Information we collect
1. Automatic collection of information and personal data
bizzerd gathers information
from your computer or handheld or mobile device when you visit our
site, whether you register for an account
with us or not. We encourage you to register with us to
take advantage of bizzerd's many personalization
features. However, you may choose not to register
and take advantage of features of our site where registration
is not required. You may still use the
site, but some of the features and functionality may be limited or not
available. If you do not register,
then the information we collect from you is limited to the information
described below.
Anytime you visit our site, we collect your IP address to help diagnose problems with our
server,
administer our site and track site usage statistics. Your IP address may vary each time you visit, or it
may
be the same, depending on the type of Internet connection (e.g., cable modem or DSL). Either
way, it would be
extremely difficult for us to identify you through your IP address by itself, and we
make no attempt to do so.
We also collect information on whether you reached our site by clicking
on a link or advertisement on another
site, which helps us to maximize our Internet exposure, and to
understand the interests of our users. We also collect information on your ISP or mobile carrier and
the type of
handheld or mobile device you used. All of this information is collected and used only in
the aggregate; that
is, it is entered into our database, where we can use it to generate overall reports
on our visitors, but not
reports about individual visitors.
2. Information collected upon registration and requests to be contacted
If you register with us, we will collect
registration information. We may store all or some of that
information in a cookie file on your hard drive, so
that our system will recognize you each time you
visit our site. In that way, we can save your preferences from
visit to visit and present you with a
customized site, without requiring you to log into our site every time you
visit.
Once you register, we may also use registration information to periodically contact you with news or
important
information about your account; to provide you with information on special offers,
products or services that we
think may be of interest to you; to communicate about, and administer
your participation in, special events,
programs, surveys, and other offers or promotions; or to
request your feedback on our site. When you subscribe
to receive specific information or services on
our site, we may use the subscription information to provide you
with information on special offers,
products or services that we think may be of interest to you; or to
communicate about, and
administer your participation in, special events, programs, surveys, contests,
sweepstakes and other
offers or promotions.
You may opt-out of any or all future marketing communications or
notifications from bizzerd by
clicking on the unsubscribe link we place at the footer of every email we send.

general terms and conditions. The customer is
the data controller of such personal data sets and be responsible
