Privacy Policy

Netscape.ca is brought to you by AOL Canada Inc. AOL is strongly committed to protecting the privacy of consumers of its interactive products and services. Throughout cyberspace, we want to contribute to providing a safe and secure environment for consumers, and in particular, ensure that kids' information is protected.

While this privacy policy applies to the entire Netscape.ca site, we will refer here only to Netscape.ca to make reading this policy easier. The Netscape Internet service has a separate privacy policy for its members. If you are a Netscape member, you can find that policy within the Netscape Internet Service Terms of Service

The purpose of this Netscape.ca privacy policy is to inform you, as a welcome visitor to Netscape.ca, what kinds of information we may gather about you when you visit Netscape.ca, how we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct, the information. Finally, please note that this policy applies only to Netscape.ca and not to other companies' or organizations' Web sites to which we link. We have clearly marked Netscape.ca with our logo so you know where this policy applies.

Information About All Netscape.ca Visitors

In general, our service automatically gathers certain "ratings" information when a visitor comes to Netscape.ca. We only use such data in the aggregate. This collective data helps us determine how much our customers use parts of the site, so we can improve our site to assure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many of you as possible. For example, Netscape.ca uses a technology nicknamed "cookies" that tells us how and when pages in our site are visited, and by how many people. Cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and we do not combine information collected through cookies with other personally identifiable information to tell us who you are. We also may provide statistical "ratings" information, but never information about you personally, to our Netscape.ca partners about how Netscape.ca visitors collectively, use Netscape.ca. We do this so they too can understand how much people use their areas and our site in order for them to provide you with the best possible Web experience as well. The Web sites you visit may have their own privacy policies or no policy at all. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of Web sites before providing them with any of your personal information.

Sometimes, we may specifically ask for information about you when you sign up to use a service, like Netscape Internet Service, or when you order a product. We will need certain information in order to provide that service or product to you and may also use that information to offer you additional products and services about which you might be interested. We may ask you for interest information so that both you and we can take advantage of the interactivity of the Internet medium, but you may always choose to respond or not.

Disclosure

We do not use or disclose information about your individual visits to Netscape.ca or information that you may give us, such as your name, address, email address or telephone number, to any outside companies. But as we mention above, we may share with our Web site partners aggregated statistical "ratings" information about the use of Netscape.ca.

Special Attention to Kids

We take special care to protect the safety and privacy of young people using our AOL services. We do not specifically collect information about children and believe that children should get their parents' consent before giving out any personal information. We encourage you to participate in your child's experience in cyberspace and to review online safety tips before your child explores the Internet. Netscape.ca also recommends that parents supervise their kids' access to the web.
