When you create an account at Netcom3.com, you can choose to save your billing and shipping information in the "My Account / View or Modify My Account Information" section of the Netcom3 website. You may log in to your account to change or delete this saved information anytime.

We may collect information about your visits to our websites, including the pages you view, the links you click, search terms you enter and other actions you take in connection with the Netcom3 websites and services. We may also collect certain information from the browser you used to come to our website, such as your Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type and language, access times, the Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") of the website that referred you to our website and to which URL you browse away from our site if you click on a link on our site.

When you receive newsletters or promotional e-mails from Netcom3, we may use web beacons (described below), customized links or similar technologies to determine whether the e-mail has been opened and which links you click. The data is used to help us determine the effectiveness of our communications with you, and to provide you with more focused communications.

In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions with Netcom3, information collected through one source may be combined with information obtained through other Netcom3 resources. We may also supplement the information we collect with information obtained from other parties as well.

Some Netcom3 services or products may be co-branded and offered in conjunction with another company. If you register for or use such services or products, both Netcom3 and the other company may receive information collected in conjunction with the co-branded services or products, and may use the information according to each company's privacy statement and other agreements with you.

How We Use Your Personal Information

Netcom3 uses your personal and technical information to:

  • Deliver the services and support, or carry out the transactions you have requested.
  • Send communications to you, such as your transactions status (for example, order confirmations), information about products and services available from Netcom3 and its corporate affiliates, promotional offers, newsletters, and surveys.
  • Customize, analyze, and improve our products, services (including our website), technologies, communications and relationship with you.
  • Enforce our conditions of sale, website terms and/or separate contracts (if applicable) with you.
  • Prevent fraud and other prohibited or illegal activities.

Personal information collected may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Netcom3 or its corporate affiliates, subsidiaries, agents or service providers maintain facilities, and by using Netcom3 products and services, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.

 

Disclosing Personal Information

We may share your personal information with corporate affiliates to carry out transactions you request or to make our business or that of our corporate affiliates more responsive to your needs. We may also disclose your personal information in connection with law enforcement, fraud prevention, or other legal action; as required by law or regulation; or if Netcom3 reasonably believes it is necessary to protect Netcom3, its customers or the public. In addition, we may share your personal information with business partners that help Netcom3 carry out transactions you request or that help Netcom3 to customize, analyze and/or improve our communications or relationship with you, and then only with business partners who share Netcom3's commitment to protecting your personal information. Except as described above, we will not disclose your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes unless you have provided consent.

As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy products, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing privacy policy (unless, of course, you consent otherwise). Also, in the event that Netcom3, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
