1.General
Sipmedia™ respects the
privacy of every individual who visits our Web sites, responds to our interactive
advertisements or sends us e-mail. This Privacy and Security Statement outlines the
information Sipmedia™ will collect and how we will use that information. This Statement
will also instruct you on what to do if you do not want your personal information
collected or shared when you visit Sipmedia™ Web sites, respond to our Web-based advertisements
or send us email.
2. Security
Sipmedia™ has implemented
some of the most technologically advanced security features to protect your Personal
Customer Information. Our technology assists in protecting your data from loss, misuse,
unauthorized access, disclosure and alteration. Sipmedia™ will continue to enhance
this security as new technology becomes available.
Our security features
provide "secure sessions" for our visitors. Through the "secure session", information
that you input into a Sipmedia.com order form will be sent and will arrive privately
and unaltered at a Sipmedia™ server. This security prohibits other companies and Web
users from being able to access your information.
3. Personally-Identifiable
Information
Sipmedia™ will not collect
any personally-identifiable information about you unless you provide it to us voluntarily.
Personally-identifiable information includes your name, address, telephone number,
and e-mail address.
The following are some
examples of when Sipmedia™ may require that you provide personally identifiable information:
-
To complete an online
order for a product or service (if you do not wish to complete an online order form,
we will always provide an option for you to complete an order by calling a toll free
phone number)
-
To enter an online contest
or sweepstakes (if you do not wish to complete an online contest or sweepstakes form,
we will always provide an option for you to enter by mailing a 3 x 5 card to a specific
address)
-
To request more information
about new or current Sipmedia™ products or services
If you do not want your
personally identifiable information collected, please do not submit it to us. If you
have already submitted this information and would like for us to remove it from our
records, please contact us at the email address listed at the bottom of this Statement.
We will use reasonable efforts to delete your information from our existing files.
When you do provide us
with personally identifiable information, we may use that information in the following
ways, unless stated otherwise:
-
We may store and process
that information to better understand all customer needs and how we can improve our
products and services for all customers.
-
We may use that information
to contact you with new promotions and announcements if you have previously provided
your permission and if the promotions and announcements are in your interest.
-
We may contact you if
we have questions about your account.
Sipmedia™ will not sell
personally identifiable information to third parties, unless we tell you we are going
to do so at the time we collect your personally identifiable information. We may share
information with business partners. We are committed to giving you the choice of whether
or not we use your information for marketing purposes or share information with business
partners.
4. Children
Sipmedia™ has no intention
of collecting any personally-identifiable information from individuals under 18 years
of age. Where appropriate, Sipmedia™ will specifically instruct children not to submit
such information on our Web sites or advertisements without consent of a parent or
guardian. If a child has provided us with personally-identifiable information without
the consent of a parent or guardian, then that child's parent or guardian should contact
us at the e-mail address listed at the bottom of this Statement if they would like
this information deleted from our records. We will use reasonable efforts to delete
the child's information from our existing files.
5.Non-Personally Identifiable
Information
In some cases, we may
collect information about you that is not personally identifiable. Examples of this
type of information include the type of Internet Browser you are using, the type of
computer operating system you are using, and the domain name of the Web site and/or
Internet Service Provider from which you linked to our site or advertisement.
Similar to personally-identifiable
information, we will not sell non-personally-identifiable information to third parties,
unless we tell you we are going to do so at the time we collect the information. We
may share non-personally-identifiable information with our business partners.
6. Use of Cookies
When you view one of our
Web sites or advertisements, we may store some information on your computer. This
information will be in the form of a "Cookie" or similar file and will be used to
determine ways to improve our Web sites, advertisements, products or services. For
example, Cookies allow us to tailor a Web site to better match your interests and
preferences. With most Internet Browsers, you can erase Cookies from your computer
hard drive, block all Cookies, or receive a warning before a Cookie is stored. Please
refer to your Browser instructions or help screen to learn more about these functions.
7. Declining E-mail
Offers
As outlined in Section
3 of this Statement, we will only send email promotions or announcements to you if
you have previously provided your permission for us to do so. Although many customers
tell us they appreciate receiving notice of these carefully designed promotions and
announcements, we recognize the importance of providing you with choices. At any time,
you may remove your name from our e-mail list by [filling out our simple online un-subscription
form]. All e-mail offers that you receive from CellThru™ will inform you of how
to decline receiving further email offers.
8. Who to Contact
If you have submitted
personally-identifiable information through a Sipmedia™ Web site or interactive advertisement,
and would like that information deleted from our records, please contact us at our
e-mail address customercare@Sipmedia.com. We
will use reasonable efforts to delete this information from our existing files.
9. Revisions to this
Policy
As the Company grows and
new features are added, or legal requirements change, this Privacy Policy may be modified.
Any changes to the Company privacy policy will be posted on all applicable Web sites.
All information submitted through the Web sites is subject to the terms and conditions
of this Privacy Policy, as amended from time to time. This Privacy Policy was last
updated in December 2003.
