1. What data we collect and Why
Our vision at Gabbadoo is to maximize the rewards for all of our members and
to provide them with as many benefits as possible. The first key way in which
we provide value is to forward the commissions we receive from our merchants
to you. Instead of keeping these funds for ourselves, we make our money primarily
from marketing partnerships with our merchants, and advertising.
When first registering with Gabbadoo, you will be asked to provide your name,
address, income and age. This information helps us understand your interests
and develop an understanding of what might appeal to you. Based on these demographics,
we are able to determine what types of merchants and specials would benefit our
members most.
When a member shops or visits one of our merchants, Gabbadoo may track this information
to have a summary of our member's buying interests. This information will be
used by Gabbadoo to make relevant and personalized offers to our members. As
with any other information that you supply to Gabbadoo, none of the information
that we collect will be released in any personally identifiable way, only in
aggregate or anonymous form.
2. How your information is used
We collect information to provide better, more relevant offers to you, whether
it is targeted advertising, new merchants that we think our members may like,
or choosing new partnerships.
3. Who sees your personal information
Only a very limited number of Gabbadoo employees ever have access to your personal
information. Primarily this information is accessed to provide customer service
or to send you your Big Fat Check.
We may use contractors or vendors to help us provide some of the services at
our site. If we need to disclose personal information for them to provide the
services, it is with the requirement that the information is kept confidential
and is used only for those services.
4. How we keep your information secure
Gabbadoo uses a secure, encrypted connection (called an SSL connection. on all
pages where you transmit personal data to us. The security of your personal information
is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card
number and/or social security number. on our registration or order forms, we
encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Whenever
you access any of your account pages or change any of your user information,
it is done over an SSL connection to Gabbadoo. In spite of the fact that all
important data is sent over an SSL connection, you may notice that on merchant
pages, the "padlock" icon in the corner of your browser sometimes does
not appear. This is a display issue only, and is caused by the fact that the
merchant session is running inside a frame. Rest assured that any time you enter
your credit card information at a merchant site, it IS an SSL connection secure
connection.
Gabbadoo fully GUARANTEES the use of your credit cards when shopping through
Gabbadoo at any of our affiliated merchants. If, as a direct result of your shopping
through Gabbadoo, someone uses your credit card information to make fraudulent
purchases, Gabbadoo will reimburse you for any costs the credit card company
charges you. Please refer to the user agreement for complete information. Additionally,
all of our database servers that contain customer information reside only on
Gabbadoo' physically secured premises or in our equally secured locations at
our service provider. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect
the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we
receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic
storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially
acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its
absolute security. If you have any questions about security on our Web site,
you can send email us at http://www.Gabbadoo.com
5. Your privacy with Gabbadoo
Gabbadoo will never ask for your username, password or any other personal information
in an unsolicited phone call, email or letter. Further, any contact with Gabbadoo
customer service in which personal information is exchanged with a customer service
representative will be used only for the purpose of satisfying that request.
Any personal information you provide will not be recorded or used for any reason
beyond that of the stated request without your consent.
