Privacy Policy
We
respect and are committed to protecting your privacy. That is
why we have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy
lets you know how your personal information is processed and
used. We promise that we will take steps to use your personal
information only in ways that are compatible with this Privacy
Policy. The following policies are only in effect for the Web
pages, newsletters, and opt-in announcement lists owned and
operated by HotConference.net, (“HotConference.net”).
The following discloses our Privacy Policy.
What
information are you collecting and how are you collecting it?
Every
computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and
a set of numbers, that serve as that computer's "Internet
Protocol" IP address. When a visitor requests a page from
any Web site within the HotConference.net Network, our Web servers
automatically recognize that visitor's domain name and IP address.
The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about
you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our
site. We use this information to examine our traffic in aggregate,
and to investigate misuse of the HotConference.net Network,
its users, or to cooperate with law enforcement. See also Will
you disclose the information you collect to outside third parties?
We do not collect and evaluate this information for specific
individuals. Our Web servers do not automatically record e-mail
addresses of the visitors.
What
are cookies?
HotConference.net
or its associates may send a "cookie" to your computer.
A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your Internet
browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard
drive. A cookie can't read data off of your computer hard disk
or read cookie files created by other Web sites. Cookies do
not damage your system. We use cookies to identify which areas
of HotConference.net's Network you have visited or customized,
so the next time you visit, those pages may be readily accessible.
You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings
of your Internet browser. You can reset your browser to refuse
all cookies, or allow your browser to show you when a cookie
is being sent. If you choose not to accept these cookies, your
experience at our Site and other Web sites may be diminished
and some features may not work as intended.
What
information do you collect when I register for something?
HotConference.net
offers access to some services that require registration. We
may use your registration contact information to send notification
to you of HotConference.net products and services by e-mail
and/or postal mail.
What
other information do you request?
We
may also request your e-mail address or mailing address for
the purposes of conducting a survey or to provide additional
services (for example, subscriptions to e-mail newsletters,
announcement lists or information about HotConference.net products).
Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will clearly
indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the information is
requested. We maintain a strict "No-Spam" policy that
means that we do not sell, rent, or otherwise give your e-mail
address to a third-party, without your consent or as permitted
by this Privacy Policy.
We
may from time to time send e-mail announcing new HotConference.net
products and services. Except as stated above, HotConference.net
will not send you e-mail that you have not agreed to receive.
When
you register for a contest or other promotion, we may ask for
your name, address, and e-mail address so we can administer
the contest and notify winners.
What
information do you collect when I purchase something?
If
you are purchasing something from HotConference.net, we need
to know your name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit card
number and expiration date. This allows us to process and fulfill
your order and to notify you of your order status. This information
may also be used by us to notify you of related products and
services. Credit card information is NOT retained on file for
point of sale items. Point of sale items is defined as a single,
non-recurring, purchase. This means should you purchase additional
services from us in the future, you will need to provide your
credit card information for each and every additional transaction.
On the other hand, if you are subscribed to a monthly or recurring
purchase, such as conference room rentals, then your credit
card information is retained on file for this purpose, only.
HotConference.net
uses a shopping cart feature that safeguards this information
by using industry standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encrypted
servers. SSL codes the information transferred between you and
the server, rendering it unreadable to anyone trying to intercept
the information.
Will
you disclose the information you collect to outside third parties?
HotConference.net
will disclose personal information and/or an IP address, when
required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action
is necessary to:
1) Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities
and conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process
served on HotConference.net,
2) Protect and defend the rights or property of the HotConference.net
Network of sites and related properties, or visitors to the
HotConference.net Network of sites and related properties,
3) Identify persons who may be violating the law, the HotConference.net
legal notice and Web site User Agreement, the rights of third
parties, or otherwise misusing the HotConference.net Network
or its related properties,
4) Fulfill a user's order or request.
HotConference.net
uses reasonable precautions to keep the information disclosed
to us secure. HotConference.net reserves the right to transfer
all such information in connection with the sale of all or part
of HotConference.net's capital stock or assets. Furthermore,
we are not responsible for any breach of security or for any
actions of any third parties that receive the information. We
are not responsible for such third party privacy policies or
how they treat information about their users. See below,
