During this registration you are required to provide a user name, a password and a valid email address which are all necessary for identifying your toolbar and for validating your registration. We may use this information to contact you regarding the services on our site in which you have expressed interest. You have the option to provide us with additional information (such as company name, title etc.). We encourage you to submit additional information so we can provide you a more personalized experience on our site and offer you better support.

From time-to-time we may provide you the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys or special promotional programs on our site. If you choose to participate, we will request certain PII from you. Participation in such contests or surveys or special promotional programs is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code). We use this information to notify participants, to monitor site traffic, personalize the site or send participants email updates upon their approval.

Choice/Opt-out
You have the option to choose to receive occasional email updates from Conduit. Such updates can include a newsletter or other notifications in relation with the Conduit platform. We provide you the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having your Personally Identifiable Information used for such purposes, when we ask for this information. For example, if you do not wish to receive any additional marketing materials from us, you can indicate your preference on our registration form. If you no longer wish to receive our email updates, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each update or by emailing us at: .

Users of toolbars created using the Conduit environment may voluntarily choose to activate a “Tell-A-Friend” feature from within their toolbar. Upon such a use, the toolbar user will be referred to a designated page hosted on the Website allowing the user to send an email notification to his friend or to any other entity of his choice. If you choose to use our service to tell a friend about our site or toolbar, we will ask you for your friend’s name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. Conduit uses this information for the sole purpose of sending and tracking the delivery of this one-time email. Conduit erases all third party email address provided using the “Tell-A-Friend” feature from its servers at least once a month. Your friend may contact us at to request that we remove this information from our database.

Sharing Personally Identifiable Information with Third Parties
Conduit may use a third party service provider only for the purpose of distributing emails to its registered users and/or toolbar publishers. Conduit shall provide this service provider with relevant email addresses of its registered users and/or toolbar publishers and with the content of letters to be sent by the service provider. The service provider is prohibited from using these email addresses or the content of the letters for any other purpose. Conduit does not share any collected PII with any third party other than in the way mentioned in this clause.

Conduit may use a third party service provider to mange and operate a discussion board within the Website domain.

We are not responsible for the Personally Identifiable Information you choose to submit in these forums.

Conduit may engage in business relations with third party companies and offer unique services to clients of such companies within a private label environment. For such purposes, some pages of the Website may be branded with both the Conduit brand and the third party brand. The third party cannot use the private label environment to collect any PII and is prohibited from doing so. The Conduit Website privacy statement shall apply to all of the pages in the private label environment.

If you entered the Website by clicking an affiliated link or promotion on another Website, or if you used a site that provides universal registration services to sign up for Conduit services, we will store the ID of that affiliate site in our database along with your computer's User ID. We do this to ensure that the affiliate site receives proper credit for any subsequent toolbar you may build using our platform.

Conduit reserves the right to disclose your Personally Identifiable Information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Website.
