Infogrip.com, Inc. is committed to
protecting your online privacy while providing you with the
most useful and enjoyable Web experience possible. While you
can use many features of Infogrip.com anonymously, you are
required to provide personal information to purchase some
of our products and services.
How
we collect and use personal information |
|
Registering for membership on Infogrip.com
gives you access to all the site’s information and features.
The only information required is your name, e-mail address,
country, and ZIP/postal code. With your approval, we occasionally
will send e-mail to notify you about important changes to
the site, new services, and special offers from us. If you
would rather not receive these e-mail notifications, you can
simply indicate that preference either when you register or
at any time you modify your account. In addition to receiving
e-mail announcements, you can also sign up for a monthly e-mail
service that provides our own newsletter..
If you enter a contest or respond to a promotion,
we may ask for your postal address so we can notify contest
winners and deliver promotional goodies. When you enter this
information, we will save it in your member profile so that
you won’t have to enter it again. We occasionally may also
send you postal mail to notify you about important changes
to the site, new services, and special offers from us.
If you would rather not receive such information via postal
mail, you can indicate this when you enter your address or
you can modify your account at any time to indicate your preference.
How
we protect your personal information |
|
All personal data you enter
on Infogrip.com is encrypted with secure server software (SSL)
that encodes the information before your Web browser software
sends it to us. The SSL software decodes the data only after
it reaches our server, meaning hackers can’t snatch any of
your personal information while it is in transit. Once the
data reaches our site, the same state-of-the-art security
software we use to guard all of our company’s essential business
data protects your personal data as well.
We reveal only the last four digits of your
credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course,
we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate
credit card company during order processing. It is important
for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password
and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished
using a shared computer.
In addition to using the most secure technology
available, we work tirelessly to make sure that we use any
information you provide us only in ways you have approved.
We send you only the e-mail you have approved in your account
information or on your e-mail subscription sign-up page.
As you probably know, "cookies"
are small pieces of information that some Web sites store
on your computer's hard drive when you visit them. Cookies
by themselves, cannot be used to find out the identity of
any user, unless you specifically tell us who you are (for
example by completing an application), if you are just browsing
our site, we will never know who you are even though we assign
you a cookie. Like many other Web sites, Infogrip.com
uses cookies to remember a user's preferences or to identify
members so they don’t have to enter a user ID and password
upon each visit.
Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies
but allow you to modify security settings so you can approve
or reject cookies on a case-by-case basis. Even if you do
not use cookies, you can still access all of the features
on our site by logging in manually with each visit. Infogrip.com
provides links to other sites. If you use a link to visit
the site of another company, we cannot be responsible for
the privacy practices or the content of that company or its
site.
What
we provide to third parties |
|
While Infogrip.com does not provide any third-party
access to your personal information except to facilitate your
own attempts to register with our partners or receive offers
from select partners as mentioned elsewhere in this policy,
we may provide third parties with aggregate statistics about
our customers, traffic patterns, and related site information.
This data reflects site usage patterns gathered during thousands
of customer visits to our Web site each month, but it does
not contain behavioral or identifying information about any
individual member unless that member has given us permission
to share that information.
By using our Web site, you give Infogrip.com permission to
collect information about the pages served to you as an anonymous
user for the purpose of calculating aggregate site statistics.
If you register at Infogrip.com, you authorize Infogrip.com
to use information you provide to personalize the information
we deliver to you and to use your demographic information
when calculating aggregate customer data. As a registered
member, you give Infogrip.com permission to send you e-mails
related to the subscription e-mail services to which you subscribe
and the topics you select.
If you are under the age of 18, you must
not provide your name, e-mail address, or any other identifying
information without the consent of your parent or guardian,
or as otherwise provided for by applicable law.
Any changes to our privacy policy will be
posted on this page so that you are always aware of what information
we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we
disclose it.
