Mobiletech.net has created this privacy
statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following
discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this web
site.
Information Collection and Use
Mobiletech.net is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We
will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from
what is disclosed in this statement. Mobiletech.net collects information from
our users at several different points on our website.
Registration
In order to place an order on this website, a user must first complete the
registration form. During registration users are required to give their contact
information (such as name and email address). This information is used to
contact users about the services on our site for which they have expressed
interest. There are also unique identifiers (such as customer number) that are
not required, but requested so we can provide a more personalized experience on
our site. Registration is also required for "reseller access" to our site, which
features information pertinent to resellers and requires the mailing, emailing,
or faxing of a valid reseller certificate. Acceptance of reseller registration
is not guaranteed, and is up to the discretion of Mobiletech.net and its agents.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user must provide
contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information
(like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing
purposes and to fill customers orders. If we have trouble processing an order,
this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the users hard drive containing
information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any
personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes
their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie
on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once,
thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may
still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited
in some areas of our site. For example, the user will not be able to participate
in any of our Sweepstakes, Contests or monthly Drawings that take place. Cookies
can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the
experience on our site.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track users
movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP
addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. Periodically
these log files are deleted.
Sharing
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing
company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain,
share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary
purposes.
We partner with other outside parties to provide
specific services (i.e. credit card processing). When the user signs up for
these services, we will share names, or other contact information that is
necessary for the third party to provide these services. These parties are not
allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of
providing these services.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we (Mobiletech.net)
are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage
our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy
statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by
this Web site.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and
the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information.
Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping
address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact
information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey
information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and
satisfaction of this site.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users information. When users
submit sensitive information via the website, the information is protected both
online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to
enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security
number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption
software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form,
the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and
Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open,
when users are viewing non-secure documents.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive
information online, we also do everything in our power to protect
user-information off-line. All of our users information, not just the sensitive
information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who
need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk
or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally
identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected
screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter
their password to re-gain access to visitor information. Furthermore, ALL
employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every
quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified
and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do
to ensure our customers information is protected. Finally, the servers that we
store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment,
behind a locked security door.
If you have any questions about the security at
our website, you can send an email to
Support@mobiletech.net.
Supplementation of Information
In order for this website to properly fulfill its obligation to our customers,
it is necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with information
from 3rd party sources.
For example, to determine if our customers
qualify for one of our credit cards, we use their name and social security
number to request a credit report. Once we determine a users credit-worthiness,
this document is destroyed.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members are not
able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important
information about the service. We communicate with the user to provide requested
services and in regards to issues relating to their account via email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a users personally identifiable information changes (such as zip code), or if
a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to
correct, update or remove that users personal data provided to us. This can
usually be done at the member information page or by emailing our Customer
Support.
Choice/Opt-out
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials may
opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe or remove
in the subject line in the email or email us at
Support@mobiletech.net.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our
Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we
use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we
decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from
that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an
email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in
this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy
policy under which the information was collected.
