INFORMATION COLLECTED BY CYPRUSNET

 

Non-Personally Identifiable Consumer Data

CyprusNet delivers advertisements across multiple channels and media, including to web surfers who visit any of the hundreds of websites that are a part of CyprusNet's network. With respect to individuals who visit those websites, we collect what is known as 'Click Stream Data.' Click Stream Data is anonymous in respect to the fact whether the web surfer is logged in or not, and includes information such as a web surfer's IP address, the type of the page where the clcik action occured, date and time when an advertisement delivered by our website has been viewed or has been interacted with by a web surfer.

In addition to the Click Stream Data collected across our network, CyprusNet owns numerous websites and services where collecting of extra non-personally identifiable data may be a requirement in order to fulfill a business purpose.

As a part of the registration process at these websites, we may request and collect additional non-personally identifiable information about the visitor. Examples of the non-personally identifiable data that may be requested include age, gender, and interests. None of the foregoing information (collectively referred to as 'non-personally identifiable data'), by itself, or together, can by its nature be tracked to a specific individual.

 

Personally-Identifiable Consumer Data

At some of the websites owned and operated by CyprusNet we ask people to register and provide personally-identifiable data. CyprusNet is committed to making sure that clear notice and choice is provided to all consumers before the personally-identifiable data is collected, and that they have opted-in to our use of their data. Examples of personally-identifiable data that may be requested include name, address, and e-mail address. Web surfers who have provided personally identifiable data may elect to have their data deleted from our files, or kept from being used for purposes other than for the service requested, by following the Data Opt-Out procedures set forth below.

 

Other Information That Is Collected

At some websites, including this one, CyprusNet collects information on individuals and companies who want to enter into business relationships with CyprusNet ('business information').

We maintain business information for purposes of administering the program, such as maintaining account information, sending payments, etc. We may share business information with third-parties who provide administrative services (and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information), as well as law enforcement or government officials as we deem necessary or appropriate.

The data is also used to predict responses to advertisements, and to help determine which ads perform best and which content is most appropriate for different individuals.

If a consumer elects to provide CyprusNet with personally-identifiable data, we may utilize such data for marketing purposes. In such situations we are going to additionally request, that data may be combined with information collected from other sources to assist with targeting ads to that consumer's preferences and behaviors, and for other CyprusNet sales and marketing efforts.

SHARING WITH THIRD-PARTIES

 

All personally-identifiable data provided by individuals is maintained in strict confidence by CyprusNet and will be treated with the same level of respect and care that CyprusNet treats its other proprietary information and trade secrets. There are instances, however, in which personally-identifiable and non-personally identifiable information is shared with third-parties, as described below.

The non-personally identifiable data may be shared with third-party partners of CyprusNet on an anonymous basis. 

With respect to personally-identifiable information, CyprusNet may, from time to time, provide information to certain third-party administrative vendors for efficiency purposes in providing administrative services such as billing, delivery and pay-outs, or for other services related to providing a CyprusNet product or service. Any third-party vendor so used will be required to enter into a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement with CyprusNet upon terms and conditions consistent with the policies set forth herein.

CyprusNet may also share personally-identifiable information with third-parties who enter into business relationships with us. These business partners may include financial service providers (including credit bureaus and insurance agents); non-financial companies (including retailers, online and offline advertisers, membership list vendors, direct marketers and publishers); companies that perform marketing services on our behalf, and others such as non-profit organizations. We may also disclose information to a third-party who provides substantially similar services as the original service signed up for, if we decide to stop providing such services ourselves. In such situations, we will provide our subscribers with an opportunity to opt-out of such sharing. Please be aware that CyprusNet is very careful about which companies it does business with. 

In addition to the above, there is also the possibility that CyprusNet, or part(s) of the company, may one day be purchased by, or merged with, another company. If that's the case, the acquiring (or merging) company will have access to your information. 

Finally, CyprusNet may share information on individuals as it deems necessary to comply and cooperate with government and law enforcement officials.
