CUnet, LLC Privacy Policy
CUnet, LLC and its affiliated companies ("we" or "us") operate a
series of websites offering a variety of products and services (a "Site" or the
"Sites"). This notice outlines the privacy policies of the Sites. By visiting
this website, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy
Policy.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to change the terms of this Privacy Policy. Since any
changes will be posted on this page, we encourage you to check this page
regularly. Your continued use of the Sites following any changes to this Privacy
Policy will constitute your acceptance of such changes.
Your IP Address
Each time you visit the Sites, our web server automatically recognizes your
IP address and the Web page from which you came. Your IP address is used to help
identify you and to gather broad demographic information about you. We also use
your IP address to help diagnose problems with our servers, to administer the
Sites, and to better serve you in using the services and features of the Sites.
Cookies and Action Tags
The first time a user provides an e-mail address in connection with their
activities at a Site, we assign an identification number to that e-mail address
and deploy a cookie to the user's PC. Whenever that user comes back to a Site
using the same PC, the cookie allows the Site to identify the user and to recall
the user's e-mail address. If, at any time, a user provides other information in
connection with their activities on a Site (such as name, address, birth date,
gender, etc.), we may store that information, along with the user's e-mail
address, in our user database. We may use the information stored in our database
(i) for the purpose for which the information was originally provided by a user,
(ii) to pre-populate information fields in the event a user wishes to request
information, sign up for and/or subscribe to services, promotions or offers in
the future, (iii) to ensure that a user will not be repeatedly exposed to the
same ads, offers and promotions while visiting Sites, and (iv) to, in connection
with regular communication with a user, include offers, promotions or
advertisements historically, or likely to be, of interest to that user.
Action Tags, Web Beacons and other Data Collection Methods: An action tag or
a web-beacon (also known as a clear gif or a pixel tag) is a method used to
track responses or actions by visitors who view certain advertisements or other
information on a site. Action tags are 1x1 pixel images embedded in a website
page that are used to transparently collect information. We may use action tags
to count the number of times that visitors click on a particular banner ad or
visit the pages of our Sites and to provide information about what products are
viewed or purchased.
Personal Information We Collect From You
While on the Site we may collect personal information from you. Personal
information may include information you provide to us while registering with a
Site, making purchases, or as otherwise requested on the Site, such as your
name, address, phone number, and e-mail address. Personal information may also
include information we gather about you while on a Site such as your information
requests & usage history. We may also collect demographic information that
you provide to us such as your zip code, age, or income level.
How We Use Personal Information
We will use your personal information for customer service, to provide you
with information that you may request, to customize your experience on a Site,
and to contact you when necessary in connection with transactions entered into
by you on a Site. We may also use your personal information for internal
business purposes, such as analyzing and managing our business. We may also
combine the information we have gathered about you with information from other
sources. We may use third parties to help us operate our business and the Sites
or administer activities on our behalf, information requests, interests &
order fulfillment. We may share your information with these third parties for
those limited purposes.
In addition, unless a user has elected not to receive our offers and
third-party offers and promotions or to limit or prohibit disclosure of
information about them, we may provide individual user information to our
advertising and marketing partners, our affiliated companies, or other third
parties interested in marketing to our Sites' users. We make an effort to
provide users and subscribers with ads and offers that they may find of interest
and of some value. Nevertheless, it is our policy to allow users to make the
choices about, and to control, the information our Sites collect and the manner
in which that information is used. For this reason, users always have the
ability to update, change or delete information about them collected by the
Sites, to unsubscribe from any mailing list at any time, to opt out of receiving
third-party ads, promotions and offers, and to prevent disclosure of their
information to third-parties for such purposes. We reserve the right to, in
connection with a transfer of any of our assets to any affiliated company,
provide user information and data to the affiliate subject to the terms of this
policy. Similarly, we reserve the right to, in connection with a sale of any of
our assets or businesses to a third party, sell our customer database, or
relevant portion thereof, so that a third-party may be able to continue to
provide the services and features to which our users have subscribed. We may
release user information if required by law, to enforce any terms of service, or
to protect the rights, property or safety of our Sites, its registered users, or
others. Please note that our privacy policy does not apply to websites or web
pages that link to our Sites.
You may, at any time, notify us that you do not wish to have your personal
information disclosed to third parties for offers and promotions by sending an
e-mail to [email protected]
How We Use Financial Information
Financial information is used to bill you for products and services. By
making a purchase on a Site, you consent to our providing your financial
information to our service providers and to such third parties as we determine
is necessary to process your transactions. These third parties may include the
credit card companies and banking institutions used to process the
transaction.
How We Use Demographic Information
We use demographic information to tailor Sites to the interests of our users.
Demographic information is shared with advertisers so that they can tailor their
advertisements to the appropriate audience. Demographic information may also be
shared with other third parties.
Other Sites
Other sites accessible through our Sites have their own privacy policies and
data collection, use and disclosure practices. Please consult each site's
privacy policy. We are not responsible for the policies or practices of third
parties. Please be aware that our Sites may contain links to other sites on the
Internet that are owned and operated by third parties. The information practices
of those websites linked to our Sites are not covered by this Privacy Policy.
These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit
personal information. Additionally, other companies that place advertising on
our Sites may collect information about you when you view or click on their
advertising through the use of cookies. We cannot control this collection of
information. You should contact these advertisers directly if you have any
questions about their use of the information that they collect.
On behalf of various sponsors, we may provide sponsored links to third-party
websites. If you click on a sponsored link or banner ad, a "window" or "frame"
containing a third-party's web site may appear in the foreground with a Site in
the background. Unless you are on one of our Sites, any time that you have moved
to a window, you should assume that your personal information is being
collected, used and disclosed in accordance with the windowed site's privacy
policy (if any). If you are unsure as to whose privacy policy applies, please
contact us by e-mail at [email protected].
Our Security Precautions
The Site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse
and alteration of the information under our control. We encrypt all of your
personal and financial information and use our best efforts to prevent it from
being read or intercepted as the information travels over the Internet. While we
are committed to protecting your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the
security of any information you transmit to us.
Accessing Your Information
At your request, we will modify or remove personal information that you have
provided to us. You may do so by e-mailing [email protected].
However, changing or deleting your information or otherwise opting-out of
receipt of communications from us or third parties will only change or delete
the data in our database for purposes of transacting future business on a Site
and for managing future communications from us and third parties. These changes
and deletions will not change or delete information already collected as part of
a particular purchase in our transactions database, which may have already been
shared with third parties, all as provided above in this Privacy Policy. You
will need to contact third parties who may contact you directly to change your
preferences or your personal information that they may be using to contact
you.
