C. INFORMATION PROVIDER COLLECTS AND HOW PROVIDER USES IT
Provider collects certain information from and about its Members three ways: directly from Provider Web Server logs, the Member, and with Cookies.
a. Web Server Logs.
When Members visit the Provider Website and/or Provider Internet Service, Provider may track information to administer the Provider Website and/or Provider Internet Services and analyze the usage. Some examples of information that may be tracked include:
• Member Internet protocol address.
• The kind of browser or computer Member uses.
• Number of links Member click within the site.
• State or country from which Member accessed the site.
• Date and time of Member visit.
• Name of Member Internet service provider.
• Web page Member linked to our site from.
• Pages Member viewed on the site.
b. Use of Cookies
Provider may use cookies to personalize or enhance Member’s user experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on Member’s hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to Member’s computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to Member, and can only be read by a Web Server in the domain that issued the cookie to Member.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save Member time. For example, if Member personalizes a web page, or navigates within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall Member specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving Member preferences and login information as well as providing personalized functionality.
Provider reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with partner companies, but does not allow other companies to place cookies on our Provider Website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as merging into Provider Website a site that relies on third-party cookies).
Members have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but Member can usually modify Member’s browser setting to decline cookies. If Member rejects cookies by changing Member’s browser settings then be aware that this may disable some of the functionality on our Provider Website.
c. Personal Information Users
Visitors to Provider’s Website and/or Provider Internet Service may have the ability to register to purchase services. When Member registers, Provider will request some personal information such as name, address, email, telephone number or facsimile number, account number and other relevant information. If Member is purchasing a service, Provider will request financial information. Any financial information collected is used only to bill Member for the services Member purchased. If Member purchases by credit card, this information may be forwarded to Member’s credit card provider. For other types of registrations, we will ask for the relevant information. Member may also be asked to disclose personal information to us so that Provider can provide assistance and information to Member. For example, such data may be warranted in order to provide online technical support and troubleshooting.
Provider will not disclose personally identifiable information collected from Members to third parties without Member permission except to the extent necessary including:
– To fulfill Member service requests for services.
– To protect Provider from liability,
– To respond to legal process or comply with law, or
– In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of Provider.
D. USE OF WEB BEACONS OR GIF FILES
Provider’s Website and/or provider Internet Services may contain electronic images known as web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow Provider to count Members who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. Provider may include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email communications. These web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie on Member’s computer. This allows the service provider to recognize Member’s computer each time Member visits certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views, which in turn enables Provider and our service providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring Member to Provider’s Web Site and/or Provider’s Internet Services and how Member uses the site. Provider prohibits web beacons from being used to collect or access Member’s personal information.
E. CHANGES TO THIS STATEMENT
Provider has the discretion to occasionally update this Privacy Statement. When Provider does, Provider will also revise the “updated” date at the top of Provider’s Terms and Conditions, Copyright and Privacy Statement. Provider encourages Member to periodically review this Privacy Statement to stay informed about how Provider is helping to protect the personal information Provider collects. Member’s continued use of the service constitutes Member’s agreement to this Privacy Statement and any updates.
