INFORMATION GuruTrack COLLECTS
What information does this website gather?
When you visit this website, the following types of information may be collected:
Personally Identifiable Information You Knowingly Provide
Information GuruTrack Collects Automatically
Non-Personally Identifiable Information You Knowingly Provide
Personally identifiable information that you knowingly
provide is collected through this website. For example, you may be asked
to provide personally identifiable contact information (such as name, address,
telephone number and e-mail address) through this website. In addition,
as you (and other users) browse this website, the web servers that are
used to host this website automatically collect certain information about
such visits (usually through the use of cookies, clear .gif files (also
known as “web beacons”), and the analysis of http headers), such
as the user’s IP address, the user’s domain name, the user’s
browser type, the user’s user agent, how many users visit this website,
which pages the user visits and for how long, the date and time the user
accesses this website (and the date and time the user submits information
through this website), the Internet address of the site from which the user
directly linked to this website, and the links on this website on which the
user clicks and the pages on which such links appear. In some cases, non-personally
identifiable information that you provide (such as your zip/postal code,
which markets interest you and how you heard about us) may be collected through
this website. To improve the services we can offer you, we may decide to
expand this website's capabilities for obtaining information about users
in the future. We will update this Privacy Policy as our practices change
to ensure that you are aware of developments in this area.
How does GuruTrack use information collected on this website?
When users supply personally identifiable information about themselves for
a specific purpose (for example, to receive notice of updates to our online
editorial features, to provide feedback, to request that a sales representative
contact them or to subscribe to the GuruTrack website), we may use the
information for that purpose. When users provide personally identifiable
information to order products or services through this website, we may
also use such personally identifiable information as we would use the same
information obtained in a traditional non-electronic manner. For example,
we may use such personally identifiable information to publish your name,
address, and phone number in our directories (unless you have requested
a non-published number), to assess your credit rating and/or to evaluate
your service needs and contact you regarding additional services you may
find useful. When users provide personally identifiable information in
connection with a contest, sweepstakes or other promotion that we may run
on this website, we may use such information to administer such contest,
sweepstakes or promotion and to notify winners.
We may also use personally identifiable information you provide to communicate
with you (e.g., to send you e-mails) and to otherwise serve you. For example,
we may use your name and e-mail address to send you e-mails to (a) respond
to a request you submitted, (b) provide information regarding our company,
marketing information about products and services, and newsletters, (c) conduct
online surveys, (d) confirm orders placed online and (e) otherwise communicate
with you. However, you may request not to receive (i.e., “opt-out” of
receiving) commercial e-mail messages (the primary purpose of which is the
commercial advertisement or promotion of a commercial product or service)
from us (on a category-by-category basis), by clicking on Update Your Email
Preferences (or otherwise visiting the e-mail campaign opt-out page), and
following the directions provided on the e-mail campaign opt-out page. If
you have previously opted out of receiving commercial e-mail messages related
to one or more categories, you may cancel your request to opt-out of (i.e.,
consent to receive commercial e-mail messages from us related to) such categories
(on a category-by-category basis) by clicking on Update Your Email Preferences
(or otherwise visiting the e-mail campaign opt-out page), and following the
directions provided on the e-mail campaign opt-out page. Please note that
we reserve the right to send certain types of e-mail messages that are not
subject to opt-out (see information about e-mails, below) to online users,
including those who have opted out of receiving commercial e-mail messages.
In addition, GuruTrack may use personally identifiable information you provide
and information automatically collected through this website (and may combine
personally identifiable information you provide with information automatically
collected through this website and non-personally identifiable information
you knowingly provide) as it deems appropriate to protect its property or
other rights. We use information automatically collected through this website
to improve this website, to monitor its performance, to make this website
easier for you and other users to use, and to manage features and programs
made available through this website. For example, GuruTrack may use information
automatically collected through this website in the ways described in the
section entitled “What
is a cookie and why are they used in connection with this website?”,
below.
Can I review and request changes to personally identifiable information
that I provide through registration forms on This Website?
You may request not to receive (i.e., “opt-out” of receiving)
commercial e-mail messages from us (on a category-by category basis), by
clicking on Update Your Email Preferences (or otherwise visiting the e-mail
campaign opt-out page), and following the directions provided on the e-mail
campaign opt-out page. In addition, if you have previously opted out of receiving
commercial e-mail messages related to one or more categories, you may cancel
your request to opt-out of (i.e., consent to receive commercial e-mail messages
from us related to) such categories (on a category-by-category basis) by
clicking on Update Your Email Preferences (or otherwise visiting the e-mail
campaign opt-out page), and following the directions provided on the e-mail
campaign opt-out page. Please note that we reserve the right to send certain

Yes. This website contains links to other sites. These other sites may (or
may not) be “co-branded” or “private-labeled” with
(or otherwise contain) the Solutions at Home trademark or other GuruTrack
trademarks or branding. These other sites may, among other things, allow
you to enter into a sweepstakes. You can tell if you have linked from one
site to another site by looking at the URL in the browser window (or, if
the link opens a new browser window, by looking at the URL found by “right-clicking” on
the page in the window and selecting “properties”). If the
second level domain of the URL for the page containing the link is different
than the second level domain of the URL for the page www.gurutrack.com to
a page located at the URLwww.saucyjoes.com,

by another company, in a location other than that occupied by the second

without limitation, any transactions conducted through such sites). We
