DigiVerge Privacy Policy
(Revised September
22, 1999)
We are committed to protecting
your privacy while you are connected to the Internet. This policy
outlines how DigiVerge handles information you to us, as well as
facts you need to know to protect your privacy during your online
experience. We hope that this policy demonstrates our commitment to
you and your experiences on the Internet.
Please read this Privacy
Policy carefully. Remember that no network systems or computers are
completely secure. We do not guarantee the security of data on the
Internet, including "secure" servers. Use your own common sense. In
many cases, the same rules that apply to everyday life apply to the
Internet.
- DigiVerge Customer Information
DigiVerge collects and stores customer information in many
ways:
- as part of a customer’s registration for the DigiVerge
Network;
- when we issue your user login names, and the passwords;
- when you purchase other goods or services from DigiVerge
through our Web Site.
We will use the information
for the following purposes:
- for accounting and/or billing purposes;
- to resolve email and/or other system errors;
- to verify your identity for accessing member-only areas of
the DigiVerge Network;
- to notify our customers of important notices or to send our
newsletters or other communications;
- to enforce our Acceptable Use Polices
- Disclosure
DigiVerge will not sell,
trade, or disclose to third parties your customer information
derived from the registration for or use of an DigiVerge online
service including customer names and addresses without your
consent. When DigiVerge uses others to perform services on its
behalf, DigiVerge will ensure that the company protects your
customer information consistent with this Policy. If DigiVerge
includes your name and any other customer information in a
customer directory that DigiVerge creates from information we
receive as an online service provider, we will give you the
opportunity to opt out of participation in that directory.
Business directories that DigiVerge creates may, however, contain
information obtained from other sources.
- Customer Choice
You may choose not to
receive direct marketing communications from DigiVerge in
connection with DigiVerge online services. You may communicate
that choice by e-mail, by mail, or by telephone.
- Usage data
DigiVerge servers
automatically gather information about which sites customers visit
on the Internet and which pages are visited within a DigiVerge Web
Site. We do not use that information except in the aggregate.
- Security
DigiVerge has implemented
technology and security features and strict policy guidelines to
safeguard the privacy of your customer information from
unauthorized access or improper use, and we will continue to
enhance our security procedures as new technology becomes
available.
- E-mail Contents
We will not read or disclose
to third parties private e-mail communications that are
transmitted using DigiVerge services except as required to operate
the service or as otherwise authorized by law.
- Improper Conduct
DigiVerge may also use
customer identifiable information to investigate and help prevent
potentially unlawful activity or activity that threatens the
network or otherwise violates the customer agreement for that
service.
