Information Collection and Usage
Informz requires customers who request
information, and subsequently register
to use our products and services to provide
contact information such as their name,
company name, address, phone number and
email address and later financial qualification
and billing information such as billing
name and address, credit card number,
and the number of users within the customer's
organization. Informz typically asks
for additional information when a customer
or visitor requests information about
our products and services. This information
often includes title, department, fax
number and additional company information
such as annual revenues, number of employees,
and industry. Customers and visitors can
choose to "opt out" of providing
this additional information.
Informz uses the collected information
to set up accounts for customers and their
respective companies. We may also use
the information to contact customers to
further discuss their interest in Informz,
our products and services and to send
information on Informz, our partners,
and notices of promotions and upcoming
events, if the customer or visitor has
so opted to receive these communications.
Informz customers will automatically be
subscribed to our email newsletter as
part of the set up process. All customers
have the opportunity to choose to opt-out
from receiving our newsletter. Customer
information will not be shared or distributed.
Except as explicitly stated at the time
Informz requests information, we do not
disclose to any third party the information
provided. All financial and billing information
we collect is used solely to check qualifications
of prospective customers and to invoice
our customers for their usage of Informz
products and services. This billing information
is not used by Informz for marketing and/or
promotional purposes.
Informz uses a third party for 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.
Informz uses pixel tags and other methods
to gather information about the emails
we send to our registered users and recipients
of emails sent by our registered users
to others. Pixel tags are tiny graphic
files that are included in our HTML-encoded
email messages. When such a message is
opened in an HTML-capable email program,
the recipient's computer will access Informz's
servers to retrieve the pixel tag file,
allowing Informz to record and store
information such as email address, date
and time the recipient viewed the email
message, if the recipient's email program
is capable of receiving HTML, and other
logging information. Informz uses this
information to optimize delivery of future
messages to specific recipients and to
provide information to registered users
with respect to emails they send through
the Informz System.
Informz maintains log files tracking
IP addresses to analyze trends, help diagnose
problems with our servers and to monitor
traffic/usage in order to provide better
service to our customers and visitors.
IP addresses are not linked to personally
identifiable information.
Informz uses cookies to deliver content
specific to your interests and to improve
the convenience and efficiency of your
experience when using our products and
services. A cookie is a piece of data
stored on the user's hard drive tied to
statistical information about the user.
Usage of a cookie is in no way linked
to any personally identifiable information
in Informz products and email messages.
You can always choose to not accept cookies,
but you may not be able to use some of
the Informz products and services.
