Privacy Information
for Acadiaville.ca
The Acadiaville,ca operator of this Website, recognizes the confidentiality of
information that may be disclosed by members in registering or making
purchases from our Website and we are committed to protecting your
privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and
dissemination practices for this Website.
The specifics of our use of personal information are best described in
the answers to the following Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you ask for personal information from your members?
Yes. We ask for your name, e-mail address, and first, last name. This is
a free site, there are no ecommerce charges or purchases.
How do you use my personal information?
The primary use of your personal information, is to efficiently provide
you with personalized, relevant information.
In distributing advertiser or sponsor messages, the advertiser is not
given access to individual account information. We do not sell, rent or
otherwise distribute the personal information you provide us to these
advertisers for their use. Advertisers simply provide the advertising
message and we then display the ad to appropriate users.
Will you disclose any of my personal information to third
parties?
We will not disclose your personal information provided in connection
with membership registration, except as described in this Privacy
Statement or as may be required by law, or to protect our rights or
property.
Under protection of confidentiality agreements, we use third party
processors in some cases to help us provide services and manage our
Websites and relationships with you. These may include purchase and
order fulfillment, credit card processing, removing duplicate
information from lists, providing marketing assistance and providing
other customer services. Third-party processors and providers will be
given access only to that information needed to perform their support
functions, and are prohibited from using it for other purposes.
As our business continues to grow, we might buy or sell subsidiaries or
business units. In these transactions, customer information is often one
of the transferred assets, remaining subject to promises made in
existing privacy statements. Also, in the event that The Generations
Network, Inc., or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer
information will, as a matter of course, be one of the transferred
assets.
What about purchases from advertisers or other linked Websites?
If you click away from Acadiaville.ca to visit the Website of any third
party advertiser or sponsor, you may be asked for your credit card or
other personal information in order to purchase or use products and
services offered. These companies have their own privacy and data
collection practices. We have no responsibility or liability for these
independent policies. You should therefore review their privacy policies
carefully if you have concerns about how your information may be used.
Will you use my information for direct mailings?
We will send electronic mail or other mail to you, for the purpose of
informing you of changes or additions to Acadiaville.ca, or of any
Acadiaville.ca . Inc. related products and services. If you do not want
to receive such mailings, you may opt out at any time by using the
unsubscribe link listed in the e-mail or by amending your "newsletter
and email preferences" in the "My Account" section of
the site.
May I refuse to provide personal information to you or to accept
advertising?
Visitors may access Acadiaville.ca free services by providing a first
name, last name, and e-mail address or other information that we may
deem appropriate to that purpose. Because the Acadiaville.ca Website is
partially advertiser supported, you may not "turn off" the advertising
that appears on Ancestry.com pages, but you may opt to be excluded from
any e-mail advertising.
Do you use "IP Addresses" and cookies?
IP Addresses:
We do use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and
to administer our Website. Your IP address is also used to gather broad
demographic information such as geographic distribution of our members

services appropriate to your place of residence.

personally identifiable information. You can also enhance your public
