- Privacy and Security Policy
ISMETA respects the privacy concerns of the users. This privacy statement was created to explain what information is gathered during a visit to the Site and how such information may be used.
Use of Information: It is not our policy to collect personally identifiable information automatically from your visit to the Site. However, certain non-personal information is recorded by the standard operation of the ISMETA internet servers. Information such as the type of browser being used, its operating system, and your IP address is gathered in order to enhance your online experience.
The Site’s various mailing lists, downloads, special offers, contests, registration forms, and surveys may request that you give us contact information such as your name, mailing and/or e-mail address, etc. Information submitted at the time of submission will be used by ISMETA only as necessary for our business interests, including without limitation, the improvement of our products, services and the contents of the Site.
Personal, identifiable information is never sold or leased to any third-party. With your permission, we may use your contact information to send you information about ISMETA, our services or our products. You may always opt-out of receiving future mailings as provided below. ISMETA does not store any credit card information it may receive in regard to a specific transaction and/or billing arrangement except as necessary to complete and satisfy transactions between you and ISMETA.
ISMETA may disclose user information in special cases 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 (either intentionally or unintentionally) with, ISMETA’s rights or property, other users of the Site, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.
Use of Cookies: Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to an individual’s computer hard drive for record keeping purposes. Cookies make using our Site easier by, among other things, saving your passwords and preferences for you. These cookies are restricted for use only on our Site, and do not transfer any personal information to any other party. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can, however, reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. Please consult the technical information relevant to your browser for instructions. If you choose to disable your cookies setting or refuse to accept a cookie, some parts of the Site may not function properly or may be considerably slower.
Malware/Spyware/Viruses: Neither ISMETA nor the Site knowingly permit the use of malware, spyware, viruses, and/or other similar types of software.
Links to External Sites: ISMETA is not responsible for the content or practices of third-party websites that may be linked to the Site. ISMETA is also not responsible for any information that you might share with such linked websites. You should refer to each website’s respective privacy policy and practices prior to disclosing any information.
Bulletin Boards and Chat Areas: Guests of the Site are solely responsible for the content of messages they post on ISMETA’s forums, such as chat rooms and bulletin boards. Users should be aware that when they voluntarily disclose personal information (e.g., user name, e-mail address, phone number) on the bulletin boards or in the chat areas, that information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other people. You are responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in these instances. Please take care when using these features. Choice/Opt-Out: The Site may provide you with the opportunity to opt-in to receive communications from us at the point where we request information about you. You always have the option of removing your name from any e-mail list in order to discontinue any such future communications. In order to ensure immediate removal from any list, please follow the specific instructions set forth within the communications you receive from ISMETA which you no longer wish to receive. If you are unsuccessful in completing the instructions specified in any such communication, please e-mail us at info@ismeta.org including a copy of the undesired email attached to the request, and state you wish to be removed from the mailing list.
Contact Information for Complaints or Concerns: If you have any complaints or concerns about ISMETA or about this privacy statement, please contact:
Via email: info@ismeta.org.
Information provided by you via general e-mail inquiries to ISMETA such as your e-mail address is used only to respond to your inquiries in the ordinary course of business, and is never shared with third parties.
Security: Security for all personally identifiable information is extremely important to us. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, ISMETA cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit via the internet. By transmitting any such information, you accept that you do so at your own risk.
