The HMOZ system is committed
to maintaining your confidence and trust, and
accordingly maintains the following privacy policy to protect personal
information you provide online.
Basic Confidentiality Policy
It is HMOZ policy that personal information, such as your name,
postal and
e-mail address or telephone number, is private and confidential.
Accordingly, the personal information you provide is stored in a
secure
location, is accessible only by designated staff, and is used only
for the
purposes for which you provide the information (such as to reply
to your
request or to handle your complaint).
If you also indicate on our sites that you would like to receive
information
about other HMOZ programs and services, such as technical support,
specialist training or business news letters, your personal information
will
be added to appropriate HMOZ mailing lists. You can indicate your
desire
when completing a request form or when you send us e-mail. If at
any time
you change your mind and would like to add or remove your name from
the HMOZ mailing list, or correct your personal information, please
email us at
[email protected].
No Release of Information to Third Parties
Personal information will not be released to third parties except
if release
is required by law. There are no other circumstances under which
we will
provide or sell personal information to third parties.
Links
Our web sites contain links to other sites. HMOZ is not responsible
for the privacy practices or content of such other sites. We encourage
our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy
statements of each web site to which we may link that may collect
personally identifiable information.
Children
HMOZ.com is not structured to attract children. Accordingly, we
do not intend to collect Personal Information from anyone we know
to be under 13 years of age. If we discover we have received any
information from a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we
will delete that information immediately.
No Computer Tracking of Identifiable Information
Our computer is not set up to track, collect or distribute personal
information about its visitors. It does recognize the home server
of
visitors, but not e-mail addresses. For example, we can tell which
Internet
Service Provider our visitors use, but not the names, addresses
or other
information about our visitors that would allow us to identify the
particular visitors to our sites. This information is used only
for internal
purposes by HMOZ technical support staff.
In addition, our web sites track information about the visits to
our web
sites. For example, we compile statistics that show the daily number
of
visitors to our sites, the daily requests we receive for particular
files on
our web sites, and what countries those requests come from. These
aggregated
statistics are used internally to better provide services to the
public and
may also be provided to others, but again, the statistics contain
no
personal information and cannot be used to gather such information.
How long information is retained
We destroy the information we collect when the purpose for which
it was provided has been fulfilled unless we are required to keep
it longer by statute, policy or both.
