supports a general policy of openness about personal data collection
and use. We have adopted and implemented this privacy policy (the
"Privacy Policy") as part of our commitment to protecting
your personally identifiable information (as described below) from
misuse. This
Privacy Policy applies solely to our information-gathering and dissemination
practices for the following sites: cheatersxpose.com, cheaterxpose.com,
surveillanceczar.com, wildcardinvestigations.com, eyespytv.com, eyespyxpose.com,
eyespyinternational.com, cheatersinternational.com, any websites operated and made available to
the general public by WCI that re-direct to such sites and any websites
operated and made available to the general public by WCI after the
"Last Updated" date above that link to this Policy through
a site-wide "Privacy Policy" link or similar link (collectively,
the "Websites," which include any successor site(s) to any
of the foregoing). This Privacy Policy does not cover information
that we collect from and about customers of our other businesses,
or through means other than through the Websites (except as expressly
set forth above), or information collected by any affiliated entities
through any means. This
Privacy Policy is the sole authorized statement of WCI practices with
respect to the online collection of personally identifiable information
(as described below) through the Websites and the use and disclosure
of such information. Any summaries of this Privacy Policy generated
by third-party software or otherwise (for example, in connection with
the "Platform for Privacy Preferences" or "P3P")
will have no legal effect, are in no way binding upon WCI and will
not be relied upon in substitute for this Privacy Policy, and neither
supersede nor modify this Privacy Policy. By
using the Websites, you consent and agree to the terms and conditions
of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions
of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Websites. The
Websites are controlled and operated by WCI from the United States,
and are not intended to subject WCI or any affiliated entity to the
laws or jurisdiction of any state, country or territory other than
that of the United States. WCI does not represent or warrant that
the Websites, or any part thereof, are appropriate or available for
use in any particular jurisdiction. Those who choose to access the
Websites do so on their own initiative and at their own risk, and
are responsible for complying with all local laws, rules and regulations.
You are also subject to United States export controls in connection
with your use of the Websites and/or services related thereto, and
are responsible for any violations of such controls, including, without
limitation, any United States embargoes or other federal rules and
regulations restricting exports. We may limit the Websites' availability,
in whole or in part, to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction
we choose, at any time and in our sole discretion. What information does WCI gather
on its Websites? WCI
gathers two basic types of information through the Websites: (a) personally
identifiable information, which you provide to WCI, and which identifies
you as an individual, and (b) non-personally identifiable information,
which does not reveal your personal identity. Non-personally identifiable
information includes, without limitation, demographic information,
IP addresses, cookies, Pixel Tags (as defined below) and aggregated
information, which WCI gathers through your use of the Websites. We
discuss our policies with respect to collection, use and disclosure
of these different kinds of information below. Personally Identifiable Information WCI
uses the personally identifiable information it gathers through the
Websites for several purposes, such as to understand more about our
audience's interests, to communicate with you and to give you a better
experience when visiting the Websites by personalizing tools, content
and services. WCI also uses this information to build new services
and develop offers that WCI believes are more relevant and valuable
to you. You
do not have to provide personally identifiable information to use
most of our Websites or services. However, certain of our Websites
and Website-based services may require that you furnish personally
identifiable information. We collect such personally identifiable
information through our Websites and Website-related services only
when you voluntarily provide it to us, for example, in answering surveys
and polls; entering contests and sweepstakes; registering to receive
electronic newsletters, television listings and other materials; participating
in quizzes; registering to interact with, and interacting with, message
boards, blogs and clubs and other forums (collectively, the "Interactive
Community"); purchasing items from our stores; and taking part
in other promotional opportunities. You may be asked to provide your
personally identifiable contact information (such as your name, postal
address, telephone numbers and/or email address) and personally identifiable
financial information (such as credit card numbers). You may also
be asked to provide information that does not personally identify
you, such as demographic information (Zip code, age, gender or income
level) and information regarding television viewing habits. Personally
identifiable information is used for purposes such as, without limitation,
responding to your inquiries; notifying you if you have won a sweepstakes,
contest, or quiz and sending to you any prize; sending products and
services ordered from our Websites; and sending to you newsletters
in which you express interest. We
reserve the right to use your personally identifiable information
to send you periodic mailings with information on new products and
services, updates to our Websites, or upcoming events. We may also
share our user mailing list (including your personally identifiable
information) with reputable third parties for marketing or promotional
purposes. We may also forward information to you regarding third-party
products or services, without disclosing your personally identifiable
information to such third parties. You may opt-out of having your
personally identifiable information as part of our marketing mailing
list at any time (see "Opt In and Opt-Out," below). From
time to time, in our sole discretion, we may use your personally identifiable
information to send to you important administrative information regarding
Websites and Website-related services, or changes to our terms, conditions
and policies. Because this information may be important to your use
of the Websites or Website-related services, you may not opt-out of
receiving such communications. We
may also use your personally identifiable information for our internal
business purposes and for any non-marketing purposes, such as improving
the Websites and services, customizing services for users, data analysis,
audits and so forth. When
you make a purchase through the Websites, we may collect your credit
card number or other payment account number (for example, your wireless
account number), billing address and other information related to
such purchase (collectively, "Payment Information") from
you, and may use such Payment Information in order to fulfill your
purchase. If you choose to make a purchase through any of the Websites,
we may share your Payment Information or other personally identifiable
information with our third-party service providers to fulfill your
purchase, including, without limitation, to process your credit card
or payment account number. Whenever
we request your personally identifiable information on our Websites,
to the extent that we intend to use it in a manner not disclosed in
this Privacy Policy, we will try to explain to you how we intend to
use it, and to provide you with a choice to decline certain uses.
In addition, if we plan to post any of your personally identifiable
information on our Websites, we will notify you of this possibility
either when you provide the information to us or prior to posting
such information. Please note that by entering any sweepstakes, contest
or quiz, you consent to our announcing your name and home town as
part of any list of winners. We
may disclose your personally identifiable information if we believe
that we are required to do so (i) by law, (ii) to respond to legal
process or governmental requests, (iii) to enforce our Terms of Service,
(iv) to protect the rights, privacy, safety or property of WCI, our
affiliated entities, you or others; (v) to permit us to pursue available
remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain; and (vi) to respond
to an emergency. As an example, we may, to the fullest extent the
law allows, disclose personally identifiable information about you
to law enforcement agencies to assist them in identifying individuals
who have been or may be engaged in unlawful activities. Service Providers We
work with third parties who provide services including, but not limited
to, website hosting, order processing and fulfillment, credit card
clearance, message board and blog services, data analysis and supplementation,
data and database management, the provision and facilitation of email
and newsletter services, and other services of an administrative nature.
We may share your personally identifiable information, including financial
information, with such third parties for the purpose of providing
such services. Non-Personally Identifiable Information We
collect and analyze non-personally identifiable information through
our Websites relating to traffic levels on our Websites – often on
an aggregated basis – for example, the total number of users visiting
particular pages. We also collect and analyze non-personally identifiable
demographic information, survey results, information relating to Internet
Protocol (IP) addresses (which are described below) and information
relating to the search functionality on the Websites. We may share
demographic information, television viewing habits, results of surveys,
as well as usage data calculated from logging IP addresses, with advertisers
and third parties only on an aggregated basis. Non-personally identifiable
information is helpful to us for improving the services we offer and
for marketing purposes. We may, for any purposes whatsoever, use or
share such information with our advertisers, business partners, or
other third parties. We
use IP addresses to calculate Website usage levels, to help diagnose
problems with our servers, and to administer our Websites. Your Internet
Protocol address is an identifying number that is automatically assigned
to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This number
is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever
you visit our Websites, along with the time(s) of your visit(s) and
the page(s) that you visited. Collecting IP addresses is standard
practice on the Internet, and is done automatically by many websites.
Such IP address information is treated as non-personally identifiable
information under this Policy. Use of Cookies by WCI Cookies
are data that a web server transfers to an individual's computer for
record keeping purposes. Cookies, which are an industry standard used
by most websites, can facilitate a user's ongoing access to and use
of a site. Cookies do not cause damage to your computer systems or
files. We
use a temporary or "session" cookie to track the products
you have chosen to purchase while shopping on our Websites. The cookie
saves you the trouble of repeatedly entering the same information
during a single visit. We also use cookies in the Interactive Community
to eliminate the need to log in every time you use clubs and other
message boards on our Websites. Depending on the type of cookie used,
the cookie may expire at the end of a browser session, or may persist
across sessions (for example, a cookie that "remembers"
your login information between Website visits). In
addition, from time to time, we and our service providers may use
cookies and other technologies to gather non-personally identifiable
information to track the popularity of certain pages of our Websites;
the success of our email notifications (including, without limitation,
our HTML-formatted e-mail message campaigns), and our ad campaigns
on third-party sites, based on click-through rates; and other similar
information, all of which assists us in seeking to improve our Websites
and related services. If
you do not want information collected through the use of cookies,
there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to automatically
decline cookies, or to be given the choice of declining or accepting
the transfer of a cookie, or of cookies from a particular website,
to your computer. You should note, however, that declining the cookies
may make it difficult for you to make purchases on our Websites and
will make entering and using the Interactive Community more cumbersome. Use of Pixel Tags by WCI We
and our service providers may also use so-called "pixel tags,"
"web beacons," "clear GIFs" or similar means (collectively,
"Pixel Tags") in connection with the Websites' pages and
HTML-formatted e-mail messages to, among other things, compile aggregate
statistics about the Websites' usage and response rates. A Pixel Tag
is an electronic image, often a single pixel (1x1), that is ordinarily
not visible to visitors of the Websites and may be associated with
cookies on the visitors' hard drives. Pixel Tags allow us, and our
service providers, among other things, to count users who have visited
certain pages of the Websites, to deliver branded services and to
help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns.
When used in HTML-formatted e-mail messages, Pixel Tags can tell the
sender whether and when the e-mail has been opened. Collection of Environmental Variables
by WCI We
and our service providers may also collect certain environmental variables,
such as your MAC address, computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen
resolution, OS version, Internet browser, and Internet browser version.
These environmental variables, which constitute non-personally-identifiable
information, are collected by most browsers, and can be used to optimize
your experience on the Websites. Third-Party Ad Serving We
may use third-party advertisement-serving companies to serve advertisements
in connection with the Websites and Website-based services. Please
be advised that such companies may use cookies and Pixel Tags (as
described above) and other technologies to, among other things, enable
such companies to monitor which ads have been served to your browser
and which Website pages you were viewing when such ads were delivered.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS POLICY DOES NOT COVER THE COLLECTION AND USE
OF INFORMATION BY SUCH THIRD PARTIES. Sweepstakes, Contests and Promotions We
will be regularly operate sweepstakes, contests and similar promotions
throughout the Websites. We may ask you for certain personally-identifiable
information when you enter and, if applicable, win a sweepstakes,
contest or similar promotion. We may share such personally-identifiable
information with third-party sponsors of such sweepstakes, contests
and similar promotions (irrespective of whether such sweepstakes,
contest or similar promotion is hosted by us), or otherwise in accordance
with the rules applicable to such sweepstakes, contest or similar
promotion. In order to participate in such a sweepstakes, contest
or similar promotion, you will need to read and agree to be bound
by the official rules therefore, which may contain additional important
information about WCI or a sponsor's use of your personally-identifiable
information (including, without limitation, WCI or a sponsor's use
of such information to send HTML-formatted e-mail messages to you).
To the extent that such rules concerning the treatment of your personally
identifiable information conflict with this Privacy Policy, such rules
shall control. Public Forums PLEASE
KEEP IN MIND THAT ANY INFORMATION YOU DISCLOSE IN THE INTERACTIVE
COMMUNITY BECOMES PUBLIC INFORMATION, AND MAY BE AVAILABLE NOT ONLY
TO REGISTERED INTERACTIVE COMMUNITY USERS, BUT ALSO TO VISITORS OF
THE WEBSITES AND TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. We urge you to exercise discretion
and caution when deciding to disclose your personally identifiable
information, or any other information, in any part of the Interactive
Community. To
register to use the Interactive Community, you will need to select
a screen name and provide your email address. A password is required
to log into the Interactive Community. Depending on the Website, you
will either select your own password at the time of registration or
will be sent an email notification from us with a randomly generated
initial password. When
you log in to the Interactive Community, you will be able to set up
your WCI profile (your "Profile"), which you may edit at
any time through the Interactive Community. You will also have the
ability to change your password from within your Profile. Providing
information as part of your Profile is entirely optional. Portions
of your Profile are accessible to the public, but the password, name
and email address fields of your Profile are not accessible to the
public. Note, however, that whenever you contribute to the Interactive
Community, your screen name, linking to your Profile, will automatically
appear with your post, and other information you provide as part of
your Profile will be accessible to other Interactive Community members,
Website visitors and the general public, by clicking on your screen
name associated with any of your postings. Children Our
Websites are general audience sites. We do not direct any of our content
specifically at children under thirteen (13) years of age. Security We
have security measures and tools in place to help protect against
the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.
Any time we ask for a credit card number to be transmitted to us through
a mechanism provided on one of our Websites for such purpose, that
credit card number is transmitted to us in an encrypted format using
industry-standard encryption. Unfortunately, no data transmission
over the Internet, and no storage of such transmitted data, can be
guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect
your personally identifiable information, we cannot ensure or warrant
the security of any information you transmit to us through or in connection
with any Website, or that we or our service providers store. Accordingly,
you acknowledge and agree that any information you transmit through
or in connection with any Website is so transmitted at your own risk. If
you have reason to believe that any account with us is no longer secure,
you must immediately notify WCI of the problem by contacting us in
accordance with "Contacting Us," below (note that physical
mail notification will delay the time it takes for us to respond to
the problem). Third-Party Sites Our
Websites and Website-based services may contain links to third-party
websites. These linked third-party sites are not under the control
of WCI, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the
contents of any linked site, or any link contained in a linked site.
We are providing these links only as a convenience, and the inclusion
of a link on our Websites does not imply endorsement of the linked
site by WCI. When
you provide personal financial and other personally identifiable information
to one of WCI e-commerce partners,
your transaction with such e-commerce partner will occur on the e-commerce
partner's site, not one of the Websites, and as such the financial
and personally identifiable information you provide is collected by
and controlled by the privacy policy of that e-commerce partner. It
is important therefore that you familiarize yourself with the privacy
policy of any third-party e-commerce site with which you transact
business. Assignment We
reserve the right to transfer any and all information that we collect
from users of the Websites and Website-based services to a third party
in the event of a sale, merger, assignment, joint venture or other
transfer or disposition of a portion or all of the assets (including,
without limitation, any Website) of WCI or any of its affiliated entities
(including, without limitation, in connection with any dissolution,
bankruptcy, or similar proceedings). Opt-In and Opt-Out Upon
registration with certain Website-based services, or otherwise from
time to time, we may ask you whether you want to "opt-in"
to receive information from us about special offers, or newsletters
and other promotional communications regarding WCI, the Websites and/or
third parties' products or services. If, by opting-in, you choose
to receive these communications, we will occasionally send you email
messages that seek to reflect your request(s). You may later choose
to stop receiving these promotional communications from us by following
an "UNSUBSCRIBE" or similar link provided in the applicable
promotional communication (excluding e-commerce confirmation emails,
which you may not opt-out of receiving). We
may also ask you whether you want to opt-in to receive promotional
offers directly from select third parties other than WCI. If, by opting-in,
you choose to receive these offers, such third parties may occasionally
send you email messages that seek to reflect your request(s). If
you do not wish to receive marketing-related e-mails from us, or if
you would prefer that we do not share your personally identifiable
information with third parties for such third parties' marketing purposes,
you may opt-out of receiving such marketing-related e-mails or from
such sharing by contacting us as provided below. Please specify clearly
which of the following choices you are opting out of: (a) receiving
marketing-related e-mails from WCI; and/or (b) allowing WCI to share
your personally identifiable information with third parties for their

Please note that if you opt-out as described above, we will not be
able to remove your personally identifiable information from the databases
of affiliates or third parties with which we have already shared your
personally identifiable information (i.e., to which we have already
provided your personally identifiable information as of the date that
we implement your opt-out request). If you wish to cease receiving
marketing-related e-mails from such affiliates or third parties, please
contact such affiliates or third parties directly or utilize any opt-out
mechanisms set forth in their respective privacy policies or marketing-related
e-mails. You
may wish to remove your personally identifiable information from our
database in order to stop receiving future marketing communications
from us and/or from third parties to whom we have not already provided
your personally identifiable information. If so, we provide you with
the following options for removing your personally identifiable information
from our database for marketing purposes: You can send an email to jpmerlano@wildcardinvestigations.com or In
each event, you must clearly indicate that you wish to have your personally
identifiable information removed from our database. We will endeavor
to comply with your request as soon as reasonably possible. We
note that you may continue to receive non-marketing messages from
us (for example, messages regarding Website technical and security
issues). You cannot opt-out of receiving these messages. Please
note that we may need to retain certain information for record keeping
purposes, and there may also be residual information that will remain
within our databases and other records. We also reserve the right,
from time to time, to re-contact former users of our Websites. Finally,
please note that notwithstanding any other provision of this Privacy
Policy, we are not responsible for removing information from lists
of third-party entities with which we have shared your information
pursuant to this Privacy Policy or otherwise with your consent. Correct/Update We give you the following options
for informing us of changes to the personally identifiable information
you have previously provided to us: You can send an email to jpmerlano@wildcardinvestigations.com or In

of the information in your Profile at any time. To review or modify
your Profile, log in to the Interactive Community using the means
we provide on the Websites. Please
note that even if you elect to change your information in our database,
there may be residual, outdated information that will remain within
our databases and other records, which will not be removed therefrom.
Also note that we are not responsible for informing third parties
of any changes requested pursuant to this Section. Contacting Us If you have any questions about this
Privacy Policy, the practices of our Websites, or your dealings with
us, please feel free to contact us at: You can send an email to jpmerlano@wildcardinvestigations.com or Any of the policies or procedures

Policy has been revised last by referring to the "Last Updated"
date at the top of this page. Any changes to our Privacy Policy will
become effective upon our posting of the updated policy. Use of any

then in effect. We encourage you to bookmark this page and to periodically
review it to ensure familiarity with the most current version of our
Privacy Policy. |
