Our
Commitment To Privacy
Your privacy is important to microNERD. To better
protect your privacy we provide this notice
explaining our online information practices and the
choices you can make about the way your information
is collected and used. To make this notice easy to
find, we make it available on our website.
microNERD reserves the right to change this Privacy
Policy at any time. Such changes, modifications,
additions or deletions shall be effective
immediately upon posting on-line at this location.
You acknowledge and agree that it is your
responsibility to review this site and this Policy
periodically and to be aware of any modifications.
You may identify whether microNERD has revised this
Privacy Policy by noting the "Effective Date" above.
Your continued use of the site after such
modifications will constitute your: (a)
acknowledgment of the modified Policy; and (b)
agreement to abide and be bound by the modified
Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, please
do not access or use this site.
Types of Information
Collected
In order to better provide you with our numerous
services, we collect two types of information about
our users: Personal Information and Non-Personal
Information.
Personal Information
When you order services through microNERD, we
request certain personally identifiable information
from you on our order form to us to allow us to
process your order, provide you with the services
you order from us, and to provide ongoing technical
support for your account. You must provide contact
information (such as name, email, phone number, and
address) and financial information (such as credit
card number, expiration date). By purchasing our
services, you agree to provide and maintain
accurate, complete and updated information.
After you have ordered our services, we may be in
communication with you about your account. These
communications are essential to our relationship
with you and to our ability to provide you with
quality services that are responsive to your needs.
As a result, we may maintain information about our
communications with you for future use.
Disclosure of Personal
Information
We use the information you provide about yourself
when placing an order only to provide service to
that order. We do not share this information with
outside parties except to the extent necessary to
provide service. In the event that this policy
changes, we will provide you with an opportunity to
opt out or otherwise prohibit the disclosure of your
information to third parties for any purpose other
than your ordering and ongoing use of our services.
We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personal
Information to others. We do provide some of our
services through contractual arrangements with
affiliates, services providers, partners and other
third parties. We and our service partners use your
Personal Information to operate our sites and to
deliver our services. For example, we must release
your credit card information to the card-issuing
bank to confirm payment for products and services
purchased on this site or release your address
information to the delivery service to deliver
products that you ordered.
Occasionally, microNERD may be required by law
enforcement or judicial authorities to provide
Personal Information to the appropriate governmental
authorities. We will disclose Personal Information
upon receipt of a court order or subpoena or to
cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We
fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in
identifying those who use microNERD services for
illegal activities. We reserve the right to report
to law enforcement agencies any activities that
microNERD in good faith believe to be unlawful.
microNERD may also use the Personal Information
collected to contact customers regarding important
changes to our site, new services and special offers
we think you will find valuable. You will be given
the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to
receive these offers through our client portal or by
sending an email request at
support@microNERD.com.
Non-Personal Information
microNERD collects tracking data when users visit
our websites. Whenever you request a page through
your browser, navigation data such as your IP
address, browser and version, operating system, date
and time and the site from which you came are stored
in a log file. We use this data to analyze visitors'
use of our site in order to make improvements to our
site.
Disclosure of Non-Personal
Information
microNERD may share this anonymous traffic and
demographic information in aggregate form with other
business partners. We do not share any information
with anyone that can identify an individual user.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a
users computer for record-keeping purposes.
microNERD may use both session ID cookies and/or
persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make
it easier for you to navigate our site. A session ID
cookie expires when you close your browser. A
persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an
extended period of time. You can remove persistent
cookies by following directions provided in your
Internet browsers help file.
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. The
microNERD website uses industry-standard Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages
where personal information is required. When
entering Personal Information, we strongly recommend
an SSL-enabled web browser.
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.
Access To Your Personal
Information
You always have access to the information we have
about you. To review and update your personal
contact information, simply log into your
client
area. You may also email
billing@microNERD.com to
have the information changed.
