Privacy Policy
Last Updated: July 2nd 2008.
U.I. Ventures Limited respects the privacy of all of its users and is
committed to protecting such privacy in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy explains U.I. Ventures Limited ("U.I. Ventures")
treatment of your personally identifiable information collected in
connection with your activities on or related to the U.I. Ventures website.
This Privacy Policy also explains how you can ask questions and make
suggestions about our privacy practices and review and update your personal
information.
We urge you to read this Privacy Policy carefully and to check back
periodically as this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. Please
note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies
or websites which are not owned or controlled by U.I. Ventures
INFORMATION COLLECTED
In the course of operating the U.I. Ventures Services, we may collect
two types of information about our users: Personal Information and
Non-Personal Information.
Personal Information is personally identifiable information, such as your
name, address, email address, birth date and gender. Personal Information is
collected by us when you choose to provide it to us when registering for a
U.I. Ventures Service, such as when you choose to subscribe to a U.I.
Ventures Service, enter a U.I. Ventures promotion or choose to receive a U.I.
Ventures newsletter. In addition, if you choose to contact any of our
customer service representatives, we may keep a record of that
correspondence so that we may fully address the subject matter. We may also
receive Personal Information from our business partners and other third
parties, provided that such third parties confirm to us that you have
permitted them to share such information.
Business contact information such as the name, title, business address,
email address or telephone number of a business or professional person or an
employee of an organization is not considered Personal Information.
Non-Personal Information is information of an anonymous nature, such as an
Internet Protocol Address (IP Address), the domain used to access a U.I.
Ventures Service, and the type and version of browser or operating system
being used. Aggregate information, such as demographic statistics of our
users (e.g. average age or geographical allocation of our users), number of
visitors and average time spent on a U.I. Ventures Service, is also
considered Non-Personal Information.
Non-Personal Information is collected or derived by us in the course of
operating the U.I. Ventures Services. For example, our Web servers may
automatically collect Non-Personal Information which is provided through
your browser or stored on a Cookie or through a Web Beacon when you choose
to visit a U.I. Ventures Service. Non-Personal Information is used by U.I.
Ventures as described here.
USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal Information may be used by us for the following purposes:
Providing you with the U.I. Ventures Services and information you have
requested from us, including your use of the U.I. Ventures Site. We may from
time to time use your Personal Information to contact you about changes,
enhancements or similar notices related to the U.I.Ventures Services;
If you indicated that you were interested in receiving offers or information
from U.I. Ventures or certain of our selected sponsors or advertisers, U.I.
Ventures or such sponsors or advertisers may send you email materials and
other mailings about products and services that we feel may be of interest
to you. If at any time you would like to end your subscription to any such
email materials, follow the directions posted at the bottom of the email
material;
If you enter a contest or other promotion offered on a U.I. Ventures Site,
we may, under the rules of the promotion, use your name and certain other
information to administer the promotion, such as contacting, announcing and
promoting the winners of the promotion;
U.I. Ventures may also use Personal Information if it has reasonable grounds
to believe the information could be useful when investigating a
contravention of any law or in order to protect or defend a legal interest.
DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We will not sell or rent your Personal Information to anyone. We will
only disclose your Personal Information to third parties:
Where you have specifically given us your consent to disclose your Personal
Information for a designated purpose;
Who are acting on our behalf as our agents, suppliers or service providers,
solely to enable us to more efficiently provide you with the U.I. Ventures
Services. Such entities act under strict contractual controls, requiring
them to maintain the confidentiality of all such Personal Information and to
use such information solely for purposes related to the provision of the U.I.
Ventures Services;
As may be set out in the Terms and Conditions applicable to a U.I. Ventures
Service, to facilitate the provision of such U.I. Ventures Service, such as
fulfilling legal requirements;
As required by law, including by an order of any court, institution or body
with jurisdiction or authority to compel the production of information, or
in order to protect or defend a legal interest;
In connection with a U.I. Ventures corporate re-organization, merger or
amalgamation with another entity, or a sale of all or a substantial portion
of the assets of U.I. Ventures provided that the Personal Information
disclosed continues to be used for the purposes permitted by this Privacy
Policy by the entity acquiring the information.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES AND ADVERTISEMENTS
A U.I. Ventures Service may contain links to other websites and
services. While we try to link only to sites and services that share our
high standards and respect for privacy, please understand that we are not
responsible for the content of, or the privacy practices employed by, other
companies or websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to the U.I. Ventures
Services referencing this Privacy Policy.
SECURITY
The security of your Personal Information is important to us. U.I. Ventures
takes technical, contractual, administrative, and physical security steps to
protect Personal Information that you provide to us. We instruct our
employees with access to your Personal Information that it is to be used
only in adherence with the principles set forth in this Privacy Policy and
the laws applicable to each specific business.
In certain areas, such as when you provide credit card information to us, we
work to help protect the security of your credit card information.
You can help protect the security of your Personal Information as well. For
instance, never give out your password, since this is what is used to access
your Account or Registration Information. Also remember to log out of your
account and close your browser window when you finish using a U.I. Ventures
Service or surfing the Web, so that other people using the same computer
won't have access to your information.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
U.I. Ventures may from time to time change its Privacy Policy as new U.I.
Ventures Services are added or old ones changed. Changes will be effective
when notice of such change is posted at the U.I. Ventures Site. Please check
this Privacy Policy regularly for updates by checking the date of "Last
Update" at the top of this document.
ADDITIONAL PRIVACY PROCEDURES
Privacy procedures specific to a U.I. Ventures Service may be found on
the U.I. Ventures Site at the location of the particular U.I. Ventures
Service, or in additional terms referenced at the U.I. Ventures Site. Those
procedures are an addendum to this policy, and are provided to you at the
place where they will be of most use and relevance to you.
