Privacy Policy

Individually Identifiable Information
Smotis, Inc recognizes that the growth of online services, including Internet services, has created many privacy concerns, particularly for consumers.

These concerns focus on protecting "individually identifiable" information that an individual or customer reasonably expects to be kept private. As the term suggests, individually identifiable information is information that can be associated with a specific individual or entity, such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address and/or information about online activities directly linked to them.

Some activities on the Internet follow very familiar patterns. Consumers signing up for an Internet access service are usually asked to provide information that is typical when the consumer orders a product or service. Similarly, business Web sites may ask visitors to supply information about themselves, particularly when information, services or merchandise are requested, but often simply to be able to better target the company's services to the customer's interests and requirements.

Smotis, Inc's Online Privacy Policy: Informed Choice
Smotis, Inc has developed the following online privacy policy to protect individually identifiable information. This policy covers Smotis, Inc and its subsidiaries and applies to all individually identifiable information that Smotis, Inc obtains when a customer registers for or uses a Smotis, Inc's services, including visiting a Smotis, Inc owned and controlled Web site. Smotis, Inc will continue to protect customer information derived from its services consistent with federal regulations issued by the Federal Communications Commission.

Smotis, Inc protects online individually identifiable information as follows:

Disclosure. Smotis, Inc will not sell, trade or disclose to third parties any individually identifiable information derived from the registration for or use of a Smotis, Inc service without the consent of the customer (except as required by subpoena, search warrant or other legal process or in the case of imminent physical harm to the customer or others). When Smotis, Inc uses other agents, contractors or companies to perform services on its behalf, Smotis, Inc will ensure that the company protects your individually identifiable information consistent with this policy. If Smotis, Inc includes your name and any other individually identifiable information in a directory that Smotis, Inc creates from information we receive as a service provider, the company will give you the opportunity to have your information excluded from that directory. Business directories that Smotis, Inc creates may, however, contain similar information obtained from other sources.

Collection and Use. Smotis, Inc will collect and use individually identifiable information for billing purposes, to anticipate and resolve problems with your service, or to create and inform you of products and services that better meet your needs. This means that Smotis, Inc may use your individually identifiable information to market new services to you that we think will be of interest to you, but we will not disclose your individually identifiable information to third parties who want to market products to you.

Customer Choice. A customer may choose not to receive direct marketing communications from Smotis, Inc. Upon such choice, Smotis, Inc (a) will not contact that customer directly with marketing messages about Smotis, Inc  services, and (b) will not use individually identifiable information obtained from that customer's registration for use of a service to contact that customer with marketing messages about any Smotis, Inc products or services. A customer may choose not to receive such messages by e-mail, by mail or by telephone.

Individually identifiable information that a visitor volunteers at one of Smotis, Inc's web sites will be protected just as if the information had been provided under more traditional ways of ordering that service.

Collection of usage data. Smotis, Inc servers automatically gather information about which sites customers visit on the Internet and which pages are visited within a Smotis, Inc Web site. The company does not use that information except in the aggregate.
