Privacy Policy
Inofile.com - General Privacy Policy
Thank you for reviewing the Privacy Policy for Inofile.com "The
Site"). Inofile is sensitive to the issue of confidentiality in
online dealings and is committed to protecting individual privacy.
This Privacy Policy is intended to inform users about the general
approach Inofile uses in collecting, using and disseminating user
information via Inofile.com.
What data do we collect automatically and why?
When you visit The Site and you have not otherwise identified
yourself (e.g., via registration with a Inofile Site), the web
server automatically recognizes your domain name, but not your
e-mail address. We collect the domain name and monitor general site
use and traffic patterns to improve our web site and the products
and services we offer. Inofile uses web server logs to collect data
for metric purposes. Examples of the types of data collected on the
logs are IP addresses, referral pages, date and time of Site
access, and Site visited. We may use collected data to customize
the content and/or layout of our pages for each individual
visitor.
In the course of providing service to you, however, Inofile
collects nonpublic personal information about you from the
following sources:
- Information from you on contact and networking areas of the
site and other standard forms (for example, name, address, email
address, and social media outlets you share with etc.)
Inofile also provides the opportunity to send e-mail to us via
Inofile.com. We may ask for names and other information to better
understand your needs, but we require no personally identifiable
information except your phone number and an e-mail address, which
we use solely for the purpose of responding to messages and/or
requests.
Do we use Cookies or Tracers?
Cookies are small data files placed on your hard drive by a
website server when you visit. Inofile.com may use cookies for
tracking purposes or to make the Site easier to use. Cookies are
currently the only way to effectively identify a unique anonymous
visitor and understand how they navigate our web site. An anonymous
visitor to our site remains anonymous in all cases. We do not
attempt to identify visitors if they do not voluntarily submit
personal information to us. With most Internet browsers, you can
erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies, or
receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Cookies offer enhanced
functionality to the user, but whether you allow a cookie to be
placed on your computer is up to you!
In some instances, we use tracking scripts or "tracers" that
recognize a unique identifier from a cookie placed on your hard
drive by another website. These are used by Inofile solely to gauge
the success of our own advertising. For instance, we may use a
tracer to determine whether you visit our pages after visiting a
site where Inofile placed a banner ad or Inofile appeared in a news
article. We do not use tracers to gather information on your use of
the internet unrelated to Inofile. Please note that Inofile does
not use tracers to identify your personal information, and you
remain anonymous unless and until you choose to register.
Do we collect personal information?
In some cases, Inofile requests personally identifiable
information from you in order to satisfy the underlying transaction
or purpose of your accessing the Site. Examples of personally
identifiable information include names, e-mail addresses, mailing
addresses, and the like. Please note that we do not consider
aggregated information, from which personally identifiable
information has been removed, to be private.
What happens if I register?
Registration may be allowed or required on certain Inofile
-owned sites, including this one. Please refer to the agreements
and policies applicable to the site for which you provide
registration information in order to assure that you understand the
applicable privacy practices. Inofile may collect registration data
in order to monitor compliance with the terms of use governing the
Site and to set up access permissions to certain Inofile -owned
sites.
What security is provided?
We do not treat your general interaction with Inofile.com (e.g.,
submission of suggestions) as confidential. However, the Site may
conduct transactions for which heightened security is appropriate.
For instance, the Site may encrypt your personal information (e.g.,
for transmission of credit card data), so that only appropriate
personnel are able to decode your information. Note that most
Internet browsers also offer security alerts that permit you to
determine whether your transmissions are protected. Please refer to
the agreements and policies applicable to the Inofile -owned Site
for which you provide personal information in order to assure that
you understand applicable security practices.
When would we disclose your information?
We do not rent, sell, or trade any personally identifiable
information about you (e.g., e-mail addresses) to third parties.
The Site may disclose information to third parties assisting us in
processing a transaction requested by you (e.g., credit card
service providers). In order to cooperate with legitimate
governmental requests, subpoenas, or court orders, to protect
Inofile and/or Inofile systems and customers, or to ensure the
integrity and operation of Inofile and/or Inofile business and
systems, Inofile and/or Inofile may access and disclose any
information it considers necessary or appropriate under the
circumstances.
What about children's privacy?
Inofile asks children under 13 not to transmit any information
to the Site. Inofile welcomes the parent or guardian of a child
under the age of 13 to use the Site and provide any information,
service, or product gained from the Site to their child.
What if data is transmitted internationally?
If you are one of our international guests, we realize that you
may want to know whether your personal information will be
transferred out of your country of origin. Please be aware that
when you register or request a transaction on the Site, your
personal data may be transferred to computers in the United States
in order to process your request.
Does this apply to other Sites?
Through Inofile.com, you may link to many networked web pages
and websites operated by Inofile and its subsidiaries and
affiliates. Not all of them have adopted this policy. Individual
sites may adopt different privacy policies that fit transactions
taking place on that site. If a site has its own privacy policy,
the provisions of that policy will control if it conflicts with
this general policy. Also, some Sites are intended to facilitate
interaction with other businesses, and may not adopt a privacy
policy for individuals. Users of those Sites should check with
their employer regarding the employer's arrangements with Inofile
and applicable privacy practices.
What about external links?
For the convenience of our Site visitors, Inofile may provide
links to third party websites that are external to Inofile. These
web sites are not operated or controlled by Inofile, and Inofile is
not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such
external websites.
How do we keep current?
From time to time, Inofile may revise this Privacy Policy at its
discretion. We note the date of the policy below, so you know when
it was last updated. Inofile advises you to check back periodically
to review the Privacy Policy because users of the Site will be
prospectively bound by the then-current version of this Privacy
Policy.
