Milk.ly collects anonymous information through cookies. A cookie is a small piece of data containing a unique identification number that is sent to your browser from a web server, and is stored on your computer's hard drive. The unique ID number identifies your browser to Milk.ly's computers whenever you visit. Cookies do not enable anyone to access personally identifiable information that you have not already given us. Milk.ly primarily uses cookies to connect members with account information stored on Milk.ly's computers. This helps Milk.ly deliver a better and more personalised service.
Cookies are part of the technology implemented by your browser. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to either notify you when you have received a cookie, or to block them all together.
Milk.ly relies on cookies to preserve the Milk.ly identity you have created while logged on. If you choose to not accept cookies, you cannot participate as a registered, signed-in member.
You should be aware that Milk.ly's advertisers sometimes use banner ads to give you their own cookies. Milk.ly is not responsible for any issues that may arise regarding the Privacy Policies of any of its affiliates or advertisers. By using this site, you do hereby agree to hold Milk.ly harmless from any claims and/or damages that may arise from the policies and/or practices (or lack thereof) of any of its affiliates and/or advertisers.
Two things drive Milk.ly's decisions regarding the use of information collected from Milk.ly members:
Ads are a standard part of user experience on the Internet, and Milk.ly believes that targeted advertising enhances this experience. Milk.ly uses information collected from the web site's members to place ads where they believe interested parties will see them.
In addition to banner ads, Milk.ly may advertise products, companies and events that we think may be of interest to you through the email address you provide.
Milk.ly may analyse information provided directly by you, or obtained through cookies or third parties to direct services and content based on your interests. Milk.ly reserves the right to collect market research data in order to generate sales to corporate clients. However, market research data may be used at the aggregate level to:
Milk.ly's market research may be collected in some of the following ways:
When you visit websites on the Internet, your browser automatically transmits information to the sites you visit throughout every visit. Examples of such information include referral data (URL of the web page you were on before coming to Milk.ly), IP address, and your browser version. We collect this information to help improve our services and moderate the site. All the information that is automatically submitted by your browser is considered anonymous.
Milk.ly also logs information you submit through registration, forms for optional programs, surveys and other entries, cookie data and communications transmitted through Milk.ly applications. Only authorised Milk.ly staff members have access to your information in its entirety. Other employees may have access to portions of this information if it pertains to their job duties.
Your Milk.ly Profile is password-protected so that only you and authorised Milk.ly employees have access to your account information. In order to maintain this protection, do not give your password to anyone. If someone claiming to represent Milk.ly staff asks for any personal account information, including password, check their URL. If it doesn't say they are help@milk.ly, they're not. Also, if you share a computer, you should sign out of your Milk.ly account and close the browser window before someone else logs on. This will help protect your information entered on public terminals from disclosure to third parties.
Milk.ly makes every effort to ensure that your information is secure on its system. Extremely sensitive information, like credit card numbers, is always transmitted in encrypted form. Only certain authorised Milk.ly employees can access this information, and then only if it is relevant to their job duties. Milk.ly has staff dedicated to maintaining this Privacy Policy and other privacy initiatives, periodically reviewing web security and making sure that every Milk.ly employee is aware of our security practices. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, Milk.ly cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. If you have any further questions on this issue, refer to the page Terms of Use. Milk.ly expressly disclaims any liability that may arise should any other individuals obtain the information you submit to this site.
When you submit information to Milk.ly, it is generally collected, processed and maintained solely by us. Sometimes we may allow partner companies to collect information about members from us or directly from you (through their web site). When Milk.ly is the source, it is usually so that we can provide a service with a partner. We choose to work with companies that we believe to be upstanding and that we believe will treat your information responsibly. But, since we don't own these companies, we can't speak for them on privacy issues. Before telling them about yourself, check out their privacy statements. If you are not satisfied with their information practices, you can choose to not use their service.
Below is a summary of some of the situations in which Milk.ly might share some of the information that we collect from users.
