of information about our web site users to how many anonymous
users viewed materials containing information and advertisements
within each business category or web pages. Our advertisements
are fixed in graphic format within the materials and are non-intrusive.

Cookies
The Paradise Media Group
LLC does not use cookies (or similar technologies) that provide
data about our users other than the cookies used by standard
web usage statistic generating programs. A cookie is
data that a Web site can send to your browser, which is stored
on your computer’s hard disk drive. We understand that many
users do not want anything installed in their computers because
of justified concern about privacy abuse issues. Although
cookie technology can enable a web site to perform many positive
things, there have been published cases of privacy abuse using
this technology. This is why we have established our privacy
policy to provide our users with anonymity.
Users may set their browsers
to notify them or decline the receipt of a cookie; however,
certain features of other web sites may not function properly
or be available when browsers are configured to disable cookies.
Users must exercise caution when deciding to permit the use
of “Cookies” since they are in effect, trusting that the permitted
Web site will not abuse their privacy rights. There are several
Internet firewall programs that have “Cookie” management software
that permits users to refuse or remove “Cookies”.
How
to Set Your Browser “Cookie” Preferences to protect your privacy:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x:
In the “TOOLS” menu, choose “INTERNET OPTIONS”. Then choose
“PRIVACY”. If you slide the lever to the highest privacy
level, it will say: “Block all cookies” Cookies from all websites
will be blocked. Existing cookies on your computer cannot
be read by Web sites.” By using the “EDIT” button, you
may override cookie handling for individual web sites. Other
Browsers: Contact the manufacturer of the browser for information.
We
collect and use only publicly available information for publishing
Internet business directories.
Users of the The Paradise Media
Group LLC business directory remain anonymous. Our Web server
usage programs may collect information about visitors such
as the domain names where they originated from, (for example

a user. This information may be processed to measure such
things as the number of pages viewed, and which pages are
used the most. The Paradise Media Group LLC uses such information
to evaluate the use of our web site, and to continuously improve
the content and services being provided. The general usage
information collected cannot identify individual users and
is useful only for measuring advertising exposure and web
server performance.

many anonymous users visit our web site

business information to enable the publication of free access
Internet business directories. Information provided by individuals
submitting new business listings, additional information or

is necessary in order to avoid unauthorized persons entering

unique passcodes or passwords are required to access a number

the use of a unique passcode or password, all payments processed
through our Web site require personal transactional information
provided by you to be sent in a "Secure Session"

encrypts - or scrambles - your financial or credit card account
information to help prevent unauthorized parties from reading
it. We regularly test and update our technology to help protect
your personal information. When doing business with others,
such as advertisers to whom you can link from our site, you
should consider the separate security and privacy policies
of those other sites.
