Flickitup.com Video strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience. We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, ) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We will never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third party. Period."
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide information when you register for access to certain portions of our site or request certain features, such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide information when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site. Like most Web sites, Flickitup.com Video also collects information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you and hold information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able to customize the site's features according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this information does not include any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on Flickitup.com Video to communicate with you about your registration and customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy; services and products offered by Flickitup.com Video and other topics we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by Flickitup.com Video may also be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications with you. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting service for example) may access such information. We will use your information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
Flickitup.com Video expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible through our site, may have their own privacy and data collection policies and practices. For example, during your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a Flickitup.com Video page, certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through Flickitup.com Video you may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. Flickitup.com Video is not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing information on a feature or page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about you. For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other features available on our site may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather information. 21 st Century Video does not control the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of Flickitup.com Video and this policy.

NETWORK ADVERTISING INITIATIVE
SELF-REGULATORY PRINCIPLES
FOR ONLINE PREFERENCE MARKETING
BY NETWORK ADVERTISERS
I. Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI") Overview
A. Network advertisers will adhere to the Online Privacy Alliance ("OPA") Privacy Policies
Guidelines for personally identifiable information.
B. Network advertisers will not use sensitive personally identifiable data for online preference
marketing.
C. Network advertisers will not, without prior affirmative consent ("opt-in"), merge
personally identifiable information with information previously collected as non-
personally identifiable information.
D. Network advertisers will provide consumers with robust notice and choice regarding
the merger of personally identifiable information with non-personally identifiable
information collected on a going forward basis for online preference marketing.
E. Network advertisers will not use personally identifiable information ("PII") consisting of PII
collected offline merged with PII collected online for online preference marketing unless
the consumer has been afforded robust notice and choice about such merger before it
occurs.
F. Network advertisers will require Web publishers with which they have contractual
relationships to provide notice and choice regarding the collection of non-personally
identifiable information for online preference marketing.
II. NAI's Statement of Purpose
The following principles were developed by the signatories to this Network Advertising
Initiative ("NAI") to guide business practices with respect to online advertising services
delivered by Internet network advertisers (hereinafter "network advertisers"). NAI companies
represent the vast majority of business-to-business, third-party network advertising companies
that serve commercial Web sites. Network advertisers facilitate Web advertising through ad
serving, hosting and ad sales services on the Web. For a Web site visitor, network advertisers
provide advertisements that are more likely to be of interest and eliminate duplicative
advertising. For a Web advertiser, network advertisers' services allow advertisers to reach
cost-effectively the audience most likely to be interested in a product or service.
Network advertisers believe that, just as they play an important role in electronic
commerce itself, they can play an important role in increasing consumer trust and confidence
in electronic commerce. To that end, network advertisers are committed to educating
consumers about the services they provide, enhancing consumers' ability to control the use of
information generated during use of the Internet, and working with their corporate customers
and clients to create an environment of trust that fosters protection for consumers' privacy
online and in electronic commerce.
NAI companies are among the leading providers of solutions for Web network
advertising products and services, such as banner advertising. Network advertisers in general
provide a variety of services to Web sites; chief among them is delivering advertising that is
tailored to demonstrated or predicted consumer characteristics or preferences. The collection
and use of data by network advertisers to understand consumer preferences is often called
"Profiling," but which is more accurately termed online preference marketing ("OPM"). OPM,
as used herein, is a process used by network advertisers whereby data is typically collected
over time and across Web pages to determine or predict consumer characteristics or
preferences for use in ad delivery on the Web. The OPM process can use non-personally
identifiable information or a combination of personally identifiable information and non-
personally identifiable information.
Effective Internet advertising is fundamental to the accessibility and dynamism of this
revolutionary medium. Advertising underwrites the rich variety of online content choices
available to consumers at no cost or at a far lower cost than would otherwise be possible. By
delivering customized advertising, network advertisers offer substantial benefits for consumers
and the advertiser. In addition, many small and emerging Web companies depend on network
advertisers to compete against more well-established companies and their Web sites.
Effective Internet advertising thus helps to maintain the low barriers to entry that have played a
crucial role in the robust competition and innovation that have fueled this medium.
Network advertisers realize that they have a strong interest in informing consumers of
their business practices because the network advertisers' practices and services are generally
not obvious to the consumer. Network advertisers commit to providing consumers notice and
choice about OPM. Network advertisers commit to the fair information practices articulated by
the Online Privacy Alliance ("OPA") (www.privacyalliance.org) for personally identifiable
information and to the consumer-friendly data management practices described below for non-
personally identifiable information. Adherence to these principles will provide consumers with
meaningful notice, appropriate opportunity to exercise choice, and increased confidence in
online advertising. To this end, and as described herein, network advertisers will: (1)
undertake business and consumer outreach; (2) disclose their data collection and use
practices; (3) provide consumers with effective notice and the ability easily to opt-out of the use
of data for OPM purposes; and (4) decline to merge personally identifiable information with
information previously collected as non-personally identifiable information, without the
consumer's prior affirmative consent ("opt-in") to any such merger.
III. Online Privacy Alliance ("OPA") Principles and Personally
Identifiable Information
Network advertisers affirm and agree to abide by the Guidelines for Online Privacy
Policies set forth by the OPA at: http://www.privacyalliance.org/resources/ppguidelines.shtml/.
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is data used to identify, contact or locate a person,
including name, address, telephone number, or E-mail address. As it relates to PII specifically,
the OPA states that its member companies must abide by the principles of notice, choice,
access and security as defined by the OPA Guidelines.
IV. Principles for Online Preference Marketing by Network Advertisers
OPM, as used herein, is a process used by network advertisers whereby data is
typically collected over time and across Web pages to determine or predict consumer
characteristics or preferences for use in ad delivery on the Web. The OPM process can use
non-personally identifiable information or a combination of personally identifiable information
Page 2
with non-personally identifiable information. OPM does not refer to the use of data by network
advertisers for Ad Delivery and Reporting (see infra at p. 6). OPM excludes the use of data
provided by a Web site or advertiser directly to the network advertiser and used by that
network advertiser for Internet advertising solely on behalf of such Web site or advertiser.
A. General OPM Safeguards
1. Sensitive Data - Network advertisers shall neither use personally
identifiable information about sensitive medical or financial data, sexual
behavior or sexual orientation, nor social security numbers, for OPM.
2. Collection from Reliable Sources - Network advertisers shall
make reasonable efforts to ensure that they are obtaining data for OPM from
reliable sources.
3. Protection of Collected Data - Network advertisers shall make
reasonable efforts to protect the data they collect for OPM from loss, misuse,
alteration, destruction or improper access.
4. Dissemination Restrictions - Network advertisers shall
contractually require that any third parties to which they provide PII data
adhere to, at a minimum, OPA Guidelines. For third parties to which they
provide non-aggregate non-personally identifiable data to be merged with PII
data possessed by the third party, network advertisers shall contractually
require those transferees to adhere to these NAI Self-Regulatory Principles
(unless the non-personally identifiable data is the proprietary data of the
particular third-party publisher or advertiser).
B. Non-Personally Identifiable OPM by Network Advertisers
1. OPM Using Non-Personally Identifiable Information
(Non-PII): Non-PII used for OPM by network advertisers is not linked to a
particular person and is typically compiled from click stream information as a
browser moves among different Web sites (or a single Web site) serviced by
a network advertiser or from information provided to a network advertiser by
third parties (so long as that information is not personally identifiable to the
network advertiser).
(a) Notice and Choice Policy - Network advertisers that
collect or use Non-PII online for OPM shall post clear and
conspicuous notice on the network advertiser's Web site about their
data collection and use practices, and each shall give consumers an
opportunity to opt out of OPM by that network advertiser. The opt-
out may be accessed at a designated location on the network
advertiser's Web site (which can be co-located with the company's
privacy policy) or through the gateway educational Web site
designed and supported by NAI companies for that purpose.
(www.networkadvertising.org)
Page 3
(b) Notice by Network Advertisers - Such notice by the
network advertiser shall include, without limitation, clear descriptions
of the following:
-Profiling activities undertaken by the network advertiser;
-what types of Non-PII are collected by the network advertiser;
-how such Non-PII will be used by the network advertiser
including transfer, if any, of non-aggregate data to a third party;
-procedures for opting out of such data use (including a
description of the circumstances that would make it necessary
for a consumer to renew their opt-out, such as when a
consumer changes computers, changes browsers, or deletes
relevant cookies); and
- the approximate length of time that such Non-PII will be retained
by the network advertiser.
(c) Choice -The opportunity to opt-out of OPM using Non-PII may be
accessed at a designated location on the network advertiser's Web
site (which can be co-located with the company's privacy policy) or
through the gateway educational Web site designed and supported
by NAI companies for that purpose. (www.networkadvertising.org)
(d) Customer Compliance -- Network advertisers, when
entering into a contract with publisher customers for services which
include OPM, shall require that their customers: (1) post a privacy
policy that clearly and conspicuously discloses (a) the customer's
use of the network advertiser services for OPM; (b) the type of
information that may be collected by the network advertiser; and (c)
the consumer's ability to choose not to participate; and (2) provide a
clear and conspicuous link to the Non-PII Opt-Out Page of the NAI
gateway educational site (or, if only one network advertiser services
the Web site, the customer may instead provide a link to a screen at
the site of the network advertiser with which it does business that
has on that screen either the ability to opt-out or a hyperlink to the
ability to opt-out) . A network advertiser "services" a Web site when
it collects Non-PII or PII data from that Web-site for the purposes of
OPM. If network advertisers know or have reason to know that a
publisher customer is in breach of the above-specified contractual
requirement, then the network advertiser will make reasonable
efforts to enforce the contract.
In the absence of a contractual relationship, as part of NAI's
business outreach efforts, network advertisers shall make
reasonable efforts to ensure that publishers: (1) post a privacy policy
that discloses (a) network advertiser OPM on their Web site; (b) the
type of information that may be collected by the network advertiser;
and (c) the consumer's ability to choose not to participate; and (2)
provide a link to either the network advertiser or the NAI gateway
educational site.
Appendix A provides a sample of acceptable notice language for
publisher customers to disclose OPM using Non-PII. (Samples are
illustrative only and do not establish a "one-size-fits-all" requirement.)
Page 4
At the NAI gateway educational site, the consumers who choose not
to participate will be afforded the ability readily to opt-out at a central
Web page. Appendix B provides a "screen shot" of the proposed
design of the NAI Non-PII Opt-Out Page. This page is being
designed to ensure that consumers will easily find a concise
description of the privacy practices of each of the NAI companies
and have the ability readily to opt-out from the OPM practices of
each NAI company at a central Web page. The Non-PII Opt-Out
Page is being designed so that its length will approximate two
conventional screen-lengths.
(e) Compliance with Laws and Regulations - Network
advertisers shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations
governing the collection and use of Non-PII.
(f) Change in Policy - If a network advertiser materially changes
its data collection and use policy, prior notice will be posted on its
Web site. Any such material change in policy shall apply only to
information collected following the change in policy. Information
collected prior to the material change in policy shall continue to be
governed by the policy in effect at the time the information was
collected, unless the consumer provides affirmative consent ("optin") to the previously collected information being governed by the
new policy.
2. Ad Delivery and Reporting
(a) Apart from OPM, some Non-PII is used for ad delivery and reporting
purposes ("Ad Delivery and Reporting"). Ad Delivery and Reporting
includes: (1) providing a specific advertisement based on a
particular type of browser or time of day; (2) statistical reporting in
connection with the activity on a Web site; (3) tracking the number of
ads served on a particular day to a particular Web site; and (4) other
non-OPM uses. Data used for Ad Delivery and Reporting can
include: type of browser, operating system, domain name, day and
time of visit, page(s) visited and search term (if any) and other data
(not including the use of clickstream data across Web sites for OPM)
that is not used to identify, contact or locate an individual. Web sites
are not required to disclose the collection of Non-PII for Ad Delivery
and Reporting purposes. To help promote public understanding of
these issues and of the different categories of information use,
however, network advertisers agree to disclose on the network
advertiser's Web site in a clear and conspicuous manner their Ad
Delivery and Reporting practices, including the type of information
collected and maintained for Ad Delivery and Reporting, and how
long that information is maintained.
(b) If a consumer elects to opt out of Non-PII OPM, Non-PII data
regarding that consumer's browser will be used by the network
advertiser only for Ad Delivery and Reporting purposes.
C. Merger of Non-PII with PII by Network Advertisers for OPM
Page 5
1. Network advertisers will not merge personally identifiable
information with information previously collected as Non-
PII, without the consumer's prior affirmative consent
("opt-in") to any such merger.
(a) Notice and Choice Policy - This category of merger of
Non-PII with PII by network advertisers for OPM applies to any OPM
activity that links previously collected Non-PII (as defined in sec.
IV.A.1) to personally identifiable information. PII is data used to
identify, contact, or locate a person, including but not limited by
name, address, telephone number, or E-mail address. Network
advertisers or organizations acting on their behalf will not merge
previously collected Non-PII with PII for OPM without the consumer's
prior affirmative consent ("opt-in") to any such merger.
(b) Notice by Network Advertisers -Such notice shall
include, without limitation, clear descriptions of the following:
-Profiling activities undertaken by the network advertiser;
-what types of PII and Non-PII previously collected will be
merged by the network advertiser;
-how the merged information will be used by the network
advertiser, including transfer, if any, to a third party;
-procedures for opting in to such data use (including a description
of the circumstances that would make it necessary for a
consumer to renew their opt-in, such as when a consumer
changes computers, changes browsers, or deletes relevant
cookies); and
- the approximate length of time that such information will be
retained by the network advertiser.
(c) Customer Compliance -When the PII is to be merged with
Non-PII that was previously collected, the consumer must give
affirmative consent ("opt-in") to such merger at the time such PII is
collected online or, if collected offline, first used online.
Appendix A provides a sample of acceptable notice language at the
time and place that PII is collected online for purposes of merger with
previously collected Non-PII. (Samples are illustrative only and do
not establish a "one-size-fits-all" disclosure requirement.)
Appendix C provides a sample "mock-up" of notice provided at the
time and place of collection of PII for purposes of merger with
previously collected Non-PII. (This sample is illustrative only.)
(d) Notwithstanding the above affirmative consent ("opt-in") option,
network advertisers will not merge Non-PII with PII if that Non-PII
was collected pursuant to a privacy policy that stated that such
information would never be merged with PII.
(e) Network advertisers will collect PII for OPM purposes only from the
sites of publisher customers with which they have contractual
relationships. If network advertisers know or have reason to know
Page 6
that a publisher customer is in breach of the above-specified
contractual requirement for Customer Compliance, then the network
advertiser will make reasonable efforts to enforce the contract.
(f) Access to PII - Network advertisers shall provide consumers
with reasonable access to PII and other information that is
associated with PII retained by the network advertiser for OPM uses.
2. Network advertisers will not merge PII with Non-PII
collected on a going forward basis (i.e., after the user
provides PII) for OPM unless the consumer has been
afforded robust notice and choice about such merger
before it occurs. This practice will be referred to as the
merger of PII with prospective Non-PII.
(a) Robust Notice and Choice Policy - This category of
merger of Non-PII with PII by network advertisers for OPM applies to
any OPM activity that links personally identifiable information to Non-
PII (as defined in sec. IV.A.1) collected on a prospective basis only.
Network advertisers or organizations acting on their behalf will not
merge prospective Non-PII with PII for OPM unless the consumer
has been afforded robust notice and choice about such merger
before it occurs. For notice to be robust, the consumer must be
afforded clear and conspicuous notice about the scope of the Non-
PII that would be made personally identifiable and how the Non-PII
will be used as a result of such merger.
(b) Network advertisers also will not use PII consisting of PII collected
offline merged with PII collected online for OPM purposes unless the
consumer has been afforded robust notice and choice about such
merger before it occurs.
(c) Notice by Network Advertisers -Such notice shall
include, without limitation, clear descriptions of the following:
-Profiling activities undertaken by the network advertiser;
-what types of PII and Non-PII will be merged by the network
advertiser;
-how the merged information will be used by the network
advertiser, including transfer, if any, to a third party;
-procedures for opting out of such data use (including a
description of the circumstances that would make it necessary
for a consumer to renew their opt-out, such as when a
consumer changes computers, changes browsers, or deletes
relevant cookies); and
- the approximate length of time that such information will be
retained by the network advertiser.
(d) Customer Compliance -When the PII is to be merged with
Non-PII that will be collected on a prospective basis only, the
consumer must be afforded a clear and conspicuous opportunity to
opt-out of such merger at the time and place such PII is collected
Page 7
online or, if collected offline, first used online. The notice at the time
and place of collection of the PII must disclose (a) that the PII is
shared with a network advertiser for purposes of OPM; (b) the type
of information that may be collected and linked by the network
advertiser; (c) the consequent loss or partial loss of anonymity to the
advertising company of future Web usage; and (d) the ability of the
consumer to choose not to participate. For purposes of merger of
PII with prospective Non-PII, the notice and ability to opt-out must be
provided above or before the button to submit the PII. For that
network advertiser, the opt-out shall be at least for the purpose
defined in the disclosure and shall occur either at the Web publisher
site, the network advertiser's Web site or at the Merger Opt-Out
Page of the NAI gateway educational site,
www.networkadvertising.org. Because consumers may not know for
which network advertiser they have opted out or whether they have
done so for the life of the browser, the consumer may also opt-out of
the merger of Non-PII and PII at the Merger Opt-Out Page of the NAI
gateway educational site, www.networkadvertising.org, at any
subsequent point in time. Once a user has opted out at the NAI
gateway educational site, the user has done so for the life of the
browser or until the user deletes the opt-out cookie.
Appendix A provides a sample of acceptable notice language at
the time and place that PII is collected online for purposes of
merger with prospective Non-PII. (Samples are illustrative only
and do not establish a "one-size-fits-all" disclosure requirement.)
Appendix B provides a "screen shot" of the proposed design of the
NAI Merger Opt-Out Page. This page is being designed to ensure
that consumers will easily find a concise description of the privacy
practices of each of the NAI companies that merge PII and Non-PII
and have the ability readily to opt-out from the OPM merger
practices of those NAI companies at a central Web page. The
Merger Opt-Out Page is being designed so that its length will
approximate two conventional screen-lengths.
Appendix D provides a sample "mock-up" of robust notice and
choice provided at the time and place of collection of PII for purposes
of merger with prospective Non-PII. The sample notice is clear and
conspicuous in the context of this particular Web-site mock-up. This
sample is illustrative only, because the Web sites on which such
notices will appear will be of infinite variety. However, for this
category of merger, all such opt-out notices in the screen presented
to the user shall be substantially similar in clarity and prominence to
this sample notice.
(e) Ad Delivery and Reporting -- Non-PII collected solely for
purposes of Ad Delivery and Reporting following a consumer's
election to opt out of the collection of data for OPM may not, under
any circumstances, be combined with PII.
(f) Change in Policy - If a network advertiser materially changes
its data collection and use policy, prior notice will be posted on its
Web site. Any such material change in policy shall apply only to
information collected following the change in policy. Information
Page 8
collected prior to the material change in policy shall continue to be
governed by the policy in effect at the time the information was
collected, unless the consumer provides affirmative consent ("optin") to the previously collected information being governed by the
new policy. For this consent to be effective, the consumer must be
advised clearly about the scope of the Non-PII that would be made
personally identifiable as a result of such merger.
(g) Network advertisers will collect PII for OPM purposes only from the
sites of publisher customers with which they have contractual
relationships. If network advertisers know or have reason to know
that a publisher customer is in breach of the above-specified
contractual requirement for Customer Compliance, then the network
advertiser will make reasonable efforts to enforce the contract.
V. NAI Educational Efforts Aimed at Businesses and Consumers
A. Business Outreach - NAI companies shall undertake to educate their
business customers about the data collection and use issues associated with Internet
advertising and services, the NAI Principles described herein, and the benefits of the
responsible flow of information.
B. Consumer Outreach - NAI companies shall undertake to educate consumers
about the data collection and use issues associated with Internet advertising on their
own Web sites and in the privacy statements of their customers. In addition, NAI has
established a Web site, located at http://www.networkadvertising.org/, in order to
facilitate consumer awareness and provide a convenient mechanism for consumers to
exercise choice regarding such data collection and/or use.
VI. Compliance
NAI members shall be obligated to implement these Principles within six (6) months of
the adoption of the Principles. However, the conditions on the merging of PII and Non-PII data
shall be effective immediately upon the release of these Principles. All future members of NAI
will be obligated to implement these Principles within six (6) months of joining NAI. However,
the conditions on PII and the merging of PII and Non-PII data shall be effective immediately at
the time the company joins NAI.
VII. Enforcement
NAI members agree to work with a Privacy Compliance Program that certifies third-
party ad serving and/or network advertisers to establish a Privacy Compliance Program that
will govern compliance with the NAI Principles for Online Preference Marketing by Network
Advertisers, and to join such a program, within six months of the adoption of the Principles.
The Privacy Compliance Program will include elements typical of a "seal" program,
including: random audits by the third-party enforcer; the ability of consumers to file complaints
and the third-party enforcer to investigate; for those network advertisers found not in
compliance, an opportunity to redress the shortcomings of a report by the third-party enforcer;
and, finally, if the network advertiser remains not in compliance after a reasonable opportunity
Page 9
to redress, the possibility of sanctions, including revocation of the seal and making such action
publicly available at some designated central point as well to the Federal Trade Commission.
If no third party enforcement program that certifies third party ad serving and / or
network advertisers is in place within six months of the adoption of the Principles, the NAI
members will use independent audits of their practices to certify compliance with the NAI
Principles. The summary report of such audits shall be made publicly available at the NAI
Gateway Educational site.
VIII. Amendments to Principles
These principles may be amended by a four-fifths vote of the signatories to this
document after thirty days prior written notice has been provided to the Privacy Compliance
Program, the Federal Trade Commission and the Commerce Department.

APPENDIX A
SAMPLE NOTICE LANGUAGE
SAMPLES ARE ILLUSTRATIVE ONLY AND DO NOT ESTABLISH
A "ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL" STANDARD
Within the categories of Non-PII and Merger of PII with Non-PII, the business models employed
by a third-party advertiser can vary significantly. The key facts that must be disclosed to consumers in
an appropriate notice disclosure, therefore, can also vary.
As a consequence, one should expect that clear and factually accurate notice disclosures can be
narrowly tailored depending on the actual business model employed in any specific case. Adequate
notice disclosures may therefore vary across advertising company and Web publisher site. So long as
the notice disclosure is accurate, it need not be overbroad nor track the notice language that may be
appropriate in another setting. Nevertheless, in all instances, notice must be factually accurate and
objectively lead the reader to know about certain key aspects of the profiling practices of the third-party
advertiser, as well as the consumer's ability to choose not to participate.

APPENDIX C
SAMPLE MOCK-UP: Merger of PII with (Previously Collected) Non-PII
SAMPLE MOCK-UPS ARE ILLUSTRATIVE ONLY
A standard of reasonableness should govern the interpretation of "clear and conspicuous"
placement of notice disclosures. Employing a reasonableness standard means that NAI cannot
establish hard-and-fast guidelines to determine what constitutes clear and conspicuous placement of
adequate notice disclosure, because the Web publisher pages on which notice disclosures will appear
are of infinite variety. Reasonably clear and conspicuous notice will vary with the complexity and style
of the Web page on which the notice must appear.
Sample mock-ups are illustrative of only one manner of how one might reasonably place sample
notice language so as to ensure clear and conspicuous notice. NAI believes that the sample mock-up
provided on the attached page falls within the reasonableness standard. Nevertheless, notice must be
provided at the time and place of collection of PII for purposes of merger with Non-PII above or before
the submit button.

APPENDIX D
SAMPLE MOCK-UP: Merger of PII with (Prospective) Non-PII
SAMPLE MOCK-UPS ARE ILLUSTRATIVE ONLY
A standard of reasonableness should govern the interpretation of "clear and conspicuous"
placement of notice disclosures. Employing a reasonableness standard means that NAI cannot
establish hard-and-fast guidelines to determine what constitutes clear and conspicuous placement of
adequate notice disclosure, because the Web publisher pages on which notice disclosures will appear
are of infinite variety. Reasonably clear and conspicuous notice will vary with the complexity and style
of the Web page on which the notice must appear.
Appendix D provides sample "mock-ups" of robust notice and choice provided at the time and
place of collection of PII for purposes of merger with prospective Non-PII. The sample notice is clear
and conspicuous in the context of this particular Web-site mock-up. This sample is illustrative only;
however, for this category of merger, all such opt-out notices in the screen presented to the user shall
be substantially similar in clarity and prominence to this sample notice. Moreover, notice must be
provided at the time and place of collection of PII for purposes of merger with Non-PII above or before
the submit button.

DEFINITIONS
Ad Delivery and Reporting - Ad Delivery and Reporting includes: (1) providing a specific
advertisement based on a particular type of browser or time of day; (2) statistical reporting in
connection with the activity on a Web site; (3) tracking the number of ads served on a particular day to
a particular Web site; and (4) other non-OPM uses. Data used for Ad Delivery and Reporting can
include: type of browser, operating system, domain name, day and time of visit, page(s) visited and
search term (if any) and other data (not including the use of clickstream data across Web sites for
OPM) that is not used to identify, contact or locate an individual.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information (Non-PII) - Non-PII used for OPM by network advertisers is
not linked to a particular person and is typically compiled from click stream information compiled as a
browser moves among different Web sites (or a single Web site) serviced by a particular network
advertiser or from information provided by third parties (so long as that information is not personally
identifiable to the network advertiser).
Online Preference Marketing (OPM) - OPM is a process used by network advertisers whereby data
is typically collected over time and across Web pages to determine or predict consumer characteristics
or preferences for use in ad delivery on the Web. The OPM process can use non-personally
identifiable information or a combination of personally identifiable information and non-personally
identifiable information. OPM does not refer to the use of data by network advertisers for Ad Delivery
and Reporting. OPM excludes the use of data provided by a Web site or advertiser directly to the
network advertiser and used by that network advertiser for Internet advertising solely on behalf of such
Web site or advertiser.
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) - PII is data used to identify, contact or locate a person,
including name, address, telephone number, or E-mail address.
Services - A network advertiser "services" a Web site when it collects Non-PII or PII data from that
Web-site for the purposes of OPM.
Web -The Web is actually just one service on the Internet. It is a collection of graphical hyper-linked
documents made publicly available on computers (or Web servers) around the world. The information
on these servers can be viewed or accessed with a browser.
