NETPEO believes
that privacy is important to the success and use of the Internet. This statement
sets forth NETPEO's Privacy Statement for NETPEO.com and NetPEO.net
and describes the practices that NETPEO will follow with respect to the privacy
of users of this site. From time to time, we may change this Privacy Statement.
For example, as we update and improve our service, new features may require
modifications to the Privacy Statement. Accordingly, please check back
periodically.
What is
personally identifiable information?
"Personally
identifiable information" is information about you, such as name, address,
e-mail address, user ID, credit card number, social security number, and so on.
How is
information collected, used, and disclosed?
We do not
collect personal information -- including your e-mail address -- unless we first
ask you for it. On some of our sites, we may request that you voluntarily supply
us with information, including your e-mail address, street address, telephone
number or other information so that we may enhance your site visit or follow up
with you after your visit. Whether you provide any information is entirely up to
you.
If you have
voluntarily provided information, you consented to the collection and use of
your personally identifiable information as described in this Privacy Statement.
In some circumstances, NETPEO may share information you voluntarily provide us
with trustworthy business partners. We do not sell or rent personal information
collected through this site to anyone. Also, NETPEO may provide aggregate
statistics about visitors to our sites, such as volume, traffic patterns, and
related site information to reputable third-party vendors, but these statistics
will include no personally identifiable information. NETPEO may also disclose
information in special cases when we have a good faith belief that such action
is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process;
(b) protect and defend our rights or property; (c) enforce the Web site Terms
and Conditions of Use; or (d) act to protect the interests of our users or
others.
What are
cookies and how are they used?
Some NETPEO
sites, like many other commercial web sites, may utilize a standard technology
called "cookies" to collect information about how our site is used.
Cookies were designed to help a web site operator determine that a particular
user had visited the site previously and thus save and remember any preferences
that may have been set while the user was browsing the site. Cookies are small
strings of text that web sites can send to your browser. Cookies cannot retrieve
any other data from your hard drive or obtain your e-mail address. If you are
simply browsing an NETPEO informational site, a cookie may be used to identify
your browser as one that has visited the site before.
We may also make
use of memory-based cookies in support of authenticating the user of certain
NETPEO web applications. Similarly, if you are a registered user of a site
providing service to NETPEO clients (and have a user ID and password), we may
use cookies so that we can provide personalized information based on preferences
you have indicated while using the site. Although you have the ability to modify
your browser to either accept all cookies, notify you when a cookie is sent, or
reject all cookies, it may not be possible to utilize NETPEO services which
require registration if you reject cookies.
What are your
choices regarding collection, use, and distribution of your information?
If you have
voluntarily provided information, you consented to the collection and use of
your personally identifiable information as described in this Privacy Statement.
If, in connection with your use of a particular service, we ask to use your data
in a way not described in this Privacy Statement and you do not wish to permit
that use, you can choose not to use the particular service.
If you have
voluntarily provided personally identifiable information, we may, from time to
time, send you mail or e-mail regarding products and services. If you do not
want to receive such offers and mailings, you can easily indicate that by
checking the appropriate box on the submission form.
How can you
correct, access, and update your information?
You may view and
edit your personally identifiable information at any time by contacting us using
the link provided on the web site.
How do we
protect your information?
We exercise
great care to protect your personally identifiable information. This includes,
among other things, using industry standard techniques such as firewalls,
encryption, intrusion detection and site monitoring. Unfortunately, no data
transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result,
while we strive to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot
ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or receive
from us. This is especially true for information you transmit to us via e-mail.
We have no way of protecting that information until it reaches us. Once we
receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our
servers.
Internally, we
will restrict access to your personally identifiable information to employees
who need access to the information in order to do their jobs. These employees
are limited in number, and are committed to our privacy policies.
We will review
our security arrangements from time to time as we deem appropriate.
How can you
help protect your information?
If you are using
an NETPEO web site for which you registered and chose a password, we recommend
that you do not divulge your password to anyone. We will never ask you for your
password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited e-mail. Also remember
to sign out of the registered site and close your browser window when you have
finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal
information and correspondence if others have access to your computer.
Other sites
NETPEO sites may
contain links to other sites, including those of our business partners. While we
seek to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for
privacy, we are not responsible for the privacy practices employed by other
sites.
