Privacy Policy
IXACT Contact Solutions Inc. (“we”
or “our”) maintains strict customer information privacy policies
and uses state of the art technologies to safeguard customer information
and communications from unauthorized intrusions. This notice describes
our privacy policy. By visiting www.ixactcontact.com, customer (“you”)
accept the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
On-line privacy concerns focus primarily
on the protection of “customer identifiable personal information”
which an individual reasonably expects to be kept private. As the term
suggests, “customer identifiable personal information” (“Personal
Information”) is information that, when associated with an individual
identifies that individual, for example, your name, address, telephone
number, and e-mail address.
We have put in place the following
Privacy Policy.
Collection and Use: We will collect and
use your Personal Information in connection with the provision of products
and services from our website including: (i) delivery of the services,
(ii) carrying out the transactions you have requested, (iii) for billing
purposes, (iv) in order to communicate with you about new products and
services, promotional offers, and surveys to improve the services, and
(v) to prevent fraud and other prohibited or illegal activities.
This means that we may use your Personal Information, in conjunction
with information available from third parties that enables us to provide
the complete functionality of the services that we provide on our website.
However, we prohibit such third parties from independently marketing
to you using any Personal Information that we provide to them. Other
than as set out above, we will not disclose your Personal Information
to any third parties who want to market products to you.
When you access the Internet, the computers
that host websites you visit (“servers”) automatically receive some
anonymous information. This “usage data” may include a record of
which web pages a web browser has visited. Our servers receive usage
data when customers visit our website, and when our users also visit
other websites. We may use usage data to provide advertising about goods
and services that may be of interest to our customers, or to provide
customized features and services. We will not use information about
your activities on the Internet together with any information that identifies
you without your consent.
We and our advertisers may use various
kinds of software devices to collect information about Internet use.
Small files called “cookies” may be attached to your Web browser.
These files identify your browser and save information such as user
IDs so that websites can recognize you. We use “cookies” to enable
you to sign in to our services and to store your preferences and other
information on your computer in order to save you time by eliminating
the need to repeatedly enter the same information. You can set
your browser to disable cookies, but our website may not work properly
if you do this. For more information about cookies and whether you should
disable them, you should contact our customer support.
Advertisers on ixactContact.com may elect
to use third party advertising companies to serve ads on our website,
and in these instances may use a software technology called clear gifs
(a.k.a. web beacons/web bugs/action tags/pixel tags) to better manage
advertising on our website. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique
identifier, similar in function to cookies. Clear gifs may ping or alert
the advertiser's server about the online movements of web users.
Web beacons help us measure the effectiveness of our website and our
advertising. Web beacons also help us measure the effectiveness of
our e-mail campaigns. The information collected may include some
limited Personal Information, and Web beacons allow us to recognize
users by accessing cookies. We may also combine the information
that we collect through web beacons with other Personal Information
that has been collected from you. All this information is used to better
tailor our advertising and promotions to you. We also use web beacons
in conjunction with one-to-one marketing e-mails sent by our users to
enable them to better track the effectiveness of such e-mails.
We may permit third parties to compile
individual information or aggregated statistics from our use of web
beacons to enable such third parties to determine the effectiveness
of online marketing and to allow such third parties to develop purchasing
or other statistics on the advertiser's site. All aggregate statistical
information is anonymous. We do not share any Personal Information
with such third parties. We do not allow web beacons on our website
from being used by third parties to access your Personal Information.
Disclosure: We may share your Personal
Information with our corporate affiliates to carry out transactions
you request or to make our business or that of our corporate affiliates
more responsive to your needs. We will not sell, trade, or disclose
to third parties any Personal Information derived from the registration
for, or use of, a Company on-line service — including customer names
and addresses — without the consent of the customer (except as required
by court order, subpoena, search warrant, or other legal process or
in the case of imminent physical harm to the customer or others). When
we use other agents, contractors or companies to perform services on
our behalf, we will ensure that we protect your Personal Information
consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Security: We have implemented technology
and security features and strict policy guidelines to safeguard the
privacy of your Personal Information from unauthorized access or improper
use, and we will continue to enhance our security procedures as new
technology becomes available.
E-mail Contents: We will not read or
disclose to third parties private e-mail communications that are transmitted
using our services except as required to operate the service or as otherwise
authorized by law.
Improper Conduct: We may use Personal
Information to investigate and help prevent potentially unlawful activity
or activity that threatens the network or otherwise violates the Website
Subscriber Agreement.
Account Information: Your Personal Information
is available to you in your profile that you created when registering
as a user. Such information is available to you at any time to
validate or correct errors.
Customer Concerns: If you have any concerns
about our on-line Privacy Policy or its implementation, you may contact
us at admin@ixactcontact.com.
Changes in Practices: We will keep this
Privacy Policy current. We will inform you of any changes that we make
by e-mail and will require you to reply providing your acknowledgment
of same.
We will continue to protect your information
derived from our services consistent with the laws of the Province of
Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. You
irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the
Province of Ontario or the Federal Court of Canada, as applicable, with
respect to any matter arising hereunder or related hereto.
