This privacy policy applies only to the privacy of users of the FYi365.com web
site.
Straight talk about how we safeguard your Internet privacy
FYi365.COM respects your right to privacy. When you visit this site you may
provide information on two different levels about your visit:
-
Anonymous statistics collected as you browse the site, and
-
Personal information you knowingly give us.
What information does the Web site gather?
Please be assured that we do not collect personal information about you from the
website unless you provide it to us. This means that you can visit our Web site
without telling us who you are or revealing any personally identifiable
information about yourself (such as your Email address).
As you browse the site, our web servers collect information about your visit,
but not about you personally. Via our web server logs, we monitor statistics
such as:
-
How many people visit our site;
-
Which pages people visit on our site;
-
From which domains our visitors come;
-
Which browsers people use to visit our site.
None of this information is associated with you as an individual (see
information about cookies below). We use these statistics to improve our Web
site, to monitor its performance, and to make the Web site easier for you and
other visitors to use.
What about pages which ask for personal information?
When visitors supply information about themselves for a specific purpose, we use
the information for that purpose (such as to provide the service or information
the visitor has requested). For example, you may be asked to give us individual
information to purchase a product or service, receive information, or manage
online account registration. The information may range from your post code, to
your phone number, account number, a credit card number, Email address,
organization URL or mailing address.
When visitors use our Web site to order services, we may use this personally
identifiable information as we would use the same information obtained in a
traditional non-electronic manner. For example, to publish your name, address,
and phone number in a directory or to evaluate your service needs and contact
you regarding additional services you may find useful. If you do not want us to
contact you, you can remove your name by clicking on Contact Us.
What happens to information when I fill out registration forms?
The registration forms request accurate contact information (like name and Email
address) and preferences that help us better serve you. Your name and Email
address are used to send you information about our company, product updates,
special offers, order confirmation and newsletters. You may change your Email,
user ID or password online; or you can choose to remove your name from our user
list by going to Contact Us and Emailing us a
request to remove your name.
To improve the services we can offer you, we may decide to expand the site's
capabilities for obtaining information about users in the future. We will
update this privacy statement as policies change to ensure that you are aware
of developments in this area.
Do you sell or give my information to companies outside of FYi365.COM?
We do not sell or disclose personally identifiable information obtained online
about our visitors to anyone outside of FYi365.COM unless you specifically
authorise it to complete a transaction that you initiated, it is required by
law, or disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of customers, employees
or property. If you provide personally identifiable information to us in the
context of an event FYi365.COM sponsors with another company, such as a
contest, or if you register on a co-sponsored site or feature, you may also be
providing the personally identifiable information to the co-sponsor. This will
be made clear to you before you submit the information and you can decide
whether or not to participate.
FYi365.COM may share non-personally identifiable information with other
companies in order to assess the results of a promotion, event or third party
relationship, to provide information to current or prospective customers, or to
enhance your online experience. For example, we may provide statistical
information that is not identified with you:
-
The number of people who visit the website, which pages were visited and for
how long and the referral URL.
-
When we host co-branded versions of the FYi365.COM site (or portions of the
FYi365.COM site). Our co-branded sites may also contain clear GIFs (electronic
images that allow this site to collect anonymous information about your visit
to the site).
-
Non-personally identifiable information may also be disclosed to other
companies if it is required by law, or disclosure is necessary to protect the
safety of customers, employees or property.
This information does not contain any information that would personally identify
you.
In addition, FYi365.COM may support features and content which appear on other
companies' web sites that you may visit. These companies may collect
information about you, but FYi365.COM does not have control over the collection
practices of these companies. If you are visiting a web site which indicates
that it is "powered by FYi365.COM," please read the privacy policy of that web
site for its policies regarding information collection and usage.
Does this site send Email to site visitors?
At times, online surveys are conducted in which you can choose to participate.
In addition, we may use Email to communicate with our customers, to respond to
visitors' Email, to confirm orders placed online, and to send information that
a visitor has requested. Occasionally, we may use opt-in Email lists from third
parties to promote our latest specials. If you receive an unwanted Email from
us, you can click Contact Us and simply ask us
to remove you from our list.
Do you accommodate links to other sites?
This website contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for the
content or the privacy practices employed by other sites. We are committed to
safeguarding customer privacy on our website. FYi365.COM may, however, host (or
contract with third parties to host) web site advertising linked to the
FYi365.COM site. If you provide personally identifiable information while
visiting any FYi365.COM hosted Web Site Advert, you will also be providing the
personally identifiable information to the advertiser. In addition, FYi365.COM
may share non-personally identifiable information collected from any FYi365.COM
hosted Web Site Advert with other companies in order to complete a transaction
that you initiated or to assess and report the results of the advert.
FYi365.COM is not responsible for the privacy practices employed by the
advertiser.
What is the position of FYi365.COM regarding online advertising and third party
adverts?
FYi365.COM accepts advertisements from third parties that purchase advertising
on the FYi365.COM site. FYi365.COM may use "clear gifs" provided by such third
parties in the pages containing the advertising that FYi365.COM sends to your
browser. These "clear gifs" provide usage pattern information about the adverts
to third parties. The data does not contain personally identifiable
information.
As part of the online advertising process, we may use information supplied from
third party advertising companies as well as other third party companies in
several ways such as to:
-
Gain a better understanding of the type of individuals viewing or visiting
different web sites;
-
Evaluate and prioritise site selection when developing online media plan;
-
Geographically target advertising;
-
Deliver product and pricing advertising/information applicable to the
customers' region;
-
Gauge the effectiveness of our online advertising.
Cookie use and what information is collected about you.

However, you need to understand that some website advertising companies have the

advertising company where you specifically provide personal data.
Who do I contact if I am concerned about online advertising and privacy?
All concerns or questions about your privacy related to online advertising
should be addressed through our Customer Care Center which can be reached by
clicking on Contact Us.
Does FYi365.COM use the information provided online to profile its customers?
The combination of offline and online information provided by the customer has
the ability to enhance the customer experience, and make the consumer's
interaction with FYi365.COM more meaningful and relevant. FYi365.COM will give
notification of any consumer profiling or purchasing behavior being captured by
FYi365.COM online and/or combined with offline information, and will be clearly
stated to the consumer at the time of online data collection. The consumer will
have the ability to choose not to have that information aggregated and be part
of subsequent marketing campaigns by indicating at the point of the
application, or by choosing to Opt-Out of future marketing campaigns from
FYi365.COM by clicking on Contact Us.
Please note:
We may disclose personal information when required by law or in the good faith
belief that such action is necessary in order to conform to the edicts of the
law or to comply with a legal process served relating to our web site.

Every secure page on our web sites has been secured with a digital certificate
by Thawte. To view this certificate, click on image of the closed lock on the
bottom bar of your browser window. This certificate will show that you are
sending your personal information to FYi365.COM.
How does FYi365.COM prevent unauthorised access to my information?
Your password is set at a minimum of six characters, which provides added
protection for your personal information. On secured pages, this site uses SSL

What security measures are in place to restrict access to personal data?
There are a variety of security measures in place that limit internal access to
data stored by the FYi365.COM site. Access is restricted to authorised
personnel only and requires an employee to have a secure ID and password to
access the information. In addition, logs are reviewed regularly to spot any
inconsistencies. The site is continually updated with the latest known security
patches that are periodically published by the system vendor. Any information
that you give is password protected. For your protection, the system
automatically locks out a user after 3 incorrect tries and after 20 minutes of
idle time per secure session. If you forget your password, you will be prompted
to supply your customer ID and your password will be Emailed to you.
What information is stored by the site or in cookies?
Registration information, invoice and online shopping, data and contact Email
addresses are stored in FYi365.COM databases which are physically secure
environments that are not accessible via the Internet. This information is only
available to you through the use of a secure ID and password, and the
information is transferred from our databases for your viewing.
