- What Personal Information About Customers Does UVQ
Gather?
-
Information You Give Us:
We receive and may store any information you enter on our Web site or give
us in any other way. We may use the information that you provide for such
purposes as responding to your requests, providing our services (e.g.,
domain name registration, DNS hosting), and communicating with you.
- Automatic Information:
We receive and may store certain types of information whenever you interact
with us. For example, like many Web sites, we may use "cookies," and we may
obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses our
sites. Examples of the information we collect and analyze include the
Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the
Internet; computer and connection information such as browser type and
version, operating system, and platform; the full Uniform Resource Locators
(URL) click stream to, through, and from our Web site, including date and
time. We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track
user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
- What About Cookies?
- Cookies are alphanumeric
identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web
browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser. Besides using the
information as described above, UVQ may utilizes cookies to control the flow
of the ordering processes by maintaining the state of your online
transactions.
Some of our business partners may use cookies on our site (for example,
advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.
- Does UVQ Share the Information It Receives?
Yes, we do share information but only as described below.
Otherwise we will not provide your personal information without your consent.
-
WHOIS: We will eventually be required by the
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"), the
organization that assumes responsibility for domain name allocation, to
collect information about you during the domain name registration process.
This information includes your full name, mailing address, phone number,
email address, and, where provided, your facsimile number. ICANN then
requires all registrars to make your full name, mailing address, phone
number, email address, and, where provided, your facsimile number, as well
as the creation and expiration dates of your domain name registration and
the name server information associated with your domain name, to the public
via an interactive Web page and a "port 43" WHOIS service. For the purposes
of this Privacy Notice we will refer to this information as your "WHOIS
Information." Please note that we may not be able to control how members of
the public may use the WHOIS Information.
-
Advertisers: We may share aggregated
demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not
linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.
-
Partners: We may partner with other parties to
provide specific services. When the user signs up for these services, we may
share names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third
party to provide these services.
-
Agents: We engage other companies and
individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include processing
credit card payments, providing marketing assistance, providing customer
services, sending postal mail and email to you, removing repetitive
information from customer lists, and analyzing data. These persons have
access to personal information needed to perform their functions. These
companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable
information that you provide to UVQ for any secondary purposes.
-
Service Providers: We engage other companies
and individuals to perform enhanced services on our behalf. For example, we
may engaged companies to provide free electronic mail services to our domain
name registrants. In addition, certain of our enhanced services require that
we contact Internet directories and various search engines on your behalf.
Many of our service providers have access to personal information needed to
perform their services. These parties are not allowed to use personally
identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.
-
Business Transfer: As we continue to develop
our business, we might sell or buy businesses or their assets. In such
transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred
business assets. Also, if UVQ, or all or substantially all of its assets
were ever to be acquired, customer information will of course be one of the
transferred assets.
- Compliance:
We release account and other personal information when we believe release is
appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our Services Agreement and
other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of UVQ, our
users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies
and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
- How Secure Is Information About Me?
- We work to protect the security of
your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
software, which encrypts information you input and the information we may
send to our agents.
- UVQ has gone to great lengths to
ensure your information is securely obtained and held in compliance with the
Card Holder Information Security Program. For example, we encrypt your
credit card number before it is stored in our database. This ensures that no
one may access your credit card from our system.
- It is
important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password
and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared
computer.
