Privacy Policy
Gremolata Media group Incorporated, herein referred to as Gremolata.com, is committed
to protecting your privacy. Please read the Gremolata.com Online Privacy Statement
below and also any supplemental information listed to the right for additional details
about particular Gremolata.com sites and services that you may use.
This Gremolata.com Online Privacy Statement applies to data collected by Gremolata.com
through the majority of its websites and services, as well as its offline product
support services. It does not apply to those Gremolata.com sites, services and products
that do not display or link to this statement or that have their own privacy statements.
Collection of Your Personal Information
At some Gremolata.com sites, we ask you to provide personal information, such as
your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. We may also
collect demographic information, such as your Postal code or Zip code, age, gender,
preferences, interests and favorites. If you choose to make a purchase or sign up
for a paid subscription service, we will ask for additional information, such as
your credit card number and billing address that is used to create a Gremolata.com
billing account.
In order to access some Gremolata.com services, you will be asked to sign in with
an e-mail address and password, which we refer to as your credentials. In most cases,
these credentials will be part of the myGremolata.com credential. 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 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.
We may collect information about your visit, including the pages you view, the links
you click and other actions taken in connection with Gremolata.com sites and services.
We also deliver advertisements and provide website analytics tools on non-Gremolata.com
sites and services, and we may collect information about page views on these third
party sites as well.
When you receive newsletters or promotional e-mail from Gremolata.com, we may use
web beacons, customized links or similar technologies to determine whether the e-mail
has been opened and which links you click in order to provide you more focused e-mail
communications or other information.
In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions
with Gremolata.com, information collected through one Gremolata.com service may
be combined with information obtained through other Gremolata.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.
Use of Your Personal Information
Gremolata.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, content, services and technologies; and displaying content and advertising
that are customized to your interests and preferences.
Many of the websites and online services we offer are supported by advertising,
and as indicated above, we may use some of the information we collect in order to
personalize the ads we show you. However, we designed our systems to select ads
based only on data that does not personally and directly identify you. For example,
we may select the ads we display according to certain general interest categories
or segments that we have inferred based on (a) demographic data, including any you
may have provided when creating an account (e.g. age, Postal Code or Zip or postal
code, gender), general demographic data acquired from other companies, and a general
geographic location derived from your IP address, (b) the pages you view and links
you click when using Gremolata.com's and its partners' web sites and services, and
(c) the search terms you enter when using Google Search.
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, we have built
in technological and process safeguards designed to prevent the 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, information on technical
service issues, and security announcements. Some Gremolata.com services may send
periodic member letters that are considered part of the service. We may also occasionally
send you product surveys or promotional mailings to inform you of other products
or services available from Gremolata.com and its affiliates.
Personal information collected on Gremolata.com sites and services may be stored
and processed in Canada or any other country in which Gremolata.com or its affiliates,
subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by using a Gremolata.com site or
service, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.
Sharing of Your Personal Information
Except as described in this statement, we will not disclose your personal information
outside of Gremolata.com and its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates without
your consent. Some Gremolata.com sites allow you to choose to share your personal
information with select Gremolata.com partners so that they can contact you about
their products, services or offers. Other sites do not share your contact information
with third parties for marketing purposes, but instead may give you a choice as
to whether you wish to receive communications from Gremolata.com on behalf of external
business partners about a partner's particular offering (without transferring your
personal information to the third party).
Some Gremolata.com services may be co-branded and offered in conjunction with another
company. If you register for or use such services, both Gremolata.com and the other
company may receive information collected in conjunction with the co-branded services.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf,
such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support,
hosting websites, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of
our services. Those companies will be permitted to obtain only the personal information
they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality
of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
We may access and/or disclose your personal information if we believe such action
is necessary to: (a) comply with the law or legal process served on Gremolata.com;
(b) protect and defend the rights or property of Gremolata.com (including the enforcement
of our agreements); or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety
of users of Gremolata.com services or members of the public.
Accessing Your Personal Information
You may have the ability to view or edit your personal information online. In order
to help prevent your personal information from being viewed by others, you will
be required to sign in with your credentials (user ID and password). You can access
and update your profile on Gremolata.com.com by visiting the myGremolata.com Account
Settings Page.
Communication Preferences
You can stop the delivery of future promotional e-mail from Gremolata.com sites
and services by following the specific instructions in the e-mail you receive.
You may also have the option of proactively making choices about the receipt of
promotional e-mail, telephone calls, and postal mail from particular Gremolata.com
sites or services by visiting and signing into the myGremolata.com Account Settings
Page
Security of Your Personal Information
Gremolata.com is committed to protecting the security of your personal information.
We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal
information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store
the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access, which
are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential information
(such as a credit card number or password) over the Internet, we protect it through
the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
If a password is used to help protect your accounts and personal information, it
is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. Do not share this information
with anyone. If you are sharing a computer with anyone you should always choose
to log out before leaving a site or service to protect access to your information
from subsequent users.
Use of Cookies
Gremolata.com websites use "cookies" to enable you to sign in to our services and
to help personalize your online experience. 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.
Gremolata.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 myGremolata.com 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 User ID may be stored in a cookie that will remain on your computer after you
sign out. This cookie allows your User ID to be pre-populated, so that you will
only need to type your password the next time you sign in. If you are using a public
computer or do not otherwise want this information to be stored, you can select
the appropriate radio button on the sign-in page, and this cookie will not be used.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies
if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to sign in
or use other interactive features of Gremolata.com sites and services that depend
on cookies.
Use of Web Beacons
Gremolata.com Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons - sometimes
called single-pixel gifs - that may be used to assist in delivering cookies on our
sites and allow us to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded
services. We may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or our newsletters
in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
Gremolata.com may also employ Web beacons from third parties in order to help us
compile aggregated statistics regarding the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns
or other operations of our sites. We prohibit Web beacons on our sites from being
used by third parties to collect or access your personal information.
Finally, we may work with other companies that advertise on Gremolata.com sites
to place Web beacons on their sites in order to allow us to develop statistics on
how often clicking on an advertisement on a Gremolata.com site results in a purchase
or other action on the advertiser's site.
Advertisements Displayed by Third Parties
The majority of the online advertisements you see on Gremolata.com Web pages are
displayed by Gremolata.com. However, we allow third-party ad serving companies,
including ad networks, to display advertisements on Gremolata.com Web pages.
Ad serving companies often place a persistent cookie on your computer in order to
recognize your computer each time they display an online advertisement to you. Because
these companies may serve advertisements on many different websites, they may be
able to compile information over time about where you, or others who are using your
computer, saw and/or clicked on the advertisements they display. These companies
may use this information to make predictions about your characteristics or preferences
and to display targeted advertisements that they believe may be of interest to you.
They may also associate this information with your subsequent visit, purchase or
other activity on participating advertisers’ websites in order to determine the
effectiveness of the advertisements.
These companies may offer you a way to opt out of ad targeting based on their cookies.
You may find more information by clicking on the company names above and following
the links to the websites of each company. Some of these companies are members of
the Network Advertising Initiative, which offers a single location to opt out of
ad targeting from member companies.
Controlling "Spam" or Unsolicited E-mail
Gremolata.com is concerned about controlling unsolicited commercial e-mail, or "spam."
Gremolata.com will not sell, lease or rent its e-mail subscriber lists to third
parties.

and customer feedback. When we post changes to this Statement, we will revise the
"last updated" date at the top of this statement. If there are material changes
