- Cookies
- Contrary to the popular myth, cookies do not extract private or personal information from your computer's memory, but rather record only information you volunteer to us upon registration or visiting the site. Cookies are tiny files placed onto the hard drive of your computer when you register at our Website that enable our server to recognize or "remember" who you are each time you return. Cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.
- Log files
- Like most standard website servers, we use log files. This includes Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and the number of clicks to analyze trends administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Communications from The SwiftShip
- Special offers and updates: New members will receive an email to verify their 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. Registrants will also receive special offers and updates regarding our services. If you are a former customer, you will continue to receive special offers and updates regarding our services unless you choose to unsubscribe from such communications.
- Newsletter: If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and email address. Out of respect for our users' privacy, we provide a way to opt out of these communications.
- Service announcements: On rare occasions, it is necessary to send out a strictly service-related announcement. For instance, we will be sending an email to all users if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance. Generally, users may not opt out of these communications, though they can deactivate their accounts. However, these communications are not promotional in nature.
- Customer service: We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services. Regarding the issues related to their account, we reply via email or phone in accordance with the user's desire.
- Other: • During the registration, we require phone information to reach you for account management purposes. We will call you during the first several weeks of your trial or service to provide answers to many questions, as well as to offer additional promotions only available via phone. After the first several weeks of your trial or service, we, or our authorized marketing partners, may periodically contact you for the purposes of improving our services by asking you to complete surveys or by offering you other services that you may benefit from.
Sharing–Third parties
SwiftShip will not disclose your personal information provided in connection with membership registration or purchases, except with your knowledge and consent as described in this Privacy Policy or as may be required by law or to protect the rights or property of SwiftShip. Information submitted by you online (such as information about products you purchase from us, your name, address, and email address) may be shared with companies with which we have a commercial relationship, including companies through which you reached SwiftShip. For example, if you make a purchase with us because of a special offer made through another site acting as a distributor of our products, in that circumstance, you will be considered their customer as well. We will not, except as may be required by law, share with any other party your password or payment information. We may also share information about you (including name, email address, phone number, and postal address) with our marketing partners or other companies with whom we have a commercial relationship so they may contact you about information and services that we feel you would benefit from.
We also reserve the right to disclose aggregated user statistics, such as "45% of our users are female" in order to describe our services to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties. Under the protection of confidentiality agreements, SwiftShip may match common user information, such as name, address, and phone number, with third-party data to avoid duplication and prevent errors.
Our Commitment to Data Security
SwiftShip takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the Website, their information is protected both online and offline. When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card numbers), that information is encrypted and 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 users are just "surfing."
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information offline. 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. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment, behind a locked cage in a locked facility. SwiftShip reserves the right to make any amendments, modifications, or changes to this Privacy Policy at any time. If any material change is made to this Privacy Policy, we will notify our users about those changes via email. If you do not agree to such changes, you can modify your notification settings to opt out of certain notices from SwiftShip or its marketing partners. If users have any questions about the security of our web site website, please contact Customer Support.
Our commitment to children's privacy
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information on our Website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our Website is structured to attract anyone under 13. In order to subscribe to SwiftShip's services, the member must be 18 with a valid credit card.
How You Can Access or Correct Your Information
You can access your personally identifiable information collected by the SwiftShip by logging into your account and visiting the "Settings" section of the Website. You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information by sending us a request that credibly shows errors. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
