Privacy Policy
Privacy
is an important issue with us. We will not disclose or sell your information
to any third party for the purposes of marketing. However, there are some
circumstances where we may disclose information about you as part of the
normal operation of our site. This Privacy Policy describes the information
we collect about you and what may happen to that information. As described
below, some of your personally identifiable information is disclosed to
third parties and used by us and third parties. By accepting the Terms
of Service for IFLOW (IMC), you expressly
consent to such use and disclosure of your personally identifiable and
other personal information.
Information About You
We ask you to provide information when you register for the IMC services.
This information includes your name, email address, mailing address and
phone numbers.
It is IFLOW's policy to respect the privacy of its members. Although we do
not sell or rent any personally identifiable information about you to
any third party, we may, in certain cases where you access our site from
other third party sites, release your email address to such third party.
We do not disclose certain pieces of information, such as your password
or IFLOW Fax Number. We may aggregate personally identifiable information
and disclose such information to third parties in aggregate for a number
of business purposes, including running and enhancing the services, but
in these situations we do not disclose to other entities any information
that could be used to personally identify you. Also, we may use information
about you to provide you with ads or offers from advertisers that we think
may be relevant to you, but in these cases we do not disclose any personally
identifiable information about you to third parties. On our site and via
email, we may offer you the option to choose to receive electronic information
about topic(s) of interest to you from other companies. If you choose
to receive information from such companies, IFLOW may provide to such
companies your name, email address and other pertinent information if
applicable and the company may contact you directly. These programs are
offered as "opt-in" programs, not as "opt-out" programs,
meaning you will be contacted only if you choose to participate. We will
not pass your name or email address to other companies without your permission,
except as otherwise specified in this Privacy Policy Statement. In the
course of using our site and our services, we automatically track certain
information about you. This information may include the number and source
of fax transmissions, the URL that you just came from (whether this URL
is on our site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is
on our site or not), what browser you are using, and your IP address.
We use this information in the normal operation of the site and we may
disclose this information on an aggregated basis.
We
may use cookies on our site. Cookies are stored on your hard drive, not
on our site. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser
permits, although you may miss out on some shortcuts, automation, special
promotions, certain features such as shopping carts and the like.
If
you send us correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if other users
or third parties send us correspondence about your use of our services,
we may collect such information into a file specific to you. We use information
in the file we maintain about you, and other information we obtain from
your current and past use of the service, to resolve disputes, troubleshoot
problems and enforce our user agreement.
The Content of Your Transmissions
IFLOW acts as a passive conduit for the distribution and receipt of
your fax, email and SMS transmissions and therefore will not monitor,
edit, or disclose the contents of a Member's private communications unless
required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action
is necessary to: (1) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal
process served on IFLOW; (2) protect and defend the rights or property
of IFLOW; or (3) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal
safety of its members or the public. Member should also be aware (and
hereby agrees) that certain technical processing of and access to fax
and email messages and their content, IFLOW may be required to: (a) route
the messages; (b) conform to connecting networks' technical requirements;
(c) conform to the limitations of the Service; or (d) conform to other
similar requirements.
We
use industry-standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your
transmissions (as well as your personally identifiable information), such
as firewalls and SSL technology. These are the same technologies that
most websites use to safeguard credit card information and other personal
information. However, that said, "perfect security" does not
exist on the Internet (or anywhere, for that matter.)
Your Email Address
As part of our service, we will send to you notice of incoming fax transmissions,
reports of fax, email and SMS broadcast, but in addition we may send to
you periodic emails containing information about us, updates on new service
features, service usage tips, information about third party services that
are likely to be of interest to our members, and member satisfaction questions.
For now, we think we will send about 1-2 such email(s) per month. If you
do not want to receive these emails, at any time you can cancel your service
notifying us via email that you wish to cancel your account. In addition
to the periodic emails, we may use your email address to send you administrative
notices about your account (such as notices about pending activities).
Third Party Collectors of Information
Our policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we
collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your information to
other parties, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of
the personal information you disclose to them. To the extent that we use
third party advertisers, they adhere to their own privacy customs and
policies. In some instances we use third party providers of service who
may collect information on our behalf in order to fulfill a service. In
those instances, the use of your information is for service fulfillment
only. However, the information provided may be used by the third party
in aggregate. Since we do not control the privacy policies of third parties,
we encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information
to others. View 3rd Party Privacy Statements.
Nondisclosure Can't Be Guaranteed
Unfortunately (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this policy),
due to the existing regulatory and technical environment, we cannot guarantee
that all of your communications and other personally identifiable information
will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy
Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be
forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under
certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access
your transmissions or communications. Further, we can (and you authorise
us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other
government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary
or appropriate. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices
to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect,
that your personally identifiable information or communications will remain
private.
