1. Introduction
Your privacy is very important to us - our website won't work if you don't trust us.
We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing
purposes. Please read this privacy policy (our "Privacy Policy") to learn more about
the ways in which we use and protect your personal information. We want you to fully
understand our privacy practices so that you understand the service we are providing
and are comfortable on our Site. If you have additional questions, you may send an
e-mail to support@introin.com.
2. Overview
The privacy practices of this Privacy Policy apply to our services available under the
domain and subdomains of www.introin.com (our "Site"). By visiting our Site you agree
to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree,
please do not use or access our Site.
This Privacy Policy describes the information, as part of the normal operation of our
services, that we collect from you and what may happen to that information. Although
this policy may seem long, we have prepared a detailed policy so that you understand
the goals (and limitations) of our Site.
3. A special note about children
Children (persons under the age of 18) are not eligible to use the Site.
4. Information we collect
Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is for tweaking our Site and
our services, for connecting you with our service partners, and for improving our
marketing efforts so as to better reach current and potential customers, as well as
for increasing the level of trust between two users sharing incentives. We only
collect personal information that helps us accomplish these two goals.
We keep track of the information you enter on our Site. We use this information to do
internal research on how to optimize our Site and to help us better understand,
protect and serve you and our community. Other information we keep track of may
include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on our Site or not),
which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on our Site or not), your computer
browser information and your IP address.
We may in the future use data collection devices such as "cookies" on certain pages of
our Site to help analyze our web page flow, measure promotional effectiveness, and
promote trust and safety. "Cookies" are small files placed on your hard drive that
assist us in providing our services. We offer certain features that are only available
through the use of a "cookie". Cookies can also help us provide information that is
targeted to your interests. Most cookies are "session cookies", meaning that they are
automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of a session. You are always
free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although in that case you may not
be able to use certain features on our Site.
We currently do not charge anything for the services we provide. However, if in the
future we begin providing fee-based services, we may collect additional information,
such as a billing address, a credit card number and a credit card expiration date, as
well as other information necessary for a user profile.
If you choose to post messages or to leave feedback for us, we will retain such
information you provide. We retain this information as necessary to provide customer
support and troubleshoot problems.
If you send us personal correspondence, such as e-mails or letters, or if other users
or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings on our Site,
we may collect such information into a file specific to you.
5. Our disclosure of your information
We do not sell or rent any of your personal information to third parties for their
marketing purposes. However, the following describes some of the potential scenarios
in which that the information we collect May, in some instances, be disclosed.
Advertisers
We aggregate (gather up data across all users) usage information and disclose such
information in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third
parties for our marketing and promotional purposes. However, in these situations, we
do not disclose to these entities any information that could be used to identify you
personally, and we do not disclose your e-mail address or your cell phone number.
Legal requests
Introin cooperates with law enforcement inquiries, as well as with other third
parties, to enforce laws and rights that help protect you and the Introin community
from bad actors. As a feature to help facilitate trust between users, we endeavor to
preserve the email addresses that correspond to the matches. Therefore, in response
to a verified request by law enforcement or other government officials relating to a
criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity, we can (and you authorize us to)
disclose your email address and other information without a subpoena. Without
limiting the above, in an effort to respect your privacy and our ability to keep the
community free from bad actors, we will not otherwise disclose your personal
information to law enforcement or other government officials without a subpoena,
court order or substantially similar legal procedure, except when we believe in good
faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to prevent imminent physical
harm or financial loss, or to report suspected illegal activity.
Due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private
communications and other personal information will never be disclosed in ways not
otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the
foregoing), we may be forced to disclose personal information to the government or
third parties under certain circumstances, third parties may unlawfully intercept or
access transmissions or private communications, or users may abuse or misuse your
personal information that they collect from our Site. Therefore, although we use
many different means to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not
expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain
private.
6. Your use of other users' information
In order to facilitate interaction among all Introin community members, our Site
allows you limited access to users e-mail address. By entering into our User
Agreement, you agree that, with respect to other users' personal information that you
obtain through the Site or through a Introin-related communication or
Introin-facilitated transaction, Introin hereby grants to you a license to use such
information only for Introin-related communications (which may not include, among
other things, unsolicited commercial messages). In addition, under no circumstances
can you disclose personal information about another user to any third party without
our consent and the consent of that user. You agree that other users may use your
personal information to communicate with you in accordance with the purposes of
Introin. Note that law enforcement personnel and other rights holders are given
different rights with respect to information they access.
7. Use of e-mail tools
You shall not use our matching system, the Private Message Board feature or other
services that we offer to send spam or otherwise send content that would violate our
User Agreement. We do not permanently store e-mail messages or the e-mail addresses
sent from the Private Message Board and alert features, and nor do we rent or sell
such e-mail addresses.
8. Security
Your information is stored on Introin’s servers located in the United States. We use
procedural and technical safeguards to protect your personal information against loss
or theft as well as unauthorized access and disclosure to protect your privacy. We
treat data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access.
We employ many different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorized
access by users inside and outside the company. However, "perfect security" does not
exist on the Internet.
9. Notice
We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the amended terms on our
Site. All amended terms shall automatically be effective after they are initially
posted on our Site.
