PRIVACY POLICY
Updated as of
April, 2010
Sirdar Global Operations
Limited,
www.carlbates.com and Carl Bates are
committed to protecting your privacy. We created this
Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate that commitment and
to ensure the confidence of visitors to our
CarlBates.com Web
site (the "Site").
All
information that you voluntarily
submit to us will be electronically delivered to our web
servers located in South Africa.
BY USING THIS SITE YOU CONSENT TO THE TRANSFER OF THIS
INFORMATION AND TO OUR USE OF SUCH DATA AS OUTLINED IN THIS
POLICY.
TYPES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED
We collect
two types of information:
1. Traffic
Data. Our Site automatically recognizes the following
non-personally identifiable information when you visit the
Site: (i) IP address; (ii) domain server; (iii) type of
computer; and (iv) type of web browser (collectively
"Traffic Data"). Traffic Data is anonymous information that
does not personally identify you, but is helpful for
marketing purposes and for improving your experience on the
Site. We use this information to examine our traffic in
aggregate and to ensure the security of the data and our
infrastructure.
2. Personal
Information Collected. In order for us to fully serve you
and for you to fully access certain services that we offer
via the Site, we require you to provide us with information
that personally identifies you or your company ("Personal
Information"). For example, we require accurate Personal
Information to, among other things, sign up for our ENews
Letter, access closed parts of the site, or send us your
feedback. Personal Information may include: (i) Contact Data
(such as your name, job title, occupation, phone number,
company name, company address, mailing and e-mail
addresses); (ii) Financial Data (such as your account or
credit card number); (iii) Demographic Data (such as your
zip code, age and income). If you communicate with us by
e-mail, post messages to any of our chat groups, bulletin
boards or forums, or otherwise complete online forms,
surveys, any information provided in such communication may
be collected as Personal Information. Our use of this
Personal Information is set forth below. SUBMITTING PERSONAL
INFORMATION IS YOUR CHOICE You may choose not to provide us
with any Personal Information. In such an event, you can
still access and use much of the Site; however you will not
be able to access and use those portions of the Site that
require your Personal Information.
USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED
The Personal
Information you enter on this Site is used to respond or
contact you when necessary and to provide our visitors with
a better Internet experience. When you register with
CarlBates.com, or subscribe to our
Newsletter, or attend certain online events, we collect
certain Personal Information from you including your name,
address, email address and telephone number. From time to
time, we aggregate Personal Information entered into our
Site in order to identify our demographic audience
(collective characteristics/ behavior) and to measure
overall interest in specific areas of the Site. By
aggregating the Personal Information into a form whereby we
can no longer personally identify you, we are allowed to
analyze how and where to best use our resources without
impinging on your privacy. CarlBates.com
may share such aggregated data with third parties and sales
prospects, and we may use this information for promotional
purposes. Also, CarlBates.com
occasionally makes contact information available to select
outside companies whose products or services we feel may be
of interest to you. Except as otherwise provided in this
Privacy Policy, we will keep your Personal Information
private unless such disclosure is necessary to:
a. Comply
with the law, a court order or legal process;
b. Protect our rights or property; or
c. Enforce our Terms of Use.
SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Your Personal
Information is stored on secure web servers that are not
accessible by third parties. However, while we take efforts
to ensure the integrity and security of our network and
systems, we cannot absolutely guarantee that our security
measures will prevent third-party "hackers" or other
malfeasants from illegally obtaining this information.
