This Privacy Policy describes how JoinWeb treats information received about you when you become a JoinWeb customer, when you provide information to us (for instance, by purchasing goods or services through our Web Site or by responding to our customer surveys), and when you use JoinWeb to explore the World Wide Web. This policy is organized into the following sections:

Please read the Privacy Policy carefully. Also, please remember that no computer system should be considered safe from intrusion. E-mail may pass through many computer systems, and should not be considered a secure means of communication unless encrypted. Even then, information is only as secure as the encryption method. Therefore, although we take many precautions to protect our system and our servers, we cannot guarantee the security of any data on any server, including "secure servers."

Customer Information

Customer information is information such as name, address, telephone number -- any  information that identifies a particular individual or business. JoinWeb collects and stores customer information in the following ways:

As part of a customer's registration for JoinWeb's services, customers must provide their user name, address, telephone number(s), company name (if applicable), or other billing information.

We confirm your requested e-mail address(es) or domain registration(s) or Web site(s). Depending on the JoinWeb service(s) you select, we will give you a JoinWeb user ID number and one or more passwords that you must use to access and receive the services. We retain this information in our customer databases while being a customer, all data will be deleted once you are no longer a client of our services.

We don't store any sort of personal information from our clients for advertising or any other marketing purposes. We never send newsletters or contact any customer or ex-customer, unless for billing purposes, like sending invoices for services rendered or products sold.

How We Use Customer Information

The customer information that we collect during the registration process is or may be used:

• For billing purposes;
• To examine system accounting logs, user mailboxes and other company records to resolve e-mail and other system errors or problems;
• To make sure that only JoinWeb customers are able to access certain member-only services.

• We provide some information to companies that we use to perform certain functions for us -- for example, credit card numbers are sent to a credit card processing company for billing. These companies are authorized to use this information only for the expressed purpose of completing JoinWeb business and are not authorized to release this information to other third parties.
• JoinWeb may also use customer information to enforce our Appropriate Use Policy as described in the JoinWeb User's Guide, but only to the extent necessary.
• We will share customer information with governmental authorities when legally required to do so, and may cooperate with these authorities investigating claims of illegal activity such as (but not limited to) illegal transfer or use of copyrighted material, or postings or e-mail containing threats of violence, child pornography, SPAM, etc.   
• JoinWeb Is a Charter Member of CAUCE (Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial E-Mail).  JoinWeb does not permit SPAM of any type, whether this be sent using our servers or advertising Web Sites or clients hosted on our servers.  We will provide information to other ISP's if you violate this policy.  JoinWeb will assist in disclosing a SPAMMER's information to any and all lists that gather such information to identify and prevent further abuse of the Internet.
