| Lanlogic is committed to your
privacy.
This site is owned by Lanlogic, Inc. Your
Privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At
Lanlogic, Inc., we want to make your experience online satisfying
and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This Privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it.
INFORMATION LANLOGIC GATHERS AND TRACKS
The Lanlogic Web Sites consist of various web sites and web pages
operated by Lanlogic, Incorporated, 248 Rickenbacker Circle, Livermore,
California 94551 (collectively, the "Lanlogic Web Sites") Lanlogic gathers two types of information
about users:
- Information that users provide through optional, voluntary
submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic
newsletters, to participate in our message boards or forums,
to email a friend, and from participation in polls and surveys
- Information Lanlogic, Inc. gathers through aggregated tracking
information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our
sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content
to readers' needs and to help Lanlogic, Inc. better understand
the demographics of our audience. Under no circumstances does Lanlogic,
Inc. divulge any information about an individual user to a third
party.
Lanlogic, Inc. Gathers User Information In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following
free services, which require some type of voluntary submission
of personal information by users:
1. Electronic newsletters (Dispatches)
We will offer
a free electronic newsletter to users. Lanlogic, Inc. gathers the
email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove
themselves from this mailing list by following the link provided
in every newsletter that points users to the subscription management
page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters at the time of
registration.
2. Message boards/forums
Users of the site's Message
Boards and Forums must register separately for these services (both
are free of charge) in order to post messages, although they needn't
register to visit the site. During registration the user is required
to supply a username, password, and email address.
3. "E-mail this to a friend" Service
Our
site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or
documents to someone else by clicking "e-mail this to a
friend". The user must provide their email address, as well
as that of the recipient. This information is used only in the
case of transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient
know who sent the email. The information is not used for any other
purpose.
4. Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users
so they can easily share their opinions with other users and see
what our audience thinks about important issues. Opinions or
other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable
to any particular user. Lanlogic, Inc. may use a system to "tag" users
after they have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular
question. This tag is not correlated with information about individual
users.
5. Surveys
Lanlogic, Inc. may occasionally conduct
user surveys to better target our content to our audience. We sometimes
share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with
our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of this
information about specific individuals with any third party.
Access to customer data housed on Lanlogic server
Lanlogic will
under no circumstances access, view, or review any customer's private
data including mailbox contents, attachments, web, FTP or hosted
storage space unless specifically asked to do so by the customer
for trouble shooting purposes. This includes all user data including
messages, calendars, notes, contacts, memos and public folders.
The only exception to this is the automatic daily backup of servers
which is done to facilitate full system restoration in the event
of a server failure. Backup tapes will only be accessed to perform
full system restoration, and not for scanning individual content.
In the event that a mailbox must be accessed other than at a customer's
request, such as in the case of a mass virus infection, Lanlogic
will not do so without obtaining the permission of the designated
customer representative. We will not disclose any information about
any user except to comply with applicable law, valid legal process
or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
Children
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request
personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of
13 without requesting parental consent.
Usage tracking
Lanlogic, Inc. tracks user traffic patterns throughout
all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this information
with data about individual users. Lanlogic, Inc. does break down
overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser
type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser
string (information contained in every user's browser).
Lanlogic, Inc. sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms
that users enter in our Search function, but this tracking is never
associated with individual users. We use tracking information to
determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based
on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users
read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps
us continue to build a better service for you.
Cookies
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in
the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does not
contain Personal Information although it will enable us to relate
your use of this site to information that you have specifically
and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie
can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't
read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other
sites. Lanlogic, Inc. uses cookies to track user traffic patterns
(as described above). Our advertising system delivers a one-time
cookie to better track ad impressions and click rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If
you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you
will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need
to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need
cookies to participate actively in message boards, forums, polling
and surveys.
USE OF INFORMATION
Lanlogic, Inc. uses any information voluntarily
given by our users to enhance their experience in our network of
sites, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements
on the sites or to better prepare future content based on the interests
of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide
in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users
to participate in polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. We
send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending
on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions
when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something
we are doing. Lanlogic, Inc. never shares newsletter mailing lists
with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our
sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas.
We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well
each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better
service for you. We track search terms entered in Search function
as one of many measures of what interests our users. But we don't
track which terms a particular user enters.
Lanlogic, Inc. creates aggregate reports on user demographics
and traffic patterns for advertisers, sponsors and partners. This
allows our advertisers to advertise more effectively, and allows
our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent to their
needs. Because we don't track the usage patterns of individual
users, an advertiser or sponsor will never know that a specific
user clicked their ad. We will not disclose any information about
any individual user except to comply with applicable law or valid
legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or
the public.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
Lanlogic, Inc. uses the above-described
information to tailor our content to suit your needs and help our
advertisers better understand our audience's demographics. This
is essential to keeping our service free. We will not share information
about individual users with any third party, except to comply with
applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal
safety of our users or the public.
SECURITY
Lanlogic, Inc. operates secure data networks protected
by industry standard firewall and password protection systems.
Our security and Privacy policies are periodically reviewed and
enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals have access
to the information provided by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and practical.
Such choices include:
- Opting not to register to receive our electronic
newsletters.
- Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which
completely alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable
information from our users
YOUR CONSENT
By using this site, you consent to the collection
and use of this information by Lanlogic, Inc. If we decide to change
our Privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so
that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we
use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it. |
