Summary
SecuritySeer Values and respects the privacy of the Company's Subscribers to our free and fee-based services. Because we gather certain types of information about our Subscribers we want to help you understand the terms and conditions surrounding the collection and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses the types of information we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it. These privacy practices apply to the SecuritySeer Web site that you were viewing when you clicked through to this policy, which is operated by SecuritySeer, its partners or affiliates. These privacy practices apply only to online transactions, activity and to all email communications. All credit card transactions are processed through secure connections. SecuritySeer uses proven technologies that improve the privacy of our Subscribers' information. SecuritySeer does not rent or sell your email address to anyone without your express permission. When we do share information with our partners and advertisers, it is in aggregate form, and does not identify you personally. SecuritySeer does not collect or use any information about you except for the information that you provide or is publicly available, and this information is used solely to make the services provided more relevant to your interests. Under no circumstances is your e-mail address ever shared with advertisers. SecuritySeer handles all e-mail delivery internally to assure your privacy. By becoming a SecuritySeer Customer, you agree to the SecuritySeer Services Agreement Terms and Conditions.
1. What Personally Identifiable Information Does SecuritySeer Collect?
SecuritySeer's goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with the Services. SecuritySeer derives its revenue mainly from fee-based services. SecuritySeer collects personally identifiable information when a Customer provides it to us, such as when you subscribe to our Services, update your Customer profile on our Web site and when you visit the SecuritySeer Web site. SecuritySeer may also receive information about you from other sources and add it to the information you have provided to us.
2. What Anonymous Information Does SecuritySeer Collect?
Cookies
Your Internet browser has a feature called "cookies" which stores small amounts of data on your computer about your visit to our site. However, cookies tell us nothing about which you are unless you specifically give us personally identifiable information. You do not need to have cookies turned on to visit the SecuritySeer site, although active participation in certain areas of our site may require cookies. In addition, you may elect not to allow cookies to be collected by selecting certain options on your browser.
Visitor Activities
To track general Subscriber traffic patterns, we use electronic images known as single-pixel GIFs, transparent GIFs, or clear gifs. SecuritySeer also automatically receives and records information from our servers and from your browser including your IP address, the time, and information about the page you requested. In order to determine which features Subscribers find most useful, we use tracking technologies in a variety of ways, including: keeping count of return visits to our site or our advertisers' or partners' sites and accumulating and reporting anonymous, aggregate (data collected in mass), statistical information on Web site and advertisement usage.
Third-Party Advertisement Servers
Some of our advertisers use third-party companies to serve their advertisements on our site and, in some cases, in our reports. Often, these third-party advertising companies employ cookie and visitor activity technologies to measure advertisement effectiveness. We do not give any personally identifiable information to them as part of this relationship. Use of their tracking technology is subject to their own privacy policies.
