Information Collection and Use

Profit Quests is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Profit Quests collects information from our users at several different points on our website, mainly for stastistics, newsletter sign-up and for product inquiries.

Registration is not necessary and this site is free to use at any time. Profit Quests does ask that you consider signing up for our free e-newsletter indicating that you have visited our site and are interested in receiving information from time to time. Also, visitors may request information from fundraising product vendors. This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest. Profit Quests Fundraising News Weekly is powered by Get Response. Get Response generated names will not be resold or used for other purposes. Personal information or E-mail addresses will not be sold or shared.

Order

We encourage visitors to sign up for our newsletter, fundraising product inquiries, and fundraising software inquiries from fundraising product vendors. Here a user should provide contact information (like name, address, city, zip, phone, fax, email address, web address, connected non-profit organization and position in organization). At this time we do not take orders for any product directly. We do pass on specific information to the specific vendor or supplier of the requested product only if we do not handle that item. At no time does a product vendor company have access to Profit Quests database. Product inquiry information of visitors is held in the strictest confidence and used by Profit Quests only.

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password (if we used password protection) more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user will not be able to participate in any of our Sweepstakes, Contests or monthly Drawings that take place when they occur. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.

Log Files

We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Sharing

We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person. We collect information and credit card information with those that purchase products. These numbers are not stored online and no one has access to these transactions except the president and treasurer of ProfitQuests.com.

We are a site hosted by Homestead.com that provides other specific services. When the user signs up for these services, they will determine whether to share names, or other contact information that is necessary for their third parties to provide these services. This is outside the scope of Profit Quests control, so you must make independent decisions when dealing with others seen on our site.

Profit Quests always recommends sharing our site and its information. We never automatically sign up a person to our newsletter based on what someone else sends to us.

Security

This website takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line. We also take information for product inquiries; whereby, the product vendor or warehouse is the only place with whom this information is shared.

We also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password- protected screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re- enter their password to re-gain access to your information. Furthermore, all employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers' information is protected. If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to support@profitquests.com .

Security of Our Buyers

We take security and your privacy very seriously. Our shopping cart system also partners with the security departments of the major credit card companies and gateways, sharing information on practices observed among fraud attempts and helping all of its e-commerce partners keep security tight, while optimizing the shopping experience for honest, authorized shoppers. Our Payment Gateway is secure and uses PayPal and the latest secure transaction technology to assist in preventing online fraud.

Supplementation of Information
