ManualsOnline.com ("ManualsOnline") is committed to protecting our users' privacy. This privacy policy is designed to inform users of ManualsOnline (the "Site", defined more fully below) about how ManualsOnline gathers and uses non-personally identifying and member information, and in what circumstances ManualsOnline will disclose such information.

Key Definitions

In this Privacy Policy, we use the following key definitions. Other terms are defined in the body of the policy.

"Click stream Data" means the information that ManualsOnline of its affiliates collects through cookies, log files, beacons and clear GIFs, as described below.

"Content Provider" means a third party that owns a user manual or other document to which OwnerIQ links to or displays on the Sites.

"Sites" include subdomains of www.manualsonline.com.

"User" or "User" means any person viewing any page of the Sites.

"Third Party Content" means the user manuals and other documents available through the Sites and owned by Content Providers. This Privacy Policy Does Not Apply to Third Party Websites.

The Sites host thousands of user manuals and other product support documentation. Some Third Party Content made available through the Sites is maintained on the website of the Content Provider, and not on ManualsOnline. This means that when you click through to that Third Party Content, you will be leaving ManualsOnline. It will be clear to you when this happens, as the look and feel of your web page will change, and the URL will no longer refer to ManualsOnline. This Privacy Policy does not govern other links or the use and disclosure of any information you choose to disclose to the Content Provider on the Content Provider site.

What Information Do We Collect?

Member Information: By registering as a Member ("Member"), ManualsOnline collects browsing information on our website and makes inferences about products that you may own or are interested in. Our primary goal in such information is to provide you with the best and most useful content and services, and to offer you opportunities to obtain other products and services from our partners.

Cookies: When you view the Site, a small file called a cookie is placed on your hard drive. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. (However, by not accepting cookies, some of our web pages may not display properly or you may not be permitted to access certain information.) ManualsOnline uses cookies to obtain device-identifiable information such as the number of visits to the Site that a certain device has made, the movement of the user through the Site, and the searches that the device conducts on the Site. Such cookies are not tied to personal information on the site. This Site also contains cookies from other interest-based advertising companies.

Clear GIFs & Servers: We use electronic images known as "clear GIFs" - sometimes called "transparent GIFs", "Web bugs", "pixel tags" or "beacons" - that allow us and our partners, including third party ad networks and exchanges to track general user traffic patterns. ManualsOnline also automatically receives and records information from our servers and from your browser, including your IP address, the time, and information about the page you requested. This information is included in Click Stream Data.  The information we gather through the use of tracking technologies is not tied with any personally identified information about you.

Supplementary Information: ManualsOnline may supplement Member details with publicly available information about a Member's demographics. For example, if a Member is browsing from a device with a particular IP address, we may obtain information giving representative geographic information about IP addresses in the same general area. This information is called "Supplementary Information".

How Do We Use the Information We Collect?

Member Information: ManualOnline collects member information supplied by visitors who browse the website. The information lets us better tailor our content to visitor interests and helps our advertisers better understand the audience they are reaching. We use Member details and Supplementary Information in aggregated form to understand our Member base and to market our services to our customers. User access to the Sites is free and is supported by paid content and sponsorships from our advertisers.

Clear GIFs & Servers: We use these tracking technologies for a variety of purposes, including:
• Keeping count of return visits to our site or our partners' sites
• Accumulating and reporting pseudonymous, aggregate, statistical information on Web site and content usage to our partners and customers
• Determining which features visitors like best to help us improve our content and site, personalize your user experience, and measure overall site effectiveness
• Displaying the most appropriate advertising or content based on your interests.

We may provide summary reports to our Content Providers, based on our analysis of Click stream Data. The type of information included in a summary report is "3,000 people looked at your information this week, and of those people 60% clicked through to download a user manual." This aggregated information is non-personally identifying and does not disclose to the Content Providers any Member Details about the individual users who saw or clicked on user manuals.

Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, OwnerIQ will not disclose personal information to any third parties for promotional purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, OwnerIQ may at any time disclose Member Details and any other information collected to third parties if we are required to do so by law, warrant, subpoena, regulation or court order.
