NetInformer LLC operates the NetInformer Web Site and other wireless
information services. At NetInformer, we strive to develop innovative
services to better serve our users. We recognize that privacy is an
important issue, so we design and operate our services with the protection
of your privacy in mind. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of
personal information we gather when you use NetInformer’s services,
as well as some of the steps we take to safeguard it. We promise that
we will take steps to use your personal information only in ways that
are compatible with this Privacy Policy.
The following principles apply to the personally identifying information
we ask for and that you provide. "Personally identifying information" is
information that individually identifies you, such as your name, phone
number, physical address or email address.
Data collection
- NetInformer collects limited non-personally identifying information
your wireless phone service makes available whenever you participate
in one of our services. This log information includes your phone
number, your mobile phone carrier, the date and time of your
participation and your inbound message. We use this information to
operate, develop and improve our services.
- Some of our services may require you to register for an account.
NetInformer asks you for some personal information that will identify
you in order to create an account (typically your name, email
address and a password for your account) and we will use that information
to provide the service. Personal information may include e-mail address,
zip code, birth date, age, gender and geographic location. We may
also ask you to select a user name and password. In some cases, when
you interact with a NetInformer campaign or promotion, or redeem
promotional materials, you may be asked to provide personal information
to the provider of the goods or services. That information would
be subject to the privacy policy of the provider.
- When we require personally identifying information, we will inform
you about the types of information we collect and how we use it.
We hope this will help you make an informed decision about sharing
your personal information with us.
Information sharing
- We do not rent or sell your personally identifying information
to other companies or individuals, unless we have your consent. We
may share such information in any of the following limited circumstances:
- We have your consent.
- We provide such information to trusted businesses or persons
for the sole purpose of processing personally identifying information
on our behalf. When this is done, it is subject to agreements that
oblige those parties to process such information only on our instructions
and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and appropriate confidentiality
and security measures.
- We conclude that we are required by law or have a good faith
belief that access, preservation or disclosure of such information
is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety
of NetInformer, its users or the public.
- If you have an account, we may share the information submitted
under your account among all of our services in order to provide
you with a seamless experience and to improve the quality of our
services. We will not disclose your account information to other
people or non-affiliated companies, except in the limited circumstances
described in this Policy or with your consent.
- We may store and process personal information collected on our
site in the United States or any other country in which NetInformer
LLC or its agents maintain facilities. By using our services, you
consent to the transfer of your information among these facilities,
including those located outside your country.
- NetInformer will not provide or release your personal information
to a third party unless you have opted-in for a promotion. Traffic
data and personal data may be used by NetInformer for editorial and
feedback purposes, for marketing and promotional purposes, for statistical
analysis of users' behavior, for product development, for content
improvement, and to inform advertisers of how many visitors have
viewed their advertisements. In these cases, data is reported on
an aggregate (i.e., group) basis. We may share this information with
other parties, but when we do so it is not traceable to any particular
user. In addition, traffic and personal data may be used to customize
and tailor your experience on your phone, by displaying content that
we think you may be interested in.
- We will, without specific or further notice to you, release your
traffic data and personal data when we believe such disclosure is
appropriate to: protect the rights, property or safety of NetInformer,
the site, our users or others; enforce our terms and conditions of
usage; to provide the services you directly request from us through
the NetInformer sites; comply with law, a court order or other legal
process; in the course of responding to any claim by a third party
that you are using services provided through the NetInformer sites
in connection with an infringing, illegal or improper activity or
that data you placed on a NetInformer site infringes rights of the
third party; in response to request for identification in connection
with a claim of copyright or trademark infringement by you; to an
affiliate or service provider engaged to maintain or host NetInformer
sites, subject to that party's agreement to honor this Privacy Policy.
- In the event of a transfer of ownership of NetInformer LLC, such
as acquisition by or merger with another company, we will provide
notice before any personally identifying information is transferred
and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Public Forums:
- We may provide you with chat features, instant messaging, message
boards, and/or news groups. Please remember that any information
that you may disclose in the public areas will become public information,
and any information that is disclosed in a private forum will become
accessible to all other members of that forum. We do not intend to
monitor, moderate, screen or otherwise be responsible for the contents
of postings. You should exercise caution when deciding to disclose
your personal information in public or private forums.
Information security
- We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized
access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of
data.
- We restrict access to your personally identifying information to
employees who need to know that information in order to operate,
develop or improve our services.
Updating your information
- We provide mechanisms for updating and correcting your personally
identifying information for many of our services. For more information,
please see the help pages for each service.
Opt-In and Opt-Out Choices
- We will always provide you with the opportunity to opt-in and opt-out
of receiving further communication from our partners and us. Using
the original service, you may send a request to remove your information
from our database, stop future communication, limit the use of your
information, or to review and modify information that you may have
previously provided. The format of such Opt-Out requests will be
provided when you Opt-In via the service used (wireless, SMS, internet,
etc.). In the event that you cannot utilize the original service
to Opt-Out, we will immediately honor any Opt-Out requests via the
NetInformer web site using the “Contact Us” Section.
