STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBLE ONLINE MARKETING
The Connexus information usage practices are based on two beliefs: first, that protecting user privacy is essential to the growth and prosperity of the Internet; second, that a personalized web experience can provide significant benefits to Internet end users if done properly. In accordance with these beliefs, Connexus creates results for advertisers and publishers in revolutionary ways without compromising individual privacy.
I. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Connexus Corporation is the corporate entity that manages the Connexus marketing, technology and e-commerce companies and divisions. The Connexus Site is not directed towards individual Internet consumers nor does it seek any personally identifiable information ("PII") from such consumers. PII may be collected should a consumer contact Connexus on his/her own accord and volunteer PII. The information collection practices of the various Connexus companies and divisions are detailed on their individual sites.
Like most standard website servers, we use log files to collect Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, and date/time stamp. We use the information to analyze site usage, administer the site, understand usage and navigation trends in aggregate, and determine the relevance of content.
II. INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
Connexus may share information with its affiliated entities for or in connection with the sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of substantial asset, reorganization or liquidation of any of the Connexus companies. Connexus also may release information when we believe release is appropriate to respond to a subpoena or otherwise comply with the law; enforce or apply our agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Connexus or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection.
III. CONSUMER CHOICE AND ACCESS
Because the Connexus Site is not directed towards individual Internet users and does not use cookies, we do not maintain a process for an individual consumer to review and/or request changes to any PII collected.
IV. SECURITY
Connexus employs industry standard security measures to ensure the security of all data. Any data that is stored on Connexus servers is treated as proprietary and confidential and is not available to the public. Connexus has an internal security policy with respect to the confidentiality of customer and other data, allowing access only to those employees or third parties who have a need to know such information for the purpose of effectively delivering Connexus products and services by means of user login and password requirements. Connexus routinely evaluates its data security practices to identify security threats or opportunities for improvement.
No transmission of data over the Internet, however, is guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for third parties not under the control of Connexus to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your information, Connexus cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. You acknowledge and assume this risk when communicating with us.
V. CONSENT AND CHANGES
Connexus may find it necessary or be legally obligated to update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post those changes on this page and update the effective date so that you are always aware of the information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it. Except as otherwise required by law, modifications to this Privacy Policy will not affect the privacy of data collected by Connexus prior to the effective date of the policy change unless we provide you direct notice and the opportunity to opt-out.
VI. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY AND SPAM
Connexus is very sensitive to the issue of children's privacy and makes every effort to protect the privacy of children using the Internet. Connexus web site, products, and services are not developed for or directed at children. Children (persons under the age of 18) are not eligible to do business with us and we do not collect personal information from any person we actually know is under the age of 13. Connexus is committed to proper Internet practices and full compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (15 U.S.C. § 7701). It is our policy to prohibit the sending of unsolicited or "Spam" e-mail by Connexus or any of its marketing partners.
VII. DATA PROCESSING/SAFE HARBOR
