you can focus on finding great deals in a safe, worry-free environment.

IP Address Logging
LynxGroups logs IP addresses (your unique Internet address)
for system administration purposes. IP addresses are logged to give
us an idea of which parts of our site users are visiting so that
we can update and improve the services we offer to you. We do not
link IP addresses to any information that could personally identify
you. This means that the path of your merchantpromotions session
will be tracked, but you will remain anonymous.
Cookies
LynxGroups uses "cookies" to automatically recognize returning
users. A cookie is a small file on your hard drive that allows us
to display your previously defined search criteria and notification
preferences whenever you visit our site. You can block cookies by
changing the settings on your browser (contact your ISP for help),
but doing so may prevent us from delivering certain services to
you (e.g., saved searches).
User Information
The use of certain merchantpromotions features requires that you
supply personal information like your name and e-mail address. At
your direction, we may use this information to send you our e-mail
newsletter. This information may also be used to contact you when
necessary. You may opt-out of receiving future mailings at any time
(see the Choice/Opt-Out section below).
Sharing Information
Unless you give explicit permission (e.g., you opt to receive e-mail
from partners and third parties), merchantpromotions has a strict
policy against sharing or selling your personal information (such
as your e-mail address or mailing address), except when we believe
in good faith that the law requires it, or to protect the rights,
safety or property of merchantpromotions, our users, or others.
In certain specific areas of some co-branded sites, we advise
you that data you provide to us (for example, when subscribing to
our e-mail newsletter) may be required to be shared with our co-brand
partner. We will always alert you to this before you give
us information, so that you can make an informed decision about
whether or not to proceed.
Links to Other Sites
This site contains links to other Web sites. LynxGroups
is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these
sites. If you have concerns about how other Web sites collect and
use information about you, make sure to read that sites own privacy
policy.
Special Relationships
LynxGroups enters into special relationships to offer a
broader array of services to our users. On occasions when we partner
with another service to bring you more comparison-shopping functionality,
such as with our automobile category, we do not host these pages
on our own servers. In these instances, information may be collected
but it is being collected by the partner and not by merchantpromotions.
merchantpromotions may receive information from these partners,
only when it is clearly stated. Unless you give explicit permission,
merchantpromotions has a strict policy against sharing or selling
your personal information and only aggregated (and not individual)
data is used by merchantpromotions.
Choice/Opt-Out of LynxGroups E-mail Communications
At any time, you have the ability to opt-out of receiving communications
from merchantpromotions and our partners. To unsubscribe from the
merchantpromotions e-mail newsletter, contact info@lynxgroups.com
and let us know that you would like to discontinue this service.
Notification of Changes
Should DealTime decide to change our policy concerning the use of
your personal information, we will post all changes in this privacy
policy 30 days prior to the date the change goes into effect. If
you would like to receive e-mail notification of any such changes,
please contact us at info@lynxgroups.com
requesting the same.
