Maintaining your privacy online is important to Discovered Models. Please read the following policy to understand how your personal information will be protected as you use the many features of Discovered Models. Discovered Models maintains this Web site as a service to its members. We are committed to protecting your privacy so that your time on Discovered Models provides you with the best and safest online experience possible.

Personal Information Collection Two kinds of personal information are requested during registration: personally identifiable information and demographic information. Personally identifiable information is required for registration, but other demographic information is optional and may be given at your discretion. During registration, Discovered Models asks for your first and last name, an email address. In addition, we ask you to provide a password. Personally identifiable information is not shared with anyone, nor is it sold to anyone. The demographic information gathered includes gender, approximate age, state and Zip code. You may update any of this information at any time from within your Discovered Models account by clicking on "login" and entering your name and password. In addition to registration, we may ask you for personal information at other times, such as when you report a problem with one of our sites or services. Discovered Models may also occasionally ask members to complete surveys that we use for internal research.

Personal Information Utilization Your personal information is used only for demographic statistics and to display appropriately targeted advertisements. For example, Discovered Models does internal research on our members' demographics and interests based on what you tell us when you register. In general, Discovered Models automatically gathers certain usage information like the numbers and frequency of visits to Discovered Models. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis, meaning your personal demographic information is never directly accessed. The collective data helps us determine how often Discovered Models members use parts of the site, primarily so that we can improve our site to keep it as interesting and appealing as possible. Discovered Models may disclose aggregated user statistics (for example, 20% of our users are between 33-40 years old) so that we may describe our services to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes. By providing this information, you acknowledge that Discovered Models may use members' profile information to improve or customize the Discovered Models service or to provide demographic profiling to obtain advertising. Any use of profile information will be conducted in line with the guidelines set forth in this Privacy Statement. Discovered Models' main goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with the best customized experience on our site. Note that Discovered Models will not send you any unsolicited information, including email, unless you have indicated your willingness to receive such information. Upon registration, new members will receive a Discovered Models welcome letter explaining the features provided by our service. When on the site, we provide an opportunity for you to tell a friend about Discovered Models. If you provide the email address of a friend, we send a brief note describing our services to your friend. Discovered Models does not collect the email addresses of people whom you contact, and never sends solicitations of any kind to these addresses.

How Does Discovered Models Use Cookies? Discovered Models uses "cookies" to identify a member's session on Discovered Models and thereby offer continuity as the member moves around the site. Cookies allow Web sites to maintain user information across connections. They are small strings of characters used by many Web sites (including Discovered Models) to deliver data to your computer, and in certain circumstances, return the information to the Web site. This is how we can "remember" information about members such as your password. Cookies contain only information that members volunteer, and they do not have the capability of infiltrating a user's hard drive and stealing personal information. The simple function of a cookie is that of helping the user navigate a Web site with as little obstruction as possible. If you set your browser to not accept cookies, then you will be unable to log on to Discovered Models.

Security Personal information collected by Discovered Models is stored and maintained in secure operating environments that are not available to the public. Discovered Models does not sell or rent member information to anyone. When we ask you for personal information, you are sharing that information with Discovered Models alone, unless it is specifically stated otherwise. We do not share it with any third parties unless we believe that such action is necessary to either conform to legal requirements, protect the rights of Discovered Models, or enforce the Discovered Models Terms of Service. Please be aware that Discovered Models advertisers or Web sites that have links on our site may collect personally identifiable information about you. As stated below (Third Party Web Sites) the information practices of those Web sites are not covered by this privacy statement. Please be aware that you might also provide personal information through discussion sessions, model page or email exchanges. Certain information that you choose to post is publicly available. For example, information posted in model pages is accessible. The Discovered Models "Privacy Statement" cannot protect your personal information if it is transferred in this manner. We recommend that you be careful when distributing any personal information this way. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. We will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. Remember to log out and close your browser window when you have finished your work to ensure that others cannot access your personal information.
