Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to www.iFet.com and all services provided through www.iFet.com ('iFet'). We understand that the privacy of our members, subscribers, guests and/or visitors (collectively, 'Members', 'you' or 'your') is very important and we ask that you take the time to read this carefully.
iFet contains many links to 3rd party suppliers, advertisers and service providers over which we exert no control. This Privacy Policy applies only to iFet and does not apply to any 3rd party suppliers, advertisers and service providers who will each have their own privacy policies.
A Special Note About Children - children under eighteen (18) years of age are prohibited from using the iFet Website or any services offered through the Website (collectively with the Website, the 'Services').
Information iFet Collects - during the registration process for, or while using, any of the iFet Services, you may provide us with certain system or 'Personal Information' which can include your name, email address, billing information or other data that can be used to personally identify you, and including 'Sensitive Personal Information', for example, your racial or ethnic origins, political or religious beliefs, or sexuality. Whenever the context may require and unless otherwise specified, references to Personal Information include Sensitive Personal Information.
If you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or letters, or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings on iFet, we may collect such information into a file that is accessed by authorized iFet personnel or its representatives. We may also collect other Members' comments about you.
You may choose to use our referral service to tell a friend or friends about us. In this case, we will ask you for your friend's name and email address and email your friend an invite to him or her to visit iFet. We maintain this information for the sole purpose of sending email and tracking the status of the referral. Your friend or friends may use the unsubscribe function in the email or contact us at privacy@iFet.com to request that we remove their email address from our records.
Use of Cookies - iFet may use 'cookies' to store and sometimes track information to make your online experience easier and more personalized. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user's web browser on the user's storage drive. Cookies may record information a user accesses on one webpage to simplify subsequent interactions with that website by the same user, or to use the information to streamline the user's transactions on related web pages. Cookies make it easier for a user to move from webpage to webpage and to complete transactions over the Internet. Most major web browsers are set up so that they will initially accept cookies, but you may modify your computer's preferences to issue you an alert when a cookie is downloaded, or to disable the ability of third parties to download a cookie to you. If you choose to reject all cookies, there may be areas of iFet that may not function properly. You may obtain further information about cookies and how they function at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie. We, or a data provider (or advertiser) that we have engaged, may also place or recognize a cookie on your browser to enable you to receive customized ads or content. These cookies contain no Personal Information. The cookies may reflect de-identified demographic or other data linked to data you voluntarily have submitted to us, e.g., your email address, that we may share with a data provider (or advertiser) solely in hashed, i.e., in a non-human readable, format. To opt-out of these cookies (or to learn more about them), please go to http://www.aboutads.info/choices.
We may also use standard Internet technology, such as web beacons or 1x1 "gifs" and other similar technologies (collectively "Pixel Tags"). A Pixel Tag is an electronic image, often a single pixel (1x1), that is ordinarily not visible to Members and may be associated with cookies on the Members' storage drives. We may use Pixel Tags to track your use of iFet, for advertising, marketing, or promotional purposes, or for example to determine whether you opened an email message from us. The information also enables us to customize the services we offer.
Our Use of Your Personal Information - we use your Personal Information for many purposes, including emailing you with news and updates about iFet, improving and customizing our content and product offerings, analysing iFet website usage and delivering information targeted to your interests, such as banners and promotions. We may also use your Personal Information to provide you with information about the products and services provided by iFet or third parties.
If you have provided us certain Personal Information, we may also use it to facilitate your communication with other members by, for example, the use of introduction email messages. Similarly, because of the nature of many of services provided by iFet, certain Personal Information may be disclosed to other Members. (For illustration purposes, if you complete an extended profile and choose to disclose your religious affiliation or ethnic origin, this information will be available to other Members using the Services). You acknowledge that you have consented to its use in this manner.
We may also use Personal Information to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, enforce any agreements, policies and rules governing the use of iFet, and observe and/or monitor iFet for quality control and customer service purposes. In many cases, providing your Personal Information is voluntary. However, if you do not provide your Personal Information to us, you may not be able to access some or all of our services.
Our Disclosure of Your Information - we may share or transfer some or all of your Personal Information among our subsidiaries, affiliates and partners so that they can send you information about their products or services that you may be interested in. We also disclose Personal Information to our service providers (for example, credit card processing companies, billing services) as reasonably necessary or appropriate to provide the Services. Because iFet may use service providers located in different countries, Personal Information may be transferred to a country in which you do not reside.
In response to compulsory (required) governmental and/or third party inquiries, we may disclose Personal Information to comply with a court order, search warrant or other such authority. We expressly reserve the right to disclose your Personal Information when we have a good faith belief that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, or to enforce our agreements, policies or rules governing your use of iFet, or to cooperate with law enforcement.
We do not sell or rent any of your Personal Information to third parties for marketing purposes without your permission or consent. We may, however, disclose to third-party advertisers for other marketing and promotional purposes certain aggregated and/or hashed information in a manner that no longer reflects or references an individually identifiable user.
By using iFet, you consent to us providing any Personal Information you have provided to us, including Sensitive Personal Information, to other third parties as described in this Policy.
Your Use of iFet 'Members' Information - you may not use another iFet 'Members' information, whether private or not, for commercial purposes, to spam, to harass, or to make unlawful threats. We reserve the right to terminate those who misuse other Members' information or who otherwise violate any user agreements, policies, or rules governing the use of iFet.
Do Not Disclose Your Personal Information or Password - DO NOT post, share or disclose in public forums, for example, chat rooms, blogs, any Personal Information that you do not wish other Members to know. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your Personal Information to others. Similarly, you should never disclose or share your password with anyone else. If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your Personal Information and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. If your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately change your password and advise us at privacy@ifet.com.
Reviewing, Changing or Removing Your Personal Information - once you register, you will be able to review and change much of your Personal Information including:
1. Your email address
2. Your city, state/county, postal/ZIP or other location code, country
3. Your password
4. Your profile
Please promptly update your information by logging in to your account and following the screen prompts. We strongly urge you to change your password periodically to help reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your account information. Upon your request, we will remove your credit card number and credit card expiration date from our main databases. To make this request, email us at privacy@ifet.com. Despite the foregoing and even though you have requested us to remove information, we will retain in our files certain data such as credit card information used to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, comply with credit card merchant banking and association agreements, enhance security, reduce fraud, comply with the law, or to enforce any agreements, policies, and rules governing your use of iFet. Removed information also may persist in backup copies and/or other users' caches. For example, any information exchange with other Members may remain in their e-mail boxes, computer caches, or instant message archive. Whether your exchanged information is kept by another Member is beyond the control of iFet. Any such information retained by iFet or under our control is not available to third parties except as provided in this Policy.
Third Party Collections of Information - this Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your Personal Information to others while using iFet or other websites throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to its use, maintenance, or disclosure. iFet does not control the privacy policies of third parties, and you are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties where applicable.
Security - iFet uses reasonable security measures to help protect and prevent the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. We use industry standard efforts, such as firewalls and encryption using SSL, to safeguard your Personal Information. While 'perfect security' does not exist on the Internet, or elsewhere, our technical staff work hard to help ensure your secure use of our services.
Location - iFet is located in the United Kingdom. If you are visiting iFet from outside the United Kingdom, you are advised that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United Kingdom or other countries in which iFet or its service providers are located. The data protection and other laws of the United Kingdom and these other countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your country. By using iFet and the iFet Services, you consent to us transferring your Personal Information (which includes, for the avoidance of doubt, your Sensitive Personal Information) from your country to the United Kingdom or countries in which iFet or its service providers are located for the purposes described in this Policy.
Update/Delete/Opt-Out - You may request access to Personal Information we hold about you and we will provide this to you except in limited circumstances in which we are permitted not to. You may contact us to modify or delete your Personal Information from our database by: sending an email to privacy@ifet.com or by logging in with your password and modifying/deleting your profile.
Revisions to this Privacy Policy - iFet reserves its right, in their sole and absolute discretion, to revise, amend, modify or revoke this Privacy Policy at any time and in any manner to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice. Changes to this Policy will be effective by posting revisions on the iFet website.
