Your Privacy is Important to Us
1.0
Applicability.
We value our
relationship with you and respect your right to privacy. Our Privacy
Policy ("Privacy Policy") covers Preveda’s treatment of information that
we collect and maintain about you in connection with your use of the
Website and your use of our products and services. This policy does not
apply to the practices of companies that Preveda does not own or control
or to individuals whom Preveda does not employ or manage, including
operators of sites you may link to or from the Website or from which you
link to the Website. By using the Services and/or accessing our
Website, you are acknowledging that you have read and understood this
Privacy Policy and consent to the practices described herein.
In addition, if you register as a user of any of the features of our
Website (a “Subscriber”), during the registration process (and from time
to time as we may require) you may be prompted to click an “I Accept,”
“Submit” or similar button, which further confirms your consent to the
practices described in this Privacy Policy.
2.0 Scope of Policy
This Privacy
Policy applies only to information you provide to us online or that we
obtain in connection with your use of the Website (or any service
offered through the Website) or through any websites that we operate or
acquire. It does not apply to information obtained offline or through
other non-electronic means.
3.0 What
Information We Collect and Use
Preveda
reserves the right to use and control the information collected on the
Website. We will not share this information with any third party, other
than as disclosed in this Privacy Policy. Preveda collects information
from users at different points on our Website and through our software,
as follows:
3.1. Registration: In order to subscribe to our products
and services, we require that you complete a registration form. This
form may ask for contact information, such as name, address, email
address, telephone number, company name, fax number and other basic
contact information (“Registration Information”). After submitting your
Registration Information, you can view and modify this information
within the self-maintenance area of the Website. You agree to notify us
of any change to your billing address within thirty (30) days of such
change.
3.2. Orders and Requests: When you subscribe to an Preveda product or
service, we request the appropriate billing information on our order
form. This information includes your credit card number, expiration date
and billing address (“Order Information”). Order Information is kept
with your Registration Information in a database and will be retained
for future purchases. You may also provide personal information to
us when you voluntarily communicate with us, such as for requesting
information or submitting an application for employment. We may
retain such information for use and disclosure consistent with this
Privacy Policy.
3.3. Software: Registration of our software requires a digital signature
and periodic product code verification through an Internet connection.
Registration Information is kept in a database to verify proper usage of
the software module(s).
3.4. Other: Preveda may automatically receive and record information in
our server logs from your browser, including your IP address (the
Internet address of your PC), your computer’s name, the type and version
of your web browser, referrer addresses and other generally-accepted log
information. We may also record page views (hit counts) and other
general statistical and tracking information, which will be aggregated
with that of other users in order to understand how our Website is being
used.
3.5. Cookies: A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes
unique, but anonymous, code, which is sent to your browser from a
website’s computers and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies
can be used to provide you with a tailored user experience and to make
it easier for you to use the Website upon a future visit. We will also
use cookies to recognize you when you return to our Website. Most web
browsers are set to accept cookies by default, though you can manually
disable the cookies feature of your browser. You should review the
online documentation of your browser or consult with the provider of
your browser for instructions on how to disable cookies. Please note
that if you disable cookies on your computer, some parts of the Website
may not function properly.
3.6. Referrers: A “referrer” is the information passed along by a web
browser that references the web URL you linked from and is automatically
collected by our web server. This information is collected and used by
Preveda to understand the websites referring traffic to our Website and
to present appropriate content to our potential customers. Preveda
tabulates referrer information on an aggregate basis to identify trends
and traffic patterns.
3.7. Partners: Preveda may enter into agreements with other companies
that market software or services that either function similarly to our
software or that enhance or extend the Website’s functionality. Some of
these may be third party products that may utilize components of
Preveda’s software. Under the terms of these agreements, we may be
required to collect information about your sessions and your use of
these third party products and share this information with these third
parties.
4.0 What
We Do with Information We Collect and Use
In general,
except as provided in this policy, we will not disclose your personally
identifiable information to unaffiliated third parties without your
express consent or allowing you to decline to permit the disclosure.
There are, however, some limited circumstances in which we may need to
disclose personally identifiable information about a user without
express consent, including, but not limited to, the circumstances set
forth below:
4.1. Preveda Website Vendors: We may employ other companies to perform
functions on our behalf, such as fulfilling orders, providing customer
service, sending print and electronic mail, processing credit card
payments, or other functions necessary to our business. In order to
allow these companies to perform their obligations, we may need to share
your personally identifiable information with them. However, we will
provide these companies with only that information necessary to perform
their functions on our behalf, and we will not allow them to use your
personally identifiable information for any other purpose.
4.2. Resellers: Preveda may from time to time enter into agreements with
companies that resell Preveda’s products or services, either on our
behalf, or on their own behalf on a private labeled basis and/or on a
co-branded basis. Under the terms of these agreements, we may be
required, and therefore we reserve the right, to share your personally
identifiable information with such resellers. Once your personally
identifiable information is provided to such resellers, it will no
longer be covered by this privacy policy. In those instances, your
personally identifiable information will be governed by the privacy
policy of the resellers to whom it is provided. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Preveda will not share your Order Information with any
reseller that is not billing you directly for the re-marketed, private
labeled and/or co-branded Preveda services to which you subscribe.
4.3. Preveda Publishers and Merchants: Preveda reserves the right to
provide to publishers and other merchants for whom Preveda sells or
distributes products or services any personally identifiable information
as is necessary to fulfill any requests you may make for their products
or services. In addition, merchants of the products you purchase or to
which you subscribe through the Website may request additional
personally identifiable information from you. Preveda will provide the
merchants of such products the information you supply in response to
those requests and, following such disclosure by Preveda, your
personally identifiable information will no longer be covered by this
policy. In those instances, your personally identifiable information is
governed by the privacy policy of the merchants whose products you have
purchased or to which you have subscribed.
4.4. Protection of Rights: We may reveal your personally identifiable
information to attorneys, private investigator organizations or law
enforcement agencies if we believe that you have harmed or interfered
with (or will imminently harm or interfere) other Website users or
anyone else or violating (either intentionally or unintentionally) our
Terms and Conditions of Use or infringing any of Preveda’s legal rights,
or harming the legal rights, property, or health or safety of any other
person.
4.5. Required by Law: Preveda will reveal your personally identifiable
information, to the extent we reasonably believe we are required to do
so by law. If we receive legal process calling for the disclosure of any
of your personally identifiable information we will attempt to notify
you via the email address you supplied during registration within a
reasonable amount of time before we respond to the request, unless such
notification is not permitted.
4.6. Asset Transfers: Preveda shall be entitled to transfer to a third
party information it maintains, including any personally identifiable
information, in connection with a transaction or proceeding involving a
transfer of some or all of the assets relating to the Websites or a
business in connection with which such information is maintained.
5.0
Changing or Removing Personal Information; Opting Out
To ensure that
you have appropriate control over your personally identifiable
information, you can access your account (after supplying your user name
and password) in the Self-Maintenance area of our Website to update
and/or correct the information you have previously submitted.
In addition, we provide you with the ability to decline -- or “opt-out
of” -- certain mailings and other materials we may offer. For these
materials, you will be able to specify whether you wish to opt-out by
following directions provided in the Self-Maintenance area, as further
detailed in Section 6.0 (Communications to out Users) of our Privacy
Policy, below.
Finally,
if you request, we will remove your name and other personally
identifiable information from our active databases. Please understand,
however, that it may be impossible to remove this information
completely, due to backups and records of deletions. If you wish to
remove your name and other personally identifiable information from our
database, please create an email with the term “Unsubscribe” in the
subject line, and send the email to the address listed in Section 12.0
of this Privacy Policy. As an alternative, you may write to us with your
request, at the mailing address set forth in Section 12.0. You will be
removed from our databases generally within ten business days of our
receipt of your request. You may also request to review or amend any
personal information that we maintain about you, by sending a written
request to the same address, subject to our verification of your
identity acceptance of any proposed revision.
6.0
Communications to our Users
6.1. Preveda: Preveda sends emails and/or postal mailings to new
subscribers and to provide to existing subscribers information regarding
their specific Preveda products. Periodically, we will send news and
information to subscribers and other parties who have expressed interest
in the Website and its products. You can opt out of receiving these
promotional communications through the Self-Maintenance area of our
Website. For so long as you use our products and services or otherwise
maintain a business relationship with Preveda, however, you may not opt
out of receiving communications from us relating specifically to those
products and services or business relationship.
6.2. Third Parties: Except as described in this Privacy Policy, we do
not share personally identifiable information with anyone, unless we
have informed you of a change to our Privacy Policy and given you the
opportunity to then choose to opt out. Preveda can no longer update any
of your personally identifiable information once it has been transferred
to such third parties and cannot implement or impose your opt out
requests upon such third parties. Instead, you must either contact that
third party or refer to its privacy policy to update your personally
identifiable information or to let the third party know that you no
longer want to receive promotional and/or marketing information about
its products, services or offerings.
7.0
Security of Personally Identifiable Information
Preveda
maintains controls to protect the financial information you provide us,
including credit card details, during the product purchase process.
These controls include: (1) the use of SSL encryption to safeguard
information when transmitted from your web browser to the Website; (2)
the logical authentication security within the databases that store
customers’ credit card numbers; and (3) use of encryption of credit card
numbers.
Preveda employees are required to acknowledge that they understand and
will strictly abide by our corporate policies with respect to the
confidentiality of personally identifiable information. Moreover,
Preveda only gives access to databases containing personally
identifiable information to employees on a need-to-know basis. Internal
policies require that passwords be changed regularly, pursuant to
security protocols. Our security procedures are reviewed on a periodic
basis to ensure that they remain current.
Accordingly, we have
put in place security systems designed to prevent unauthorized
disclosure of information you provide to us. These systems are
structured to deter and prevent hackers and others from accessing this
information. Due to the nature of Internet communications and evolving
technologies, however, we cannot provide, and disclaim, assurance that
the information you provide us will remain free from loss, misuse, or
alteration by third parties who, despite our efforts, obtain
unauthorized access.
8.0 Children
Persons under
the age of eighteen (18) are not permitted to register for the Website
service and Preveda does not knowingly collect, either online or
offline, personally identifiable information from persons under the age
of eighteen (18). If we learn that a child under the age of eighteen
(18) has provided us with personally identifiable information, we will
attempt to delete this information from our databases, subject to any
technical limitations on our ability to do so.
9.0 Notification of Changes
Preveda
reserves the right to change or modify this Privacy Policy from time to
time, or to terminate this Privacy Policy. We will post notice of the
new policy from the Privacy Policy link on the homepage of our Website.
Your use of our Website following any such change constitutes your
agreement to follow and be bound by the Privacy Policy, as changed. If
we make any significant changes regarding disclosure of personally
identifiable information to third parties, we will attempt to notify you
prior to the date the modified policy takes effect.
