Privacy Statement

Ssom Systems, Inc. ("SS") has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. This Privacy Agreement is hereby incorporated in our Terms and Conditions of Use and by registering for our service; you accept the terms of this Privacy Agreement.

1. Notification of Changes
   We may update this Privacy Agreement from time to time as our services change and expand. If we update this Privacy Agreement, we will post the updated Agreement on this page. Unless otherwise provided below, the revised terms will take effect when they are posted. Once any changes that we make to this Privacy Agreement become effective, your continued use of the Site after such time will signify your acceptance of the new terms. If we are going to use your Personally Identifiable Information, as defined below, in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, we will notify you via email. You will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this different manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our web site notifying users of the change. In some cases when we post the notice we will also email users who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
2. This Site contains links to other sites
   SS is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any other web sites to which the site links or to which link to the site. By clicking on a link, logo or other item, please note that you may no longer be on the SS site. To check what Internet location you are on, note the URL at the top and/or bottom of your browser. We encourage you to read the posted privacy statement of that web site whenever interacting with any site.
3. Information We Gather Registration
   If you register to buy services using SS, we collect and store information that specifically identifies you or your account ("Personally Identifiable Information"). At this time, the most information you would be required to submit is information about your first name, last name, password, street address, city, state, zip/postal code, country, and email address as well as information pertaining to the equipment to be serviced. Clients wishing to pay for various fees or service retainers via credit card are also required to enter a valid credit card number and name as it appears on the credit card. Other information requested on our registration page, including the ability to receive promotional offers from SS, is optional. We may, in the future, include other optional requests for information from you, to help us to tailor the site for you and deliver personalized information to you. We may supplement our information with additional information purchased from third parties for marketing purposes. Credit card information will be transmitted via SSL encryption for your protection.
4. Online Surveys and Contests
   Occasionally SS conducts an online user survey to collect information about our users' preferences. These surveys are optional and if you choose to respond, your responses will be kept anonymous. Similarly, we may offer contests to qualifying Users in which we ask for contact and demographic information such as name, email address and mailing address. None of this information is shared with third parties, except in summary form, if at all. The demographic information that SS collects in the registration process and through online surveys is used to help us improve our services to meet the needs and preferences of our users. This may include targeting advertising to you about our services. Information we gather through a contest may also be disclosed to third parties as necessary for prize fulfillment and other aspects of any contest or similar offering.
5. Automatically Gathered Information
   SS automatically collects your browser type and browser software version to tailor the presentation of the services to your platform and to maintain a record of your activity on the site. SS uses cookies to enable users to specify unique preferences and to track user trends and patterns. Users always have the option of disabling cookies via their browser preferences. If you disable cookies on your browser, please note that some parts of our site may not function as effectively or may be considerably slower. As an automatic process, our web server software records a log file of IP addresses that access the Site. We also collect IP address information but do not ordinarily link IP addresses to Users' Personally Identifiable Information. However, we can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we, in our sole discretion, determine that it is necessary to enforce compliance with our various policies or to protect our service, site, customers or others.
6. How We Use Registration Information
   We use Personally Identifiable Information for our own internal purposes including contacting you via email to inform you about updates to our services and providing you with information relating to e-commerce transactions that you conduct on the site. We reserve the right to disclose your information as required by law. We do not rent or sell our Users Personally Identifiable Information to third parties. We do, however, provide you with the opportunity to receive communications via email. If you decide to opt-in to receive newsletters, you may opt out of receiving these newsletters at any time by modifying your on-line information or sending a message to unsubscribe@ssomsystems.com
7. Use of General Data
   SS reserves the right to use the general data it obtains from the use of the system, including all statistical information. You acknowledge that such data belongs to SS and that SS shall have the right to use such data as it determines in its sole discretion.
8. Advertising
   We may send you email communications including information that we may think may be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving these email communications either when you register to become a Member, via the Preferences section of your profile, or by sending a message to unsubscribe@ssomsystems. We do not send any of your Personally Identifiable Information to our advertisers. You may see a cookie from a third-party banner server, and this cookie comes from the third-party banner server, not SS. Again, we do not pass along any Personally Identifiable Information to this party.
9. Co-Branded Services
   SS enters into co-branding relationships with third-party web sites and companies to provide products and services to our users. SS may share your Personally Identifiable Information, including User ID and password, with certain co-branded third-party service or product providers as required to provide a specific product or service that You request from a co-branded page or co-branded site. However, these third-party partners may not use this Personally Identifiable Information for any reason other than to provide the service or product that the user has explicitly signed up for. If you join SS through a co-branded site (e.g. on a co-branded registration page), it is SS’s general policy not to share anything other than summarized or aggregated data with the partner; however, any Personally Identifiable Information you provide may also be received by the co-branded site and could be stored and used by the co-branded service or product provider according to their privacy policy. Please take the time to review these third-party privacy policies.
10. Third Party Intermediaries
    We use an outside credit card processing company to bill Users for services. We believe these companies do not retain, share, store, or use personally identifiable
11. Security
    We will use commercially reasonable methods to keep Personally Identifiable Information securely in our files and systems. Our Payment System is operated using secure Internet connections, using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption, to help protect your financial data. Please note that with current technology, we cannot guarantee the security of your data as it travels over the Internet.
12. Terminating Your Membership
    We save your Personally Identifiable Information until your membership with us is terminated. To terminate membership, contact SS Customer Service as indicated on our contact page. If you terminate your membership, your Personally Identifiable Information cannot be recovered and you may continue to receive email communications for a short period of time until we have updated all of our databases. After termination of your membership, your Personally Identifiable Information may remain on our archived database and records for a reasonable time as residual information. We will not use this residual information. Notwithstanding the above, we will maintain information on Users who have been removed for violating any of our agreements.
13. Legal Disclaimer
    Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process.
