Our
Privacy Mission
Semotus
Solutions, Inc. ("Semotus") is firmly committed to your privacy. This
policy states our privacy practices for you, our subscriber, and your use of
our services, and all interactions between you and Semotus. Our mission in
implementing this privacy policy is to first, protect your information, and
second, use your information only to provide you with the highest quality, most
personalized information services available - exclusively on your behalf.
How
Do We Collect and Use Your Information?
Semotus
only collects personal information about you that we consider necessary for
providing you with the highest quality, most personalized information services
available. Semotus collects personally
identifiable information about you in the following ways:
when
you subscribe to one of our financial services or paging services, you provide
basic contact information, your wireless device ID and/or phone number, your
personal preferences (e.g., stocks), and where appropriate, billing
information; and
if you choose, you may give us additional information (e.g., by entering
non-required fields in our subscription interface or by sending a help
request).
We will use your personally identifiable information only to provide you the
best possible services, notify you of technical or billing issues, inform you
of changes in our services, or communicate with you in any other way that you
choose (e.g., to participate in market research efforts).
We
may receive non-personalized, aggregated data from our business partners and
information service providers. These companies use personally identifiable
information to compile the aggregated data; however, they provide us only the
aggregated data and never your personally identifiable information. We also
collect site usage statistics such as domain names, web browser types, and page
requests. The non-personalized, aggregated data is used to more efficiently
operate our services and prepare for network load demands, to promote the
services, and to sell advertising and research that subsidize the cost of our
services.
How
is Your Information Shared?
Semotus
will not give, sell or rent any of your personal information to third parties
for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent. Semotus will not disclose your personally
identifiable information to any other company or person except:
when
you have expressly opted-in to share the information with a third party; or
when we need to share the information
with a company that works on our behalf; these companies do not have any right
to use the personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary to
assist us when we believe you have acted in violation of our terms of use of
our services; or
we may share aggregated statistics not linked to any individual about
buying patterns, sales and other shopping information with our marketing
partners and other third parties for research purposes only.
Legal
Requests: Semotus cooperates with law
enforcement inquiries, as well as other third parties to enforce laws, such as:
intellectual property rights, fraud and other rights, to help protect you from
bad actors. Therefore, in response to a
verified request by a law enforcement or other government officials relating to
a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity, we can disclose your
name, city, state, telephone number and other personal information without a
subpoena.
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. Although we use industry standard practices
to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that
your personal information or private communications will always remain private.
Security: How Do We Protect Your Information?
Semotus
makes every effort to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of your
personal information. Your information is stored on Semotus’ servers located in
Canada. 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, including, but
not limited to, encryption, “firewalls” and Secure Socket Layers. We treat data as an asset that must be
protected against loss and unauthorized access by users inside and outside the
company. However, “perfect security”
does not exist on the Internet.
Control
of Your Password.
You
are responsible for all actions taken with your User ID and password, including
fees charged to your account. Therefore
we do not recommend that you disclose your Semotus password to any third
parties. If you choose to share your
password or your personal information with third parties, you are responsible
for all actions taken with your account.
If you lose control of your password, you may be subject to legally
binding actions taken on your behalf.
Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you
should immediately change your password.
How
Do We Use Cookies?
Like
many other sites on the Internet, Semotus uses cookies. Semotus uses cookies
and collects IP addresses in order to better facilitate the Services provided
to you, and to collect non-personal aggregate data for marketing research
purposes.
If
you click on an advertisement through our services, the advertiser, or a
company working on its behalf, may set and access cookies on your machine. The
advertiser's use of its cookies is subject to its privacy policy, not ours.
Please refer to the advertiser's privacy policy if you have any concerns.
You
are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits.
What
if Our Privacy Policy Changes?
Semotus
may from time to time revise this privacy policy. If we make material changes,
we will post the new policy on our website and notify you of the changes.
