METAPROS
PRIVACY POLICY
MetaProfessionals,
Inc. ("MetaPros") has created this privacy
statement in order to demonstrate our commitment
to privacy to our customers and users of our
consulting services, online services, websites,
and web services ("Services").
This privacy policy governs the manner in which
MetaPros uses, maintains and discloses
information collected from its customers and
users of our Services.
1. Privacy
MetaPros is committed to developing long lasting
relationships based on trust. As such, MetaPros
will do everything in its power to ensure that
your right to privacy is maintained and
protected.
2. Information We Collect
MetaPros may request or collect personal
information from online users in a variety of
ways, including through online forms for
ordering products and services, and other
instances where users are invited to volunteer
such information.
The information we collect is personal
information that identifies you personally, such
as:
* First & last name
* Postal address
* Telephone and fax numbers
* URL
* E-mail address
* Credit card information
* Other billing information
MetaPros may also collect information about how
users access our Services using a tracking ID
unique to each user through the use of cookies
or other similar means.
3. What are Cookies?
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's
computer tied to information about the user. We
may use both session ID cookies and persistent
cookies. For session ID cookies, once you close
your browser or log out, the cookie terminates
and is erased. A persistent cookie is a small
text file stored on your computer’s hard drive
for an extended period of time.
Your browser’s help file contains information
and instructions for removing persistent
cookies. Session ID cookies may be used by
MetaPros to track user preferences while the
user is using our Services. They also help to
minimize load times and save on server
processing. Persistent cookies may be used by
MetaPros to store whether, for example, you want
your password remembered or not, and other
information. Cookies used on MetaPros websites
do not contain personally identifiable
information.
4. Log Files
Like most standard websites, we use log files.
This information may include internet protocol
(IP) addresses, browser type, internet service
provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform
type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to
analyze trends, administer the site, track
user's movement in the aggregate, and gather
broad demographic information for aggregate use.
However, none of the information stored in our
log files, including but not limited to IP
addresses, is linked to personally identifiable
information.
5. How we use this Information
MetaPros may use the personally identifiable
information collected by MetaPros to contact
customers regarding products and services
offered by MetaPros and, to the extent the User
has agreed to it, by its trusted affiliates,
independent contractors and business partners.
We may also use this information for research
purposes regarding the effectiveness of our
Services and marketing and sales efforts.
MetaPros will not in any way share this
information with a third party either for free
or by selling it, unless you specifically
authorize such disclosures.
6. Disclosure of Information
MetaPros may also disclose aggregate, anonymous,
data based on information collected from Users
to investors and potential partners. In such
cases, statistical information only will be
disclosed and personally identifiable data will
be kept strictly confidential. In case MetaPros
is sold, the information collected from users
may be transferred to the new owners.
MetaPros may from time to time engage third
parties, including its own subsidiaries and
affiliated companies, to preserve, analyze or
otherwise store or manipulate data received by
MetaPros from its customers. In all such cases,
such third party service providers will be
required to treat all such data with the same
degree of care as MetaPros and they will be
prohibited from disclosing such data to any
other person or party, except as otherwise
provided for in this Privacy Policy.
7. Special Offers and Updates
Our customers and users will occasionally
receive information on products, services,
special deals, and possibly a newsletter. Out of
respect for the privacy of our users we present
the option to not receive these types of
communications.
8. Service Announcements
Occasionally it is necessary to send out a
strictly service related announcement.
Generally, users may not opt-out of these
communications, though they can deactivate their
account. However, these communications are not
promotional in nature.
9. Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve your
privacy, we may need to disclose personal
information when required by law, if we have a
good-faith belief that such action is necessary
and required to comply with a current judicial
proceeding, a court order or legal process
served on MetaPros.
MetaPros websites contain links to other sites.
Please be aware that MetaPros is not responsible
for the privacy practices of such other sites.
We encourage you to read the privacy statements
of each and every Web site that collects
personally identifiable information. The
MetaPros Privacy Policy as described herein
applies solely to information collected by
MetaPros.
10. Maintenance of Information
The information provided to MetaPros is saved
indefinitely and may be stored on one or more
databases directly or indirectly maintained by
MetaPros. MetaPros employs industry standard
security measures to protect the confidentiality
of the information.
While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or
alteration to data will not occur; we make every
effort to prevent such occurrences. Any other
particularly sensitive information, such as
credit card numbers collected for commercial
transactions, is encrypted prior to transmission
by you to MetaPros.
11. Your Responsibility
You are responsible for the security of the
login information, such as usernames and
passwords, which give you access to your private
information maintained by MetaPros. Make sure
you keep login information in a safe place and
do not share it with others.
Note that key-loggers, viruses, or other
surveillance devices can intercept login
information on the computers from which you
access our Services, so you should take
precautions regarding such devices, especially
from public computers. In addition, you should
always log out from any relevant Services when
you are not actively using them.
