What personal information is collected and how is that information used?

For each visitor to the United Marketing Services Web sites, our Web server automatically recognizes the visitor's domain name, but not his or her e-mail address. UMS may collect domain names; however, UMS does not share this information with other organizations for commercial purposes.

UMS collects personal information that you volunteer while visiting our site. You can access the home pages of our Web sites and browse our sites without disclosing any personal data.

The personal information you provide UMS allows us to provide you with services such as information about our company; to notify you of new services, features, or enhancements; and/or to notify you of special events or promotions. Personal information collected may include your name, company name, company address, phone number, fax number, and e-mail address. We do not require this information to gain access to our sites. However, you may not be able to access certain areas or receive materials such as newsletters without providing this information.

We do not collect information about our visitors from other sources, such as public records or private organizations. We do not collect or use personal data for any purpose other than to fulfill your requests for information or to respond to specific queries. If we wish to use your personal data for a new purpose, we will offer you the means to consent to this new purpose by indicating in a box at the point on the site where personal data is collected.

 

What other information is collected?

None! Many Web sites use cookies to retrieve user information for promotional or marketing purposes. We do not use cookies on our Web sites.

Our Web sites do not enable our visitors to communicate with other visitors, to post information to be accessed by others, or to link to third party Web service providers.

 

Who is collecting your information?

When you submit information via a UMS site, you are sharing that information only with UMS unless specifically stated otherwise.

How secure is your personal data?

United Marketing Services has taken steps to ensure that your information is secure. Access to personal information is controlled and we have implemented security policies, rules and technical measures to protect against unauthorized access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorized modification, and unlawful destruction or accidental loss. We use industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving consumer data. For example, we use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption when credit card information is transmitted.

All of our employees and data processors who have access to and are associated with the processing of personal data are obliged to respect the confidentiality of our visitors' personal data. In addition, we will not disclose your personal information to state institutions and authorities unless required by law or other regulation to do so.

 

What choices do you have about how your information is collected, used, and distributed?

You have choices about how your information will be used. If at any time you wish to opt-out of providing us with your personal information and/or receiving information via e-mail or postal mail about new services or promotions, you can do so. Simply visit us at the following address:

When possible, we will also offer you an opportunity to consent to disclosure by indicating in a box at the point on the site where personal data is collected.

 

Do we collect information from children?

We do not collect or store any personally identifiable information, such as name, address, or e-mail address, once a user states that his or her age is under 13 years old. For those programs that are designed specifically for children, we do not collect any more personal information than is reasonably necessary to enable children to participate. We do not share the personal information of children with anyone other than those who provide support for the internal operations.

We provide information about our personal data practices in relation to children on our home page and wherever we knowingly collect personal data from children on our Web sites.

United Marketing Services recognizes a special obligation to protect the personal information obtained from young children. We urge parents to instruct their children to never give out personal information without your permission when using a Web site. Users between the ages of 13 and 17 should encourage their parents to review this Privacy Policy. Parents can contact us if they would like to evoke our opt-out policy or to raise any concerns.

·         voluntarily committed to a Self Assessment procedure (http://www.umspromo.com/).

·         voluntarily committed to a Third Party Organization certification, such as that of the Direct Marketing Association (http://www.the-DMA.org/) or the Better Business Bureau.

·         subject to a Government Agency supervision, such as the Federal Trade Commission (http://www.ftc.gov/).

·         subject to an Independent Data Protection Authority supervision, such as the Center for Democracy and Technology (http://www.cdt.org/).
