Privacy Statement
IFMR-NA maintains high standards for the
protection of privacy over the Internet. The following policy statement
explains how IFMR-NA protects the privacy
of information transmitted over the Internet by its web-site visitors.
Generally, IFMR-NA only obtains specific
and individualized data about its website visitors when such information
is supplied voluntarily, i.e., when web site visitors send e-mail,
complete on-line forms, and/or to or purchase services from IFMR-NA. IFMR-NA then
uses the information for the purpose of fulfilling the visitors' requests.
However, IFMR-NA gathers some generic
information automatically, solely to help IFMR-NA determine the success and usefulness of its website.
This generic information, which does not reveal the identity of the
visitor, include: what web site the visitor visited, how much time people
spend on various pages of the site, visitors' domain name types (.com,
.org, etc.), and the originating webpage of the visitor. IFMR-NA uses this information to determine customer service
needs. In the future, IFMR-NA may increase
its technical abilities for gathering data about visitors in order to
enhance the services offered to visitors and customers. This privacy
policy will be periodically updated to reflect any such changes to IFMR-NA practices.
IFMR-NA websites may employ "cookies". Cookies
are small segments of text that are transmitted to a visitor's web browser
and which store information on the visitor's hard drive. This information
is later transmitted back to the server that originally sent it to the
visitor upon a later visit to that site. Cookies allow servers to recall
previous transactions to avoid repetition in data gathering. A visitor can
configure its equipment hardware, usually with its browser to make
notification when they receive a cookie. The visitor can refuse it.
IFMR-NA will NOT sell or reveal
information obtained about its visitors to anyone outside of IFMR-NA unless authorized by the visitor, it is
legally required, or such disclosure is required to protect the safety of
club members, visitors, customers, or property. IFMR-NA does NOT
send "junk" e-mail, also known as "spam". In certain instances, when
IFMR-NA wishes to contact customers via e-mail,
respond to messages, confirm purchases, or transmit information requested
by a visitor, IFMR-NA will typically use
e-mail. Any time a customer or visitor receives e-mail it does not want
from IFMR-NA, the customer can request that
IFMR-NA not send further e-mail.
IFMR-NA has security measures in place for
protecting data conveyed during a visitor's purchase with IFMR-NA. IFMR-NA employees,
partners and subcontractors are required to protect the privacy of such
data. IFMR-NA wants its visitors and
customers to feel that their privacy will be protected when the visitor
accesses their account or purchases services from IFMR-NA on-line. IFMR-NA denies
any responsibility for the privacy protections or content offered by other
sites to which IFMR-NA websites may contain
links.
Because
IFMR-NA desires accuracy in the information
it obtains and uses about its visitors and customers, IFMR-NA will attempt to verify its data and will ask its
customers to notify it of any inaccuracies or mistakes of which they may
become aware.
PAYMENT SECURITY
STATEMENT It is
our policy to never send private information, such as your credit card
number, via e-mail. In fact, this is a practice we recommend you adopt in
all of your Internet activities.
We
designed IFMR-NA to accept orders only from
Web browsers that permit communication through Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
technology; for example, versions 3.02 or higher of Internet Explorer.
This means you'll be unable to inadvertently place an order through an
unsecured connection.
