ServiceBeacon.com Privacy Statement

Privacy Policy

Stelland Software Corporation Inc. ("Stelland") respects the privacy of all of its users and is committed to protecting such privacy in accordance with this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy explains Stelland’s treatment of your personally identifiable information collected in connection with your activities on or related to all Stelland websites referencing this Privacy Policy (the "Stelland Sites") and all services made available on the Stelland Sites (collectively, unless noted otherwise, the "Stelland Services"). This Privacy Policy also explains how you can ask questions and make suggestions about our privacy practices and review and update your personal information.

We urge you to read this Privacy Policy carefully and to check back periodically as this Privacy Policy may change form time to time. Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies or websites that are not owned or controlled by Stelland.

INFORMATION COLLECTED

In the course of operating the Stelland Sites and Stelland Services, we may collect two types of information about our users: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.

"Personal Information" is personally identifiable information, such as your name, company, address, phone number, and email address. Stelland collects personal information when you choose to provide it to us when registering for or using a Stelland Service or choose to contact Stelland. We may also receive Personal Information from our clients, our business partners and other third parties, provided that such third parties confirm to us that you have permitted them to share such information.

Business contact information such as the name, title, business address, email address or telephone number of a business or professional person or an employee of an organization is not considered Personal Information.

"Non-Personal Information" is information of an anonymous nature, such as your Internet Protocol Address (IP Address), the domain you may have used to access a Stelland Service, the type and version of browser or operating system you may be using, and the website you may have come from and visit next. Aggregate information, such as demographic statistics of our users (e.g. average age and geographical allocation of our users), number of visitors and average time spent on a Stelland Service, is also considered Non-Personal Information.

Aggregate vehicle information such as the make, model, year and geographic locations of vehicles is also considered Non-Personal Information.

Non-Personal Information is collected or derived by us in the course of operating the Stelland Services. For example, our Web servers may automatically collect Non-Personal Information that is provided through your browser or stored on a Cookie when you choose to visit a Stelland Service. Non-Personal Information is used by Stelland as described here.

USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may use personal Information for the following purposes:

a. Providing you with the Stelland Services and information you have requested from us, including your use of the Stelland Sites. We may from time to time use your Personal Information to contact you about changes, enhancements or similar notices related to the Stelland Services;

b. If you indicated that you were interested in receiving offers or information from Stelland, our clients, business partners, or certain of our selected sponsors or advertisers, Stelland may post information within the pages of the Stelland Services, send you email materials and other mailings about products and services that we feel may be of interest to you. If at any time you would like to end your subscription to any such materials, follow the directions posted within the Stelland Services you have subscribed to;

c. Stelland may also use Personal Information if it has reasonable grounds to believe the information could be useful when investigating a contravention of a federal, provincial or foreign law or in order to protect or defend a legal interest.

DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will not sell or rent your Personal Information to anyone.

We will only disclose your Personal Information to third parties:

a. Where you have specifically given us your consent to disclose your Personal Information for a designated purpose;

b. Who are acting on our behalf as our agents, suppliers or service providers, solely to enable us to more efficiently provide you with the Stelland Services. Such entities act under strict contractual controls, requiring them to maintain the confidentiality of all such Personal Information and to use such information solely for purposes related to the provision of the Stelland Services;

c. As may be set out in the Terms and Conditions applicable to a Stelland Service, to facilitate the provision of such Stelland Service, such as fulfilling legal requirements;

d. As required by law, including by an order of any court, institution or body with jurisdiction or authority to compel the production of information, or in order to protect or defend a legal interest; or

e. In connection with a Stelland corporate re-organization, merger or amalgamation with another entity, or a sale of all or a substantial portion of the assets of Stelland provided that the Personal Information disclosed continues to be used for the purposes permitted by this Privacy Policy by the entity acquiring the information.

STELLAND USE OF NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION

In addition to Stelland's practices related to IP Addresses and Cookies, Non-Personal Information is used generally by Stelland to monitor and improve the operation of the Stelland Services, to perform statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of our users, to measure user demographics and interests regarding specific Stelland Services, to describe our services to third parties such as prospective clients, business partners and advertisers and to analyze how and where best to use our resources. No Personal Information will be disclosed during these activities.

Stelland may also use Non-Personal Information to inform our clients, sponsors and advertisers as to the performance of a particular advertisement. In such case we may disclose to those third-party sponsors and advertisers the overall aggregate demographics available regarding, for example who saw and "clicked" on an advertisement. No Personal Information will be disclosed to these sponsors and advertisers as part of this process; only information in an anonymous, aggregate form will be disclosed

IP ADDRESSES

An IP Address is the unique number that is assigned to every direct Internet access point. Many IP Addresses can generally be associated with certain Internet service providers or large organizations. IP Addresses do not contain any Personal Information. When you, through your browser, request a web page or similar Internet information from another computer on the Internet, your browser automatically provides that computer with an IP address to which it will send the requested information.

STELLAND and IP Addresses:

a. Whenever you request a Stelland Service web page or certain other similar Stelland content, your browser automatically provides our computers with your IP Address, to which our computers will send the requested information. Our computers log each such request with information including the IP Address of the computer that requested the page and is stored by our computers as needed for the purposes described in this policy;

b. Stelland may use your IP Address to display more appropriate and relevant content and advertising, such as content and advertising based on your geographic area. Stelland may report aggregate information derived from IP Addresses to its clients, advertisers and partners. For example, Stelland may report to its advertisers the estimated total number of users accessing a particular Stelland Site from a specific state or province;

c. Stelland may use your IP Address to facilitate the diagnoses and remedy of a technical problem reported by you or our technical team.

COOKIES

A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred (through your browser) from a web site to the hard drive of your computer. The cookie identifies your browser and will NOT let a web site know any personal information about you, such as your name and address. Since cookies are only text files, they cannot run on your computer, search your computer for other information or transmit any information to anyone.

Stelland may use cookies to:

a. Monitor website usage and improve the operation and performance of the Stelland Services and to make our Stelland Services easier and more convenient to use. For example, cookies allow us to save passwords and preferences for you so that you will not have to re-enter them the next time you visit a Stelland Service;

b. Measure aggregate user traffic and demographic statistics related to the Stelland Services and advertisements (e.g. number of users, average time spent, average age and similar statistics). This information helps us to better understand when to update, change or offer new services and provides us with details as to the performance of third party advertisements and content. This information may be reported, in aggregate form only, to our current and prospective sponsors, advertisers and business partners. No Personal Information will be disclosed in such reports;

c. Displaying advertisements. Stelland and third party advertising providers used by Stelland may use cookies when serving advertisements.

Cookies are used on many major web sites. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can reset your browser either to notify you when you have received a cookie, or to refuse to accept cookies. You should understand that while Stelland does not require you to use cookies, certain Stelland Services will not function properly if you set your browser to not accept cookies.

LINKS TO OTHER SITES AND ADVERTISEMENTS

A Stelland Service or Site may contain links to other websites and services. While we try to link only to sites and services that share our high standards and respect for privacy, please understand that we are not responsible for the content of, or the privacy practices employed by, other companies or websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to the Stelland Services or Sites referencing this Privacy Policy.

SECURITY

The security of your Personal Information is important to us. Stelland takes technical, contractual, administrative, and physical security steps to protect Personal Information that you provide to us. We instruct our employees with access to your Personal Information that it is to be used only in adherence with the principles set forth in this Privacy Policy and the laws applicable to each specific business.

You can help protect the security of your Personal Information as well. For instance, never give out your username or password, since they are what are used to access your Account. Also remember to log out of your account and close your browser window when you finish using a Stelland Service or surfing the Web, so that other people using the same computer won't have access to your information.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

Stelland may from time to time change its Privacy Policy as new Stelland Services are added or old ones changed. Changes will be effective when notice of such change is posted at a Stelland Site. Please check this Privacy Policy regularly for updates by checking the date of "Last Update" at the top of this document.

ADDITIONAL PRIVACY PROCEDURES

Privacy procedures specific to a Stelland Service can be found on a Stelland Site or in additional terms referenced at such Stelland Site. Those procedures are an addendum to this policy, and are provided to you at the place where they will be of most use to you.
