3. Information We Collect
and How We Use It
Iteya collects certain information
from and about its users
three ways: directly from
our Web Server logs, the
user, and with Cookies.
a. When you visit our Website,
we may track information
to administer the site and
analyze its usage. Examples
of information we may track
include:
- Your Internet protocol
address.
- The kind of browser
or computer you use.
- Number of links you
click within the site.
- State or country from
which you accessed the
site.
- Date and time of your

b. Use of Cookies
Iteya
may use cookies to personalize
or enhance your user experience.
A cookie is a small text
file that is placed on your
hard disk by a Web page
server. Cookies cannot be
used to run programs or
deliver viruses to your
computer. Cookies are uniquely
assigned to you, and can
only be read by a Web Server
in the domain that issued
the cookie to you.
One of
the primary purposes of
cookies is to provide a
convenience feature to save
you time. For example, if
you personalize a web page,
or navigate within a site,
a cookie helps the site
to recall your specific
information on subsequent
visits. Hence, this simplifies
the process of delivering
relevant content and eases
site navigation by providing
and saving your preferences
and login information as
well as providing personalized
functionality.
Iteya
reserves the right to share
aggregated site statistics
with partner companies,
but does not allow other
companies to place cookies
on our website unless there
is a temporary, overriding
customer value (such as
merging into iteya.com a
site that relies on third–party
cookies).
You have
the ability to accept or
decline cookies. Most Web
browsers automatically accept
cookies, but you can usually
modify your browser setting
to decline cookies. If you
reject cookies by changing
your browser settings then
be aware that this may disable
some of the functionality
on our Website.
c. Personal Information
Users
Visitors
to our website can register
to purchase services. When
you register, we will request
some personal information
such as name, address, email,
telephone number or facsimile
number, account number and
other relevant information.
If you are purchasing a
service, we will request
financial information. Any
financial information we
collect is used only to
bill you for the 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 the relevant
information. You may also
be asked to disclose personal
information to us so that
we can provide assistance
and information to you.
For example, such data may
be warranted in order to
provide online technical
support and troubleshooting.
We will not disclose personally
identifiable information
we collect from you to third
parties without your permission
except to the extent necessary
including:
- To fulfill your service
requests for services.
- To protect ourselves
from liability,
- To respond to legal
process or comply with
law, or
- In connection with
a merger, acquisition,
or liquidation of the
company.
4. Use of Web Beacons or
GIF files
Iteya.com
Web pages may contain electronic
images known as Web beacons
– sometimes also called
single–pixel gifs
– that allow Iteya
to count users who have
visited those pages and
to deliver co–branded
services. Iteya may include
Web beacons in promotional
e–mail messages or
newsletters in order to
determine whether messages
have been opened and acted
upon.
Some of
these Web beacons may be
placed by third party service
providers to help determine
the effectiveness of our
advertising campaigns or
email communications. These
Web beacons may be used
by these service providers
to place a persistent cookie
on your computer. This allows
the service provider to
recognize your computer
each time you visit certain
pages or emails and compile
anonymous information in
relation to those page views,
which in turn enables us
and our service providers
to learn which advertisements
and emails bring you to
our website and how you
use the site. Iteya prohibits
Web beacons from being used
to collect or access your
personal information.
5. Accessing Web Account
Information
We will
provide you with the means
to ensure that personally
identifiable information
in your web account file
is correct and current.
You may review this information
by contacting us by sending
an email to our support
attendant –
info@iteya.com.
6. Changes to this Statement
Iteya
has the discretion to occasionally
update this privacy statement.
When we do, we will also
revise the "updated" date
at the top of this Privacy
page. We encourage you to
periodically review this
privacy statement to stay
informed about how we are
helping to protect the personal
information we collect.
Your continued use of the
service constitutes your
agreement to this privacy
statement and any updates.
