This Privacy Policy describes the information we collect from you when you
visit our Website (“Website”), how we use that information, and under what
circumstances we disclose it. It will also give you more information about
how to manage the personal information that you provide to us through the
Website. This Privacy Policy applies only to information you provide to us
online while visiting or using our Website or using our Materials. It does
not apply to information we have obtained or may obtain offline through
other traditional means. The Privacy Policy should be read in conjunction
with the Terms and Conditions located on the Website
1. The Information We Collect.
When you use our Website, we receive and collect certain information. The
information that we receive and collect depends on what you do when you
visit our Website.
* Automatically Collected Information.
Some information is automatically received and sometimes collected from you
when you visit our Website. This information may include some or all of the
following items: the name of the domain and host from which you access the
Internet, including the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer you
are using and the IP address of your Internet Service Provider; the type and
version of Internet browser software you use and your operating system; the
date and time you access our site, the length of your stay and the specific
pages, images, video or forms that you access while visiting the site; the
Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to our
Website, and if applicable, the search engine that referred you and any
search strings or phrases that you entered into the search engine to find
this site; and demographic information concerning the country of origin of
your computer and the language(s) used by it.
We use this information to monitor the usage of our Website, assess its
performance, ensure technological compatibility with your computer, and
understand the relative importance of the information provided on our
Website. We may also use this data to conduct statistical analyses on
visitors’ usage patterns and other aggregated data..
* Information Collected via Cookies
“Cookies” are small files or records that are placed on your computer’s hard
drive to distinguish you from other visitors to the Website. The use of
cookies is a standard practice among websites to collect or track
information about your activities while using the website. A cookie may
enable the website owner to track how a visitor navigates through its
website and the areas in which they show interest. This is similar to a
traffic report: it tracks trends and behaviors, but does not identify
individuals. Information gathered may include date and time of visits, pages
viewed, time spent at the site, and the website visited just before and just
after the Website.
Cookies can be set to expire: (1) on a specified date; (2) after a specific
period of time; (3) when a transaction has been completed; or (4) when a
user turns off his/her Internet browser. A cookie that is erased from memory
when a visitor’s Internet browser closes is called a “session” cookie.
Cookies that expire based on a time set by the Web server are called
“persistent” cookies.
The Website uses “persistent cookies.” Most people do not know that cookies
are being placed on their computers when they visit the Website or most
websites because browsers are typically set to accept cookies. You can
choose to have your browser warn you every time a cookie is being sent to
you or you can turn off cookie placements. If you refuse cookies, you may
not be able to browse certain areas of the Website.
* Information Collected Using Pixel Tags or Clear GIFs.
Pixel Tags or Clear GIFs, also known as Web Beacons or Web Bugs, are
transparent graphical images placed on a website. We use these items on its
Website for reasons similar to those described above in the Cookies section.
* Information You Actively Submit.
For most of the browsing on our Website, we neither require nor collect
“User Information.” User Information is information that could personally
identify you, for example, your name, address(es), phone number(s), e-mail
address, and credit card information. You can browse the Website and take as
much time as you want to review our services without having to submit such
User Information. In the following instances, however, we do need you to
actively submit certain User Information:
(1) when you want to contact us via e-mail or website submission
or
(2) when you purchase services from our Website. E-mail or other forms of
electronic communication, including website submission, are not secure
and/or confidential means of communication.
While we attempts to prevent unauthorized access to your User Information,
or other information you submit, such access may occur. The User Information
and credit card information you provide to make purchases from us is secured
during transmission using industry standard e-commerce security technology
such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology. We use SSL
technology to prevent such information from being intercepted and read as it
is transmitted over the Internet. Once this User Information is received by
us and/or its third party processing merchants, it is stored in unencrypted
format.
2. Personal Information About Children.
The Website is targeted entirely for use by adults. We do not market to or
create special areas for use by children. Accordingly, we do not knowingly
collect age identifying information, nor do we knowingly collect any
personal information from children under the age of 13 years. In the event
that we discover that a child under the age of 13 has provided personally
identifiable information to us, in accordance with the Children’s Online
Privacy Protection Act (please see the Federal Trade Commission’s website at
www.ftc.gov/kidzprivacy for more information about this Act), we will delete
the child’s personally identifiable information from our files to the extent
technologically possible.
3. E-Mail Communications.
When you send an e-mail to us, or provide your e-mail address to us, you are
communicating with us electronically and consent to receive communication
from us electronically. We may retain the content of the e-mail, your e-mail
address, and our response in order to service your needs. We may use the
data that you provide to send you e-mail or correspondence via other means.
If you no longer wish to receive marketing e-mail from us, you may
unsubscribe by doing any one of the following actions:
a. Send an e-mail with your request and current contact information to
privacy@theecalling.com;
b. Send a request in writing with your current contact information to:
Morningsoft Ventures
Attn: General Counsel
PO Box 6332
Lynnwood, Washington 98036
If you send an e-mail or letter request, please be sure to include your full
name, address, phone number and e-mail address and indicate specifically
what type of marketing communication(s) (e.g., e-mail, direct mail, and/or
phone) you wish to receive or stop receiving. This will ensure we identify
you correctly in our systems and accurately process your request.
We will take appropriate steps to implement your request to opt-out of
receiving marketing communications. Please note that due to production,
mailing and system timelines, in order to remove you from our marketing
lists, it may take up to: 10 business days for e-mails or 30 calendar days
for mail. Until that change takes effect, you may still receive marketing
communications from us.
Also, please note that even though you may have opted-out of receiving
marketing communications, you may still receive business-related
communications. Please be aware that opting-out of certain third party use
may prevent us from providing certain services or products that you request.
4. How We Use and Share User Information.
We may sell or share User Information to third parties outside of us and our
subsidiaries. We may also share your personally identifiable information
with third parties in the following cases listed below:
a. User Information is subject to disclosure in response to judicial or
other governmental subpoenas, warrants and court orders served on us in
accordance with their terms, as otherwise required by applicable law, or in
response to requests by law enforcement;
b. User Information is subject to disclosure to protect our rights or
property, protect its legitimate business interests, to enforce the
provisions of our Privacy Statement and Terms and Conditions, and/or to
prevent harm to you or others;
c. User Information may be disclosed to process credit card transactions. In
this case these transactions are handled by established third party banking,
processing agents and distribution institutions. They receive the
information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment
information and to process your order. In addition, we may disclose User
Information to third parties to verify the authenticity of any financial
transaction involving us or our subsidiaries.
d. User Information may be disclosed and transferred if us or our business
is sold or offered for sale to another company or person(s), if a petition
for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Laws is filed by or against
us, or if we become subject to an order of appointment of a trustee or
receiver.
5. Linking to Third-Party Websites.
When you click on links on our Website that take you to third-party
websites, you will be subject to the third parties’ privacy policies. While
we support the protection of privacy on the Internet, we cannot be
responsible for the actions of any third-party websites. We encourage you to
read the posted privacy statement of any and every website you visit,
whether you are linking from the Website or browsing on your own.
6. Access to and Managing Your User Information.
We believe it is important for you to be able to find out what personally
identifiable information you have provided to us through the Website. If you
have provided us with personally identifiable information, you can contact
us to request that we provide you with the personally identifiable
information we have in our records about you. We reserve the right to limit
the number of times such a request can be made and to charge you for
responding to such requests if this process is misused or abused.

information you may have provided that we have in our records about you is
inaccurate, incomplete, or incompatible with the purposes for which it was
provided or subsequently authorized by you, please notify us using the
contact information provided below. To inquire about your personally
identifiable or sensitive information, and to correct, amend, or delete such

7. What You Need to Do to Protect Your Personally Identifiable Information.
You have several options when deciding how you can best protect your User
Information. One option is simply not to volunteer it. As stated above, this
approach would allow you to still visit our website – although it will
prevent you, for example, from ordering merchandise on-line or providing us
with your comments or questions. The Federal Trade Commission’s website,
www.ftc.gov, also offers useful information about how to protect personally
identifiable information provided to a website.
8. What to Do About Suspected Violations of This Privacy Statement.
If at any time you believe we have not adhered to the policies and
principles set forth in this Privacy Statement, please notify us using the

efforts to promptly respond to your concerns.
9. Changes to Privacy Policies.
If we change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on our website
so you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, how
we protect it and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If we
make material changes, we will also post a notice on our home page, which
notice will run for seven (7) consecutive calendar days following the
effective date of the modified privacy statement. Unless we clearly express
otherwise, we will use information in accordance with the Privacy Policy
under which the information was collected. YOU ARE HEREBY ADVISED THAT YOUR
CONTINUED USE OF OUR WEBSITE CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF ANY AMENDMENTS
TO AND THE MOST RECENT VERSION OF THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT.
