Welcome to the Prime Visibility™ (“Prime Visibility,” "we" or "us") website at www.HowToSEO.com (the "Website" or “Service”).

It is important that our users are fully informed about the use of their personal information. Prime Visibility™ believes in 100% permission-based marketing. For each user, our web server automatically recognizes the user’s domain name and IP address, but not the e-mail address (unless supplied by a user to obtain a membership). All users of our Website may browse selected portions of the Website without entering any personal information.

We may also collect credit/debit card information for payment and/or age verification purposes.
Use of Information Obtained by Prime Visibility™
The information that you submit to Prime Visibility™ remains your property, but by submitting the information to Prime Visibility™ you grant us the right to use such information for marketing purposes including, but not limited to, sharing such information with third parties. Prime Visibility™ may also use such information to directly market certain offers to you including, without limitation, via e-mail marketing, telemarketing, direct mail and text messaging, to monitor compliance with our Terms and Conditions and for content improvement and feedback purposes.

These businesses may include, but are not limited to: (a) providers of online, e-mail and direct mail marketing services and applications including, without limitation, lookup and reference, data enhancement, suppression and validation; and (b) providers of telemarketing services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a California state resident you may opt-out from having your personal information transferred to third parties for use is such third parties' direct marketing efforts by sending a written e-mail request to info@HowToSEO.com where California residents opt-out from permitting their personal information to be shared, such individuals may still receive selected offers directly from Prime Visibility™, in accordance with the law. In addition, Prime Visibility™ reserves the right to release user information: (a) in the event that we believe that the Website is being or has been used in violation of the Terms and Conditions or to commit unlawful acts; (b) if the information is subpoenaed; or (c) if Prime Visibility™ is sold or acquired. Moreover, you hereby consent to disclosure of any record or communication to any third party when Prime Visibility™, in its sole discretion, determines the disclosure to be appropriate including, without limitation, sharing your e-mail address with other third parties for suppression purposes in compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, as amended from time to time.
In addition, you agree that by ordering our eBook, such act constitutes a purchase, inquiry and/or application for purposes of the Amended Telemarketing Sales Rule, 16 CFR §310 et seq. (the "Rule"). Notwithstanding that your telephone number may be listed on the Federal Trade Commission's Do-Not-Call List, Prime Visibility™ retains the right to contact you via telemarketing in accordance with the Rule. Moreover, by registering with, or requesting information from, a third-party advertiser at or through the Website, such action shall constitute an inquiry and/or application with the respective third-party advertiser for purposes of the Rule and you may be contacted via e-mail, direct mail and/or telemarketing by such third-party advertiser in accordance with the Rule.
To the extent that user credit card-specific information is collected by Prime Visibility™ and any of its affiliates and/or subsidiaries, said information will be kept in confidence and will not be shared with any third parties (other than consumer credit agencies) without your prior informed consent, except to charge you for Recipes or paid memberships purchased at the Website. In addition, by submitting your credit card information to us, you authorize Prime Visibility™ to periodically verify that your credit card account continues to be a valid and active one by various methods including, without limitation, charging and, thereafter immediately crediting, a small sum to the card. Such verification may be conducted through a third party and, in that case, Prime Visibility™ will share your specific credit card information with this third party for verification purposes. Apart from the foregoing uses, Prime Visibility™ and its affiliates and/or subsidiaries reserve the right to share with third parties the fact that they have credit card information on file for specific users but they will not share the specific credit card information with third parties without the user's prior authorization.
