Information You Give Us
The use of certain features and services on the Site requires that you register and supply personally identifiable information such as your email address, which is stored by YouTheJury. When you register as a member of the Site, we may also collect additional information from you in order to provide you with those specific services and to personalise your experience on the Site in the future. For example, YouTheJury.com users may provide more information through the administration tools provided, and that information will be stored with your user profile.
Information Gathered Automatically
The Site may use “cookies” to automatically recognise returning users. Cookies used by the Site may contain your user name, email address, IP address or zip code. A cookie is a small file on your hard drive that allows us to display your previously defined information and preferences whenever you visit our site. “Clear gifs” are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and may be used to track the online movements of Web users or to let us know if you have opened an email that we sent you.
Your access provider assigns an internet protocol address to your computer when you use the Internet. We collect each IP address that accesses the Sites; computer and connection information such as browser type and version, operating system, and platform; your behavior on the Site, as well as the URL you come from and go to next; cookie number; participating merchants you visit and the items that you purchase. We use this data, as well as other data in our databases, to analyse site and user behavior, troubleshoot technical problems, resolve disputes, address complaints, prepare aggregated reports that we share with others and customise your experience on the Site.
You can block cookies by changing the settings on your browser (contact your ISP for help), but doing so may prevent us from delivering certain services to you (e.g., saved searches). Your browser must also be set to accept cookies in order to access these aspects of a Site.
Other Data Collection
We may get data from or about you in other ways not specifically described in this statement. For example, you might contact Community Care or customer support, or we may get a third party complaint about you.

Such information and data are based on aggregated, anonymous information about hundreds of registered users and do not include any personally identifiable information about individuals.
Advertisers
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Site. These companies may use information about your visits to the Sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. When we do this, we do not provide your name, address, email address or telephone number.
Third party ad servers may place or recognise a cookie and, using the cookie or otherwise, collect and use data from your visits to the Sites and other websites to serve ads to you.
Other
We may share your information with our affiliates, consultants, vendors and service providers, who assist us in maintaining the Site and providing related services such as online registration for events.
Other Disclosures
In addition, we may share data with any parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, and other companies under a common control or acquirers. As our business evolves, YouTheJury may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of its assets, including personally identifiable information, in connection with a merger, reorganisation, or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy. In such an event, personal and anonymous information may be one of the assets transferred.
We may disclose information when required by law or under the good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary in order to conform to applicable law, comply with legal process served on YouTheJury, or to protect the property or interests of YouTheJury, its agents and employees, personal safety, or the public. Under such circumstances, YouTheJury may be prohibited by law, court order or other legal process from providing notice of the disclosure, and YouTheJury reserves the right not to provide such notice in its sole discretion.

Content and Ratings
You can publish reviews, comments and other content. Members can choose to rate products or reviews, and to create a web of trust.
Your review ratings and trust statements are displayed publicly. Your member name is automatically displayed with reviews and comments you publish, and other members may receive email notifications of your publications or publish their own comments to your reviews.
We, and our licensees, can republish your content as described in our User Agreement. We publish product ratings and use them to develop aggregate ratings, personalise site views and merchandise products. We may use your review ratings to personalise site views and identify/feature popular members. For example, we may promote most popular reviews and members.
Feedback
We may ask for your feedback through a survey, and we may use the results for our internal development and marketing research. We may also share the results with our affiliates, consultants, vendors and service providers.
Links to Other Sites
The Site contains links to other web sites. YouTheJury is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these sites. If you have concerns about how other web sites collect and use information about you, make sure to read that site’s own privacy policy.
Changing or Deleting Information About You
Registered members may update or edit personal information or delete their membership account by accessing the administration area. We try to implement changes to our databases as quickly as possible. However, not all databases may be updated immediately, and some old data may remain in our archives and records. Also, we may be unable to send changes you make to partners, vendors or third party service providers who have already received your data or content. If your account or membership is being terminated or suspended, we may maintain some data to prevent re-registration.
We will retain in our files information you have requested to delete in some circumstances, such as to resolve disputes, analyse programs and enforce our User Agreement. Furthermore, such prior information is never completely removed from our databases due to technical and legal constraints, including stored “back up” systems.
Choice/Opt-Out of YouTheJury Email Communications
At any time (and except for administrative emails discussed above), you have the ability to opt-out of receiving communications from YouTheJury and our partners. To unsubscribe from the YouTheJury email newsletter, contact Customer Support and let us know that you would like to discontinue this service. In addition, each of our email messages contains a link at the bottom of the email for purposes of adjusting your email subscription preferences or to be removed from our mailing list.
Security
YouTheJury uses physical, electronic and administrative safeguards, including advanced firewall and password protection for our databases, designed to protect the security of data. We restrict access to your personally identifying information to employees that need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services.
Notification of Changes
This Privacy Policy may be revised over time as our business grows and evolves. We will post any new privacy policy, along with the date of its last revision, on the Site so that you will always know what information we gather, how we use that information, and whether we will disclose it to anyone. Please check the Site regularly for information about revisions to our privacy policy.
Anti-Spam Policy
YouTheJury is 100% opposed to unsolicited commercial email or spam. We do not send emails to anyone without permission and we do not sell or provide email addresses to any unauthorised third party. If you receive any unsolicited emails from spammers, please be assured that YouTheJury did not provide your email addresses to such parties. This does not mean that we can prevent spam from happening on the Internet.
If you believe that you have received an unsolicited email from us, please contact our legal Department and we will investigate.
