Top Network is committed to protecting your privacy and developing
technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This
Statement of Privacy applies to the Top Network Web
site and governs data collection and usage. By using the Top Network
website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.
Collection of your Personal Information
Top Network collects personally
identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work
address or telephone number. Top Network also collects anonymous
demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code,
age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.
There is also information about your computer hardware and
software that is automatically collected by Top Network. This information
can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and
referring Web site addresses. This information is used by Top Network for
the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to
provide general statistics regarding use of the Top Network Web site.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable
information or personally sensitive data through Top Network public
message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note:
Top Network does not read any of your private online communications.
Top Network encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites
you choose to link to from Top Network so that you can understand how
those Web sites collect, use and share your information. Top Network is
not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites
outside of the Top Network and Top Network family of Web sites.
Use of your Personal Information
Top Network collects and uses your personal
information to operate the Top Network Web site and deliver the services
you have requested. Top Network also uses your personally identifiable
information to inform you of other products or services available from
Top Network and its affiliates. Top Network may also contact you
via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of
potential new services that may be offered.
Top Network does not sell,
rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Top Network may, from
time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a
particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique
personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number)
is not transferred to the third party. In addition, Top Network may share
data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you
email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All
such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except
to provide these services to Top Network, and they are required to
maintain the confidentiality of your information.
Top Network does not
use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or
political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
Top Network keeps
track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within Top Network,
in order to determine what Top Network services are the most popular.
This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within
Top Network to customers whose behavior indicates that they are
interested in a particular subject area.
Top Network Web sites will
disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so
by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a)
conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on
Top Network or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of
Top Network; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the
personal safety of users of Top Network, or the public.
Use of Cookies
The Top Network Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your
online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by
a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to
your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a
web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary
purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The
purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a
specific page. For example, if you personalize Top Network pages, or
register with Top Network site or services, a cookie helps
Top Network to recall your specific information on subsequent visits.
This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as
billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same
Top Network Web site, the information you previously provided can be
retrieved, so you can easily use the Top Network features that you
customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web
browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you
may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the
Top Network services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
Top Network secures your personal information from
unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Top Network secures the
personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a
controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or
disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is
transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption,
such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
Top Network will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect
company and customer feedback. Top Network encourages you to periodically
review this Statement to be informed of how Top Network is protecting
your information.

Top Network welcomes your comments
