Effective as of January
2010
Bizzuka has created this privacy statement ("Statement”) in
order to demonstrate our commitment to customer privacy. Privacy on the Bizzuka
web site (the "Site”) is of great importance to us. Because we gather important
information from our visitors and customers, we have established this Statement
as a means to communicate our information gathering and dissemination practices.
We reserve the right to change this Statement and will provide notification of
the change at least thirty (30) business days prior to the change taking
effect.
Collected Information
We require customers who register to use the services
offered on our Site (collectively, the "Service”) to give us contact
information, such as their name, company name, address, phone number, and
e-mail address, and financial qualification and billing information, such as
billing name and address, credit card number, and the number of users within
the organization that will be using the Service. At the time you express
interest in attaining additional information, or when you register for the
Service, we may also ask for additional personal information, such as title, department
name, fax number, or additional company information, such as annual revenues,
number of employees, or industry. Customers can opt out of providing this
additional information by not entering it when asked. Customers can update or
remove their personal information at any time by logging into the Website and
editing their Personal Information within Setup. Customers can view their
updated profile to confirm their edits have been made.
Bizzuka uses the information that we collect to set up the
Service for individuals and their organizations. We may also use the
information to contact customers to further discuss customer interest in our
company, the Service that we provide, and to send information regarding our
company or partners, such as promotions and events. Customers are invited to
receive an email newsletter by providing an email address. Customer email
addresses and any personal customer information will not be distributed or
shared with third parties. Customers can opt out of being contacted by us, or
receiving such information from us, at any time by sending an email to support@bizzuka.com.
Separately, customers are also asked to provide an email address when
registering for the Service, in order to receive a username and password. We
may also email information regarding updates to the Service or company. Again, email
will not be distributed or shared and customers can opt out of
receiving any communication by emailing support@bizzuka.com at the time it is
distributed, or at the time any customer registers for the Service.
Except as we explicitly state at the time we request
information, or as provided for in the Bizzuka End User License Agreement, we
do not disclose to third parties the information provided. All financial and
billing information that we collect through the Site is used solely to check
the qualifications of prospective customers and to bill for the Service. This
billing information is not used by Bizzuka for marketing or promotional purposes.
Bizzuka uses a third-party intermediary to manage the credit card processing.
This intermediary is solely a link in the distribution chain, and is not
permitted to store, retain, or use the information provided, except for the
sole purpose of credit card processing. Other third parties, such as content
providers, may provide content on the web Site but they are not permitted to
collect any information nor does Bizzuka share user information with these
parties.
Customers of the Service will be using the Site to host data
and information ("Data”). Bizzuka will not review, share, distribute, print, or
reference any such Data except as provided in the Bizzuka End User License
Agreement, or as may be required by law. Individual records may at times be
viewed or accessed only for the purpose of resolving a problem, support issue,
or suspected violation of the End User License Agreement, or as may be required
by law. Of course, customers are responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality and security of their user registration and password.
Bizzuka may also collect certain information from visitors
to and customers of the Site, such as Internet addresses. This information is
logged to help diagnose technical problems, and to administer our Site in order
to constantly improve the quality of the Service. We may also track and analyze
non-identifying and aggregate usage and volume statistical information from our
visitors and customers and provide such information to third parties.
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a
friend about our site, we ask them for the friend’s name and email address. Bizzuka
will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the
site. Bizzuka does not store this information.
Cookies
When you interact with the Bizzuka Website we strive to make
that experience easy and meaningful. When you come to our Web site, our Web
server sends a cookie to your computer. Cookies are files that Web browsers
place on a computer’s hard drive and are used to tell us whether customers and
visitors have visited the Site previously.
Standing alone, cookies do not identify you personally. They
merely recognize your browser. Unless you choose to identify yourself to Bizzuka,
either by responding to a promotional offer, opening an account, or
registering, you remain anonymous to Bizzuka. Cookies come in two flavors:
session and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during an online
session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser software
or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after
you’ve closed your browser or turned off your computer. They include such
information as a unique identifier for your browser.
Bizzuka uses session cookies containing encrypted
information to allow the system to uniquely identify you while you are logged
in. This information allows Bizzuka to process your online transactions and
requests. Session cookies help us make sure you are who you say you are after
you’ve logged in and are required in order to use the Bizzuka application. Bizzuka
uses persistent cookies that only Bizzuka can read and use to identify the fact
that you are a Bizzuka customer or prior Bizzuka Website visitor (whatever the
case may be). We are especially careful about the security and confidentiality
of the information stored in persistent cookies. For example, we do not store
account numbers or passwords in persistent cookies. Users who disable their Web
browsers’ ability to accept cookies will be able to browse our Website but will
not be able to successfully use our Service.
Third Party Cookies
We may from time to time engage third parties to track and
analyze non-personally identifiable usage and volume statistical information
from visitors to our website to help us administer our website and improve its
quality. Such third parties may use cookies to help track visitor behavior.
Such cookies will not be used to associate individual website visitors to any
personally identifiable information. All data collected by such third parties
on behalf of Bizzuka is used only to provide us with information on site usage
and is not shared with any other third parties.
Third-Party Sites
The Site may contain links to other web sites. Bizzuka is
not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these other web
sites. Customers and visitors will need to check the policy statement of these
others web sites to understand their policies. Customers and visitors who
access a linked site may be disclosing their private information. It is the
responsibility of the user to keep such information private and confidential.
Security
Our Site has security measures in place to help protect
against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the Data under our control. When
our Site is accessed using any modern browser that supports the protocol,
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology protects information using both server
authentication and data encryption to help ensure that Data is safe, secure,
and available only to you. Bizzuka also implements an advanced security method
based on dynamic data and encoded session identifications, and hosts the Site
in a secure server environment that uses a firewall and other advanced
technology to prevent interference or access from outside intruders. Finally, Bizzuka
provides unique user names and passwords that must be entered each time a
customer logs on. These safeguards help prevent unauthorized access, maintain
data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of Data.
Opt-Out Policy
Bizzuka offers its visitors and customers a means to choose
how we may use information provided. If, at any time after registering for
