Last Updated on 2/13/2006- See the “Privacy Related Inquiries and Complaints” Section for more details. This document sets forth the About Time Technologies Online Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) for this web site, www.abouttimetech.com (the “Site”). If you have objections to the Privacy Policy, you should not access or use this Site. This Privacy Policy does not govern privacy practices associated with offline activities or other About Time Technologies web sites. Changes in Privacy Policy Entities Collecting Personal Information The Site contains links to other sites at which personal information is collected. In such instances, unless expressly provided to the contrary, the collection and use of your personal information will be governed by the privacy policy applicable to that site. That privacy policy should identify the entity that is collecting your personal information. Collection of Personal Information When you use the Site, About Time Technologies or third parties authorized by About Time Technologies may also collect certain technical and routing information about your computer to facilitate your use of the Site and its services. For example, we may log environmental variables, such as browser type, operating system, CPU speed, and the Internet Protocol ("IP") address of your computer. We use these environmental variables to facilitate and track your use of the Site and its services. About Time Technologies also uses such environmental variables to measure traffic patterns on the Site. Without expressly informing you in each particular circumstance, we do not match such information with any of your personal information. When you submit personal information to About Time Technologies through this Site, you understand and agree that this information may be transferred across national boundaries and may be stored and processed in any of the countries in which About Time Technologies and its affiliates and subsidiaries maintain offices, including without limitation, the United States. You also acknowledge that in certain countries or with respect to certain activities, the collection, transferring, storage and processing of your information may be undertaken by trusted vendors of About Time Technologies. Such vendors are bound by contract to not use your personal information for their own purposes or provide it to any third parties. One instance where this could occur is in conjunction with framed pages in which the url for the pages is not visible and the pages are being hosted by a vendor of About Time Technologies. About Time Technologies has established relationships with various service providers whose services are available to you from this Site or from web sites that are linked to this Site. Typically, these providers offer services that About Time Technologies customers might find useful, such as those that can be used in conjunction with About Time Technologies services and products. In order to use those services, you may be required to provide personal information to the providers. Unless expressly provided to the contrary, personal information that you provide while you are visiting a provider’s web site will be subject to the privacy policy posted on such site and personal information that you provide while on this Site in conjunction with a provider’s service will be subject to this Privacy Policy. You should be aware that our agreements with these service providers often provide that they will share with About Time Technologies personal information collected from you. In such instances, About Time Technologies may use this information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy. In the situation where sites have an About Time Technologies “look and feel,” and you reasonably believe you are on an About Time Technologies site, the site is collecting information in a solely intermediary capacity and does not use personal information for secondary purposes. In order to reduce errors in our database, authenticate our users and prevent abuse of our system we may on occasion supplement the personal information you submit to us with information from third party sources. For example, we may supplement your registration information with address information provided by the U.S. Postal Service to qualify your information and prevent errors in our database. How your Personal Information is Used About Time Technologies may collect information about the use of the Site; such as the types of services used and how many users we receive daily. This information is collected in aggregate form, without identifying any user individually. About Time Technologies may use this aggregate, non-identifying statistical data for statistical analysis, marketing or similar promotional purposes. Your Choices with Respect to Personal Information There are other instances in which About Time Technologies may divulge your personal information. About Time Technologies may provide your personal information if necessary, in About Time Technologies good faith judgment, to comply with laws or regulations of a governmental or regulatory body or in response to a valid subpoena, warrant or order or to protect the rights of About Time Technologies or others. Protection of Your Personal Information Personal information that you provide that does not constitute Registration Information also resides on a secure server and is only accessible to selected About Time Technologies personnel and contractors via password. Since this information is not accessible by you, you will not be asked to select a password in order to view or modify such information. Use of Cookies Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. (For some Web pages that require an authorization, cookies are not optional. Users choosing not to accept cookies will probably not be able to access those pages.) While About Time Technologies uses cookies to track your visit to www.abouttimetech.com, and our Web servers automatically log the IP/Internet address of your computer, About Time Technologies does not generally use this information to identify you personally. However, if you expressly provide consent for www.abouttimetech.com to "remember" the unique identifier that you select when you register for various activities on the site, that unique identifier will be stored on a cookie on your computer, linked to your registration information, and your navigation path around the site will be tracked. We associate this data to understand how our site and services are being used so we can understand our customers and offer appropriate products and services. In your correspondence, please indicate with as much detail as possible the location on this Site where you provided your personal information. Privacy Related Inquiries and Complaints In your letter, please describe in as much detail as possible the nature of your inquiry or the ways in which you believe that the About Time Technologies Privacy Policy has not been complied with. We will investigate your inquiry or complaint promptly. Please note that if you provide About Time Technologies with inconsistent privacy preferences (for example, by indicating on one occasion that third parties may contact you with marketing offers and indicating on another occasion that they may not), About Time Technologies cannot guarantee that your most recent privacy preference will be honored. Also, please note that About Time Technologies is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of non-About Time Technologies Web Sites to which this Site or any other About Time Technologies Web Site may link. You should review the privacy policy of such sites before using the sites. |
