Paramount
Communication Group, Inc. - Privacy Policy
This statement is effective as of 1/2/03. For the most current version of the Paramount Communication Group, Inc. Privacy Statement, please visit www.ParamountCommunication.com
At Paramount, we respect the privacy needs of our valued
customers and members. This Privacy Policy outlines what specific information
is gathered on the Paramount site and how that information is used.
Paramount works to ensure highest degree of protection for consumers and businesses. In fact, our standards meet (and exceed) the U.S. Department of Commerce's "Safe Harbors" standards. We will continue to work to ensure that our website complies with strict standards for online privacy, security, business practices, transaction integrity and availability. If you have any specific questions about the Paramount Privacy Statement, please contact us via email at privacy@ParamountCommunication.com
Paramount explicitly
asks when we need information that personally identifies you ("Personal
Information"). Your personal information is used to create your personal
access to products on the site, and to contact you in the course of
using the products. Financial information that is collected is used
to verify identity, and to bill either you or your company for products
and services, as applicable. Demographic and profile data collected
by Paramount may be used to tailor the Website or any requested email
communications, and to display information that is more relevant to
you. Paramount also compiles demographic and product use information,
but in the aggregate only.
Under no circumstances will Paramount make any personal information about an individual user available
to anyone.
Your email address is used to only send you information that you have requested. As part of your use of any Paramount product, Paramount allows you to elect to receive, or not receive, certain information from Paramount. Paramount adheres strictly to permission-based email policy. Paramount will not send you unsolicited email information, commercial offers or advertisements. Paramount will not sell, rent, or loan our contact lists or our customer's contact lists (including customer data) to any outside firms nor will Paramount use customer contact lists for our own marketing purposes. All emails that you have requested will have an option to unsubscribe. Unsubscribe requests are fulfilled within minutes and no further communications will be sent to users who have stated that they do not wish to receive the specified information. All Paramount partners who offer you information via email from our Website must adhere to this unsubscribe policy.
While IP addresses (address of a computer) are logged to track a user's session, the user's identity is anonymous. Tracking IP addresses gives Paramount information about which parts of our site are used most often and what information is viewed. IP addresses are not linked to anything that can personally identify a visitor. Thus, session details are tracked, but the user is anonymous.
It is Paramount
policy to never provide your personal information to third parties without
your express permission or only in instances where such disclosure is
necessary to process payment transactions or provide services that you
have requested. We do not release personal information about you as
an individual. There are two exceptions to this policy. One - if Paramount
is compelled to do so by an appropriately empowered governmental authority.
Two - if Paramount makes the Paramount technology or services available
to you through its business partners. Paramount will not share with
them any more information than is necessary to perform the transaction
you have requested. Where you have purchased our services through a
Paramount partner, we may provide customer name and business volume
information to the partner. Such partners have agreed to use the information
only in regard to analyzing the success of the partnership arrangement.
Paramount only does business with partners who agree to respect our
Privacy Policy.
Paramount ensures
that all contact lists, email content and reports remain private and
confidential. Any use of Paramount systems must be in compliance with
our Acceptable Use Policy - to protect against inappropriate use (illegal,
abusive, obscene, threatening, etc.).
Paramount will not sell, rent, loan or allow external access to a customer's contact lists. Nor will Paramount themselves use customer's contact lists for any purpose.
Privacy,
anti-hacking and other security technology has been implemented throughout
our application system. Information exchanges and transactions, passwords,
contact lists (uploading and storing online) and billing related data
between you and our application system are protected using various
technologies (multiple PIX firewalls, etc.). This ensures a very high
degree of security.
Paramount allows you to purchase email marketing services
in a variety of ways. When credit card billing is chosen, information
is transferred to Paramount Clearing House Partner using industry-leading,
secure transmission technology including SSL and HTTPS (the transmission
standard used for transactions by major financial institutions). The
information is then encrypted using Data Encryption and stored securely
so that it is ready to handle your transactions.
Maintaining the privacy of your information is of paramount importance
to us as it helps foster confidence, goodwill and stronger relationships
with you, our customers. If, at any time, you have questions or concerns
about our privacy practices, please feel free contact us at privacy@ParamountCommunication.com.
