DataSynapse Privacy Policy

Your privacy on the Internet is important to DataSynapse. As part of the operation of DataSynapse, certain pieces of information are gathered about DataSynapse Contacts and/or Customers. As a customer-first oriented company, DataSynapse insists that our entire firm conform to the highest possible standards of permission from email recipients and will never knowingly participate in the distribution of unsolicited email. Any data, including email addresses, are the property of our customers and contacts and are used under the conditions specified by our customer's directed contact choices. DataSynapse makes every effort to protect your contact information or prevent that data from being known to any other entity. If you ask to be removed from our marketing contact lists then we will do so promptly.

THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS MESSAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ACCURACY, ADEQUACY, OR ANY OTHER KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. DATASYNAPSE, INC. SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES, IN CONNECTION WITH ITS TRANSMISSION OF, OR THE RECIPIENT'S OR ANY THIRD PARTY'S USE OF AND/OR RELIANCE ON, THIS INFORMATION, REGARDLESS OF LEGAL THEORY AND WHETHER OR NOT DATASYNAPSE, INC. HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH.

Prospective Customers
As part of the DataSynapse Contact and/or Customer registration process, the prospective Contact and/or Customer is asked to provide an email address and select categories of potential interest. The prospective Contact and/or Customer, at their option, may voluntarily provide additional information, including personal, geographic and demographic information. In addition to the information provided by Contacts and/or Customers, DataSynapse may also collect information about DataSynapse Contacts and/or Customers from third party sources. Furthermore, DataSynapse monitors incoming and outgoing Web site traffic data to help diagnose problems with its servers and to administer its Web site. DataSynapse also uses this data to assemble broad demographic information about its Contacts and/or Customers in general. The purpose of this data collection is to ensure that DataSynapse Contacts and/or Customers receive only the most relevant, targeted offers and information from DataSynapse and for no other purpose.

DataSynapse uses "Contact" data as a way for customers, potential customers and various Contacts to communicate with our team. DataSynapse collects the information supplied by the sender of the "Contact" form in order to establish and maintain relationships for the purposes of providing you information and timely news about DataSynapse and its solutions and services.

DataSynapse also uses email links located on various DataSynapse web pages to allow you to contact DataSynapse with questions or comments you may have. DataSynapse welcomes these email communications and makes efforts to respond to any such communication when appropriate. Email communications and the ideas sent to DataSynapse in these email communications become the property of DataSynapse. DataSynapse uses the email communications to evaluate and improve its services and Web site. DataSynapse may also save these email communications for future reference or use.

As discussed above, DataSynapse may, from time to time, obtain information about its Contacts and/or Customers from third party sources. In addition, DataSynapse may, from time to time, assist third parties in developing, implementing and monitoring advertising campaigns using data owned or supplied by the third party. Please be aware that our Privacy Policy does not cover the conduct or practices of these third party sources. Our Privacy Statement only covers DataSynapse's treatment of this information. However, DataSynapse will treat information that it receives from third party sources according to the terms of our own strict Privacy Policy.

Confidentiality
DataSynapse will not provide personally identifiable information of an DataSynapse Contact except as noted under "Limits of Confidentiality" (see below). DataSynapse will under no circumstance knowingly reveal any Contact and/or Customer's identity to marketers. It is solely at an DataSynapse Contact and/or Customer's discretion if he or she chooses to provide any information to DataSynapse.

Limits of Confidentiality
Due to the existing legal, regulatory and security environment, DataSynapse may be required, under certain circumstances, to disclose aggregate level and/or personally identifiable information about its Contacts and/or Customers. DataSynapse will use its best efforts to limit such disclosure to the following: where DataSynapse believes in good faith that it is required to do so in response to a subpoena or other legal process; where reasonably required to do so in order to maintain, update or otherwise implement DataSynapse's data security measures, equipment, technical operations and the like; or where reasonably necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against persons or entities to preserve and/or enforce DataSynapse's rights.

Protection of Contact and/or Customer Information
DataSynapse undertakes substantial efforts to protect the confidentiality of the identity, preferences and other information it has collected about individual Contacts and/or Customers and will never knowingly allow access to this information to anyone outside DataSynapse other than as described above under the Limits of Confidentiality. DataSynapse has made a substantial investment in its server, database, backup and firewall technologies to protect the information assets of the DataSynapse Network, including the confidentiality of information collected about DataSynapse Contacts and/or Customers. These technologies are deployed as part of a sophisticated security architecture and protocol.

You should also do your part in protecting your information. Your DataSynapse Contact and/or Customer name and any password (if such is provided or enacted) are confidential and we recommend that you not divulge them to anyone. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the Internet as a public transmission network, neither DataSynapse network nor data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect Contact and/or Customer information that is transmitted to us by you, DataSynapse cannot ensure or warrant the security of such Contact and/or Customer information. Thus, any information a Contact and/or Customer transmits to us is done so at the Contact and/or Customer's own risk. Once we receive Contact and/or Customer information, DataSynapse undertakes substantial efforts to protect the confidentiality of this information consistent with this Policy.

Reviewing or Modifying Contact and/or Customer Information or Terminating Contacts and/or Customers Membership
An DataSynapse Contact and/or Customer may choose at any time to review, modify or permanently remove the information stored by DataSynapse about that Contact and/or Customer by sending an email to unsubscribe@datasynapse.com to terminate the account. If a Contact and/or Customer terminates their Contacts and/or customer relationship, the past Contact and/or Customer will no longer receive any communications from DataSynapse. DataSynapse will not sell, rent, or otherwise use the information about former Contacts and/or Customers.

Policy Changes
The foregoing policy is effective as of January 2008. DataSynapse reserves the right to change this policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of DataSynapse's services following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes. DataSynapse will take reasonable measures to notify you if there is a material change in our privacy practices with respect to use of the information you have provided to DataSynapse. DataSynapse will conspicuously post these changes in our Privacy Policy. DataSynapse also will post a message on the home page of its Web site that states that the Privacy Policy has been changed, and will provide a link to the Privacy Policy. These postings will occur on DataSynapse's Web site at least 30 days prior to any material change.
