During this registration, CellScopes.com may ask for your name, email address, birth date, gender, zip code, cell phone number, occupation, industry and personal interests, drivers lic., SSN and or credit card number. The more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better we are able to fulfill the order for the product or service you are looking to obtain.

How does CellScopes.com use my information?
How does CellScopes.com use my information?
CellScopes.com's primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide
you, the user, with a customized experience on our network of sites and through
our partners. This includes personalization services, interactive
communications, online shopping and many other types of services, most of which
are completely free to you. In order to provide services free of charge, we
display advertisements and encourage your participation in opt-in mailings. By
knowing a little about you, CellScopes.com is able to deliver more relevant
advertisements and content, and hence better service, to you. In our role of
delivering targeted advertisements, CellScopes.com plays the middleman.
Advertisers give us an advertisement and tell us the type of audience they want
to reach (for example, males over 35 years old). CellScopes.com takes the
advertisement and displays it to users meeting that criteria. In this process,
the advertiser never has access to individual account information. Only
CellScopes.com has access to individuals' accounts. This kind of advertisement
targeting is done with banner ads as well as promotional email and messaging to
your handheld. through CellScopes.com. You will only receive special offers via
email from CellScopes.com if you have indicated in your account
preferences, or at some other time, that you would like to receive them. You can
change your account preferences or notify the sender of e-mail or messages to
your handheld to unsubscribe you at any time.
CellScopes.com does research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior
based on the information provided to us upon registration, during a promotion,
from our server log files or from surveys. We do this to better understand and
serve our users. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis.
CellScopes.com may share this aggregated data with advertisers or business
partners.

If data is being collected and/or maintained by any company other than CellScopes.com, you will be notified prior to the time of the data collection or transfer.
