The information on this Web site (the "Site") is being
collected by SpamWall Services LLC ("SpamWall"). This
privacy statement is designed to tell you how we collect and use
personal information so you can make an informed decision about
using our Site. Please read this statement before using our Site
or submitting any personal information to us. By using our Site,
you consent to the information collection and use practices described
herein. SpamWall reserves the right to change the provisions of
this privacy statement at any time, but will alert you that changes
have been made by indicating on the privacy statement the date it
was last updated. Your use of the Site following the posting of
such changes or revised statement shall constitute your acceptance
of any such changes. We encourage you to review our privacy statement
whenever you visit our Site to make sure that you understand how
any personal information you provide will be used. This privacy
statement applies to all users of this Site, including but not limited
to SpamWall's customers who register for our services ("Customers")
and to persons or entities that send email to Customers ("Senders").
This privacy statement applies only to our online information collection
and use practices through this Web site and does not apply to SpamWall's
offline information collection and use practices.
Although the majority of information obtained through this Site
is business related, we may also collect personal information (i.e.,
individual information that may be used to personally identify or
contact you) from Customers, Senders, and other users of this Site.
Collection is done both actively (information you voluntarily submit
to us) and passively (information automatically gathered from your
computer).
ACTIVE COLLECTION.
At several places on our Site, we collect certain information you
voluntarily provide to us that may contain personally identifiable
information. For Customers, for example, our registration page requests
your full name, address, phone number, fax number, email address,
email server host name and email user name and password. For Senders,
our identity verification page requests your full name, address,
phone number, fax number, email address, and friendly email name.
You may also provide us with credit card information for payment
of registration fees or other fees collected by SpamWall. If you
send us an email request, we may also store that information. SpamWall
also will store emails sent to Customers from Senders for an indefinite
period of time.
PASSIVE COLLECTION.Our software automatically collects certain information from
your computer (such as your Internet address, browser type, operating
software, computer language, email type, etc.) using two methods:
(1) "cookies," and (2) log files.
- Cookies. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's
hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie
is not linked to any personally identifiable information while
on our Site. We use cookies to track a user's path for security
purposes, as well as to target their interests in an effort to
enhance the experience on our Site. If you wish to block, erase,
or be warned of cookies, please refer to your browser instructions
or help screen to learn about these functions. If a user rejects
a cookie, they may still use our Site: however, they will be limited
in some of its areas. For example, the user may not receive promotions
or product information. SpamWall reserves the right to prohibit
access to and use of the Site if cookies are disabled. Please
note: While some of our business partners may use cookies
on our Site, we have no access to or control over these cookies.
- Log Files. We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer
the Site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to
personally identifiable information.
SpamWall is the sole owner of the information collected on this
Site. Personal information that you provide SpamWall (such as a
personal email address) may be used by SpamWall in the following
ways:
- to contact you about your use of the Site or about our products
and services;
- to respond to your comments or requests;
- to maintain a record of the relationship between email addresses
to provide the Spam blocking services;
- to verify and re-verify of the identity of Senders;
- to request feedback and to enable us to develop and improve
the Site and our products and services;
- for internal and marketing/promotional purposes including newsletters,
which may include advertisements; and
- for the specific purpose for which the information was provided
and to otherwise provide the Spam blocking services described
in the SpamWall Terms of Service Agreement.
For example, we send new Customers and other users a welcoming
email to verify password and username, and established Customers
will occasionally receive information on product services or special
promotions. Please see "What Choices Do You Have Regarding
The Use Of Your Information?" below regarding your options
not to receive such communications. We also send Customers Site
and service announcement updates and certain limited advertising
via email. Customers are not able to unsubscribe from such announcements,
which contain important information about our service.
For Senders, in addition to the uses of personal information set
forth above, Sender's information may also be sold or otherwise
provided to Spam monitoring or compliance agencies or organizations
(government and non-government including, without limitation ICANN).
Sender's information will also be used to confirm your identity
as a party authorized to send email to a particular Customer or
Customers, to develop and maintain "scoring" information
attributable to a particular Sender's email address, to track how
many times you have sent emails to a Customer and to otherwise provide
the Spam blocking services described in the SpamWall Terms of Services
Agreement.
We will not sell, share, or rent any personal information to others
in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement without
first obtaining your authorization. We may provide aggregate information
(i.e., information we collect that does not allow you to be personally
identified or contacted) to third parties without your authorization,
such as information about your access and use of the Site, about
your computer operating system and computer language, email type,
and similar information.
We may disclose personal information you provide to independent
contractors, service providers and consultants who are engaged by
or working with SpamWall. For example, we may use credit card processing
companies to process payments for goods and services, outside shipping
companies to ship orders and credit bureaus to check credit histories.
We may partner with other parties to provide specific services and
will share information with them in order to facilitate their provision
of services. For example, when the Customer, Sender, or other user
signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact
information necessary for the third party to provide these services.
We may also disclose personal information we have collected if
we are required to do so by law or if, in our good faith judgment,
such action is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process,
to respond to any claims, or to protect the rights of SpamWall and
its customers and the public.
Please note: This Site may contain links to other sites. Please
be aware that SpamWall is not responsible for the privacy practices
of such other sites. We encourage our Customers, Senders, or other
users of the Site to be aware when they leave our Site and to read
the privacy statements of every Web site that collects personally
identifiable information. Similarly, if you entered the Site through
another Web site, SpamWall is also not responsible for the privacy
practices of that site, and you should review the privacy policy
of the originating Web site before providing any personal information
to that Web site. This privacy statement applies solely to information
collected by SpamWall.
SpamWall understands that security of your information is vital
to your business. SpamWall provides three levels of protection against
unauthorized access to your information: (1) global security using
SSL encryption technology, (2) firewall security for protection
of our Web and database servers against external attack, (3) encrypted
password protection for your account. For more detailed information
regarding security on this Site, please refer to: http://www.spamwall.net
If you wish to correct any personally identifiable information (such
as zip code, phone number, etc.), please contact us at the address
or email indicated above and we will endeavor to correct or update
the personal data you have provided us to the extent such information
is not necessary to complete any services or transactions with us.
The only way in which you may "opt out" of our use of
your personally identifiable information is to cancel your services
with SpamWall by sending an email to cancel@spamwall.net
and inserting unsubscribe in the subject line.
Please note that for users of our services who do not become Customers
following the thirty (10) day free trial period, we will continue
to monitor and track email sent to such user unless and until the
user sends an email to cancel@spamwall.net
and inserts unsubscribe in the subject line to terminate the service
or SpamWall decides to cease monitoring and tracking emails sent
to such user.
If you feel that SpamWall is not abiding by this privacy statement,
you should contact our Privacy Compliance Coordinator by email at
privacy@spamwall.net or
by mail at 8500 W. 110th Street, Suite 205, Overland Park, KS 66210.
