This Statement of Privacy applies to the Firebend Web site and governs data collection and usage. By using the Firebend website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.
Collection of your Personal Information
Firebend collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail
address, name, home or work address or telephone number. Firebend also collects
anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP
code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by Firebend. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by Firebend for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Firebend Web site.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through Firebend public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: Firebend does not read any of your private online communications.
Firebend encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from Firebend so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. Firebend is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the Firebend and Firebend family of Web sites.
Use of your Personal Information
Firebend collects and uses your personal information to operate the Firebend
Web site and deliver the services you have requested. Firebend also uses your
personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services
available from Firebend and its affiliates. Firebend may also contact you via
surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of
potential new services that may be offered.
Firebend does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Firebend may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, Firebend may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Firebend, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
Firebend does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
Firebend keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within Firebend, in order to determine what Firebend services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within Firebend to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
Firebend Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Firebend or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Firebend; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Firebend, or the public.
Use of Cookies
The Firebend Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online
experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web
page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your
computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web
server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Firebend pages, or register with Firebend site or services, a cookie helps Firebend to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Firebend Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Firebend features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Firebend services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
Firebend secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or
disclosure. Firebend secures the personally identifiable information you
provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from
unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a
credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through
the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
Firebend will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company
and customer feedback. Firebend encourages you to periodically review this
Statement to be informed of how Firebend is protecting your information.
