of the operation of the Site includes the gathering of certain types of information about Site users.

Because we understand that your privacy is important, we wish to explain the types of information we

gather and the way in which we use it. This Privacy Policy applies to the Site.

This Privacy Policy covers two types of information gathered at the Site, personal and aggregated. The

term “personal information” refers to data you voluntarily provide in connection with use of the Site that

identifies you accessing and using the Site. Personal information includes, e.g., data submitted in

connection with our services, such as your name, e-mail address, phone number, physical address and/or

certain other personal information. The term “aggregated data” refers to general information regarding

visitors and users of the Site that relates to use of the Site, e.g., traffic patterns, number of visits to

certain pages, visits from other web sites or to third-party web sites linked to the Site, use of particular

Exceptions to the Privacy Policy

Global Adventuress has two exceptions to these limits on use of personal information:

Global Adventuress may monitor and, when we believe in good faith that disclosure is required, disclose

information to protect the security, property, assets and/or rights of Global Adventuress from

unauthorized use, or misuse, of the Site or anything found at the Site.

Global Adventuress may disclose information when required by law; however, only to the extent

necessary and in a manner that seeks to maintain the privacy of the individual.

Global Adventuress may provide links to a number of other web sites that we believe might offer you

useful information and services. However, those sites may not follow the same privacy policies as Global

including without limitation, any web site owners whose sites may be reached through this Site, nor can

we control the activities of those web sites. We urge you to contact the relevant parties controlling these

sites or accessing their on-line policies for the relevant information about their data collection practices

before submitting any personal information or other sensitive data.
