Information Collected by findsmith
Non-Personally Identifiable Consumer Information
findsmith collects various types of information from you to better meet your needs and
to provide you with a more relevant user experience. Some of this information is collected
automatically through cookies (a small text file placed on your computer) or other Internet
tracking technologies. The type of information your browser or Internet session may
automatically provide us with can include the browser you are using, your Internet domain,
the operating system on your computer, your IP address and the URL you saw just before coming
to the findsmith site, the pages of the site you visited and the URL of the page you visited
upon leaving the site.
findsmith may also contract with reputable third-party advertising companies to serve ads on
our behalf. These companies may also use cookies or other measures to collect your non-personally
identifiable information.
Personally Identifiable Consumer Information
In addition, at some of the findsmith web sites, we collect information that you may choose
to provide to us when requesting additional information from us or from one or more of our
clients. Examples of personally identifiable data that you may provide to us include name,
address, and email address. If you provide personally identifiable data to us, you may later
elect to have your information deleted from our files, or kept from being used for purposes
other than for the service requested, by following the opt-out procedures set forth below.
How Collected Information is Used
The non-personally identifiable information that findsmith collects is used for marketing
and sales efforts to better target advertisements and other content in an effort to create a
more personally relevant experience. The information is also used to predict responses to
advertisements, and to help determine which ads perform best and which content is most
appropriate for different individuals.
If you elect to provide findsmith with personally identifiable information, we may utilize
such information for marketing purposes, and this use may result in follow-up communications
from findsmith and from our clients. In addition, that information may be combined with
information collected from other sources to assist with targeting ads to your preferences and
behaviors, and for other findsmith sales and marketing efforts.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
All personally identifiable information you provide is maintained in confidence by findsmith.
There are instances, however, in which your personally identifiable and non-personally
identifiable information is shared with third parties, as described below.
Your non-personally identifiable data may be shared with third-party partners of findsmith on
an anonymous basis. When you request information from findsmith or one or more of our clients,
we may transfer that information within findsmith or route your information to our client(s),
across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around
the world, so that they may provide the information on their product or service that you requested.
We may also disclose information to a third party who provides substantially similar services as
the original service about which you requested more information. In such situations, we will
provide you with an opportunity to opt-out of such sharing. Please be aware that findsmith is
very careful in selecting companies with whom it does business.
In addition to the above situations where your information may be shared with others, there is
also the possibility that findsmith, or part(s) of the company, may one day be purchased by, or
merged with, another company. In the event of such transaction, the acquiring (or merging) company
will have access to all collected personally identifiable information. Finally, findsmith may
share your information as necessary to comply with a court order or to cooperate with government
and law enforcement officials.

Wherever your personally identifiable information may be held within findsmith or on its
behalf, we intend to take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the information you shared
with us from unauthorized access or disclosure. Please note that while findsmith will make every
reasonable effort to protect your information, no transmission of data over the Internet is 100%
secure.
