This Privacy Statement is part of, and
incorporated into, the TCU.
By providing any personal information to
this Site, you fully understand and
unambiguously consent to the collection
and processing of such information in
Canada and/or any other country.
1. TimaSearch.com collects and stores
personal information in several ways at
different parts of our Site. This
information may include your legal name,
email address, age, gender, address,
telephone number(s), areas of interest,
financial information, User ID, User
Password and other self-identifying
information. We collect this information
in order to provide you with our
services more easily, and in a more
personalized manner. We may make message
boards and discussion forums available
to you. If you choose to voluntarily
disclose certain information on any such
public area of the Site, this Privacy
Statement will not cover such disclosure
of information. We urge exercising
caution when disclosing information on
public message boards or discussion

2. TimaSearch.com also may request
certain information using online order
forms for products and services. On the
order forms, we may collect contact
information, financial information,
demographic information, method of
payment and, if applicable, a credit or
debit card number. We may also collect
information about you in surveys or for
sweepstakes and contests on the Site and
information about the searches you
perform and the pages you visit on the
Site. TimaSearch.com may also monitor,
on an anonymous aggregate basis,
patterns of use in connection with
emails that it sends out, including
which links are clicked on in our email
communications, so that we may use such
information to better personalize the
content of the Site and our mailings for
our users. All such information will be
protected in accordance with our Privacy
Statement. We may also automatically
collect your Internet Protocol address
to help diagnose problems and for system
administration. TimaSearch.com reserves
the right to request any additional
information necessary to establish and
maintain your account for use of the
Site.
3. TimaSearch.com uses the information
collected from you in accordance with
this Privacy Statement. Information we
collect is used to customize your
experience at our Site. We also show you
content that we think will be
interesting to you, and display content
according to the preferences you
indicate while on our Site.
TimaSearch.com may use your information
to send you promotional materials about
TimaSearch.com and its partners. We may
also use your information to contact
you, if necessary.
4. TimaSearch.com will not sell, rent or
barter your personal information other
than to its business partners as set
forth herein. However, we may from time
to time aggregate statistical
information regarding our customers,
traffic patterns and site usage, or sell
our research, which may contain
aggregate information. In addition, we
may report aggregate information to our
advertisers. Such aggregate information
will not individually identify any user.
5. In order to provide you with
co-branded services, and to improve our
features, we will sometimes share your
information with our partners. We reserve the right to disclose any
information if such action is necessary
(a) to conform to the requirements of
the law or to comply with legal process
or subpoena served on TimaSearch.com,
(b) to protect and defend the legal
rights or property of TimaSearch.com,
the Site, or its users, or (c) in an
emergency, to protect the health and
safety of its users or the general
public. We further reserve the right to
release any information concerning any
user if that user participates (or is
reasonably suspected of participating)
in any illegal activity, even without a
subpoena, warrant, or other court order.
We cooperate with law enforcement
agencies in identifying those who may be
using our servers or services for
illegal activities. We also reserve the
right to report any suspected illegal
activity to law enforcement for
investigation or prosecution.
6. It is possible that TimaSearch.com,
its subsidiaries, its joint ventures, or
any combination of such, could merge
with or be acquired by another business
entity. Should such a combination occur,
you should expect that TimaSearch.com
would share some or all of your
information in order to continue to
provide the service. Notice of any such
event (to the extent it occurs) will be
posted on the TimaSearch.com website,
and we will require that the new
combined entity follow the practices
disclosed in this Privacy Statement.
7. You may occasionally receive

8. As part of offering and providing

cookies. No other company has access to
cookies placed on your computer by
TimaSearch.com unless you select the
option, upon registering with the Site,
to share user-information with
TimaSearch.com's partners. We may use
cookies technology to reduce the time
required for you to submit your requests
and for TimaSearch.com to respond to
such requests. Cookies will not be used
by us to retrieve any information about
you, or from your computer, that you
have not voluntarily given to us.
Cookies may also be placed on your
computer when you link from the Site to
our partners' web sites or when you
click banner ads provided on our Site.

not to accept cookies, but the features
of our Site may not function properly if
you do not accept cookies.
9. For all our transactions, we employ
reasonable and current Internet security
methods and technologies. Where
appropriate, we password protect, use
encryption techniques and install
firewalls. We strive to protect you. We
encourage our participating service
providers to adopt and honor their own
consumer privacy policies. For all our
efforts to safeguard your privacy, no
system can be guaranteed. We cannot
ensure or warrant the security of any
information that you transmit to us, or
that we transmit to you, or guarantee
that it will be free from unauthorized
access by third parties. Once we receive
your information, we use reasonable
efforts to ensure its security on our
systems.
