good faith believe is required to comply with the law, order, or other process. We may also have to disclose certain information in court documents if we have to bring an action against you, for example, to collect a debt you owe us.

3. NO DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES. Except as noted above, we will not knowingly disclose or authorize the disclosure of personal identifiable information (other than aggregate statistical information) to any unaffiliated third party without your consent. The Nanny Option will not sell, trade, or rent your information to unaffiliated third parties.

4. LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES. While you are using the Website, you may be linked or directed to other third party websites outside the Website that are beyond The Nanny Option’s control. Each of these third parties may have a privacy policy different from that of The Nanny Option. The Nanny Option is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties. You should review the applicable privacy policies of these third party websites before providing personally identifiable information.

5. SECURITY PROCEDURES WE USE. We are very concerned with the security of your personally identifiable information and take great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your computer to our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us.

Once we receive your information, we take appropriate steps that we believe are reasonable to protect the security of your data on our system, both internally and from outsiders, and to ensure the integrity of the data we collect. We use a combination of technological and policy methods to protect this data. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and any account information. Please be aware that The Nanny Option will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or e-mail.

6. CHANGES IN THESE TERMS. We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time and will post notices on the Website at the time of any material changes to this Privacy Policy. Your continued use of the Website following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
