Obvio Communications, Inc. ("Obvio") is a
leading provider of Web and Phone Conferencing services. We have developed
this Web site (the "Obvio Site") to provide you with access to our services.
We understand your need for privacy when using the Web for your
communication. This policy discloses Obvio's practices with respect to the
collection, use and disclosure of user information collected through the
Obvio Site and through your use of Obvio services.
POLICIES
Notice
We will ask you to provide us with information that
personally identifies you or allows us to contact you ("Personal
Information") when, among other things, you register on the Obvio Site,
use one of our services, fill out a survey, make a request for information,
or enter a sweepstakes or contest through the Obvio Site. We will use the
Personal Information that you provide us in these circumstances to operate
the Obvio Site, to provision, deliver, bill and collect for services as well
as provide information that you request from the Obvio Site ("Primary Use").
Unless you instruct us not to do so, Obvio
may also use the Personal Information that you provide us to contact you
regarding additional or new services and features offered by Obvio, special
offers by Obvio, or important information regarding Obvio ("Obvio
Secondary Use"). In addition, with your permission, we may provide your
Personal Information to other companies who may contact you regarding
products, services, and offers that may be of interest to you, but that are
not directly related to Obvio or the Obvio Site ("Third Party Secondary
Use").
Choice
As we
noted in the section above, we will not use your Personal Information for
any Third Party Secondary Uses unless you affirmatively choose to
participate in such Secondary Uses. You may also stop the delivery of
informational or promotional mail from us by following the instructions
included in the informational or promotional mail itself.
Access
When you register to use
any of the services offered by Obvio, Obvio will send you a confirmation of
your registration showing the Personal Information that we obtained from
your registration. Also, whenever possible, we will take reasonable steps to
give you the opportunity to confirm and/or modify your Personal Information.
Security
The Personal Information
that we collect from you is stored in secure operating environments that are
not available to the general public. In the case of credit card numbers and
other financial information, your Personal Information is encrypted for even
greater protection. However, the other sites that you may access through the
Obvio Site may have different security practices and you should familiarize
yourself with those practices.
Complaints
If at any time you
believe that we have violated any of these Policies, please notify us by
email at
info@obvioweb.com
and we will use all commercially reasonable efforts to promptly investigate
and remedy the problem.
Disclosure for Legal Purposes
We
may disclose Personal Information if required to do so by law or in the
good-faith belief that such action is necessary: (a) to conform to the
edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on us or our
affiliates, (b) to protect and defend our rights or property or those of our
users, (c) to act immediately to protect the personal safety of our users or
the public, or (d) in connection with a merger, consolidation or sale of
substantial assets of Obvio. As we continue to develop our business, we
might buy or sell assets related to our business. In such transactions
Personal Information generally is one of the transferred business assets.
Also, in the event that Obvio or substantially all of its assets are
acquired, Personal Information will be one of the transferred assets.
Anonymous Information
Please
understand that, in addition to collecting Personal Information, Obvio will
also gather information that does not personally identify you regarding your
use of the Obvio Site ("Anonymous Information"). The Anonymous
Information that we collect regarding your use of the Obvio Site may be used
by us to measure the effectiveness of marketing efforts on the Obvio Site,
for improving the services we offer to you, or to share with third parties
for other purposes. For example, we might use this Anonymous Information to
inform our advertisers how many users visited a particular advertisement,
and for how long, so they can measure whether the advertisement was
effective. Generally, you will not be aware when such Anonymous Information
is being collected about you - it may be collected in various ways, such as
through traffic data or direct surveys of our customers and may entail the
use of, among other things, cookies, IP addresses, or other numeric codes
used to identify a computer by which a user accesses our site or used to
identify other devices by which a user may access our services.
Cookies
We use cookies to provide
you with better service. Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site
transfers to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. Cookies
can make the Web more useful by storing information about your preferences
for a particular site. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and many
major Web sites use them to provide useful features for their customers.
Cookies in and of themselves do not personally identify users, although they
do identify a user's computer. Most browsers are initially set to accept
cookies. If you prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies. However,
you may not be able to take full advantage of the functionality of the Obvio
Site or services if you do so.
Venturing Off the Obvio Site
The
Obvio Site may contain ad banners and hyperlinks that can take you to Web
sites run by other third parties ("Third-Party Sites"). Obvio has no control
over how such Third-Party Sites will treat your Personal Information, and
the terms of the privacy policies of such Third-Party Sites may differ from
the terms of this Privacy Policy. Accordingly, Obvio strongly recommends
that you review the terms of the privacy policy at each Third-Party Site
that you choose to visit before providing any Personal Information to that
site.
Remember, this Privacy Policy only
applies to the Obvio Site. When you are no longer on the Obvio site, you may
encounter different privacy and security practices and you should
familiarize yourself with those practices each time you visit a new site. |
