BEST Privacy Statement

WhenUSearch BEST protects your privacy by uploading a database of content in small chunks to your desktop and then determining on your desktop whether to retrieve information from WhenU or third-party servers. To protect your privacy, the same database of content is sent to all desktops. Decisions regarding which advertising and offers to retrieve are processed on your computer desktop. In this way, WhenU is able to deliver to you relevant coupons, information and advertisements without establishing any profile about you (even anonymously) on WhenU servers.

Your privacy is also protected in the following manner:

1) Your personally-identifiable information is not required in order to use WhenUSearch BEST. WhenU does not know your individual identity and does not attempt to discern it in any way.

2) As you surf the Internet, your "clickstream data" (i.e. a log of all the sites you visit) is not transmitted to WhenU or any third party server. (Although impressions and click-throughs that contain indicia of browsing activity are transmitted each time an ad is served, as described below, these communications are never linked to personally identifiable information and are otherwise carefully designed to protect your privacy.)

3) WhenU does not assemble any personally-identifiable browsing profiles of you or your individual machine.

4) WhenU does not assemble any anonymous machine-identifiable browsing profile of you or your machine.

5) WhenU does not track which ads and offers you see as an individual user — all of our analysis and tracking of ads is done in the aggregate.

WhenUSearch BEST does send back certain information from your desktop in order to count the number of users in our network and optimize the performance and relevancy of the ads. For example, when an offer is displayed to you by WhenUSearch BEST and you click on such an offer, WhenUSearch BEST sends WhenU a communication that may include information about the search term or keyword that you typed into your browser's address bar before you saw or clicked on a particular ad. WhenU has intentionally designed these communications back to WhenU to be highly protective of user privacy, in the following ways:

(a) Each individual desktop is assigned an anonymous, unique machine ID. This machine ID is used only to enable WhenU to count unique, active desktops in the network. The machine ID is not used to determine which ads to serve individual users or to create browsing profiles of users.

(b) When ads are requested and/or displayed by WhenUSearch BEST, impressions and click-throughs, including the factor (e.g., the keyword or search term typed into the browser's address bar) that caused the ad to be displayed are reported to WhenU. To protect your privacy and prevent WhenU or any third party from assembling individual user profiles or knowing your browsing activity, your unique machine ID is intentionally excluded from any communications sent back to WhenU that may include a URL or such other browsing-specific information.

WhenUSearch BEST does not place any cookies on your desktop. It is possible that a third party advertising on our network might place a cookie on your desktop. If you wish to opt-out from third party cookies, please click on the following link and follow the instructions: http://www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp.

WhenU.com may update this privacy statement at any time. WhenU is committed to serving highly relevant, contextual coupons and offers, while still providing consumers with industry-leading privacy protection.
