agree to the terms and conditions outlined below. If you do

use any of the BusinessSMS properties. We reserve the right to
change, modify and or remove portions of these terms at any

What kind of information does BusinessSMS request and why
is it necessary?
All identifying information BusinessSMS requests from the user
is strictly kept confidential within the BusinessSMS network.
Personally identifying information BusinessSMS asks for includes:
your name, address, zip code, mobile number and e-mail address.
When you register as a member of BusinessSMS, we ask for your
honest responses to this information so that we can serve
you more efficiently and effectively. BusinessSMS will not sell,
rent nor disclose any of this personal information without
your prior notification or consent.
Further information we may ask for is strictly optional and
thereby available publicly to other BusinessSMS subscribers.
Such optional information may include but is not limited to
your hobbies and personal interests. This information is entered
into your personal profile page and may be accessed by other
BusinessSMS members.
Both your personal and optional information will help customize
and enrich your BusinessSMS experience by allowing us to send
Group and Channel information to you based upon your entries.
Our intention in requesting your personal information is so
that we may provide you with opportunities by specifically
directing Groups, Channels, and advertisements that reflect
your interests. While you are receiving information directly
to your account, advertisers never see or have access to your
individual account information. If we are required by law,
or feel a user will benefit, we may send you e-mail notices
about products, companies and events.
Always keep in mind, however, that any information you disclose
on the Internet through e-mail, message boards or chat rooms,
runs the risk of being collected by a third party, resulting
in unsolicited e-mail messages or advertisements.
What Exactly are Cookies? (No chocolate chips here)
So that BusinessSMS can provide you with thorough and personalized
service, we use cookies to keep and occasionally track information
about you. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent
to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's
hard drive. The use of cookies is an industry standard, you'll
find them at most every major website. BusinessSMS sometimes
uses cookies to track info for our users' convenience and
to understand our customers better. The cookies that are gathered
by BusinessSMS are only used within the BusinessSMS network; at
no time will we share that information with another service.
Please note that you could be directed to another site while
using BusinessSMS. Links to other sites from ours are outside
our network. These services may send their own cookies to
users and otherwise collect data or solicit personal information.
A Word on Content
Through your BusinessSMS account, we provide you with unfiltered
access to other people's content. We cannot guarantee the
quality, nor do we wish to control the content with which
you will have contact. Naturally, not all content will agree
with and appeal to each individual user. Another user's content
may be offensive, harmful or inaccurate; please use discretion
in understanding that user information. Content from an individual
member's page or site does not reflect the opinion and intentions
of BusinessSMS. BusinessSMS maintains the right to suspend membership
or terminate an account that is considered to be the cause
of harm or interference with our rights or property, BusinessSMS
members and users, or any individual that may suffer from
such inappropriate activities. Furthermore, we may disclose
user information when required to do so by law.
How does an IP work?
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to
your computer when you surf the Web. Web servers are able
to identify your computer by its IP address. BusinessSMS does
not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable
as an individual. This means that the users session will be
kept on record, but the users personally identifying information
(PII) remains anonymous. Personally Identifying Information,
such as your name, address, phone number, date of birth, medical
records and financial reports are not gathered through an
IP address.
"Spam"
Distributing or taking any action with unsolicited commercial
messages (spam) through another web site or account is a strict
offense. BusinessSMS may use anti spam techniques, without prior
consent, to stop your messages and prevent them from delivery.
Does BusinessSMS protect my privacy?
Your BusinessSMS account is password-protected, meaning only
you have access to your account-related information. If you
refrain from sharing your password with others, you can help
us to continue this security and confidentiality. Remember
to log out of your BusinessSMS account when you are finished.
By doing so, you protect your information from being re-opened
by another person if you are using a shared or public computer.
Please note that neither BusinessSMS nor any other Internet service
can promise complete privacy. The Internet is not yet 100%
secure, therefore it is recommended that you take care with
the information you choose to provide on any online service.
