To whom does Nametech.com's Privacy Policy
apply?
NameTech would like to inform its customers or visitors to our web site located at http://www.nametech.com (the "Site") and all
persons who register domain names and employ our services, about what information we
collect and how we use it. NameTech maintains a database of information on its customers
and users of the services it provides - this information includes: first and last name of
contact person, organization (if any), city, state, zip/postal code (when applicable),
telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address.
NameTech is committed to protecting the privacy of its customers and visitors to our Site
in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. Questions regarding this Privacy
Policy should be directed to privacy @ nametech com . Please read this
entire policy for complete details.
What information does NameTech collect from its customers or
visitors to the Site? How does NameTech use the information it collects?
NameTech maintains a database of information on all of its customers. When a customer
chooses to purchase one of our services, we ask for several pieces of information which
might include: first and last name, organization, city, state, zip code (or country and
postal code for non-U.S. residents), telephone number, e-mail address (if available), and
credit card information (NOTE: No credit card information is stored on any of
NameTech's servers.) We may use this personally identifiable information to
contact our customers about their account or other matters relating to the Services, such
as to inform our customers about new features on our Site. We may also use this personally
identifiable information to send our customers our newsletter or e-mail messages regarding
products or services we think our customers might be interested in. (If you are a
customer, please see below for instructions on how you can "opt out" of our
newsletter or these e-mail messages.) These communications are essential to our
relationship with our customers and to our ability to provide our customers with quality
products and services that are responsive to our customers needs. At the same time, these
communications, and our customers responses to them, give us helpful insights about them,
their preferences and the ways in which we might improve our services. Therefore, it is
likely that we will maintain this information for future use.
"Cookies" are a standard technology used to collect information about how a
company's website is used, such as which pages are the most frequently visited by its
customers. "Cookies" are small pieces of electronic information that are stored
by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Cookies enable a company's website to
recognize your browser and provide personalized information and features such as
pre-populated address forms and storage of selected items in "Shopping Carts"
between visits. Cookies are often required for normal website functionality, and most web
browsers automatically accept cookies, although you can usually change your browser to
deactivate cookies by modifying your computer browser preferences.
Cookies may be utilized by third parties who advertise or provide links on the Site. Due
to the way the Internet technically operates, Nametech.com cannot the control data
collection activities by such third-party advertisers or linked web sites. You should
contact these advertisers or web site operators if you have any questions about their use
of the information they collect. If you would like more information about this practice
and to know your choices about how information is used by these companies, please go to http://www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp
. It is quite possible that if you click on a link to NameTech or banner ad for NameTech
on another website, you may receive a cookie from that website, but you will not receive a
cookie from us.
How does NameTech protect the information about its
customers?
The information we receive from or about our customers is stored on systems designed to
prevent the loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction of
that information. We also encrypt the transmission of sensitive information to us (e.g.,
credit card numbers, account passwords) in the interest of heightened privacy protection
and information integrity. While we use industry standard security practices, no
transmission or storage on the Internet is completely secure. No credit card information
is stored on any of Nametech.com's servers.
Will NameTech disclose the information it collects to
outside parties?
NameTech respects the privacy of all of its customers. We may make certain information
about our customers available to the general public via our domain name look-up and
directory "whois" Services (e.g., name, address, telephone and email of the
Registrant), but please be advised that this type of information is not the sole property
of Nametech.com as it is freely available on the Internet. However, NameTech may share the
information stored on any of its databases, as well as other information we collect or our
customers provide, with our subsidiaries and other parties selected by us, including with
the parties or in the circumstances described below:
- Agents or vendors who are responsible for handling your Account or performing other
necessary Services that you or we require. Although we may share sensitive financial
information (i.e., credit card numbers, banking information), security information (e.g.,
account passwords) and personal communications (e.g., personal e-mail messages or message
board postings) with such agents or vendors, we do so only where necessary and
appropriate, such as to provide customer Services or process Services you ordered through
the Site.
- Business partners whose Services you may request or access on or through our Site.
- Business partners or vendors who we believe offer products or services that may be of
interest to you. If you do not want to receive such offers, please contact privacy @
nametech com.
- In response to formal requests (e.g., subpoena or court order) made in connection with
litigation or arbitration proceedings, or as reasonably necessary to (i) cooperate with
law enforcement agencies or otherwise comply with local, state or federal law, (ii)
enforce or apply the terms of any of our user agreements or (iii) protect the rights,
property or safety of NameTech, our users, or others.
- Transfer of ownership of our business or a part of our business. If our business or a
part of our business is acquired, sold or transferred to another business, customer
information may be a part of that acquisition, sale or transfer.
How can you opt out?
If you wish to be removed from our e-mail subscription list, you may "opt out"
before registering a domain name, or, if you forget, you can reply to the link at the
bottom of an email or newsletter you receive from us and request to be removed from the
list. You cannot opt out from having your personal information displayed in our
"whois" database. Furthermore, some information is not completely removed from
our databases because our systems are periodically backed-up.
How do I correct or change Account or Contact Information
that I have given to Nametech.com?
You may update this information at any time through "My Account" at NameTech. If
you have any questions about correcting or updating your information, please contact us
either by email or phone.

collection and use of information by NameTech in conformance with the most recently posted
Privacy Policy. If NameTech decides to change this Privacy Policy, we will post those
changes on this page (http://www.nametech.com/privacypolicy/) so that you
are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what
circumstances we disclose it.
