We respect and are committed to protecting your privacy. That is why we have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy lets you know how your personal information is processed and used. We promise that we will take steps to use your personal information only in ways that are compatible with this Privacy Policy. The following policies are only in effect for the Web pages, newsletters, discussion forums and lists and opt-in announcement lists owned and operated by Ingenuity Network LLC.
Ingenuity Network LLC is comprised of the Internet sites ingenuitynetwork.com, supersourcecode.com and webhostingusers.com (the "Ingenuity Network Sites"). At Ingenuity Network, we intend to give you as much control as possible over your personal information, including registration data. As part of the normal operation of the Ingenuity Network Sites, we collect information from you.
The Ingenuity Network Sites are not directed at children less than 13 years of age. However, children under the age of 13 which wish to participate in Ingenuity Network Sites must submit a parental consent form prior to becoming a registered user.
Information Collection & Use
Registration
In order to become a member of any of the Ingenuity Network Sites, you must first complete the registration form and create a member name and password. During registration you are required to give contact information (such as name and email address). We use this information to contact you about the products and services on our sites in which you have expressed interest. We also use this information to contact you with any important member information.
You have the option to provide demographic information (such as job title and gender) to us; we encourage you to submit this information so we can provide you a more personalized experience on our sites.
Ingenuity Network LLC is the sole owner of the information collected on the Ingenuity Network Sites. Ingenuity Network collects personally identifiable information from our users at several different points on our web sites.
Orders
If you purchase a product or service from us, we request certain personally identifiable information from you on our order form. You must provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date).
We use this information for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use this information to contact you.
Surveys or Contests
From time-to-time we may provide you the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys on our site. If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code).
We use this information to notify contest winners and award prizes.
Tell-A-Friend
If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about our site, we will ask you for your friend’s name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. Ingenuity Network stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of our referral program.
Your friend may contact us at
to request that we remove this information from our database.
Uses of Information
We use personally identifiable information collected through our web sites to contact you regarding products and services offered by Ingenuity Network and its partners, and otherwise to enhance your experience with Ingenuity Network and our partners. We also use information collected through our web sites for research regarding the effectiveness of the web sites and the marketing, advertising and sales efforts of Ingenuity Network and partners.
Communications from the Sites
Special Offers and Updates
We will occasionally send you information on products, services, special deals and promotions. You can sign up for these emails from us on our registration and member profile pages.
Out of respect for your privacy, we present the option not to receive these types of communications. Please see the “Choice, Opt-in and Opt-out.”
Newsletters
If you wish to subscribe to our newsletter(s), we will use your name and email address to send the newsletter to you. Out of respect for your privacy, we provide you a way to unsubscribe. Please see the “Choice, Opt-in and Opt-out” section. Service-related Announcements
We will send you strictly service-related announcements on rare occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if there is a problem with your account, we might send you an email.
Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature.
Customer Service
Based upon the personally identifiable information you provide us, we will send you a welcoming email to verify your username and password. We will also communicate with you in response to your inquiries, to provide the products and services you request, and to manage your account. We will communicate with you by email or telephone.
Profile
We store information that we collect through cookies, log files, clear gifs, to create a “profile” of your preferences. We tie your personally identifiable information, and your history, to information in the profile, in order to provide tailored promotions and marketing offers and to improve the content of the site for you.
We share your profile in aggregate form only.
You have the option of making some or all of your personal information available as part of your public profile that is available to members in the member directory.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Aggregate Information (non-personally identifiable) We share aggregated demographic information about our user base with our partners and advertisers. This information does not identify individual users. We do not link aggregate user data with personally identifiable information.
Personally identifiable information: We Share Personally Identifiable Information with Third Parties.
We only share personally identifiable information with third parties upon your request, such as requesting web hosting quotes from one of our web sites.
Service Providers
We use other third parties to provide web hosting quotes on one of our sites. When you sign up for web hosting quotes, we will share the contact information you specify on the form as necessary for the third party to contact you about that service.
These third parties are prohibited from using your personally identifiable information for any other purpose.
Legal Disclaimer
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our web sites.
Choice, Opt-in and Opt-out
We provide you the opportunity to ‘opt-in’ or ‘opt-out’ of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes, when we ask for this information. For example, when you register as a member and do not wish to receive any promotional communications from us, you can indicate your preference on our registration pages.
If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each newsletter or communication or by updating your member profile to opt-out.
You will be notified when your personal information is collected by any third party that is not our agent/service provider, so you can make an informed choice as to whether or not to share your information with that party.
Log Files
As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site, to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole and to investigate misuse of the Ingenuity Network, its users, or to cooperate with law enforcement.
We do link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information. IP addresses are tied to personally identifiable information to prevent fraudulent member reviews of products and services listed on our web sites.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies on this site. We do link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site.
We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site. A session ID cookie expires when you close you browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” file.
We set a persistent cookie to store your password, so you don’t have to enter it more than once. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.
If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some areas of our site, such as contests or surveys, will be limited.
Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies on our site. We have no access to or control over these cookies. See “Third Party Advertisers.”
This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by Ingenuity Network Sites only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)
Ingenuity Network and its advertisers may use single-pixel gif images, sometimes referred to as web beacons or web bugs, to count Web page accesses and gather some general statistical information. Clear gifs help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Ingenuity Network does tie the information gathered by clear gifs to our customers’ personally identifiable information through the use of these images.
We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt-out of these emails, please see “Choice and Opt-out.”
Our advertisers may use single-pixel gifs that can track personal information from cookies that may have been previously placed on a user's computer by an advertiser.
Third Party Advertisers
Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies on our sites. We have no access to or control over these cookies. Our advertisers may use single-pixel gifs that can track personal information from cookies that may have been previously placed on a user's computer by an advertiser.
Links to Other Sites
This Web site contains links to other sites that are not owned or controlled by Ingenuity Network. Please be aware that we, Ingenuity Network, are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.
We encourage you to be aware when you leave our sites and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information.
This privacy statement applies only to information collected by the Ingenuity Network Sites.
Bulletin Boards/Chat Rooms
If you use a bulletin board or chat room on this site, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit there can be read, collected, or used by other users of these forums, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these forums.
Access to Personally Identifiable Information
If your personally identifiable information changes you may update it by making the change on your member profile page.
Security
The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number) on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
If you have any questions about security on our Web site, you can send an email to us at.
Business Transitions
In the event Ingenuity Network LLC goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your personally identifiable information will likely be among the assets transferred. We will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.
Your Consent to this Agreement
By using the Ingenuity Network Sites, you consent to the collection and use of information by Ingenuity Network LLC as specified above. We reserve the right to modify this policy.
Changes in this Privacy Statement
We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time. If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
