Introduction:
Verismo
Networks respects your privacy. This Privacy Statement explains what
information we collect through our websites (the “Sites”), through our
products and when you contact us for support, how we use that
information, and what choices you have.
The
Sites contains links to other web sites. This Privacy Statement does
not apply to the practices of any company or individual that Verismo
Networks does not control, or any web sites that you link to from the
Sites. You should carefully review the privacy policies of any web
sites that you visit from ours to learn more about their information
and privacy practices. The collection and use of your personal
information shall be governed by such other party or site’s privacy
policy. Verismo is not responsible for their privacy practices.
Please
take a few moments to read this Privacy Statement. By accessing the
Sites or using a Verismo product, you agree to accept the terms and
conditions of this Privacy Statement and are aware that our policies
may change in the future.
What information we collect:
In
various places on the Sites and through the Verismo products, we
collect "Personally Identifiable Information" such as your name,
mailing address, telephone number, email address, or other information
that can be used to identify you or contact you. For example, we
collect this information when you create an account, register for our
message boards, sign up for our email newsletter, and purchase from our
website or register a Verismo product, download a software update,
enter a sweepstakes or participate in surveys, promotions and
give-away. From time to time in the future we may offer software
updates, upgrades, additional features, services and promotional
opportunities that would require you to submit Personally Identifiable
Information to participate.
We
also collect "Anonymous Information" such as your IP address, the type
of browser you use, the pages on our Sites that you visit, the search
terms that you enter or the advertisements that you click. Anonymous
information can and will NOT be associated with Personally Identifiable
Information.
Like many Internet sites, we also use
"cookies" to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we
transfer to your computer and is stored on your hard drive. When you
visit our Sites the cookie identifies your computer to us so that you
do not have to re-register each time you visit. We also use cookies to
measure the traffic to and usage of our site and its different services
and features, and other miscellaneous uses.
We also collect the
personal information of third parties that is provided by visitors who
submit that personal data through our Sites, in connection with, for
example, referrals or gift purchases.
Verismo products upload
usage information to Verismo as part of their normal functioning. The
collected information includes the specific identifiers of streams
played, duration played, various quality measures, error logs, software
version numbers, and other usage statistics. Usage information uploaded
from Verismo products is personally identifiable by product serial
number. In some cases, serial numbers are associated with personally
identifiable information for customer service and support.
The
information collected from many users is aggregated for analysis and,
in some instances, made generally available anonymously to users of
Verismo products and Verismo services. For example, Verismo may use
such information to provide features such as lists of popular videos.
Verismo may also use personally identifiable information to make
content recommendations to individual users.
If you do not wish
Verismo to use your information as described in this section, please
follow the procedure in “What Choices You Have” below.
We do not
intend that children will use the Sites. We do not solicit or knowingly
collect information from children under 13 years of age, nor will we
accept registration from them.
How we use the information we collect:
We
use Personally Identifiable Information that you provided us to perform
the services for which the data was collected, such as for order
fulfillment, customer support and marketing activities, such as e-mail
newsletters and sending you information about products and services
that may be of interest to you. Later on in this Privacy Statement, we
provide you with more information on how to opt-out of marketing
communications.
We use non-Personally Identifiable Information
to determine how people use the Sites and its services and to analyze
usage and performance of our products and their software and features.
For example this data tells us information including how often users
click on our advertisements, which files are downloaded most
frequently, and which areas of our site are the most popular. Analyzing
this data allows us to improve our products and services.
How we share information:
We
sometimes use third parties to help with certain aspects of our
operations, such as processing credit card payments and providing
marketing assistance. When we supply Personally Identifiable
Information to these third parties, we require them to use it only for
the function they are contracted to perform.
We aggregate the
Anonymous Information that we collect and exchange it with advertisers
and others who are interested in our services.
We will disclose
Personally Identifiable Information as required by law, or if in our
judgment it is necessary to protect Verismo Networks or our users from
loss or liability. We may share
some or all of your personal information with our current or future
"affiliates" (which means a parent company, any subsidiaries, joint
ventures, or other companies under a common control), in which case we
will require our affiliates to honor this privacy policy. If we
merge with or are acquired by another company, the resulting combined
company will use the information you have provided as described in this
policy. If we cease operation, your information may be transferred to
and used by another company that offers similar or related products or
services. While we cannot predict about such an unlikely event, we
would hope this could provide you continuity of service.
What choices you have:
If
you do not want to receive information about our products and services
or do not want to receive information from our partners and others
about products and services that might interest you, you can send an
email to Versimo Networks at
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
.
We will keep track of your decision in our database. Even if you choose
not to receive information from us, we reserve the right to communicate
with you on matters we consider especially important relating to our
products or services.
Postings:
If
you register to use our bulletin boards, please remember that anything
you post is publicly available. Your profile will also be available to
other users of our bulletin board service.
Security:
During
sessions in which you give us information such as credit card numbers,
we encrypt your transmissions using SSL ("Secure Sockets Layer"), and
other security technology. This guards against the interception of the
information while it is on the Internet. We keep the Personally
Identifiable Information you provide on servers that are protected by
firewalls and other technological means against intrusion or
unauthorized access. They are located in a physically secure facility,
and only our employees and agents with a need to know the information
are given access. However, there is no such thing as "perfect security"
on the Internet. We rely on you to select passwords that cannot be
guessed easily and to safeguard those passwords from disclosure. Third
parties may unlawfully access transmissions or private communications.
Please contact us if you have any information regarding unauthorized
use of the Sites.
