Useful Networks Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes the privacy polices and practices of Useful Networks, Inc. (“Useful”) regarding the Useful-Networks.com Web site, http://www.Useful-Networks.com// (the “Web site”)

Information Useful Collects from the Web Site.

When Customers and others visit the Web site, Useful collects the visitor’s IP address (the unique set of numbers used to identify the visitor’s computer), and his or her registered domain or home server. Useful also collects information pertaining to the visitor’s operating system, browser version, referring site, and keywords used to locate the Web site.

Useful, its contractors and other third parties that help Useful provide the Services or the Web site (“Useful’s agents”) may use “cookies” to improve visitors’ experience at the Web site. A “cookie” is a small file placed on a Web site visitor’s computer hard drive that identifies the computer and data about the visit so that, when the visitor returns to the site, the site recognizes the visitor, which allows Useful to tailor its site to the visitor. Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information but may be linked to Personal Information that visitors provide to Useful. Advertisers that place ads on the Web site may use their own cookies. Any information collected by advertisers is not subject to this Privacy Policy.

Useful may use Web beacons, also known as “Web bugs.” Web beacons are typically small (1x1 pixel) graphic files placed on Web pages and other electronic documents that are often the same color as the background of Web page or other file. Web beacons can collect the IP address of the computer that the Web beacon is sent to, the URL of the page the Web beacon comes from, and the time the Web beacon was viewed. Useful does not place Web beacons that link to Personal Information on other sites, nor does Useful permit third parties, other than those working on Useful’s behalf, to place them on Useful’s site. Useful may use Web beacons on the Useful Web site and may link a particular beacon to Personal Information.

If a visitor requests information or orders products or services from Useful by sending Useful an e-mail or by filling out a registration form on the Web site, Useful may save the visitor’s e-mail address and any other information that the visitor provides. This information may be used by Useful to provide services or products the visitor requests and to contact the visitor in the future by mail, by e-mail, or by phone to convey information about Useful's services. Such information also allows Useful to respond to visitors’ inquiries concerning career opportunities at Useful. Visitors will always be provided with the option not to be contacted or to unsubscribe if they register with the site.

How to Access and Correct Information Obtained by Useful.

A Customer may obtain a copy of the Personal Information and the information collected from the Web site that Useful has regarding that Customer by emailing a request for a copy of that information to info@useful-networks.com or by sending a letter to 1670 Broadway, Suite 825, Denver, CO 80202 USA. Useful will make a good faith effort to mail the information to the Customer at the address previously provided by the Customer if Useful is supplied with sufficient information to allow it to confirm the identity of the person making the request. If any of the information regarding the Customer is inaccurate, the Customer may send corrected information and a request that Useful correct its records to privacy@zoombak.com. Useful will make the correction if Useful is supplied with sufficient information to allow it to confirm the identity of the person making the request.

How Information Is Secured.

Useful uses a variety of physical, technical, and procedural safeguards to guard against loss, misuse, and alteration of Personal and Location Information. For example, Location Information transmitted from Devices to Useful is encrypted; access to Personal Information is limited to Useful and contractor personnel who need the information to provide the Services; and Useful uses and requires its contractors to use technical measures to guard against unauthorized access to Personal and Location Information. Useful also requires Customers to use user identification and passwords to access Personal and Location Information. Similarly, when visitors to the Web site conduct payment card transactions with Useful, Useful uses procedures required by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards.

Useful cannot, however, guarantee the security of any Personal or Location Information, or information collected from the Web site. Despite Useful’s efforts to secure such information, it may be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by a breach of Useful’s physical, technical, and procedural safeguards. Customers use the Services and visitors use the Web site at their own risk. If Useful learns that a Customer’s Personal or Location Information has been disclosed to an unauthorized person, Useful will attempt to notify the Customer.

How Useful Uses Customers’ and Web site Visitors’ Information.

Useful uses each Customer’s Personal and Location Information to provide Services to that Customer. Useful does not collect information of any kind other than to provide such Services. Useful does not currently share, sell, or rent any Personal or Location Information or information collected from the Web site to any third parties, other than to Useful’s agents, and does not intend to do so in the future.

Right to opt-out: Any Customer who does not want Useful to share, sell, or rent any Personal or Location Information or information collected from the Web site to any third parties, other than Useful’s agents has the right to opt-out of such potential information sharing. To request that such information not be shared, a Customer should either send an email to info@useful-networks.com or send a letter to Useful Networks, Inc., 1670 Broadway, Suite 825, Denver, CO 80202 USA.

Useful may share Personal Information, Location Information, and information collected from the Web site with Useful’s agents, corporate affiliates, or advisors who help Useful operate and improve its business. Useful has entered into written agreements with its agents, corporate affiliates, and advisors to which it discloses Personal Information, Location Information, and information collected from the Web site that requires them to adhere to pertinent provisions of this Privacy Policy and the Safe Harbor Principles issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce, which are available at http://www.export.gov/safeharbor/SH_Privacy.asp). Useful also prohibits its agents, corporate affiliates, and advisors from using any information disclosed to them by Useful for purposes other than implementing Useful’s instructions.

Useful may use Aggregate Data to analyze how Customers use the Services to determine ways in which Useful can improve the Services and to consider offering new services to Customers. Useful may also use information collected from the Web site to analyze traffic to the Web site to determine how to improve the site. Useful may also use information from a Web beacon to ensure that a Customer can move between Useful’s technical assistance Web page, the Customer service page, and Useful’s online store and still be recognized as the same Customer.

Useful may use or disclose Personal and Location Information and information collected from the Web site: to comply with applicable laws; to protect the rights and property of Useful or others; to protect a person’s safety; to prevent abuse; as evidence in legal proceedings; to cooperate with properly authorized law enforcement investigations; and in response to subpoenas from third parties. Useful will use good faith efforts to promptly notify a Customer of any subpoena that seeks any of the Customer’s Personal or Location Information to enable the Customer to seek to quash the subpoena. Finally, Useful may disclose or sell Personal Information and information collected from the Web site as an asset in conjunction with the sale of Useful to a third party or in conjunction with the sale of a portion of Useful’s assets.

Children’s Information.

Useful recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of children. Useful will not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children. Personal Information collected from a Customer must be information from an adult.

Consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, the Web site is not directed to children under the age of thirteen. When a visitor to the Web site discloses information on the Web site, the visitor represents that he or she is an adult. If a child visits the Web site and provides his or her personally identifiable information, Useful will delete that child’s information from its records at the request of the child’s parent or guardian.

Information Collected by Others.

This Privacy Policy addresses only the policy and procedures of Useful. Useful is not responsible for the privacy policies of third parties, including but not limited to those whose web sites may be linked to the Useful Web site.

Verification.

Useful has self-assessed that its Privacy Policy conforms to EU Safe Harbor principles regarding personal information received from the EU.

Useful will attempt to resolve Customer complaints as quickly as possible.

If Useful is unable to resolve a Customer’s complaint regarding an alleged violation of this Privacy Policy, the Customer may file a complaint with the Data Protection Authority for the country in which the customer lives.
