As an Internet user, you have the right to expect any Web Site to disclose its privacy policies in order to explain how your personal information is collected, used, and shared. You also have a responsibility to choose which Web Sites you feel comfortable disclosing such information to.

Item A: Why do you need my personal information for Member Registration?

In order to provide community services and benefits to you as a Member, Cambridge NOW maintains a limited amount of your personal information given during Registration and the optional Member Profile Survey. Your identifying information protects your uniqueness as a Cambridge NOW member, preventing others from using the same log-in or Message Boards Screen Name.

We also compile general Member info to create an in-house demographic profile of our Members for the sole purpose of bringing more relevant content and services to the Cambridge NOW community of residents, users and businesses. We always welcome and rely upon your suggestions for improvements and additional services.

Item B: Who has access to my Member Registration & Profile Survey information?

First, we pledge that Cambridge NOW will under no circumstances willingly give access to your Registration or Profile Survey information to any third party for any purpose, either commercial or otherwise. Even in-house use of your information is restricted and password-protected: only a limited number of our Professional Staff can view your personal demographic information.

The information you entrust to us is protected on a secure web server; we have made and continue to make substantial efforts to achieve a well protected environment. However, Cambridge NOW —nor any Web Site operator —can completely guarantee that your information will be immune from unauthorized access.

Item C: What about Cookies?

Cambridge NOW Registered Members are required to have Cookies enabled on their computers. During a web session on Cambridge NOW, we rely on this technology to allow you to access your Registered Member profile and “My CAMBRIDGE” Member Info page as many times as you wish while using the other pages of our site. Once initially logged-in, you will not be prompted for your log-in name and password again unless you log out. This mechanism is employed solely for your convenience and for no other purpose.

Item D: Is any of my information public?

Please be aware that, while your Registration and Profile information is always confidential, all of your listing submissions and postings to the public pages of Cambridge NOW are available for all users to view. Therefore, listing submissions and postings are not private information. We urge you to always use caution and discretion when posting any personally identifying information about yourself or your household.

Some of our listing submission forms require contact information such as name and phone number; however, these pages declare whether or not your personal information will appear on the listing. In many cases, you can select which pieces of information you want others to see on the live Web Site.

Item E: What will Cambridge NOW do with my public information?

Posting communications on or through the Web Site automatically grants Cambridge NOW a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, edit, translate, distribute, perform, and display the information alone or as part of other works in any form, media, or technology whether now known or hereafter developed. The foregoing grants shall include the right to exploit any proprietary rights in such communication, including but not limited to rights under copyright, trademark, service mark or patent laws under any relevant jurisdiction.

Cambridge NOW specifically disclaims any liability with regard to any actions resulting from your submissions and postings to the public portion of the Web Site. Generally, any communication which you post to the Website is considered to be non-confidential.
