Introduction |
|
|
As a national Internet service provider, safeplace.net®
is strongly committed to the protection of families
and family values, as exemplified by our use of the industries standard in filtration technology, X-STOP®
. We also recognize and understand that with the growth of the Internet and Internet commerce, Internet privacy concerns are
paramount to our customers.
The majority of Internet privacy concerns relate to the protection of customer identifiable information which you,
as a customer, reasonably should expect to be kept private. As the term is used in this Policy, "customer identifiable
information" is as any information which can be associated with a specific individual or entity, including, for example,
a customer's name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, user I.D. and password, credit card number, and other information
that specifically identifies a customer.
It is both necessary and commonplace for businesses like Safeplace.net to collect customer identifiable information in
order to transact business. Many activities conducted on the Internet are no different, and therefore, frequently seek
similar information from you for your participation. Moreover, many web sites request such information to better match
products and services to customer wants and needs.
Safeplace.net's computer system automatically gathers usage information such as the number and frequency of visitors
to the various locations on our web site. This information is used, in the aggregate, and helps us to determine the
frequency and duration of visits to locations on our site by our customers. Such information helps us to improve our
service.
Moreover, Safeplace.net periodically may provide this statistical information, in the aggregate, to our marketing
partners who may use the information to improve content or services that they provide. Once again, this information is
used in the aggregate and does not include specific customer identifiable information.
Please note that the Safeplace.net Privacy Policy applies only to Safeplace.net and not to web sites of any companies
or organizations to which we link and over which we have no control. To eliminate any confusion, Safeplace.net's web pages
are marked with the Safeplace.net trademark or copyright, so that it is clear to you which pages are covered by
this Policy.
Safeplace.net has established the following Privacy Policy as a way to protect your customer identifiable information:
|
|
|
Disclosure Statement |
|
|
Safeplace.net will not sell, trade, or disclose to any third parties any customer identifiable information contained in
that customer's registration for Safeplace.net's service, without the express consent of the customer (except as required
by force of law or legal process).
Whenever Safeplace.net uses outside agents, contractors, or vendors to perform services on our behalf, Safeplace.net will
ensure that each protects all customer identifiable information in a manner consistent with this Policy. As an Internet
service provider, Safeplace.net further agrees to provide you with the right to have your customer identifiable information
excluded from any listing or online directory, which we may make available to our membership from time to time.

Information Gathering and Use |
|
|
Safeplace.net gathers and uses customer identifiable information for the purposes of billing, providing and changing
Internet service, and anticipating and resolving any service problems. In addition, Safeplace.net may use such information
to help us develop products or services that may be of interest to you, and to eventually inform you of product or service
introductions or modifications.
For statistical business purposes, Safeplace.net's servers automatically compile information such as the Internet sites
our customers visit, our own web pages frequented by our customers, and the duration of such visits. Safeplace.net does not
use this information except in the aggregate to help us better determine our customers wants and needs.

use or alteration.
Moreover, Safeplace.net will not read or disclose to third parties any private e-mail messages (except as may be
authorized or required by law, or as required in the operation of the service).
|
|
|

potentially unlawful activity, activity that threatens our network, or any activity which interrupts or threatens interruption
of our customers' service.

Special Privacy Protection for Children and Underage Teens |
|
|
Safeplace.net takes special precautions to protect the privacy and safety of any children using our services.
Safeplace.net encourages parents to take an active role to ensure the privacy and security of their children and to prevent
the inappropriate collection and use of information about them. Additionally, Safeplace.net encourages parents to participate
in any activity that your children engage in online.
Safeplace.net recognizes that children, including underage teens, may not be able to make informed decisions regarding
the release, or the appropriateness of the release, of personal information to any person or entity requesting such information
online.
Consequently, Safeplace.net advises and encourages all children to seek the consent of their parents before providing any
such information concerning themselves or their families to any such third party.
Safeplace.net does not, and will not, request any form of personal information or customer identifiable information from
children or underage teens, nor will Safeplace.net allow anyone else to do so through our service, without first obtaining
parental consent.
Additionally, the editorial content of Safeplace.net's web pages designed for children will not knowingly promote or link
to any third party web site or service that collects, or attempts to collect, such information from children, absent parental
consent.
