Our user profile : We store information that we collect through cookies, log files, clear gifs, and/or third parties to create a profile of our users.  A profile is stored information that we keep on individual users that details their viewing preferences.  Consequently, collected information is tied to the users personally identifiable information to provide offers and improve the content of the site for the user. This profile is used to tailor a user’s visit to our Website, and to direct pertinent marketing promotions to them. Your profile will NEVER BE SHARED with any third parties.

We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies.  For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates.  A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user’s hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.

Log Files: Like most standard Website servers we use log files.  This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.  IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.  We use our in-house tracking utility that uses log files to analyze user movement.

1upNetBusiness will collect information generated by its web servers for the purpose of assessing the technical performance of its systems and to enhance service levels.

Clear Gifs: 1upNetBusiness’ email may employ clear gifs technology. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies and are used to track online navigation which helps us to better gauge user preferences.

For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send you an email. Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive them, you have the option to deactivate your account.

We never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

• We have reason to suspect that unlawful activity has been, is being/ may be engaged in and the use or disclosure of your personal information is a necessary part of our investigation of the matter/ in reporting our concerns to relevant persons/ authorities.

We may provide non-identifying  aggregate information and statistics about our customers, sales traffic patterns and related site information to third parties but these statistics will not include individual personal information.

Our commitment to children's privacy: Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our Website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our Website is structured to attract anyone under 13.

How you can correct  information: You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information by sending us a request that credibly shows error.

To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.

Third party intermediaries: We DO NOT share personal information with third parties. We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.

Advertisements appearing on this Website may be delivered to users by a third party advertising partner. We may share Website usage information about users with our advertising partners for the purpose of targeting our Internet banner advertisements on this site. Such information will not be linked to personally-identifiable information. Our advertising partners may use cookies and/or clear GIFs, which allow them to recognize a user when a user visits this Website.

Our service providers: We may from time to time partner with other third parties to provide specific services.  When the user signs up for these particular services, we may share names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services.  These third parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.

Business transitions: In the event 1upNetBusiness goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users’ personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.  Users will be notified via email & prominent notice on our Website for 30 days prior to a change of ownership or control of their personal information. If as a result of the business transition, the users’ personally identifiable information will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection they will be given choice consistent with our notification of changes section.

Choice/Opt-out: Our users are given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for information.  For example, our order form has an ‘opt-out’ mechanism so users who buy a product from us, but don’t want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our lists. 

Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email.

Links:  This Website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that 1upNetBusiness, is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.  We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Website that collects personally identifiable information.  This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Website.

Tell-A-Friend: If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend’s name and email address. 1upNetBusiness will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site.  1upNetBusiness store this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of our referral program.

Our commitment to data security: To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. 1upNetBusiness takes every precaution to protect our users’ information.  When users submit sensitive information via the Website, their information is protected both online and off-line.

When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL.  While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just ‘surfing’. 

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line.  All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices.  Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information.  Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desk.  When they return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain access to user information.  Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.  Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our users’ information is protected. The servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment, behind a locked cage in a locked facility. 

Supplementation of information: In order for 1upNetBusiness to properly fulfill its obligation to users it is necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with information from 3rd party sources.

Credit check: For example, to determine if users qualify for one of our credit cards, we use their name and social security number to request a credit report.  Once we determine a user’s credit-worthiness, this document is destroyed.

Purchasing history: In order for our Website/s  to enhance its ability to tailor the site to a user’s preference, we combine information about the purchasing habits of users with similar information from our partners to create a personalized user profile. 

Enhancement of marketing profile: We purchase third party marketing data and add it to our existing user database to better target our advertising and provide pertinent offers we think our users would be interested in.  We use this information to enhance or overlay the ‘profile’ of individual users. This aggregate marketing data is therefore tied to the users’ personally identifiable information.

Legal Disclaimer: Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Website.

Notification of Changes :  We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you  by means of a notice on our home page. All such changes shall be binding on you 30 days after they are initially posted on the Websites unless you are a new user, in which case they are binding on you immediately.

We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.   If, however, we are going to use users’ personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. 

However, if users have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in this new manner. 

If you have questions/ concerns regarding this statement, you should contact Customer Service by email at Domains1upNetBusiness.com.
