ChinaPulse.com respects your right to privacy. Your name, email address, postal code and any other identifying information that you give us will not be revealed to any of the clients who rent our lists. Should we ever change our policy, you will be given the chance to remove yourself from our lists. However if you send us notices, information, or emails via our “Contact Us” page, we may use some or all of the personal and corporate data you include in future articles or promotional materials for the website and company. In addition, when you use the “Send Email To a Friend” link, or other such links on our site, we do have access to both the sender and recipient email addresses, which we may share with our network of website partners.
We hate spamming, and we know that you do, too. When you sign up for our ChinaPulse.com mailing list, you will receive commercial email messages only about those topical categories that you have selected. Before any mailing goes out, our staff members personally screen each marketer’s message to make sure that it’s relevant to the list’s topic.
We respect and are committed to protecting your privacy. That is why we have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy lets you know how your personal information is processed and used. We promise that we will take steps to use your personal information only in ways that are compatible with this Privacy Policy. The following policies are only in effect for the Web pages, newsletters, discussion lists and opt-in announcement lists owned and operated by ChinaPulse.com. The following discloses our Privacy Policy.
What information are you collecting and how are you collecting it?
Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers, that serve as that computer’s “Internet Protocol” IP address. When a visitor requests a page from any Web site within the ChinaPulse.com site, our Web servers automatically recognize that visitor’s domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site. We use this information to examine our traffic in aggregate, but do not collect and evaluate this information for individuals. Our Web servers do not record e-mail addresses of the visitors.
What are cookies?
From time to time, ChinaPulse.com or its advertisers may send a “cookie” to your computer. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. A cookie can’t read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Cookies do not damage your system.
We use cookies to identify which areas of ChinaPulse.com’s sites you have visited or customized, so the next time you visit, those pages may be readily accessible. Our advertisers may also use cookies to ascertain how many times you’ve seen an advertisement. We and our advertisers may use this information to better personalize the content, banners, and promotions that you see on our Sites.
You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your browser. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies, or allow your browser to show you when a cookie is being sent. If you choose not to accept these cookies, your experience at our site and other Web sites may be diminished and some features may not work as intended.
What other information do you request?
We may also request your e-mail address or mailing address for the purposes of conducting a survey or to provide additional services (for example, subscriptions to e-mail newsletters, announcement lists or information about seminars) Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will clearly indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the information is requested.
If you choose to purchase something online, we need to know your name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit card number, and expiration date. This allows us to process and fulfill your order and to notify you of your order status. This information may also be used by us to notify you of related product and services.
Will you disclose the information you collect to outside third parties?
ChinaPulse.com will disclose personal information when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:
1) Conform to the edicts of the law or comply with a legal process served on ChinaPulse.com’s sites,
2) Protect and defend the rights or property of the ChinaPulse.com’s network of sites, or visitors to ChinaPulse.com,
3) Identify persons who may be violating the law, the legal notice, or the rights of third parties,
4) Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities.
5) In the case of information related to your cellular or mobile phone number, we will provide this information to third-parties in order for them to provide you with information you specifically request from our site. ChinaPulse.com is not liable now or in the future for any claims arising out of the distribution of your number(s) after we provide these to a third-party. ChinaPulse.com does its best to screen all third-parties, but is not liable for any misuse of your data once we give it to a third-party.

Anti-Spam Policy
Spam is not merely annoying: it is also a serious drain on the resources of ISPs, other organizations, and Internet users. Sending Spam mail may seem like a cheap and convenient way to amplify marketing efforts, yet honest businesses rarely employ this questionable marketing tool. Firstly, nobody wishes to receive unsolicited junk mail. Secondly, it is considered both an annoyance and an intrusion of privacy. Thirdly, each sent e-mail message contributes to Internet traffic and uses up bandwidth. An e-mail message does not reach its recipient instantaneously; instead, it is relayed by any number of systems en route until it reaches its final destination.
ChinaPulse.com is committed to preventing unsolicited email (a.k.a. “Spam”).
Every email message that is sent from ChinaPulse.com software includes an email link to unsubscribe from the list that originated the message. You can visit this page to get more information about how easy it is to unsubscribe.
Our software and services verify that an “unsubscribe link” is included in every outgoing message which corresponds to the recipient’s email address. If the email message in question does NOT have an unsubscribe link, it did not originate from ChinaPulse.com or our email list management supplier. You can verify this by viewing the detailed header information in the message and doing a reverse DNS look up.
