Mindbuilt staunchly believes that strong electronic privacy is crucial for the ongoing success of the Internet as a service and commercial medium. Please be assured that Mindbuilt Technologies and its subsidiaries are committed to safeguarding customer privacy on their websites. Please feel confident that your identifiable information will be protected when you access our websites or order services from us over the Internet.

Mindbuilt Technologies has created this privacy statement to demonstrate our commitment to privacy and to outline how we plan to handle such information. The following describes our information gathering and usage practices:

Confidentiality of Client Information:

All Mindbuilt Technologies employees with access to customer data have signed the following Client Confidentiality Agreement: "Every person employed by Mindbuilt Technologies is obligated to refrain from discussing any client information, in any fashion, with anyone outside the company, including members of the employee's family. In addition, only those persons within the company with a "need to know" should have access to client information. All client information is the property of the Company and under no circumstances is to be used for personal use, business or gain. Such information may only be used in the normal course of business for the company."

Information that Mindbuilt Technologies gathers and how it is used:

In general, you can visit Mindbuilt Web site without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. However, there are times when some information is needed, but you will have full control over providing that information.

Our site also offers an order form that allows customers to request information, products, and services. We collect visitor's contact information (like their e-mail address) and financial information (like their account or credit card numbers). We use contact information from the order form to send orders and information about our company to our customers. We also use it to get in touch with the visitor when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below.

Mindbuilt collects data from your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to analyze paths through our Web site. Your IP address is also used to gather broad demographic information about our audience which we use to improve the Mindbuilt Service (for example, how many international users do we have, how many users use version 3.0 of Netscape, etc).

Our sites may use cookies to store login information only. These are temporary cookies that are not stored on your local disk and are discarded by your browser when it is shut down.

Subscription Users - Mindbuilt's registration form requires users requesting a product or service to give us contact information (such as name, email address, postal address and other data). We use this information to process the order, to infrequently email information on the company (such as a promotional mailing on a new service), and to contact the visitor when necessary. We also collect visitor's financial information (such as a purchase order number or credit card numbers) to bill the user for products and services and for processing credit cards.

Users may easily opt-out of receiving future mailings by opting out of the newsletter (leaving the checkbox unchecked) or by requesting removal from the newsletter or promotions using any of the methods listed below in the Choice/Opt-Out section.

All Users - Whether you are a free user or subscription user, you can be assured that if you provide information to Mindbuilt, no individual data will passed on to any third-party. Mindbuilt will divulge information only as necessary to comply with state and federal laws.

On occasion, Mindbuilt conducts online surveys that ask visitors for contact information (like their email address) and demographic information (like their zip code, age, or income level). These surveys are conducted to determine better ways to support our customers. Survey results provide us information that enables us to better tailor our content to readers' needs and to help our advertisers better understand the aggregate demographics of our audience. No individual personal data will ever be released from these surveys. Data may be used in aggregate form to learn more about our customers' needs.

Mindbuilt Web sites may contain links to other sites. Mindbuilt is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of these linked sites, as their Privacy Policy may differ from ours.

Although we do have business partners and co branded sites, at no time do we share individual data collected with them.

Security:

All Mindbuilt's websites have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Access to computer data and files at Mindbuilt Technologies is secured by password coding to prevent unauthorized access.

Credit Card Encryption:

If you choose to purchase our products/services through our website, your credit card number will encrypted (scrambled) with industry standard SSL encryption technology so that no one else can read it. Your credit card transaction is cleared in seconds through our secure server. Thanks to encryption, we believe that online ordering is now safer than using your credit card locally. There is no safer way to make a purchase. Web pages where SSL encryption is activated are typically identified by a lock or key symbol displayed somewhere in your browser.

Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary, and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by our customers.

Choice/Opt-Out:

Mindbuilt provides users the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications from us at the point where we request information about the visitor.

Additionally, we give users the following options: to modifying information previously provided, to removing their information from our database, to no longer receive future communications or our services. For all these purposes you can send email to privacy.
