This Privacy Policy covers Newsvetter’s treatment of personal information that Newsvetter gathers when you are on the Newsvetter website. By visiting the Newsvetter website, you are accepting the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.
Information Collected by Newsvetter
We collect any information you provide to the Newsvetter website. In order for you to use Newsvetter features, such as submitting news and or evaluating submitted news stories, you must complete a registration form. As part of this registration form, we require select personal information (such as your full name, company affiliation, industry sector, phone and e-mail address).
Upon registration, a user profile is created where personal information, such as name, company affiliation, industry sector, phone (optional), and personal photo (optional) may be viewed by other registered users when you take part in certain site activities.
Newsvetter and its authorized agents automatically receive and record certain "traffic data" on their server logs from your browser including your IP address, Newsvetter cookie information, and the pages you visit. Newsvetter uses this traffic data to help diagnose problems with its servers, analyze trends and administer the website.
Newsvetter cookies do not collect personal information, and we do not combine information collected through cookies with other personal information to tell us who you are or what your screen name or e-mail address is. If you choose to disable Cookies, you may not be able to use certain site features and/or login to the website.
Information Shared by Newsvetter
Newsvetter will never provide your email address to a third party without your explicit permission. Newsvetter may send out e-mails with Newsvetter-related news, products, offers, surveys or promotions. You may also receive notification e-mails from Newsvetter, which inform you of actions (e.g. news submissions, news comments) that have been performed on the site. If you do not want to receive e-mail from us, please visit your user profile and edit your subscriptions. However, please note that in all cases you will continue to receive all system e-mails (e.g. those regarding forgotten user passwords) and legal notices (e.g. updates to our policies) from us.
Newsvetter does not rent or sell your personal information. Newsvetter may share your information with third parties (e.g., service providers) who help us operate the website and the Newsvetter service. In the event a sale of all or substantially all of Newsvetters assets, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred.
We may release personal information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with a law; to enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other policies; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Newsvetter, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Information collected during registration and subsequent visits, such as your full name and affiliation, may be displayed to other registered Newsvetter users in your user profile. Newsvetter allows registered users to browse stories that you have submitted, rated, or commented on. This information is made available via your user profile on which you performed the action. Newsvetter may choose to post this data on other site features.
Newsvetter allows for the RSS syndication of all of its public content within the Newsvetter website.
Keeping Information Secure
We use a variety of security measures, including SSL/HTTPS to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your personal information is contained behind secure networks and is only accessible to a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. The physical network is protected by a Cisco firewall, all servers are patched, and even though it is a shared environment, there is no SSH access. The site is using a leading website platform, which has all security updates applied.
Your Newsvetter account information is protected by a password for your privacy and security. Protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer by logging off once you have finished using a shared computer. Only employees who need personal information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to it.
Ways to Control Display and Use of Your Information
By visiting your user profile, you can correct, amend, add or delete personal information on our website.
You may request deletion of your Newsvetter account by e-mailing us at privacy [at] newsvetter [dot] com.
If you do not wish to receive e-mail from us or other Newsvetter users, please visit your user profile and edit your account settings and subscriptions. However, please note that you will continue to receive all system e-mails (e.g. those regarding forgotten user passwords) and legal notices (e.g. updates to our policies) from us.
