Privacy Policy
Intelways LLC. respects your right to privacy. We understand the sensitive nature of privacy issues and the company takes measures to ensure that the confidentiality of our clients and web users is protected. Intelways LLC. does not distribute, sell, or rent any of the information collected about our website users or clients. Coverage Third-Party Search Results Links to Other Sites Cookies COOKIES: A cookie is a small piece of data that is delivered to your computers' hard drive when you visit a site run by Intelways LLC., or that includes advertisements or search results served by us on another site. No personal information is stored within the cookie. It is an anonymous piece of data that simply identifies your computers' IP address by assigning it a unique number. It does not identify you, personally, but rather it identifies your computer as a "unique user." By identifying your computer as a unique user, cookies let us know when you return to our site, or when you view the same advertisement repeatedly. In doing so, we can use the cookie to limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement, to avoid frustration. Intelways LLC. can also use the information stored in the cookie to serve more relevant advertising to your computer. In a more general scope, cookies permit Intelways LLC. to gauge the reach of an advertising campaign, the number of times an advertisement or search result is displayed, searched for or clicked on, how often a unique user visits our sites or partners' sites, and how they're interacting with them. Overall, cookies permit us to track user trends, preferences and patterns. You can choose to accept or refuse cookies by changing the settings of your browser. Or, you can opt to be warned before a cookie is deposited on your computer. It should be noted, however, that some features or services offered by Intelways LLC. might not work properly if cookies are turned off. You can also choose to periodically delete cookies from your computers' hard drive, clearing out all historical data that may have been saved from your previous web surfing. If you delete cookies, you will not be recognized as a repeat visitor or viewer when returning to a site, or being exposed to advertisements. Information Collected ANONYMOUS: When a user visits Intelways.com, they leave a "trail" of electronic information, which is collected and stored on our servers. This information, often referred to as traffic, or click-stream, data is not personally identifiable nor is it possible to combine with any kind of identifiable information we may collect from you by other means (see Personally Identifiable Information, below). Rather, click-stream data consists of very limited and specific information about your computer, your browser, and its activities. For example: your computer's IP address, its operating system, the type and version of your browser, the date and time, the length of time spent on each page, search terms, results or advertisements clicked upon, and referral data. This anonymous information is used to monitor our traffic and servers, as well as to screen for fraudulent behavior or abnormalities. It is also used to compile statistics and perform research by analyzing it in aggregate form, which in turn helps us to improve our services and offerings to both users of our sites and services. PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION: In certain limited circumstances, Intelways LLC. may gain access to your personally identifiable information. This information is made available to Intelways LLC. voluntarily, when a user or potential client specifically and knowingly provides it to us, in order to correspond with us, or to receive a service they've requested. 1. Correspondence: When a site user or potential client gives comments, questions, information requests, or feedback to Intelways LLC. by phone, mail, or email (either directly or through one of our online forms) and includes an email address and/or contact information, Intelways LLC. will use this information in order to respond. The contact information provided, however, is not stored in any kind of database. It is only maintained as a record of past correspondence, either in the responders' files or sent items in their email software. 2. Special Offers: When you participate in special offers, contests, or surveys, the collection of contact information is often required for registration, and for winner notification. In some instances, these are co-sponsored and so your information will be shared with that particular partner. Please note, that some contests or services advertised on or through Intelways LLC., by either search or graphic advertisers, may require personal contact information in order to enter or register. This information is not shared with Intelways LLC., and these advertisers are not covered by this privacy policy (please see Links to Other Sites, above) although they may adhere to their own similar policies. 3. Registration/Application for Services: Advertisers or site owners who wish to advertise through Intelways LLC. will be requested to provide personally identifiable and financial information in order to participate in these programs. The collection of this information is part of regular business practices and is necessary in order to complete transactions and properly run and administer these services. Should anyone be uncomfortable providing this information to Intelways LLC., they can choose not to participate. Information collected during the registration or application processes, include: company name, name, email, physical address, and phone number. Advertisers may also be asked to provide credit card information in order to process and authorize payments to Intelways LLC. for services rendered, and publishers may be asked to provide either their Social Security Number or Federal Tax ID Number in order to receive payments for impressions or clicks delivered on their sites. Overall, personally identifiable information of Intelways LLC. clients is used for administrative needs, to maintain account information, and to process billing and payments. Unsolicited Contact & Communication We, however, may occasionally wish to communicate with our customers in order to provide them with information relevant to the services we provide or the management of their accounts. This might include newsletters, or notices of new services or offers from Intelways LLC. or selected partners that could be of interest. In addition, we will provide clients with their initial activation and welcome email, service and system updates, account and balance warnings, confirmation emails, and quality approval notifications. As part of our service, our Customer Service Department routinely communicates with members by phone or email to respond to questions or issues relating to their account, or to offer optimization services. We may also solicit some of our clients from time to time, either online or by email, to participate in client surveys. Participation in these surveys is voluntary, and the information collected provides Intelways LLC. with valuable feedback on our services, which in turn, helps us to improve them. Information Sharing Your personally identifiable information, submitted during your registration or application, is shared only with third party companies who provide Intelways LLC. with administrative services required to conduct business with our clients and provide them with the services they have signed up for. Examples include: technical consultants; third-party credit card processing; credit checks; money transfers and auditing. Under no circumstances do these service partners or Intelways LLC. disclose any of your personally identifiable information, unless we are obligated to do so by law (due to a court order, subpoena, etc), or to protect Intelways LLC., our users, or the general public. Intelways LLC. may identify some of our clients as current or past advertisers or publishers on gallery pages on the Intelways LLC. website. Identification of our clients will be in the form of their business identity, or brand, only. Security Clients' personally identifiable information is password protected and restricted within our organization to employees that need access to this information in order to correspond with you, operate the website or a particular service.
