such information, but we do ask them to disclose how

and Authorized Customers in response to specific

about the preferences of our Visitors and the services

in order to gain access to the information. We audit our
security systems and processes on a regular basis.
Sensitive information, such as credit card numbers or
social security numbers, is protected by encryption
protocols, in place to protect information sent over the
Internet. While we take commercially reasonable measures
to maintain a secure site, electronic communications and
databases are subject to errors, tampering and
break-ins, and we cannot guarantee or warrant that such
events will not take place and we will not be liable to
Visitors or Authorized Customers for any such
occurrences.

Identifiable Information collected by the Site?
We provide Visitors and
Authorized Customers with a mechanism to
delete/deactivate Personally Identifiable Information
from the Site's database by contacting
support@ContentVilla.com. However, because of backups
and records of deletions, it may be impossible to delete
a Visitor's entry without retaining some residual
information. An individual who requests to have
Personally Identifiable Information deactivated will
have this information functionally deleted, and we will
not sell, transfer, or use Personally Identifiable
Information relating to that individual in any way
moving forward.
What happens if the Privacy Policy Changes?
We will let our
Visitors and Authorized Customers know about changes to
our privacy policy by posting such changes on the Site.
However, if we are changing our privacy policy in a
manner that might cause disclosure of Personally
Identifiable Information that a Visitor or Authorized
Customer has previously requested not be disclosed, we
will contact such Visitor or Authorized Customer to
allow such Visitor or Authorized Customer to prevent
such disclosure.
