Promodem Media Inc respects the privacy of all of its users and is committed to protecting such privacy in accordance with this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy explains Promodem Media Inc.'s and its subsidiaries' ("PMI") treatment of your personally identifiable information collected in connection with your activities on or related to all PMI websites referencing this Privacy Policy (the "PMI Sites") and all services made available on the PMI Sites (collectively, unless noted otherwise, the "PMI Services"). This Privacy Policy also explains how you can ask questions and make suggestions about our privacy practices and review and update your personal information.
We urge you to read this Privacy Policy carefully and to check back periodically as this Privacy Policy may change form time to time. Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies or websites which are not owned or controlled by PMI.
INFORMATION COLLECTED
In the course of operating the PMI Services, we may collect two types
of information about our users: Personal Information Information and Non-Personal
Information.
"Personal Information" is personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, email address, birth date gender and phone numbers. Personal Information is collected by us when you choose to provide it to us when registering for a PMI Service, such as when you choose to subscribe to a PMI Service, enter a PMI promotion or choose to receive a PMI newsletter. In addition, if you choose to contact any of our customer service representatives, we may keep a record of that correspondence so that we may fully address the subject matter. We may also receive Personal Information from our business partners and other third parties, provided that such third parties confirm to us that you have permitted them to share such information.
"Non-Personal Information" is information of an anonymous nature, such as an Internet Protocol Address (IP Address), the domain you may have used to access a PMI Service, the type and version of browser or operating system you may be using, and the website you may have come from and visit next. Aggregate information, such as demographic statistics of our users (e.g. average age or geographical allocation of our users), number of visitors and average time spent on a PMI Service, is also considered Non-Personal Information.
Non-Personal Information is collected or derived by us in the course of operating the PMI Services. For example our Web servers may automatically collect Non-Personal Information which is provided through your browser or stored on a Cookie or through a Web Beacon when you choose to visit a PMI Service. Non-Personal Information is used by PMI as described here.
USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal Information may be used by us for the following purposes:
DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We will not sell or rent your Personal Information to anyone.
We will only disclose your Personal Information to third parties:
LINKS TO OTHER SITES AND ADVERTISEMENTS
A PMI Service may contain links to other websites and services. While
we try to link only to sites and services that share our high standards
and respect for privacy, please understand that we are not responsible
for the content of, or the privacy practices employed by, other companies
or websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to the PMI Services referencing
this Privacy Policy.
The majority of the advertisements which are displayed in connection with the PMI Services are served through our advertisement serving server.
SECURITY
The security of your Personal Information is important to us. PMI takes
technical, contractual, administrative, and physical security steps to
protect Personal Information that you provide to us. We instruct our employees
with access to your Personal Information that it is to be used only in
adherence with the principles set forth in this Privacy Policy and the
laws applicable to each specific business.
You can help protect the security of your Personal Information as well, For instance, never give out your password, since this is what is used to access your Account or Registration Information. Also remember to log out of your account and close your browser window when you finish using a PMI Service or surfing the Web, so that other people using the same computer won't have access to your information.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
PMI may from time to time change its Privacy Policy as new PMI Services
are added or old ones changed. Changes will be effective when notice of
such change is posted at a PMI Site. Please check this Privacy Policy
regularly for updates by checking the date of "Last Update"
at the top of this document.
ADDITIONAL PRIVACY PROCEDURES
Privacy procedures specific to a PMI Service can be found on a PMI Site
at the location of the particular PMI Service, or in additional terms
referenced at such PMI Site. Those procedures are an addendum to this
policy, and are provided to you at the place where they will be of most
use to you.
ACCESSING AND CHANGING ACCOUNT/REGISTRATION
INFORMATION
PMI provides you with the means to access, update, edit or delete any
Account or Registration Information you may have provided to us at any
time on your own by going to the appropriate page in the Account or Registration
section of the relevant PMI Service, and changing or deleting such information
as desired.
If you are unsure whether we have a record containing any of your Personal Information and would like to confirm whether or not we do, please send an e-mail to our Privacy Manager at generalinfo@promodem.com, indicating all-email address that you may have given us.
