Online Future Inc. privacy statement
This privacy statement discloses the privacy
practices for onlinefutureinc.com and our sites.
Online Future Inc. is the sole owner of the
information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this
information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this
statement. Online Future Inc.
collects information from our users at several different points on our
website.
Registration In order to use this website,
a user must first complete the registration form. During registration a user is
required to give their contact information (such as name and email address).
This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for
which they have expressed interest. It is optional for the user to provide
demographic information (such as income level and gender), and unique
identifiers (such as social security number), but encouraged so we can provide
a more personalized experience on our site.
Order We request information from the user
on our order form. Here a user must provide contact information (like name and
shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number,
expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill
customers orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact
information is used to get in touch with the user.
Cookies A cookie is a piece of data stored
on the users hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a
cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on
our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For
instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a
password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user
rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is
that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user
will not be able to participate in any of our Sweepstakes, Contests or monthly
Drawings that take place. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the
interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Some of our
business partners use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However,
we have no access to or control over these cookies.
Log Files We use IP addresses to analyze
trends, administer the site, track users movement, and gather broad
demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to
personally identifiable information.
Sharing We will share aggregated
demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked
to any personal information that can identify any individual person.
We
use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing
company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain,
share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary
purposes.
We partner with another party to provide specific services.
When the user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other
contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these
services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable
information except for the purpose of providing these services.
Links This web site contains links to
other sites. Please be aware that we ONLINE FUTURE INC. are not responsible for
the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware
when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every
web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy
statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Newsletter If a user wishes to subscribe
to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and email
address.
Surveys & Contests From time-to-time
our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation
in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has
a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may
include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and
demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will
be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used
for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this
site.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our
referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the
friends name and email address. ONLINE FUTURE INC. will automatically
send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. ONLINE FUTURE
INC. stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time
email. The friend may contact ONLINE FUTURE INC. at
support@onlinefutureinc.com
to request the removal of this information from their database.
Security This website takes every
precaution to protect our users information. When users submit sensitive
information via the website, your information is protected both online and
off-line. When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive
information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that
information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in
the industry - SSL.
While on a secure page, such as our order form, the
lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and
Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open,
when you are just surfing. While we use SSL encryption to protect
sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect
user-information off-line. All of our users information, not just the
sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only
employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our
billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to
personally identifiable information. ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our
security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies
are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we
place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers
information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally
identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked
cage.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you
can send an email to support@onlinefutureinc.com
Supplementation of Information In order
for this website to properly fulfill its obligation to our customers, it is
necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with information from
3rd party sources. For example, to determine if our customers qualify for one
of our credit cards, we use their name and social security number to request a
credit report. Once we determine a users credit-worthiness, this document
is destroyed. (or) In order for this website to enhance its ability to
tailor the site to an individuals preference, we combine information
about the purchasing habits of users with similar information from our
partners, Company Y & Company Z, to create a personalized user profile.
When a user makes a purchase from either of these two companies, the companies
collect and share that purchase information with us so we can tailor the site
to our users preferences.
Special Offers We send all new members a
welcoming email to verify password and username. Established members will
occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a
newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option
to not receive these types of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out
below.
Site and Service Updates We also send the
user site and service announcement updates. Members are not able to
un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important information
about the service. We communicate with the user to provide requested services
and in regards to issues relating to their account via email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal
Information: If a users personally identifiable information
changes (such as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we
will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that users
personal data provided to us. This can usually be done at the member
information page or by emailing our Customer Support.
Headquarters:
10302 S Federal Hwy #340 Port St. Lucie, FL 34952

Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the
opportunity to opt-out of having their information used for
purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for the
information. For example, our order form has an opt-out mechanism
so users who buy a product from us, but dont want any marketing material,
can keep their email address off of our lists. Users who no longer wish to
receive our newsletter or promotional materials from our partners may opt-out
of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject
line in the email or email us at support@onlinefutureinc.com.
Users of our site are always notified when their information is being collected
by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as
to whether they should proceed with services that require an outside party, or
not.
Notification of Changes If we decide to
change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage so our
users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under
circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use
personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at
the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will
have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different
manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under
which the information was collected. |
