IQMS Website Privacy Statement
This document was last updated on March 14, 2007.
IQMS is committed to protecting your privacy. This
Privacy Statement sets forth our current privacy practices with
regard to the information we collect when you or your computer interact
with our website. By accessing IQMS at www.iqms.com, you acknowledge
and fully understand IQMS's Privacy Statement and freely consent
to the information collection and use practices described in this
Website Privacy Statement.
Related services and offerings with links from this
website, including vendor sites, have their own privacy statements
that can be viewed by clicking on the corresponding links within
each respective website. Online merchants and others who participate
in IQMS services are encouraged to participate in industry privacy
initiatives and to take a responsible attitude towards consumer
privacy. However, since we do not have direct control over the policies
or practices of participating merchants and other third parties,
we are not responsible for the privacy practices or contents of
those sites. We recommend and encourage that you always review the
privacy policies of merchants and other third parties before you
provide any personal information or complete any transaction with
such parties.
IQMS collects certain information from and about its
users three ways: directly from our Web Server logs, the user, and
with Cookies.
a. Web Server Logs.
When you visit our Website, we may track information
to administer the site and analyze its usage. Examples of information
we may track include:
- Your Internet protocol address.
- The kind of browser or computer you use.
- Number of links you click within the site.
- State or country from which you accessed the site.
- Date and time of your visit.
- Name of your Internet service provider.
- Web page you linked to our site from.
- Pages you viewed on the site.
b. Use of Cookies
IQMS may use cookies to personalize or enhance your
user experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on
your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run
programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely
assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web Server in the domain
that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide
a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize
a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to
recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this
simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases
site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login
information as well as providing personalized functionality.
IQMS reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics
with partner companies, but does not allow other companies to place
cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer
value (such as merging into iqms.com a site that relies on third-party
cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies.
Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually
modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies
by changing your browser settings then be aware that this may disable
some of the functionality on our Website.
c. Personal Information Users
Visitors to our website can register to receive products,
and other user services. When you register, we will request some
personal information such as name, address, email, telephone number
or and other relevant information. If you are registering for a
service, we may request financial information. Any financial information
we collect is used only to bill you for the services you purchased.
If you purchase by credit card, this information may be forwarded
to your credit card provider. For other types of registrations,
we will ask for the relevant information. You may also be asked
to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide assistance
and information to you. For example, such data may be warranted
in order to provide online technical support and troubleshooting.
We will not disclose personally identifiable information
we collect from you to third parties without your permission except
to the extent necessary including:
- To fulfill your service requests for services.
- To protect ourselves from liability.
- To respond to legal process or comply with law,
or
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation
of the company.
IQMS and www.iqms.com web pages may contain electronic
images known as Web beacons - sometimes also called single-pixel
gifs - that allow IQMS to count users who have visited those pages
and to deliver co-branded services. IQMS may include Web beacons
in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine
whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party
service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising
campaigns or email communications. These Web beacons may be used
by these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your
computer. This allows the service provider to recognize your computer
each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous
information in relation to those page views, which in turn enables
us and our service providers to learn which advertisements and emails
bring you to our website and how you use the site. IQMS prohibits
Web beacons from being used to collect or access your personal information.
We will provide you with the means to ensure that
personally identifiable information in your web account file is
correct and current. You may review this information by contacting
us by sending an email to info@iqms.com.
IQMS has the discretion to occasionally update this
privacy statement. When we do, we will also revise the "updated"
date at the top of this Privacy page. We encourage you to periodically
review this privacy statement to stay informed about how we are
helping to protect the personal information we collect. Your continued
use of the service constitutes your agreement to this privacy statement
and any updates.
If you have questions regarding our Privacy Statement,
its implementation, failure to adhere to this Privacy Statement
and/or our general practices, please contact us. info@iqms.com
