Impact Network Engineering :
· Provides a link to this privacy statement on all pages that ask for
personal information
· Will not store or release personal identifying information about you
without first obtaining consent
· Will not knowingly collect or use personal identifying information
from children younger than 13 without parental consent.
This privacy statement discloses our practices for the gathering and use of information from visitors to our own Impact Network Engineering web site, (www.impact-services.com), from people who register for services that we offer online.
Registration information may be used
in several ways:
· To enable us to process, validate and verify service requests
· To provide advertisers with aggregate--never individual--information
about our registrants and aggregate usage patterns
· To give our own Web site designers information that's useful for developing
new features and services that meet registrants' needs
· To allow us to potentially vary the advertising that registrants see
based on their volunteered preferences
· To tailor the registrant's experience on our site, showing them content
we think might interest them or altering the content according to their preferences.
If you "opt out" we will
not send you unsolicited advertising or direct mail, but if you choose to do
so, you may provide us with information about your interests and allow us to
contact you regarding products or services that may interest you. The "opt
out" choices are made available during each individual registration process.
We do use return e-mail addresses to answer the e-mail we receive, but such
e-mail addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with
third parties.
Impact Network Engineering may share aggregate statistical information gathered
from the registration process with advertisers, business partners, sponsor or
other third parties, but none of them receive individual identifying information
about you collected at our site. For example, we may tell an advertiser that
X number of visitors visited a certain area on a Web site or that Y number of
men and Z number of women filled out registration forms, but we would not disclose
anything that would identify those individuals. We share this information only
on an aggregate, anonymous basis and never on an individual basis.
We do not merge or enhance information you give us with information obtained
from third parties.
In case you change your mind about information you have given us or if some
of it has changed, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove
personal information you have given us. You can do this by following the opt-out
procedures described below or by contacting us at info@impact-services.com
•Cookies
The Impact Network Engineering service uses cookies. We use cookies to deliver
content specific to your interests, and to recognize you when you visit our
service. Your browser offers so-called "cookies", which--if you allow
their use--store small amounts of data on your computer about your visit. Cookies
assist us in tracking which of our features you like best. And when you re-visit,
cookies can enable us to customize our content according to your preferences.
However, cookies tell us nothing about you personally unless you specifically
give us additional information.
We do not use cookies to identify, monitor or track any personally identifiable
information. Our cookies in and of themselves do not contain any personally
identifiable information about you. We do not merge or associate our cookie
information with any personally identifiable information obtained by us or from
third parties.
You also have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser preferences,
you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set,
or to reject all cookies. However, if you reject some or all cookies, your experience
at our site and on other sites throughout the World Wide Web may not be complete.
Some sites require cookies to function, such as those with e-commerce features.
In addition, if you do not allow cookies, you will not be able to take advantage
of personalized content delivery offered by us.
•IP Addresses
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number assigned to your computer whenever
you surf the Web. An Internet Service Provider randomly assigns the IP address
at the time of dial-up. For other local area network (LAN) or cable modem users,
the IP address may be permanently assigned to a particular computer or other
device connected to the network. Anytime you connect to a site on the Internet,
the computers communicating with each other exchange IP addresses. IP addresses
can tell things like what part of the world you're connecting from, or which
Internet Service Provider you are using.
We collect IP addresses for system administration and to report aggregate information.
We may use your IP address to:
· Help diagnose problems with our servers
· Administer our/your Web sites
· Help identify your Internet service provider
· Gather broad, anonymous information.
We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a user's computer session is logged, but the computer user remains anonymous. Some services we may offer, such as chat rooms or forums may from time to time display the participant's IP address along with the message poster's user name (which may be real or fictional by choice).
•Other Information
Through our technology, we also collect and accumulate other anonymous data
that helps us understand and analyze the Internet experience of our visitors.
For example, we accumulate visitor data relating to the type of browsers used,
types of modems, modem speeds, operating system software (e.g. Windows 95 vs.
98), screen resolutions, color capabilities and JavaScript enabling. None of
this information is personally identifiable and we only share this information
in the aggregate, reflecting overall Web site or Internet usage trends.
Other Sites: This privacy policy applies only to Impact Network Engineering
. Users of our site should be aware that through links they could be directed
to other sites that we do not control. For example, if you click on a banner
advertisement or on a search result or ranked site, the click takes you off
the Impact Network Engineering site and sends you to a site controlled and operated
by a third party. These sites may send you cookies, collect your personal information
or provide offensive content. Impact Network Engineering has no control over
the privacy policies or practices of these other sites, and Impact Network Engineering
is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of Web sites to
which we link, list, rank or identify by means of a search. Impact Network Engineering
takes no responsibility for the products, services, policies or actions of third
parties or the content of third party Web sites. In addition, Impact Network
Engineering will not censor or edit the content of sites on the World Wide Web.
We encourage you to be aware when you are leaving our sites and to read the
privacy policies of each Web site you visit.
•Security
Our site has physical, electronic and managerial security measures in place
to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.
We use secure servers with encryption for certain transactions and confidential
data. We maintain a firewall to protect data within our local area network and
our servers are maintained in secured access, locked facilities.
In addition, for some of our services, you will be provided with passwords.
We recommend you do not divulge your password to anyone. Impact Network Engineering
will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited telephone call or e-mail.
You are responsible for the secrecy of your passwords.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network
can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect
your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information
you transmit, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission,
we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. You can report
network abuse and any risk of security violations to us by e-mailing info@impact-services.com
•Legal Disclosures of Information
EXCEPT UNDER THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES, Impact Network Engineering WILL NOT
SHARE YOUR PERSONALLY IDENTIFABLE INFORMATION WITH A THIRD PARTY WITHOUT YOUR
PRIOR CONSENT. There are a limited number of situations where we may disclose
your personal information to others without first receiving your consent: (1)
when legally ordered to do so by a lawful subpoena or court order, (2) if you
violate or breach an agreement with us, (3) if we believe conduct by you will
harm the property or rights of Impact Network Engineering or those of Impact
Network Engineering 's users, or (4) under exigent circumstances to protect
the physical safety of Impact Network Engineering , its employees, users or
the general public.
