NetProspex Inc. is serious about protecting the privacy of your personal information, whether you are a subscriber to or user of any of the NetProspex on-line services, or a visitor to or user of the NetProspex website. We have put strict policies into place to ensure that the privacy of your personal information is protected while still enabling you to make use of the website or the on-line services provided by NetProspex. We use information collected about you through the use of our on-line services or on the website solely for the purposes set out in this policy. The terms of this privacy policy may be updated from time to time, so please check our website or this page occasionally for updates. The terms of this policy are also incorporated into the NetProspex Terms of Use, found at http://www.netprospex.com/termsofuse.
Collection of Information and its use
When you sign up with NetProspex on-line, either in the form of a subscription to a NetProspex on-line service, or by requesting additional information about our services on our website, or by signing up to participate in a NetProspex survey, event, contest or sweepstakes on-line, all users are asked to fill out a registration form. Registration information is kept private and secure and is used only for purposes of maintaining subscription accounts, billing and to contact users with information regarding our services, surveys, contests or similar events. We do not share, sell or rent this information with or to any third party. NetProspex employs a secure e-mail hosting service to deliver e-mail and communications.
By completing any of our on-line registration processes, you are specifically agreeing to receive communication from us by e-mail, postal mail and by telephone.
In addition to the personal information added by users in this registration process, other information collected will include (and is not limited to) IP address, browser type, time and date of use, and any activity performed while on our website or using our service.

PLEASE NOTE: Your registration information and/or any information collected by NetProspex when you visit the NetProspex website, is neither added to the NetProspex Content (as defined in the Terms of Use) within the Services, nor is it included in the NetProspex Business Contact Database (see the description of such database below) and such information cannot be accessed by users of a NetProspex service. If you wish to share contact information with other users of the NetProspex services you may use the separate user content contribution service, terms for which are found at http://www.netprospex.com/termsofusecontent for adding contact information to the NetProspex database.
Personal Information and its use
NetProspex will not sell, rent, license or otherwise share personally identifiable information (such as name, email, mail address, billing address etc.) that you submit in your registration for our services or your registration for inquiries into our services. In order to make NetProspex more useful to customers, we do, however, collect and analyze aggregated, non-personal, statistical information about subscribers and visitors. From time to time we share this information in aggregate and de-identified form only, with third parties. This information reveals nothing about individual users and visitors to the website and is only used to communicate demographic and behavioral understandings of our customers and visitors internally and to potential advertisers, business partners and investors.
Security
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information collected on or through our website and in our services. While we use the latest security technologies and tools it should be noted that no method of electronic storage or transmission can guarantee absolute security.
When you enter sensitive personal information (such as credit card information) into our system, such information is stored in an encrypted form (with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology) on our servers and will not be sold or shared with any third party other than the trusted transaction processing partner that we use to complete any on-line financial transaction.
While we strive to protect your personal information, NetProspex cannot ensure or warrant the security of any data or content you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. In the event of a breach of the confidentiality or security of your personal information, we will notify you as soon as possible so you can take appropriate protective steps and to inform you of the steps that NetProspex is taking with respect to such breach.

The NetProspex Business Contact Database and Ability to Opt Out
The NetProspex Business Contact Database contains millions of business contact records and company profiles. The NetProspex Business Contact Database has been created by NetProspex in the following ways: 1) by way of crowd-sourcing, meaning that data or content has been contributed to the database by third parties, as further described in our User Content Contribution Terms of Use and 2) by way of licensing of business information from third party data providers. The NetProspex Business Contact Database is cleaned and verified by way of NetProspex’s proprietary CleneStep™ methods and technologies and is then made available to our customers, partners and other third parties via a variety of contractual means, including to users of the website through on-line subscription services.
The NetProspex Business Contact Database contains business information only. The NetProspex Business Contact Database does not identify the source of the underlying information within the database or to third parties. If you wish to update your business profile or request the removal of your profile from the NetProspex Business Contact Database, you may do so at any time, via email: support@netprospex.com or privacy@netprospex.com, via the internet: http://support.netprospex.com, or via a toll-free number to our Customer Service: 1-888-826-4877.
