GoguenArch.com Privacy Policy

We understand that you have confidential business information and want you to know that goguenarch.com is committed to safeguarding your privacy online, and that we strive to make our site as safe and secure as reasonably possible. In order to address our subscribers’ most frequently asked questions we’ve organized our privacy statement in Q&A format. If you have any questions after reading through our statement, please let us know. We want to hear from you! You can email us at info@goguenarch.com

What information does goguenarch.com collect from me?

During Plans Room registration we ask for your name, company name, email address, phone, and company type. In addition to the information we obtain at registration, we may ask you for information at other times, such as  when you submit a listing for a web site, or when you report a problem with one of our sites or services. If you contact goguenarch.com we may keep a record of that correspondence. Finally, goguenarch.com collects information about its subscribers in general, which does not necessarily identify the subscriber, using our server log files and some of the methods described under "cookies" below.

What about goguenarch.com’s partner services or linked sites?

Certain products and services are made available through goguenarch.com but are made available by partners, either through their own web sites or on web sites that they share with goguenarch.com. When ordering, registering for or purchasing products or services from these partners, you will be entering into an agreement with that partner, and not with goguenarch.com. In these cases, this privacy policy does not apply; instead, the privacy policy of the partner actually providing the goods and services will apply. We urge you to read and understand our partners’ policies before entering into agreements with them. We are committed to partnering with companies that share our privacy concerns. goguenarch.com, however, can’t control the way these partners collect or use information.

Also, when you click through to a partner’s, an advertiser’s or another site linked from goguenarch.com, those companies may use cookies or other means to collect information about you. Again, this privacy policy does not apply to those sites; instead, the privacy policy of the site you visit will apply.

If you have questions about our partners’ privacy policies or the privacy policies of these other sites, we encourage you to contact them directly.

Why does goguenarch.com gather this information?

goguenarch.com’s primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you, the user, with a customized experience on our site. This includes personalization services, interactive communications, online commerce and many other types of services, most of which are completely free to you. By knowing a little about you, goguenarch.com is able to deliver better service and content that is more relevant to our individual users.

How does goguenarch.com use my information?

goguenarch.com uses your information to enable you to take advantage of the features available through goguenarch.com. Once you register, you are no longer anonymous to goguenarch.com - you are given access to goguenarch.com  and are able to take full advantage of goguenarch.com’s many offerings. Additional information you volunteer enables us to better customize your experience. We may also use your contact information to reach you regarding important issues about the use of our service.

We use other information we collect to get a better understanding of our subscriber base. The more insight we have into you—the people who use goguenarch.com on a daily basis—the better we can serve you. Therefore, we analyze our users’ demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information provided to us through our web site. Our research and analysis is done on an aggregate basis, and does not intend to identify you personally.

With whom, and how, does goguenarch.com share my information?

1. Nobody.

2. Special Cases:

goguenarch.com may also disclose account information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating goguenarch.com’s Terms of Service. The same policy applies in cases where we believe an individual may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) goguenarch.com’s rights or property, other goguenarch.com users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. goguenarch.com may disclose or access account information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.

What are cookies and how does goguenarch.com use them?

A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server, and gets saved on your computer hard drive. These cookie files store and sometimes track information about what you do on goguenarch.com. This information makes it possible for us to offer and provide highly customized services. All areas on goguenarch.com where you are prompted to log-in or that are customizable require that you accept cookies.

Generally, we use cookies to:

  • Remind us of who you are and to access your profile (stored on our computers) in order to deliver to you a better and more personalized service. This cookie is set when you register or "Log On" and is modified when you "Log Off" of our services.
  • Estimate our audience size. Each browser accessing goguenarch.com is given a unique cookie which is then used to determine the extent of repeat usage, usage by a registered user versus by an unregistered user, and, in the future, to help target advertisements based on user interests and behavior.
  • Measure certain traffic patterns, which areas of the site you have visited, and your visiting patterns in the aggregate. We use this research to understand how our users’ habits are similar or different from one another so that we can make each new experience on goguenarch.com a better one. We may use this information to better personalize the content, banners, and promotions that you and other users will see on our sites.

I’d rather not have cookies stored on my computer. Is there any way to work around them?

Yes, you do have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser preferences you can choose to accept all cookies, be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies, however, you will be unable to use those goguenarch.com services that require registration in order to participate. 

What else should I know about my privacy?

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example on message boards, through email, or in chat areas - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

As goguenarch.com expands its offerings, we will update our privacy policy to address these. Please check this page on a regular basis for updates to this privacy policy.

Ultimately, you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and your profile. Please be careful and responsible whenever you’re online.
