We reserve the right to change our policy from time to
time as we deem appropriate in our sole discretion.
Kinds of Information
There are two kinds of information web sites can obtain
about you:
1. Aggregate Information: Aggregate Information is anonymous
data that web sites use to diagnose problems on the sites'
servers, administer the sites, and to help improve the quality
of the Web pages. It may be your domain name (i.e. "XYZ.com")
or your IP address.
2. Personally Identifiable Information: Personally Identifiable
Information is any information that personally identifies
you. It can be your first and last name, your email address,
your home address, your telephone number, etc. Sometimes
this personal information is needed when you order products
online or subscribe to an email newsletter. Other times,
web sites collect this information to help target advertising
and marketing.
We Collect Aggregate Information – such as your IP address
(a number that's automatically assigned to your computer
whenever you're surfing the Internet), browser type (e.g.,
Netscape or Internet Explorer), and domain (e.g., "XYZ.com").
We do this in the background so it does not interrupt your
web browsing speed. We use this information to help diagnose
problems with our servers, to administer our site, and to
gather broad demographic information. We share Aggregate
Information with third parties for advertising and promotional
purposes. None of this information is connected with Personally
Identifiable Information. So, when you enter our site, you
are anonymous and will remain that way unless you choose
otherwise by registering or logging in.
Cookies
We may use cookies to remember your login information so
that you can maintain a customized view of Unobi Technologies
showing your personal information. We may also use cookies
when we conduct polls, surveys, chat rooms and contests
to limit multiple responses and registrations.
We will never use cookies to retrieve information from your
computer that was not originally sent by us to you in a
cookie. We do not use information transferred through cookies
for any promotional or marketing purposes.
You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers and
our vendors. We do not control these cookies, and these
cookies are not subject to our privacy policy. The use of
advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is standard
in the Internet industry.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you'd
prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies or to alert
you when cookies are being sent. However, it is possible
that some parts of the site, such as the polls, surveys,
contest, and game areas, and member login, will not function
properly if you do so.
Surveys and Registration Forms
Sometimes Unobi Technologies posts surveys and registration
forms in which we ask for Personally Identifiable Information.
Here are some ways we might use that information:
1. To send you information about Unobi Technologies and
this Web site
2. To give to our content partners, who may send you promotional
material
3. To give to our advertisers, who may send you information
about their products and services
The choice is yours - you do not have to answer surveys
or register for newsletters or service. If you choose to
answer the survey or complete the registration, we will
tell you on the survey or registration form how we will
use the Personally Identifiable Information. If we are asking
for optional information, we will not mark it with an asterisk
(*) so you know you can skip it if you want. And on that
same page we will give you a way to "opt out"
of being contacted by Unobi Technologies and any third parties.
We may share Personally Identifiable Information with Unobi
Technologies affiliates and other sites operated by Unobi
Technologies and its affiliates.
Contests and Sweepstakes
From time to time we run contests and sweepstakes in which
we ask for Personally Identifiable Information such as your
name, email address or telephone number. That's so we can
let you know if you win. Sometimes we request additional
Personally Identifiable Information such as your age, gender,
and income level. And once in a while - though not often
- we require this additional information in exchange for
allowing you to enter the contest. Here are some of the
ways we might use the information that we collect:
1. To notify you if you are a winner
2. To send you information about Unobi Technologies and
our site
3. To give to content partners, who may send you promotional
email
4. To give to advertisers, who may send you emails about
their products and services
We may share Aggregate Information with our partners and
advertisers. We will not share your Personally Identifiable
Information with third parties unless we tell you otherwise
when asking for it. We will give you a way to "opt
out" of being contacted by Unobi Technologies and any
third parties. We may share Personally Identifiable Information
with Unobi Technologies affiliates and other sites operated
by Unobi Technologies and its affiliates.
If you win one of our contests or sweepstakes, we will not
publish your name, hometown, or other Personally Identifiable
Information on the Site unless you have given us your permission
with the understanding we may do this.
Opt Out
If we ask you for Personally Identifiable Information, we
will tell you if we intend to share it with others. We will
provide you with a way to tell us that you don't want us
to share the information or if you don't want to receive
promotional and/or marketing information about products,
services, and offerings from Unobi Technologies and/or any
third parties. Let us know and we will use your name and
address only to tell you if you win a contest.
Subpoenas and Law Enforcement Agencies
We reserve the right to cooperate with government and law
enforcement agencies engaged in investigations of activities
that are, or are believed to be, illegal. Further, we may
share your Personally Identifiable Information with such
agencies if we believe that a crime or any act that endangers
the health and safety of others may have been or may be
committed. We may also share your Personally Identifiable
Information in response to an appropriate subpoena.
Community and Public Area
Information posted to message boards or chat areas may be
available to the general public. Please use caution when
posting any such information. Users under the age of 18
should be particularly careful not to provide any personally
identifying information while using chat rooms or message
boards. We reserve the right to, but are not obligated to,
refuse or delete any content that in our sole discretion
is considered inappropriate. Please see our Terms of Service
for additional information.
Feedback and Email
On every portal page at Unobi Technologies there is a link
to a "feedback" or "contact" email form
so you may comment, make a complaint, offer suggestions,
and ask questions. Your email address is required on this
form so we can answer your questions, and we want your name,
too, so we can address our answer in a mannerly way. We
may also track your browser type and referring URL to better
diagnose technical issues you may be having. We do not share
this information with third parties and we will use it only
to answer your correspondence.
Unobi Technologies Affiliates
Unobi Technologies has a unique relationship with some of
our affiliates. If you are interested in local information,
we will give you the option to choose a local affiliate
or enter a zip code. We asked for this information so that
your view of the site could be "branded" to our
local affiliate, or to any other affiliate you choose. You
may see their logo at the top of your screen. Some of our
affiliates provide their own content, such as local events.
This content may be mixed with the content we produce. And
some affiliates sell ads or run events that will appear
on their branded sites only.
We are not responsible for content or contests posted by
our affiliates or for the use of any information that an
affiliate may collect.
We use reasonable efforts to require that all content on
our site conforms to our privacy policy. But we do not control,
and we are not responsible for, the content or privacy policies
of our affiliates.
Links To Other Sites
When you visit our site, you may be directed to other sites
outside our service. For example, if you click on a banner
advertisement, you will leave our site. This includes links
to sites operated by advertisers, sponsors and partners
that may use our logo as part of an agreement with us. These
other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect
data, or solicit personal information. These other sites
are not subject to our privacy policy and we are not responsible
for the privacy policies for these other sites, nor for
the use of any information that these sites may collect.
Unobi Technologies Event Registration
The Unobi Technologies Event Registration, at times, may
use a third-party fulfillment house to accept registrations
for Unobi Technologies events organized online. Names, street
addresses, and other information is required to complete
these registrations, and may also be used to contact participants
about their registration as necessary. However, Unobi Technologies
shares this information with third parties. Please be aware
of the privacy policy on these sites, as we have no control
over their practices.
Deleting or Modifying Your Information
If you've given us personally identifiable information in
the past and then have second thoughts or want to update
it, here are your choices:
Email to privacy@unobi.com.
Regular mail to:
Privacy Coordinator
Unobi Technologies
PO Box 621284
Charlotte NC 28262
Although it is not always possible to remove or modify
information in the databases, we will make reasonable efforts
to do so. If you've given us information for one of those
third parties we mentioned above and we've already passed
it on, we cannot delete or change the information. We can
assist in contacting these third parties as we see fit.
Security of Private Information
Any personal information you give us is kept in secure files.
Access is limited to the few employees who have a need to
know. We would like to tell you that your information is
as safe with us as it is in your head, but, as hackers have
proved worldwide, no computer security system is entirely
foolproof. The most any web site can do is make reasonable
efforts, which is what we do at Unobi Technologies, to protect
your information from theft, misuse and alteration.
