PRIVACY POLICY
TOUCH TECHNOLOGIES, INC ("TTI") is
committed to providing users of its Services with an understanding of how
TTI gathers and uses information, as well as the precautions taken by TTI
to protect information concerning its Users. This Privacy Policy is
incorporated into and is a part of the Terms and Conditions of Use; it
describes TTI's policies and procedures for the collection and use of
personal information provided by the User as well as non-personally
identifiable information.
Personally identifiable information
TTI collects personally identifiable information directly from the User
only when the User voluntarily enters information, or when the User requests
or agrees that TTI send the User information or materials. TTI may also
collect information through the use of promotional email campaigns or
newsletters.
The types of personally identifiable information TTI may collects include
e-mail address, full name, full address, work, home or mobile phone numbers,
age, gender and viewing preferences. TTI currently uses the information for
the purposes of providing the User with information requested by the User,
and service information, and to allow the User to voluntarily participate in
events, promotions, contests or sweepstakes. TTI may also use personally
identifiable information to process user requests and/or to send the User
communications from TTI such as news, information and promotional offers.
If the User requests information for certain offers, promotions, contests or
sweepstakes, TTI may forward the User's personal information to a third
party for the purposes of supporting TTI in these services.
TTI may disclose your personal and account information to respond to court
subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes, as required by law, or to
establish or exercise TTI legal rights or defend against legal claims. Your
personal and account information may also be disclosed in connection with a
sale of some or all of the TTI business or a merger with another entity.
Within TTI, we restrict access to information and data about you to those
TTI employees who need to know the information and data in order to perform
their jobs, such as servicing your account, or notifying you of new services,
classes, and programs.
Your Obligations
For your protection, TTI strongly recommends that you do not share your
account information, passwords or code words with others. Administrators of
the Services will never ask you for your password by phone or e-mail. Do not
provide confidential information online or over the telephone unless you
initiated the contact, know the party with whom you are dealing, and provide
the information through a secured channel. When conducting business over the
Internet, always use a secure browser or client and exit online applications
as soon as you finish using them. If you become aware of any suspicious
activity relating to your account, it is your responsibility to contact TTI
immediately.
Security of Personally Identifiable Information
To protect your personal information, we maintain physical, electronic, and
procedural safeguards to ensure online data and information privacy and
security. We also use the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol to encrypt
sensitive information (e.g. credit card number or password) over the
Internet. However, TTI cannot guarantee the privacy and security of any
information or data that is disclosed online.
User Comments
The Services, including the TTI Internet sites, TTI mobile applications,
TTI-branded social media websites and third party websites that TTI may
use to host TTI bulletin boards, comments pages or other areas identified
as administered by TTI will occasionally allow User to post comments. By
posting comments, the User understands that a representative of TTI may
contact them regarding posted comments through contact information provided
by the User, including any User provided e-mail address.
Use of Cookies and non-personally identifiable information
By using the Services, the User makes available to TTI certain
non-personally identifiable information (such as the domain name and type of
the User's Internet server and browser or device, which pages or features of
the Services the User accesses, and the length of access). This statement
explains how TTI uses such information, and how the User can restrict the
use and collection of non-personally identifiable information from "cookies."
A "cookie" is a bit of text information stored on the hard drive of your
computer by an Internet web server when you visit or use the Services. The
User can choose not to accept cookies, but in so doing, the User may not be
able to access certain features on the Services. Refer to the Help
information in your browser or Internet provider site or software for
instructions on how to disable cookies, or to be notified when a cookie is
set. TTI may use "cookies" or store information on your device to track
usage of the Services, User interactions with the Services, and to customize
the Services.
TTI may use the non-personally identifiable information that is collected
by TTI to improve the design and content of TTI's Services and to enable
TTI to personalize your Internet or mobile application experience. Also,
TTI may use this information in the aggregate to analyze usage of the
Services, as well as to offer user products, programs, or other services.
Privacy and Our Apps or Website Features
TTI offers a number of apps or website features intended to make it easier
for you to access our Services on your mobile device or the Internet. By
using some of these apps or website features, you authorize us to display to
others certain information about you. (We will never provide other members or
users with your contact details.) We will tell you in the app or website
feature what information, if any, may be disclosed, and you can always decide
that app or website feature isn't for you. You also can stop using the app or
website feature by following the instructions within the app or website
feature, at which point any further disclosures of information will stop as
well.
Links to Other Sites
The Services may contain links to other Internet sites or resources that are
owned and operated by third parties. TTI is not responsible for the privacy
policies or practices of Internet sites or resources owned and operated by
third parties. TTI strongly suggests that you review such third party
Internet sites or resource privacy policies before providing any data or
information to them.
Changes or Deletions to Your Information
As an added protection to the User's privacy concerning personally
identifiable information collected by TTI, the User may request that his or
her personally identifiable information be changed, corrected or deleted from
our databases by accessing the "contact" link on our homepage. We reserve the
right, consistent with applicable law to preserve information necessary to
enforce our rights or to comply with a lawful order, subpoena or other legal
requirement.
