INPHONITE PRIVACY STATEMENT
Your privacy is important to Inphonite. This statement
discloses the information practices for Inphonite web sites,
including what type of information is gathered and tracked, how the
information is used, and with whom the information is
shared.
Inphonite, LLC abides by the Safe Harbor framework as set
forth by the United States Department of Commerce regarding the
collection, use and retention of information collected from the
European Union by a web site on the Inphonite.com
domain.
PERSONAL INFORMATION
In general, you can visit Inphonite on the Internet without
telling us who you are and without giving any personal information
about yourself. There are times, however, when we or our partners
may need information from you.
You may choose to give us personal information in a
variety of situations. For example, you may want to give us
information, such as your name and address or e-mail ID, to
correspond with you, to process an order, or to provide you with a
subscription. You may give us your credit card details to purchase
something from us or a description of your education and work
experience in connection with a job opening at Inphonite that you
wish to be considered for. We intend to let you know how we will
use such information before we collect it from you; if you tell us
that you do not want us to use this information to make further
contact with you beyond fulfilling your requests, we will respect
your wishes. If you give us personal information about somebody
else, such as a spouse or work colleague, we will assume that you
have their permission to do so.
USING AND SHARING PERSONAL
INFORMATION
The following paragraphs describe in more detail how Inphonite may
use your personal information and with whom we may share it.
Depending on the type of Inphonite web site you are visiting, one
or more of the paragraphs may apply. For example, if you order a
product from a Inphonite web site, your information will be
handled as described in such paragraphs as Fulfilling Your
Transaction Request and Marketing Use.
FULFILLING YOUR TRANSACTION
REQUEST
If you request something from an Inphonite web site, for example,
a product or service, a callback, or specific marketing materials,
we will use the information you provide to fulfill your request. To
help us do this, we may share information, with others, for
instance, other parts of Inphonite, Inphonite's Business Partners,
financial institutions, shipping companies, postal or government
authorities (for example, Customs authorities) involved in
fulfillment. In connection with a transaction we may also contact
you as part of our customer satisfaction surveys or for market
research purposes.
MARKETING USE
The information you provide to Inphonite on certain Inphonite web
sites may also be used by Inphonite and selected third parties for
marketing purposes. Before we use it, however, we will offer you
the opportunity to choose whether or not to have your information
used in this way.
INPHONITE HUMAN RESOURCES WEBSITES (INCLUDING
RECRUITMENT)
In connection with a job application or inquiry, whether
advertised on a Inphonite web site or otherwise, you may provide us
with information about yourself, such as a resume or curriculum
vitae. We may use this information throughout Inphonite and its
related entities for the purpose of employment consideration or
your inquiry. Except where you tell us not to, we will keep the
information for future consideration.
INFORMATION FOR CHANNEL
PARTNERS
If you represent an Inphonite Channel Partner, you may visit an
Inphonite web site intended specifically for Inphonite Channel
Partners. We may use information provided on that site to
administer and develop our business relationship with you, the
Channel Partner you represent, and Inphonite Channel Partners
generally. For instance, this may involve using your information to
send you details of Inphonite Business Partner programs. It may
also include sharing certain information with other Channel
Partners (subject to any confidentiality obligations that may
exist), or Inphonite customers or prospects. In connection with a
particular transaction or program, we may also contact you as part
of customer satisfaction surveys or for market research
purposes.
INPHONITE SUPPLIER
ADMINISTRATION
If you represent a Inphonite supplier, you may visit a Inphonite
web site intended specifically for use by Inphonite suppliers. We
may use the information provided on that site in connection with
entering into or performing a transaction with you. For example,
this may include sharing information with other parts of Inphonite,
Inphonite's Channel Partners, customers, shipping companies,
financial institutions, postal or government authorities involved
in fulfillment. It may also be used to administer and develop our
relationship with you, the supplier you represent and/or other
Inphonite suppliers generally.
INPHONITE DISCUSSION
FORUMS AND CHAT ROOMS
If you participate in an Inphonite discussion forum or chat room,
you should be aware that the information you provide there will be
made broadly available to others, potentially inside or outside
Inphonite, who have access to that discussion forum or chat room.
Also, please recognize that individual forums and chat rooms may
have additional rules and conditions. Each participant's opinion on
a forum or chat room is his or her own and should not be considered
as reflecting the opinion of Inphonite.
OTHER INPHONITE
WEBSITE NOTICES
In some cases, specific Inphonite web sites may contain other
notices about their use and the information practices applicable to
those sites.
OUR WORLDWIDE
PRACTICES
Inphonite is a global organization, with legal entities, business
processes, management structures, and technical systems that cross
borders. Our privacy practices are designed to provide protection
for your personal information, all over the world.
We may share your personal information within Inphonite
and transfer it to countries in the world where we do business.
Some countries may provide less legal protection for your
information. In such countries Inphonite will still handle
information in the manner we describe here.
INFORMATION SECURITY AND
QUANTITY
We intend to protect your personal information and to maintain its
quality. We implement appropriate measures and processes, such as
using encryption when transmitting certain sensitive information,
to help us to keep your information secure and to maintain its
quality.
SUPPLEMENTING
INFORMATION
From time to time we may supplement information you give us via a
Inphonite web site with information from other sources, such as
information validating your address or other available information
about businesses. This is to help us maintain the accuracy of the
information we collect and to help us provide a better
service.
USE OF SUPPLIERS
In some cases, Inphonite uses suppliers to collect, use, analyze
and otherwise process information on its behalf. It is Inphonite's
practice to require such suppliers to handle information in a
manner consistent with Inphonite's policies.
MERGERS AND
ACQUISITIONS
Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other
business reasons, Inphonite decides to sell, buy, merge or
otherwise reorganize businesses in some countries. Such a
transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to
prospective or actual purchasers, or receiving it from sellers. It
is Inphonite's practice to seek appropriate protection for
information in these types of transactions.
COOKIES, WEB BEACONS, AND OTHER
TECHNOLOGIES
We sometimes collect non-identifiable information from visits to
our web sites to help us provide better customer service. For
example, we keep track of the domains from which people visit, and
we also measure visitor activity on Inphonite web sites, but we do
so in ways that keep the information non-identifiable. This
information is sometimes known as "clickstream data." Inphonite or
others on Inphonite's behalf may use this data to analyze trends
and statistics and to help us provide better customer
service.
Also, when we collect personal data from you in a
transaction, we may extract some information about that transaction
in a non-identifiable format and combine it with other
non-identifiable information such as clickstream data. This
information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level to help
us understand trends and patterns. This information is not reviewed
at an individual level. If you do not want your transaction details
used in this manner you can disable your cookies.
We collect the information we mentioned in the previous
paragraphs through the use of various technologies, including one
called "cookies". A cookie is a piece of data that a web site can
send to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer as
an anonymous tag that identifies your computer but not you. Some
Inphonite pages use cookies, sent by Inphonite or its third party
vendors, or other technologies to better serve you when you return
to the web site. You can set your browser to notify you before you
receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept
it. You can also set your browser to turn off cookies. If you do
so, however, some web sites may not work properly.
Some Inphonite web sites also use Web beacon or other
technologies to better tailor those sites to provide better
customer service. These technologies may be in use on a number of
pages across Inphonite's web sites. When a visitor accesses these
pages, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which
may be processed by us or by our suppliers. These Web beacons
usually work in conjunction with cookies. If you don't want your
cookie information to be associated with your visits to these
pages, you can set your browser to turn off cookies.
If you turn off cookies, web beacon and other technologies
will still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they
generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie
information and are disregarded.
SERVICE QUALITY
MONTITORING
Certain web transactions may also involve you calling us or our
calling you. Please be aware that it is Inphonite's general
practice to monitor and in some cases record such calls for staff
training or quality assurance purposes.
ONLINE ADVERTISING
Certain companies may help us deliver interactive on-line
advertising such as banner ads. These companies may collect and use
information about customers to help us better understand the
offers, promotions, and types of advertising that are most
appealing to our customers. After it is collected the information
is aggregated so it is not identifiable to a specific individual.
If, however, you would prefer that these companies not collect such
information, please visit www.networkadvertising.org and follow the
"opt-out" instructions.
PERSONALIZED URL LINK
On occasion, we may personalize and customize web sites for
certain visitors. If you visit one of these sites, you may find it
customized with references to products and/or services that we
believe may be of interest to you, based on your previous
interactions with Inphonite and information you have provided to
us. While you are visiting these web sites, we may collect
information about your visit to better tailor the site to your
interests. An invitation to visit one of these web sites is usually
presented as a personalized URL in an e-mail, a notice on a web
site registration page, or as a response to you logging on to a
certain web site. If you choose to visit one of these web sites,
you are agreeing to let Inphonite collect information about your
visits and also to its association with other information about you
and your relationship with Inphonite. If you do not wish your
information to be used in this way, do not accept the invitation to
visit these sites.
DISCLOSURES REQUIRED BY
LAW
Please be aware that in certain circumstances, it is possible that
personal information may be subject to disclosure pursuant to
judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants, or
orders.
PRIVACY TECHNOLOGY
Technology will increasingly help give you more control over your
personal information. It will also help organizations to manage
their privacy practices and policies. As an information technology
provider, Inphonite actively supports the development of privacy
technologies to help achieve these goals and to help create greater
trust and confidence in the way personal information is handled.
Other products and services are available which can assist you with
the control of your personal information while navigating the Web.
See http://www.privacyalliance.org/resources/rulesntools.shtml for
an overview of many privacy-related tools. Please note that
Inphonite has not formally evaluated these tools.
