WEB VISITORS

Like most web site operators, COVERT NINE collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. COVERT NINE’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how COVERT NINE’s visitors use its web site. From time to time, COVERT NINE may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its web site.

COVERT NINE also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on the sites we provide Services for. COVERT NINE only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the site where the comment was left.

GATHERING PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

Certain visitors to COVERT NINE’s web sites choose to interact with COVERT NINE in ways that require COVERT NINE to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that COVERT NINE gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a site at COVERT NINE.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with COVERT NINE – by purchasing hosting service, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, COVERT NINE collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with COVERT NINE. COVERT NINE does not disclose personally-identifying information except to effectively deliver its services (for example, disclosing payment information to a third party payment processor to process credit card payments ) or other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain web site-related activities. Please note that the privacy of any personally identifying information disclosed to any third party pursuant to these terms may be subject to such third party’s privacy policies. If you have any questions about any disclosures of personally identifiable information which may be connected to your account, please contact COVERT NINE directly.

PROTECTION OF CERTAIN PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

COVERT NINE discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on COVERT NINE’s behalf or to provide services available at COVERT NINE’s web sites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using COVERT NINE’s web sites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. COVERT NINE will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, COVERT NINE discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when COVERT NINE believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of COVERT NINE, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an COVERT NINE web site and have supplied your email address, COVERT NINE may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with COVERT NINE and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum.

COOKIES

A cookie is a string of information that a web site stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the web site each time the visitor returns. COVERT NINE uses cookies to help COVERT NINE identify and track visitors, their usage of COVERT NINE web site, and their web site access preferences. COVERT NINE visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using COVERT NINE’s web sites, with the drawback that certain features of COVERT NINE’s web sites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

BUSINESS TRANSFERS

If COVERT NINE, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that COVERT NINE goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of COVERT NINE may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

COMMENTS

Comments and other content submitted to our Services are not saved on our servers unless they were marked as false positives, in which case we store them long enough to use them to improve the Services to avoid future false positives.

PRIVACY POLICY CHANGES

Although most changes are likely to be minor, COVERT NINE may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in COVERT NINE’s sole discretion. COVERT NINE encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a COVERT NINE account, you should also check your site’s dashboard for alerts to these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
