Your privacy is very important to iTeraWeb
Solutions Inc. ("iTeraWeb"). 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 iTeraWeb collects information from all
end users of iTeraWeb'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.
iTeraWeb requests that you read this Privacy
Policy carefully.
- Introduction. iTeraWeb
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.
- 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
iTeraWeb and a partner jointly promote the
Services, iTeraWeb 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. iTeraWeb 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.
- 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
iTeraWeb.
- iTeraWeb's Partners and
Sponsors. Some iTeraWeb 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 iTeraWeb Customers have
co-branded pages that are co-sponsored by
non-affiliated partners. iTeraWeb 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.
- 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. iTeraWeb 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 iTeraWeb, 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.
- Online Advertisements.
iTeraWeb 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.
iTeraWeb does not share personal
information about its Visitors or Customers
with these advertisers.
- Responses to Email
Inquiries. When Visitors or
Customers send email inquiries to iTeraWeb,
the return email address is used to answer
the email inquiry we receive. iTeraWeb does
not use the return email address for any
other purpose and does not share the return
email address with any third party.
- 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 iTeraWeb
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.
- Special Cases. It is
iTeraWeb'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,
iTeraWeb 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 iTeraWeb and our Customers.
- "Cookies" and How
iTeraWeb Uses Them. A
"cookie" is a small data file
that can be placed on your hard drive when
you visit certain Web sites. iTeraWeb 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-iTeraWeb 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.
- 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.
- iTeraWeb'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. iTeraWeb recommends that
children ask a parent for permission before
sending personal information to iTeraWeb,
or to anyone else online.
- 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.
- iTeraWeb'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.
- How to Access or Modify Your
Information. iTeraWeb 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@iteraweb.com.
- Where to Direct Questions About
iTeraWeb's Privacy Policy. If you
have any questions about this Privacy
Policy or the practices described herein,
you may contact: Customer Service, iTeraWeb
Solutions Inc., 1054 Centre Street, Suite
123, Thornhill, Ontario L4J 8E5.
- 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.
- Revisions to This
Policy. iTeraWeb 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.
