General Information Collection and Use
Inventables is the sole owner of the information collected on
the Website. We will not sell, share or rent this information
to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement,
without first obtaining your consent. Information collected is
used to register the user for certain selected services (e.g.
access to the Inventables database) and to contact the user about
such services (e.g. e-mail address).
Some of our services may be offered in conjunction with partner
companies, affiliates or other companies or websites with which
we work. In order for us to provide these services to you, it
may be necessary for us to share your personal information with
one of such entities. These parties are not allowed to use personally
identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these
services. If you do not want your data to be shared, you can choose
not to allow the transfer by not using that particular service.
Cookies
A "cookie" is a piece of data stored on a user's hard
drive containing information about the user. As part of offering
and providing personalized services, we may use cookies in an
effort to save you time while on our Website. If a user rejects
the cookie, he or she may still have limited use of the Website.
Generally we use cookies to:
1. Remind us who you are and to access your account information;
2. Track and target the interests of our users to enhance the
experience on our Website; and
3. Estimate our audience size and measure certain traffic patterns.
IP Addresses
Every computer connected to the Internet is given an IP address.
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the Website,
track users' movement and gather broad demographic information
for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable
information, and our web servers do not record the e-mail addresses
of our visitors.
Sharing
As a general rule, except as described in this privacy statement,
we will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information
except when we have your permission or under special circumstances
(such as when we believe the law requires it). We may disclose
or share aggregated demographic information with certain partners,
affiliates and advertisers, however, except as described above,
this is not linked to any personal information that can identify
any individual person or company. In addition, Inventables may
disclose account or other personal information when we have reason
to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify,
contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing
injury to or interference with Inventables's rights or property,
other Website users or anyone else that could be harmed by such
activities.
Links
This Website may contain links to other websites. Please be aware
that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such
other websites, as this privacy statement applies solely to the
Website. We encourage our users to remain vigilant when they leave
our Website and to read the privacy statements of each and every
website that collects personally identifiable information.
Surveys
From time-to-time our Website may request information from users
via surveys. Participation in these surveys, to the extent we
run any, is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a
choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping
address) and demographic information (such as zip code and age
level). Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring
or improving the use and satisfaction of the Website.
Security
All of our users' sensitive information is restricted in our
offices. While Inventables employs commercially reasonable security
measures to protect our data and seeks to partner with companies
which do the same, we cannot absolutely guarantee the security
of any data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless
network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and we therefore
are not responsible for any breach of security or for any actions
of any third parties that may receive any such information.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If your personally identifiable information changes at any time,
please send an e-mail to .
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to "opt-out" of
receiving communications from Inventables by sending us an e-mail
at .
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy statement, we will post those
changes under the appropriate link on the "home page"
of our Website so our users are always aware of what information
we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any,
we disclose it. The new terms shall be effective 10 days after
they are initially posted on the Website. It is the responsibility
of each user to review the latest terms from time to time, and
if any user does not agree with any updates to the privacy statement,
such user should immediately cease use of the Website and purchased
services.
