Candledark Internet Solutions (together with its subsidiaries
and affiliates, "Candledark"), respects the privacy and security
of its customers and users of its website. Candledark strives to provide you
with a personalized internet experience that delivers to you the information,
products and services that you need. In order to achieve this goal, Candledark sometimes collects information during your visits to our website. We will not
disclose this information to any person or organization outside Candledark,
except as described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is not intended
to and does not create any contractual or other legal rights in or on behalf of
any party.
We have prepared this Privacy Policy to enable you to
understand which personal identifying information of yours is collected, how and
when we might use your information, how we protect your information, who has
access to your information, and how you can correct any inaccuracies in the
information.
Information We Collect
Candledark collects certain information from and about its
users three ways: (i) from our web server logs, (ii) with cookies and (iii)
directly from the user.
Web server logs: When you visit our
website, Candledark may collect information to administer the site and analyze
its usage. We may collect information such as:
• your internet protocol address;
• the type of browser or computer you use;
• the number of links you click within our website;
• the state or country from which you accessed our website;
• the date and time of your visit;
• the name of your Internet service provider;
• the web page from which you linked to our website; and
• the pages you viewed on our website
Cookies: Please see our Cookie
Policies.
Personal information users give us: On
some pages of our website, users can register to purchase products or services,
receive personalized content and participate in surveys or forums. When you
register, Candledark may ask you for some personal information.
If you're purchasing products or services, we may also
request financial information such as credit card or bank account information.
Any financial information we collect is used only to bill you for the products
and services you purchased. If you purchase by credit card, this information may
be forwarded to your credit card provider. For other types of registrations, we
will ask for your name, address, e-mail address or telephone number. We may then
contact you with information about Candledark’s products and services.
You may also be asked to disclose personal information to us
so that we can provide technical support assistance and information to you. For
example, we may collect personal information from you (such as an e-mail
address, system information and problem descriptions) in order to provide online
technical support and troubleshooting. If you choose to correspond with us
through electronic communication (e.g. email, online chat or instant messaging),
we may retain a copy of the electronic communication together with your email
address and our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic
communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received by mail
and telephone.
Some pages of Candledark’s website may make chat
rooms, forums, message boards, news groups or instant messaging available to
you. Please remember that any information disclosed in these areas are public.
You should exercise caution when disclosing personal information in these areas.
Don't disclose information in these public forums that might be considered
confidential – such as financial information, social security numbers,
passwords or email addresses. Users should be aware that when they voluntarily
disclose personally identifiable information on the bulletin boards or in the
chat areas, that information and any substantive information disclosed in the
communication can be collected and used by third parties. This could result in
unsolicited messages from others who post on such sites and are beyond the
control of Candledark.
As a security measure and to ensure that our website and
computer network remain available to all customers, Candledark may use software
programs to monitor network traffic or to identify unauthorized attempts to
upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. These software programs
may also collect information regarding your use of our website and computer
network.
How We Use Your Information
Candledark.Net uses the information we collect to notify you
about your account and to notify you about changes to the terms and conditions
governing your use of our website, products and services. We may also use the
information we collect to notify you about other products and services we think
you will find valuable and about special offers. You may notify us of your
desire not to receive notifications relating to new products and services and
special offers by "opting-out" as provided for below.
Candledark may also provide aggregate information about our
customers, this website’s traffic patterns and related website usage
information to our affiliates and reputable third parties, but this information
will not include personally identifying data. We take measures to select product
or service providers that are responsible and afford similar privacy protections
to their customers. However, we do not make any representations about the
practices and policies of these companies.
If you don't want to receive promotional materials from Candledark.Net, you may opt out at any time. You
may "opt out" at any time by contacting us.
Upon opting-out, Candledark will take reasonable efforts to delete a
user's personal information from its database. However, please note that it may
be impossible to entirely delete a user's information because some residual
information may reside on backups or records of deletions.
How We Protect Your Information
Candledark uses technical security measures to prevent the
loss, misuse, alteration or unauthorized disclosure of information under our
control.
When we ask customers or users to provide financial
information (such as a credit card number) that data is protected using Secure
Sockets Layer ("SSL") technology. However, please note that electronic
communication (e.g. email, online chat or instant messaging) that you may send
to us may not be secure unless we advise you in advance that security measures
will be in place prior to your transmitting the information. For that reason, we
ask that you do not send confidential information such as financial information,
social security numbers or passwords to us through unsecured electronic
communication.
Access to Your Information
Candledark will share or disclosure your personal data in
four ways:
• as required by law, in a matter of public safety
or policy, or as compelled by a court of law;
• with other affiliates or partners of Candledark (as described above);
• with agents and contractors who use such
information on behalf of Candledark.Net or in connection with administering or
delivering products and services on behalf of Candledark; and
• as needed in connection with the transfer of
business assets.
