Privacy Policy for the NZPAGES Network
Mental, LLC respects the privacy of our users. We have created this policy in order to demonstrate our privacy commitment to our users. By coming to a Mental site, you are agreeing to and accepting this Privacy Policy as well as the terms and conditions or other end user agreement for that site.

  • We will not distribute information that identifies you individually or reveals your identity ("Identifying Information") unless you give your prior approval in response to a request made by Mental or unless distribution of this information is permitted under this Privacy Policy. Your electronic approval will qualify as your consent for this purpose.
  • We will not make Identifying Information available publicly without the prior written or electronic consent of the individual identified unless (a) the information is already publicly available; (b) required by law, court order, or as requested by other government or law enforcement authority; or (c) the information is posted by the user to an on-line bulletin board, chat room, news groups, or other public forum.
  • We may collect and use information about you and your use of the Mental sites, including Identifying Information, for our own internal purposes such as, for example, analyzing usage of the Mental sites in order to improve them.
  • We may use and/or distribute information about you and your use of the Mental sites in forms that do not identify you individually or reveal your identity.
  • Advertisements, promotional offers, promotional emails, "free gifts," and links, for example, on the Mental sites or sent via email or other means from Mental may ask for Identifying Information from you. If you provide this information, your Identifying Information may be provided (either directly from you or by Mental) to the advertiser or web site or company making the offer or providing the gift. You may opt-out regarding how Identifying Information collected from you may be used or distributed when provided to Mental at a Mental site by either following the applicable instructions and links on the site, in the email or other document, or by sending an email to the Mental site Web Master at info@mental.co.nz or as otherwise posted on the Mental sites. To ensure that your opt-out email is effective, you must include the words "opt-out" and "Identifying Information" in the subject field of such email.
  • Of course, if you make a purchase by credit card or otherwise provide your credit card information, the relevant data will be transmitted to Mental's vendor providing such payment processing service. Similarly, if you are using a co-branded site of Mental and at least one other third party (indicated by the inclusion of another party's name or product/service name either in the URL or site or by the inclusion of a third party's(ies') logos or trademarks in the site), your Identifying Information may be used and/or distributed by Mental pursuant to this Privacy Policy and by the other party(ies) pursuant to this Policy and/or their applicable policy(ies).
  • Mental may send users, via email or other means, information relating to Mental sites and/or information on specials, new products and/or promotions from our marketing partners/colleagues. The information described in these messages is intended to be of high interest or value to our users. To choose not to receive such messages, a user can simply click or go to a URL link located in every email or other message containing this kind of information, which will remove the user from future mailings. Or, for certain sites a user may edit his/her personal account information, which contains an option on receiving special offers, at any time by clicking the appropriate link on the applicable Mental site.
  • In the course of our business, Mental might buy or sell sites or assets. In these kinds of transactions, customer information (such as Identifying Information) is usually one of the transferred business assets. In the event that Mental, its parent, subsidiaries, or affiliates is acquired, merged, or otherwise combined with another party, customer information (such as Identifying Information) will be one of the transferred assets.
  • Mental may use other companies and persons to perform certain functions for us. These functions might include, for example, processing credit card payments, providing customer service, and sending email. These other companies and persons may have access to customer information (such as Identifying Information) that's needed to perform their functions, but they are not authorized to use it for any other purposes. In addition, we may share information with other affiliated companies and joint ventures, for example, but we ask those companies to honor the standards of this Privacy Policy.

In order to provide our users with a more complete understanding of how the Mental sites collect and use information from our users, we have provided the following information:

Internet Protocol (IP) Address
The Mental sites log IP addresses for systems administration, diagnostic, and site tracking purposes, and to report aggregate information to advertisers. The Mental sites do not link IP addresses to information identifying users individually.

Cookies
The Mental sites use files called "cookies" to store usernames, passwords, and other user preferences so that users don't have to re-enter this information each time they use a particular Mental site. You should be aware that advertisers serving ads on the Mental sites may use their own cookies.

Information Collection and Opt-Out
The Mental sites' registration forms ask users to enter contact information (like their email address), general information (like their city, state), and demographic information (like their zip code, age, or income level). The forms also require unique identifiers (username and password) so that users can be verified when they access the Mental sites. The contact information primarily is used to send users daily emails and other information they have requested and other information as stated in this Privacy Policy. Users may opt out of receiving future email updates by clicking on or going to the applicable link in any email or other document and following the instructions. The demographic information is used among other things, to tailor users' experiences at the Mental sites, distribute and show you content that we think you might be interested in, and display site content according to your preferences.

In addition, advertisers or web sites that have links on the Mental sites may collect personally identifiable information about you. The privacy and information practices of those advertisers or web sites linked to the Mental sites are not covered by this Privacy Policy.
