I2V PRIVACY POLICY
I2V takes the issue of privacy very seriously. I2V is dedicated to protecting
the privacy of our users by taking all possible measures to protect their
personally identifiable information. This privacy statement was developed to
outline these measures and disclose the privacy practices of I2V.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our
users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website,
your information is protected both online and off-line.
When our sign-up/order form asks users to enter sensitive
information (such as credit card number or postal address), that information is
encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry -
SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on
the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just
'surfing'.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do
everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users'
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted
in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job
(for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are
granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use
password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they return,
they must re-enter their password to re-gain access to your information.
Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy
practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are
added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place
on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers' information is
protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable
information on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.
Information Collection and Use
I2V is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. I2V will not
release any personably identifying information unless you specifically
authorize us to do so or unless required by the appropriate law enforcement
officials.
Registration
In order to use our services, a user must first complete the sign-up form.
During registration a user is required to give their contact information (such
as name and email address). This information is used to contact the user about
the services on our site for which they have expressed interest. It is optional
for the user to provide demographic information (such as income level and
occupation).
Order
We request information from the user on our order form
for premium services. Here a user must provide contact information (like name
and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number,
expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill
customer's orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information
is used to get in touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard
drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way
linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the
user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. If a user rejects the
cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user
will be limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user will not be
able to log into the member section of the site. Cookies can also enable us to
track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our
site.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's
movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP
addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with
our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information
that can identify any individual person.
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing
company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable
information for any secondary purposes.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be
aware that I2V is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other
sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read
the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally
identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information
collected by this Web site.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary
and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. Information requested may include contact information (such as
name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age
level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award
prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving
the use and satisfaction of this site.
E-Mail Services
I2V protects the privacy of the mailboxes we manage. Our customers' mailboxes
and the content of all messages are private. We do not monitor or disclose
email messages unless we believe we must do so (i) to
enforce our Email Terms and Conditions, (ii) because we are required to do so
by law, or (iii) to defend I2V in any legal action or to protect the property
of I2V. Additionally, our customers must agree to respect the privacy and
confidentiality of others. Since privacy is, in part, a function of our customers'
passwords, we encourage them to change their passwords frequently and to not
share them with anyone.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement
updates. Members are not able to un-subscribe from
service announcements, which contain important information about the service.
We communicate with the user to provide requested services and in regards to
issues relating to their account via email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip
code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide
a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided to us.
This can usually be done at the member section page or by emailing our Customer
Support.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our
Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we
use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we
decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from
that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an
email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information
in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the
privacy policy under which the information was collected.
