What Personal Information About Customers Does Century Web Design Gather?
- Information You Give Us:
We receive and store any information you
enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. We use the information that
you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, providing our
services (e.g., domain name registration, DNS hosting), and communicating with
you.
- Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of
information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we
use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser
accesses our sites. Examples of the information we collect and analyze include
the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the
Internet; computer and connection information such as browser type and version,
operating system, and platform; the full Uniform Resource Locators (URL) click
stream to, through, and from our Web site, including date and time. We use IP
addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement, and
gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
What About Cookies?
- Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's
hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your
browser. Besides using the information as described above, Century Web Design utilizes cookies
to control the flow of the ordering processes by maintaining the state of your
online transactions.
Some of our business partners may use cookies on our
site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over
these cookies.
Does Century Web Design Share the Information It Receives?
Yes, we do share information but only as described below. Otherwise we will
not provide your personal information without your consent.
- WHOIS: We are required by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names
and Numbers ("ICANN"), the organization that assumes responsibility for domain
name allocation, to collect information about you during the domain name
registration process. This information includes your full name, mailing address,
phone number, email address, and, where provided, your facsimile number. ICANN
then requires all registrars to make your full name, mailing address, phone
number, email address, and, where provided, your facsimile number, as well as
the creation and expiration dates of your domain name registration and the name
server information associated with your domain name, to the public via an
interactive Web page and a "port 43" WHOIS service. For the purposes of this
Privacy Notice we will refer to this information as your "WHOIS Information."
Please note that we may not be able to control how members of the public may use
the WHOIS Information.
- Advertisers: We will share aggregated demographic information with
our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information
that can identify any individual person.
- Partners: We partner with other parties to provide specific services.
When the user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact
information that is necessary for the third party to provide these
services.
- Agents: We engage other companies and individuals to perform
functions on our behalf. Examples include processing credit card payments,
providing marketing assistance, providing customer services, sending postal mail
and email to you, removing repetitive information from customer lists, and
analyzing data. These persons have access to personal information needed to
perform their functions. These companies do not retain, share, store or use
personally identifiable information that you provide to Century Web Design for any secondary
purposes.
- Service Providers: We engage other companies and individuals to
perform enhanced services on our behalf. For example, we have engaged Critical
Path, Inc. to provide free electronic mail services to our domain name
registrants. In addition, certain of our enhanced services such as our Web Site
Generator require that we contact Internet directories and various search
engines on your behalf. Many of our service providers have access to personal
information needed to perform their services. These parties are not allowed to
use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing
these services.
- Business Transfer: As we continue to develop our business, we might
sell or buy businesses or their assets. In such transactions, customer
information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, if Century Web Design. or all or substantially all of its assets were ever to be acquired,
customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
- Compliance: We release account and other personal information when we
believe release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our Services
Agreement and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of
Century Web Design, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other
companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
How Secure Is Information About Me?
- We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by
using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input
and the information we may send to our agents.
- Century Web Design has gone to great lengths to ensure your information is securely
obtained and held in compliance with the Card Holder Information Security
Program. For example, we encrypt your credit card number before it is stored in
our database. This ensures that no one may access your credit card from our
system.
- It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your
password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared
computer.
