Privacy Policy
Your privacy is very
important to BRUMICON LLC (“the Company”). We want to make your experience
using our services and on the Internet as enjoyable and rewarding as possible,
and we want you to use the Internet's vast array of information, tools, and
opportunities with complete confidence.
We have created this
Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy and security. This
Privacy Policy describes how the Company collects information from all end
users of the Company's Internet services (the "Services") — those who
access some of our Services but do not have accounts ("Visitors") as
well as those who pay a service fee to subscribe to the Service
("Customers") — what we do with the information we collect, and the
choices Visitors and Customers have concerning the collection and use of such
information. The Company requests that you read this Privacy Policy carefully.
1. Introduction
The Company collects information in different
ways from Visitors and Customers who access the various parts of our Services
and the network of Web sites accessible through our Services. We use this
information primarily to provide a customized experience as you use our
Services and, generally, do not share this information with third parties.
However, we may disclose personal information collected if we have received
your permission beforehand or in very special circumstances, such as when we
believe that such disclosure is required by law or other special cases
described below..
2. Registration
Customers are asked to provide certain
personal information when they sign up for our Services including name,
address, telephone number, billing information (such as a credit card number),
and the type of personal computer being used to access the Services. The
personal information collected from Customers during the registration process
is used to manage each Member's account (such as for billing purposes). This
information is not shared with third parties, unless specifically stated
otherwise or in special circumstances. However, in instances where the Company
and a partner jointly promote the Services, the Company may provide the partner
certain personal information, such as the name, address, and username of
persons who subscribed to the Services as a result of the joint promotion for
the sole purpose of allowing us and the partner to assess the results of the
promotion. In this instance, personal information may not be used by the
partner for any other purpose. The Company may also generate non-identifying
and aggregate profiles from personal information Customers provide during
registration (such as the total number, but not the names, of Customers). As
explained in more detail below, we may use this aggregated and non-identifying
information to sell advertisements that appear on the Services.
3. Domain Registration
Domain name registration information legally
has to be available to the public. Since domain name registration information
is available to the public, anyone can access it through “WHOIS” searches. The
WHOIS database is a publicly accessible database that lists the domain name and
contact information of each registrant. The domain name registration you
provide is hosted by us to the public. At times our customers may have been
included within searches of the WHOIS database. However, the SPAM they receive
does not in any way come from the Company.
4. The Company Partners and Sponsors
Some the Company products and services are
offered to Visitors and Customers in conjunction with a non-affiliated partner.
To provide Visitors and Customers some of these products and services, the
partner may need to collect and maintain personal information. In these
instances, we will provide such data collected or transferred to our Partners
and Sponsors (e.g., domain registration). Additionally, many the Company
Customers have co-branded pages that are co-sponsored by non-affiliated
partners. The Company will share non-identifying and aggregate information
(except as described above), but not personal information, with such partners
in order to administer the co-branded products or services offered.
5. Online Shopping
At some Web sites, you can purchase products
and services or register to receive materials, such as a catalog or new product
and service updates. In many cases, you may be asked to provide contact
information, such as your name, address, email address, phone number, and
credit/debit card information. If you complete an order for someone else, such
as an online gift order sent directly to a recipient, you may be asked to
provide information about the recipient, such as the recipient's name, address,
and phone number. The Company has no control over the third parties' use of any
personal information you provide when placing such an order. Please exercise
care when doing so. If you order products directly from the Company, we will
use the personal information you provide only to process that order. We do not
share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to
complete that order.
6. Online Advertisements
The Company displays our online
advertisements. We share aggregated and non-identifying information about our
Visitors and Customers collected through the registration process as well as
through online surveys and promotions with these advertisers. Additionally, in
some instances, we use this aggregated and non-identifying information to deliver
tailored advertisements. For instance, an advertiser tells us the audience they
want to reach (for example, males between 25 and 55 years of age) and provides
us an advertisement tailored to the audience. Based upon the aggregated and
non-identifying information we have collected, we may then display the
advertisement to the intended audience. The Company does not share personal
information about its Visitors or Customers with these advertisers.
7. Responses to Email Inquiries
When Visitors or Customers send email
inquiries to the Company, the return email address is used to answer the email
inquiry we receive. The Company does not use the return email address for any advertising
purposes and will only share this email address with a third-party if it
believes it necessary (e.g. court-ordered subpoena).
8. Voluntary Customer Surveys
We may periodically conduct both business and
individual customer surveys. We encourage our customers to participate in these
surveys because they provide us with important information that helps us to
improve the types of services we offer and how we provide them to you. Your
personal information and responses will remain strictly confidential, even if
the survey is conducted by a third party. Participation in our customer surveys
is voluntary. We take the information we receive from individuals responding to
our Customer Surveys and combine (or aggregate) it with the responses of other
the Company customers to create broader, generic responses to the survey
questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education, employment, industry
sector, or other demographic information). We then use the aggregated
information to improve the quality of our services to you, and to develop new
services and products. This aggregated, non-personally
identifying information may be shared with third parties.
9. Special Cases
It is the Company's policy not to use or share
the personal information about Visitors of Customers in ways unrelated to the
ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt out or
otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. However, the Company may disclose
personal information about Visitors or Customers, or information regarding your
use of the Services or Web sites accessible through our Services, for any
reason if, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to do so,
including: to satisfy laws, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act,
regulations, or governmental or legal requests for such information; to
disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal
action against someone who may be violating our Acceptable Use Policy or other
user policies; to operate the Services properly; or to protect the Company and
our Customers.
10. "Cookies" and How the Company Uses
Them
A "cookie" is a small data file that
can be placed on your hard drive when you visit certain Web sites. The Company
may use cookies to collect, store, and sometimes track information for
statistical purposes to improve the products and services we provide and to
manage our telecommunications networks. If you are a Member and have created
your own Personal Start Page, we will use a cookie to save your settings and to
provide customizable and personalized services. These cookies do not enable
third parties to access any of your customer information. Additionally, be
aware that if you visit non-the Company Web sites where you are prompted to log
in or that are customizable, you may be required to accept cookies. Advertisers
and partners may also use their own cookies. We do not control use of these
cookies and expressly disclaim responsibility for information collected through
them.
11. Statistics
We use information gathered about you from our
site statistics (for example your IP address) to help diagnose problems with
our server, and to administer our Web site. We also gather broad demographic
information from this data to help us improve our site and make your browsing
and purchasing experience more enjoyable. This is not linked to any personally
identifiable information, except as necessary to prevent fraud or abuse on our
system.
12. The Company's Commitment to Children's Privacy
Protecting children's privacy is especially
important to us. It is our policy to comply with the Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act of 1998 and all other applicable laws. While we make every
effort to ensure that these Web sites are fun and age-appropriate for our
younger audience, we believe that there is no substitute for proper parental
supervision. The Company recommends that children ask a parent for permission
before sending personal information to the Company, or to anyone else online.
13. Public Forums
Please remember that any information you may
disclose in our Member Directory, or other public areas of our Web sites or the
Internet, becomes public information. You should exercise caution when deciding
to disclose personal information in these public areas.
14. The Company's Commitment to Data Security
Services and Web sites we sponsor have
security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the
information under our control. While we make every effort to ensure the
integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our
security measures will prevent third-party "hackers" from illegally
obtaining this information.
15. How to Access or Modify Your Information
The Company offers Customers the opportunity
to access or modify information provided during registration. To access or
modify such information contact our Customer Service Department at billing@brumicon.com.
16. Where to Direct Questions About the Company's
Privacy Policy
If you have any questions about this Privacy
Policy or the practices described herein, you may contact: Customer Service at support@inmotionhosting.com.
17. Exceptions
As stated previously in this policy, we will
never give out your information without your permission. The only exceptions to
this are, when we are required by law, in the good-faith belief that such
action is necessary in order to conform to the law, or we must comply with a
legal process served on our web site. We may also need to give out your
information if one of our partners requires it, but these situations are rare
and we will always ask for your explicit permission first.
18. Revisions to This Policy
The Company reserves the right to revise,
amend, or modify this policy, our Internet Service Agreement and our other
policies and agreements at any time and in any manner. Notice of any revision,
amendment, or modification will be posted in accordance with the Internet
Service Agreement.
