PRIVACY POLICY
Uinta Network Services, Inc. ("UNS") is committed to protecting the privacy of its customers. As UNS strives to offer its customers new products and services, UNS remains sensitive to privacy issues, including those associated with the Internet. This Privacy Policy, which reaffirms UNS's commitment to maintaining customer privacy, discloses the privacy practices governing this web site, including how UNS collects, protects, and uses Customer Information. For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, "Customer Information" means any information gathered by UNS about an identified individual, including, but not limited to, e-mail address, name, street address, telephone number, other contact information. Customer Information does not include information that is publicly available.
Scope of Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to all users of this web site ("Users"). By accessing the web site, the User consents to this Privacy Policy and to the collection and use of information by UNS as specified herein. This Privacy Policy is subject to the UNS web site Terms of Service which take precedence over any conflicting terms contained herein. Except as otherwise provided in the Terms of Use, this Privacy Policy is the entire privacy policy for this web site and supersedes any prior communication on this topic.
Collection of Customer Information
The primary reason that UNS collects and maintains Customer Information is to provide services to its customers. As explained below, information made available to UNS falls into two general categories: (1) Customer Information voluntarily supplied, and (2) generic information recorded as Users navigate through the web site. Voluntarily Provided Customer Information. Users of the web site may choose to provide Customer Information directly to UNS by a number of means, including through e-mail. Such Customer Information is stored in a secure database if information was requested from UNS.
Generic Information. When a User accesses the web site, UNS's web servers automatically record the User's Internet service provider, IP address, domain name, browser type, and operating system. This generic information does not reveal the User's identity and is used in an aggregate, non-personally identifiable form to improve the web site.
Cookies. UNS uses "cookies" to improve site performance. Cookies are random alphanumeric identifiers that are transferred through a Web browser to a User's computer hard drive. Cookies enable UNS's systems to recognize the User's browser. Most Web browsers can be set to not accept cookies, however, UNS recommends that Users leave cookies turned on to take full advantage of all of the UNS site's features.
Use of Customer Information
It is UNS's general policy to treat Customer Information as confidential and use it in a limited number of ways. When a User provides Customer Information when ordering services or requesting information on the web site, UNS uses that information for the purpose for which it was provided. Except as expressly set forth herein, UNS does not sell or otherwise intentionally disclose Customer Information obtained on-line to non-UNS entities unless the customer specifically authorizes such disclosure, it is required by law, or it is necessary to protect the safety of UNS's customers, employees or property.
Retention of Customer Information
Subject to limits imposed by applicable law, UNS retains Customer Information as long as it believes such information will be useful. UNS reserves the right to eventually remove any such Customer Information from UNS's records.
Security
UNS maintains reasonable electronic and procedural safeguards designed to protect Customer Information from loss, unauthorized access and disclosure. Although UNS believes these procedures are adequate, no method of storing or transmitting information over the Internet, including e-mail communications, is completely secure. Accordingly, UNS cannot guaranty or warrant the absolute performance of such safeguards. If a User does not want UNS to know any particular Customer Information, the User should not include it in anything submitted to this web site. UNS is not responsible for any information, including Customer Information, which may be gathered at a linked or other third-party site. Although UNS has taken precautions to ensure that linked sites follow a similar privacy policy, UNS cannot guarantee their policy or practices and urges Users to review the individual policies of each site they visit. In no event will UNS be responsible for any third-party web site policies or actions.
Changes to Policy
UNS is continuously working to improve its Privacy Policy to remain in compliance with evolving laws pertaining to the Internet and customer privacy. UNS accordingly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify the Privacy Policy from time to time. Any such change will be effective upon the posting of the revised Privacy Policy at the web site. By continuing to use the web site after the posting of any such changes, you accept and agree to the Privacy Policy, as modified.
Compliance with Laws
UNS will comply with applicable federal and state laws regarding its collection and use of your Customer Information and will limit any disclosures accordingly. UNS does not knowingly collect nor does UNS desire to collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen without verifiable parental consent.
