Respecting users' privacy is a key value for Excite. To learn about what personal
information Excite collects and how it may be used, please read Excite's privacy policy here below. Thank you.
We will comply with the Data Protection Act 1998 and any other applicable data protection
legislation. By registering for the Excite Portal Services you consent to our using and/or disclosing
your personal information for the following purposes:
- providing, or arranging for third
parties to provide, help desk facilities which may be available to you which may involve disclosing your
personal information to third parties solely for those purposes;
- providing, or arranging for
third parties - including third parties located not within the European Union - to provide, any
additional services you request from us;
- as required or permitted by law from time to time.
We will not use your personal data for marketing other Excite products and services or any
third party products and services without having given you the opportunity to opt out of such marketing
opportunities.
We are committed to protecting your right to privacy. Any information you
provide to us will be held on computers that are based in the European Union or the United States of
America. We collect information about our users in order to help continually improve the Excite Portal
Services. We also use the information you provide us to enter into commercial arrangements, including
the sale of advertising space, which allow the Excite Portal Service to remain free for all our users.
We will always adhere to the Data Protection Act 1998 (UK) in relation to our use of your information
and any other applicable data protection laws. This Privacy Policy relates only to our use of the
information you provide us and your use of the Excite Portal and does not extend to your use of the
Internet other than the Excite Portal.
We collect the personal data you provide when you register for Excite Portal Services with us. We
also collect any other personal data that you provide when using the Excite Portal, for example, to
enter competitions. We also use cookie technology to monitor which areas of the Excite Portal you
prefer. The information obtained from the cookies is not stored alongside your personal data and will
only be used on an anonymous, aggregated basis. We may also hold information relating to any
transactions that you enter into with us or any of our third party retail partners.
We use the
advertising agencies to serve ads when you visit Excite Sites. These companies may use information about
your visits to Excite Sites, including the searches you conduct while on Excite Sites. None of this
information is used to identify you personally. This information is used to present you with relevant
advertisements on other Websites that you may visit.
We may use the personal information we collect from you to build up a profile of your interests and
preferences. This information may be disclosed to other Excite group companies and carefully selected
third parties and/or used to make you aware of products or services that you may find of interest. If
you do not wish to have your details passed on to carefully selected third parties or if you do not wish
to receive unsolicited mailings from us, you may anytime opt out in the user profile section of the
Excite Portal.
The advertisements appearing on the Excite Portal are delivered to you by ourselves and by
advertising agencies. Information about your visit to the Excite Portal, such as the number of times you
have viewed a particular advertisement (but not information about you, such as your name, address or any
other personal information) is used to decide which advertisements to serve to you.
In the
course of serving advertisements to you cookie technology may be used, but such cookies will not be used
to collect any personally identifiable information about you.
It is our policy to respect the privacy of private communications. We will not intentionally inspect
the contents of private communications sent or received using the Excite Portal except as required or
permitted to do so by law.
We do not specifically collect information about children and believe that children should always get
the consent of their parents before giving out any personal information. Where children are specifically
encouraged to participate within the Excite Portal, they will always be advised that they should seek
parental permission before they continue with the activity. We recommend that parents actively
participate and where possible monitor their children's use of the Excite Portal.
Keeping your
details private
The use of Newsgroups or Forums/Chat, either within the Excite Portal or on the
Internet, is at your own risk. This may result in you receiving unsolicited messages from other parties
who have picked up your details from such services. Further, do not forget that if you enter your
details in the Excite Users Directory they will be generally available to all Excite users.
We may need to disclose your data to appropriate persons where required or permitted by law (for
example, to law enforcement authorities in relation to the investigation of a suspected criminal
offence).
