Our Policy:
Welcome to the website (the “Site”) of IPUT, inc (“IPUT”, “we”, “us” and/or “our”). This Site is operated by IPUT and has been created to provide information about our IPUT, software and services provided by the IPUT (the “Company Services”) to our Site visitors and customers (“you”, “your”). This Privacy Policy sets forth IPUT’s policy with respect to information, including personally identifiable data (“Personal Data”) and other information that is collected from Site visitors and customers of IPUT Services.
Information We Collect:
When you interact with us through the Site and use IPUT Services, we may collect Personal Data and other information from you, as further described below:
Personal Data That You Provide: We collect Personal Data from you when you voluntarily provide such information, such as when you contact us with inquiries, respond to one of our surveys, register for access to the IPUT Services or use certain IPUT Services. Wherever IPUT collects Personal Data we make an effort to provide a link to this Privacy Policy.
By voluntarily providing us with Personal Data, you are consenting to our use of it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Data, you acknowledge and agree that such Personal Data may be transferred from your current location to the offices and servers of IPUT and the authorized third parties referred to herein located in the United States.
Location Data: Some features and functionality in our Company Services require that you provide your location. If you have location services turned on, whenever you use such Company Services on your mobile device, we collect and use your geocoordinates (e.g. latitude and longitude) to tailor the Company Services to your current location. We will only process your location with your express permission. If you have persistent background location turned on, we will obtain your device’s location even if you are not using the Company Services on your mobile device. Your location is never shared with others, except with your consent or as permitted under this Privacy Policy. We use various technologies to determine your precise location, such as the location services of your operating system or browser, sensor data from your device (e.g. magnetometer, barometer, gyroscopes, accelerometers, compasses, Bluetooth data, beacon data, Wi-Fi access points, GPS data, and cell tower data), and other data that may help us understand your precise location.If you have opted-in to sharing your background location with us as part of using the Company Services, you may remove your permission at any time by going into your operating device settings and toggling off background sharing.
Other Information: When you interact with IPUT through the Site, we receive and store certain personally non-identifiable information. Such information, which is collected passively using various technologies, cannot presently be used to specifically identify you. IPUT may store such information itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by IPUT affiliates, agents or service providers. This Site may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to our Site, the number of visitors to each page of our Site, and the domain names of our visitors’ Internet service providers. It is important to note that no Personal Data is available or used in this process.
In operating this Site, we may use a technology called “cookies.” A cookie is a piece of information that the computer that hosts our Site gives to your browser when you access the Site. Our cookies help provide additional functionality to the Site and help us analyze Site usage more accurately. For instance, our Site may set a cookie on your browser that allows you to access the Site without needing to remember and then enter a password more than once during a visit to the Site. In all cases in which we use cookies, we will not collect Personal Data except with your permission. On most web browsers, you will find a “help” section on the toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive notification when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on because they allow you to take advantage of some of the Site’s features.
In addition, this Site enables the use of the Adobe Flash Player. Adobe’s Flash Player is used by the vast majority of websites that offer video and other interactive content. By default, your use of the Adobe Flash Player generates “flash cookies” (also known as “persistent identification elements” or “local shared objects”). The Adobe Flash Player (and similar applications) use flash cookies to remember user settings, preferences and usage similar to the browser cookies referenced above. You can disable, delete and control the degree to which you accept flash cookies by accessing your Adobe Flash Player management tools directly through the settings manager for Adobe Flash, located here. If you do not allow flash cookies to take any disc space on your computer, you may not be able to take advantage of or participate in certain features on this Site.[1][2] This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies, flash cookies, and similar files by IPUT only and does not cover the use of cookies, flash cookies, and similar files by any third-party advertisers or websites linked to this Site.
Aggregated Personal Data: In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of the IPUT Services, IPUT often conducts research on its customer and user demographics, interests and behavior based on the Personal Data and other information provided to us. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis, and IPUT may share this aggregate data with its affiliates, agents and business partners. This aggregate information does not identify you personally. IPUT may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.
Do Not Track: We may (and we may allow third party service providers to) use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activities over time and across different websites following your use of our Site and Products. Our Site and Products currently do not respond to “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals and operate as described in this Privacy Policy whether or not a DNT signal is received. If we do so in the future, we will describe how we do so in this Privacy Policy.
Our Use of Your Personal Data and Other Information:
IPUT uses the Personal Data you provide in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Data for a certain reason, we may use the Personal Data in connection with the reason for which it was provided. For instance, if you contact us by e-mail, we will use the Personal Data you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem. Also, if you provide Personal Data in order to obtain access to the IPUT Services, we will use your Personal Data to provide you with access to such services and to monitor your use of such services. IPUT and its subsidiaries and affiliates (the “Company Related Companies”) may also use your Personal Data and other personally non-identifiable information collected through the Site and the IPUT Services to help us improve the content and functionality of the Site and IPUT Services, to better understand our users and to improve the IPUT Services. IPUT Related Companies may use this information to contact you in the future to tell you about services we believe will be of interest to you. If we do so, each communication we send you will contain instructions permitting you to “opt-out” of receiving future communications. In addition, if at any time you wish not to receive any future communications or you wish to have your name deleted from our mailing lists, please contact us as indicated below.
