Customer Privacy Policy
Inter.net considers the privacy of our
customers to be of paramount importance. This statement discloses our
privacy practices and outlines our efforts to protect your privacy.
What type of information does
Inter.net collect?
Inter.net collects information from our users at two levels:
individual, which can be linked to a user, and aggregate, which
combines users' data but does not identify information about individual
users.
Individual Information
Registration
In order to use portions of this Web site, a user may be asked to first
complete the registration form. During registration a user is required
to provide contact information, such as name and email address. This
information is used to contact the user regarding billing and service
issues, and to inform the user of new products and special offers. It
is optional for the user to provide demographic information and other
unique identifiers, but encouraged, so we can provide a more
personalized experience on our site.
Orders
We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user
must provide contact information (like name and billing address) and
financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This
information is used for billing purposes and to complete the customer's
orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact
information is used to get in touch with the user. This information is
only transmitted over secure connections. (See Security section of this
statement.)
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 has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information.
Information requested may include contact information (such as name and
address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age range).
Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award
prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or
improving the usability and design of this site.
Aggregate information
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. If a user's
machine is configured not to accept cookies, they may still use our
site; however, their experience may be limited in some areas of the
Inter.net site, including but not limited to the user's ability to
customize their content.
Who has access to this information?
Inter.net is the sole owner of the information it collects and keeps
this information secure both on and offline. Only authorized employees
of Inter.net have access to this information. Inter.net may share
aggregated demographic information with certain business partners. This
is not linked to any personal information that can identify any
individual person.
Sharing
Inter.net partners with other companies to provide specific services to
our customers. If the user signs up for these services, we will share
names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third
party to provide these services. These companies are contractually
prohibited from using personally identifiable information except for
the purpose of providing these services.
Will I know when information is
being collected?
When individual data is collected, you will be notified. During the
collection of information that will only be used at an aggregate level,
such as cookies or IP address information, you may not be notified.
What if I want to change/remove any
information collected?
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as a
billing address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we
provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data.
This can be accomplished by emailing the new information to Inter.net
Customer Support at d-everywhere@gmocloud.com .
What about links?
The Inter.net Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware
that Inter.net 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.
Security
Inter.net takes every precaution to protect our users' personal
information. When users submit sensitive information via the Web site,
their information is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive
information (such as credit card number and/or social security number),
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 users are just "surfing." To find
out more about SSL, follow this link
http://www.verisign.com/site/ssl.php.
While we use SSL encryption to protect
sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to
protect user information offline. 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. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our
security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers that we store
personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure
environment, behind locked doors.
If you have any questions about the security
at our website, you can send an email to d-everywhere@gmocloud.com .
Special Offers
Inter.net sends all new members a welcoming email to verify password
and username. Established members will occasionally receive information
on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter.
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.
Notification of Changes
If Inter.net decides to change its privacy policy, we will post those
changes on our home page so our users are always aware of what
information we collect, how we use it, and under which 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. We will
use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the
information was collected.
