Site Factory's policies and procedures for handling customer information have been created with the understanding that Internet technologies are still evolving and that Internet business methods are continuing to evolve to meet the needs and opportunities of the changing technologies. As a result, Site Factory's policies and procedures are subject to change.
In the course of serving its customers, Site Factory acquires, stores and transmits customer communications and information that customers may regard as private or sensitive. Some of this information - such as the customer's name, address, telephone number, and credit card data - is provided to Site Factory by its customers in order to establish service. Other information - such as the customer's account status, choice of services, and customer logs - is created and maintained by Site Factory in the normal course of providing service. Site Factory also uses cookies, which are small pieces of information that a web site can store in a designated file on a user's computer for various reasons. For example, Site Factory uses cookies on the landing pages of products sold online which record the customer information that is required on the order form. This information is then forwarded to an internal sales tracking database within Site Factory. In addition, Site Factory may store customers' electronic mail and other communications as a necessary incident to the transmission and delivery of those communications.
Data Security
Site Factory will protect the confidentiality of its customers' information, account information and personal communications to the fullest extent possible and consistent with the law and the legitimate interests of Site Factory, its partners, its employees and other customers of Site Factory's services. To protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of information that is collected from customers, Site Factory has appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures in place.
How is customer information used?
Site Factory may share customer information with selected partners, for example, to provide customers with information about products which might be of interest to the customer or to enable the customer to take advantage of special partner programs. Site Factory may also use customer information to provide its customers with system information or information about new or upgraded products.
Opt Out & Modifications
Customers may opt out of receiving notices of new or upgraded products from Site Factory and Site Factory partners by filling out this on-line No Solicitation Request form. However, customers may not opt out of receiving information from Site Factory which is essential for maintaining or updating customers' accounts or system information.
Most customers may access and modify their personal information via their online personal control panel/account information page. All other customers may access and modify their personal information by contacting the appropriate Site Factory Billing organization.
Domain name customers who have registered a domain name with Site Factory and wish to change the Technical Contact from Site Factory to another company, may send a request to hostmaster@SiteFactory.com. It is important to note that customer domain name registration information is made publicly available in the registry of domain names.
Disclosure of customer information and communications
Site Factory will not otherwise disclose its customers' personal and account information unless Site Factory has reason to believe that disclosing such information is necessary to identify, make contact with, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing harm or interfering with the rights or property of Site Factory, Site Factory's customers, or others, or where Site Factory has a good faith belief that the law requires such disclosure.
Site Factory also will not, except for reasons stated below, disclose to third parties the contents of any electronic mail or other electronic communications that Site Factory stores or transmits for its customers. The circumstances under which Site Factory will disclose such electronic customer communications are when:
- it is necessary in order to provide service to the customer;
- it is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Site Factory and its customers;
- it is required to cooperate with interception orders, warrants, or other legal process that Site Factory determines in its sole discretion to be valid and enforceable; and
- it is necessary to provide to a law enforcement agency when the contents are inadvertently obtained by Site Factory and appear to pertain to the commission of a crime.
Site Factory disclaims any intention to censor, edit or engage in ongoing review or surveillance of communications stored on or transmitted through its facilities by customers or others. Site Factory will, however, review, delete or block access to communications that may harm Site Factory, its customers or third parties. The grounds on which Site Factory may take such action include, but are not limited to, actual or potential violations of Site Factory's Acceptable Use Policy.
