PRIVACY POLICY |
|
We have created this Privacy
Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy and
security. This Privacy Policy describes how Pioneering Solutions
collects information from all end users of Pioneering Solutions
Internet and web hosting services (the "Services")-those who
access some of our Services but do not have accounts
("Visitors") as well as those who pay a service fee to
subscribe to the Service ("Members")-what we do with the
information we collect, and the choices Visitors and Members
have concerning the collection and use of such information.
Pioneering Solutions requests that you read this Privacy Policy
carefully. |

Personal Information Pioneering Solutions Collects and How It Is Used |
| |
-
Introduction: Pioneering Solutions collects information
in different ways from Visitors and Members who access the
various parts of our Services and the network of Web sites
accessible through our Service. We use this information
primarily to provide a customized experience as you use our
Services and, generally, do not share this information with
third parties. However, we may disclose personal information
collected if we have received your permission beforehand or in
very special circumstances, such as when we believe that such
disclosure is required by law or other special cases described
below.
-
Registration:
Members are asked to provide certain personal information when
they sign up for our Services including name, address,
telephone number, billing information (such as a credit card
number), and the type of personal computer being used to
access the Services. The personal information collected from
Members during the registration process is used to manage each
Member's account (such as for billing purposes). This
information is not shared with third parties, unless
specifically stated otherwise or in special circumstances.
However, in instances where Pioneering Solutions and a partner jointly
promote the Services, Pioneering Solutions may provide the partner
certain personal information, such as the name, address, and
username of persons who subscribed to the Services as a result
of the joint promotion for the sole purpose of allowing us and
the partner to assess the results of the promotion. In this
instance, personal information may not be used by the partner
for any other purpose. Pioneering Solutions may also generate
non-identifying and aggregate profiles from personal
information Members provide during registration (such as the
total number, but not the names, of Members). As explained in
more detail below, we may use this aggregated and
non-identifying information to sell advertisements that appear
on the Services.
-
Pioneering Solutions Partners and
Sponsors: Some Pioneering Solutions products and services are offered to Visitors and
Members in conjunction with a non-affiliated partner. To
provide Visitors and Members some of these products and
services, the partner may need to collect and maintain
personal information. Pioneering Solutions will share nonidentifying
and aggregate information (except as described above), but not
personal information, with such partners in order to
administer the co-branded products or services offered.
-
Online Advertisements: From time to time, Pioneering Solutions may display online
advertisements. We share aggregated and non-identifying
information about our Visitors and Members collected through
the registration process as well as through online surveys and
promotions with these advertisers. Additionally, in some
instances, we use this aggregated and non-identifying
information to deliver tailored advertisements. For instance,
an advertiser tells us the audience they want to reach (for
example, males between 25 and 55 years of age) and provides us
an advertisement tailored to the audience. Based upon the
aggregated and non-identifying information we have collected,
we may then display the advertisement to the intended
audience. Pioneering Solutions does not share personal information
about its Visitors or Members with these advertisers.
-
Responses to Email
Inquiries: When
Visitors or Members send email inquiries to Pioneering Solutions, the
return email address is used to answer the email inquiry we
receive. Pioneering Solutions does not use the return email address for
any other purpose and does not share the return email address
with any third party.
-
Voluntary Customer Surveys: We may periodically conduct both business and individual
customer surveys. We encourage our customers to participate in
these surveys because they provide us with important
information that helps us to improve the types of services we
offer and how we provide them to you. Your personal
information and responses will remain strictly confidential,
even if the survey is conducted by a third party.
Participation in our customer surveys is voluntary.
-
We take the information we
receive from individuals responding to our Customer Surveys
and combine (or aggregate) it with the responses of other
Pioneering Solutions customers to create broader, generic responses to the
survey questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies,
education, employment, industry sector, or other demographic
information). We then use the aggregated information to
improve the quality of our services to you, and to develop new
services and products. This aggregated, non-personally
identifying information may be shared with third parties.
-
Special Cases: It is Pioneering
Solution's policy not to
use or share the personal information about Visitors of
Members in ways unrelated to the ones described above without
also providing you an opportunity to opt out or otherwise
prohibit such unrelated uses. However, Pioneering Solutions may
disclose personal information about Visitors or Members, or
information regarding your use of the Services or Web sites
accessible through our Services, for any reason if, in our
sole discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to do so,
including: to satisfy laws, such as the Electronic
Communications Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental or
legal requests for such information; to disclose information
that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action
against someone who may be violating our Terms of Service or
other user policies; to operate the Services properly; or to
protect Pioneering Solutions and our Members.

Solutions Uses Them: A
"cookie" is a small data file that can be placed on your hard
drive when you visit certain Web sites. Pioneering Solutions may use
cookies to collect, store, and sometimes track information for
statistical purposes to improve the products and services we
provide and to manage our telecommunications networks. If you

non-Pioneering Solutions Web sites where you are prompted to log in or

not control use of these cookies and expressly disclaim

Public Forums: Please remember that any
information you may disclose in public areas of our Web sites
or the Internet, becomes public information. You should
exercise caution when deciding to disclose personal
information in these public areas.
-
Pioneering Solution's Commitment to
Data Security: Services and Web sites we sponsor or host have security
measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration
of the information under our control. While we make every
effort to ensure the integrity and security of our network and
systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will
prevent third-party "hackers" from illegally obtaining this
information.
