1. Acknowledgement
and acceptance of terms
RedFizz is committed to
protecting your privacy. This Privacy Statement sets forth our current privacy practices
with regard to the information we collect when you or your computer interact with
our website. By accessing http://www.RedFizz.com,
you acknowledge and fully understand RedFizz’s Privacy Statement and freely consent
to the information collection and use practices described in this Website Privacy
Statement.
2. Participating Merchant Policies
Related services and offerings
with links from this website, including vendor sites, have their own privacy statements
that can be viewed by clicking on the corresponding links within each respective
website. Online merchants and others who participate in RedFizz services are encouraged
to participate in industry privacy initiatives and to take a responsible attitude
towards consumer privacy. However,
since we do not have direct control over the policies or practices of participating
merchants and other third parties, we are not responsible for the privacy practices
or contents of those sites. We recommend
and encourage that you always review the privacy policies of merchants and other
third parties before you provide any personal information or complete any transaction
with such parties.
3. Information We Collect and
How We Use It
RedFizz collects certain
information from and about its users three ways: directly from our Web Server logs,
the user, and with Cookies.
a.
Web Server Logs.
When you visit our Website,
we may track information to administer the site and analyze its usage. Examples
of information we may track include:
-
Your Internet protocol address.
-
The kind of browser or computer you use.
-
Number of links you click within the site.
-
State or country from which you accessed the site.
-
Date and time of your visit.
-
Name of your Internet service provider.
-
Web page you linked to our site from.
-
Pages you viewed on the site.
b. Use of Cookies
RedFizz may
use cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience.
A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page
server. Cookies cannot be used to run
programs or deliver viruses to your computer.
Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web Server
in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the
primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web
page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific
information on subsequent visits. Hence,
this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation
by providing and saving your preferences and login information as well as providing
personalized functionality..
RedFizz reserves the right
to share aggregated site statistics with partner companies, but does not allow other
companies to place cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding
customer value (such as merging into RedFizz.com a site that relies on third-party
cookies).
You have the ability to
accept or decline cookies. Most Web
browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting
to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings then
be aware that this may disable some of the functionality on our Website.

Personal Information Users
Visitors to our website
can register to purchase services.
When you register, we will request some personal information such as an email address
and other relevant information. If
you are purchasing a service, we will request financial information.
Any financial information we collect is used only to bill you for the services
you purchased. If you purchase by credit
card, this information may be forwarded to your credit card provider. For other
types of registrations, we will ask for the relevant information. You may also be
asked to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide assistance and
information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in order to provide
online technical support and troubleshooting.
We will not disclose personally
identifiable information we collect from you to third parties without your permission
except to the extent necessary including:
§
To fulfill your service requests for services.
§
To protect ourselves from liability,
§
To respond to legal process or comply with law, or
§
In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the company.
4. Use of Web Beacons or GIF files
RedFizz Web pages may contain
electronic images known as Web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs
– that allow RedFizz to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver
co-branded services. RedFizz may include
Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine
whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons
may be placed by third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness
of our advertising campaigns or email communications.
These Web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent
cookie on your computer. This allows
the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages
or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views, which
in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which advertisements and emails
bring you to our website and how you use the site.
RedFizz prohibits Web beacons from being used to collect or access your personal
information.
5. Accessing Web
Account Information
We will provide you with
the means to ensure that personally identifiable information in your web account
file is correct and current. You may
review this information by contacting us by submitting a message via the following
form to our support attendant -- http://redfizz.com/rf/contact.aspx.
6. Changes to this Statement
RedFizz has the discretion
to occasionally update this privacy statement.
When we do, we will also revise the “updated” date at the top of this Privacy
page. We encourage you to periodically
review this privacy statement to stay informed about how we are helping to protect
the personal information we collect.
Your continued use of the service constitutes your agreement to this privacy statement
and any updates.
