PRIVACY POLICY
(Last Updated July 7th, 2005)
Celluline ("Celluline," "we," "us" or "our") operates a Web site located at
www.Celluline.ca and www.ntcenter.ca (the "Site") from which users can
gather information concerning news and services provided by Celluline (the
"Celluline Services"). This Celluline Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") covers
our treatment of personally identifiable information that we collect when you
access the Site and when you use the Celluline Services.
Information Collection and Use
Celluline receives a variety of "personally identifiable information," including
your email address, IP address, and message content. Celluline.ca and
ntcenter.ca also collects names and mailing addresses (including street, city,
state, and zip code) from users providing the information. We use this
personally identifiable information as follows:
-
We collect your email
address when you register with Celluline to report a problem, register for
Celluline membership or register for our newsletter.
-
Celluline also requires
that you provide your email address on the
contact us section of the Site so
that we are able to respond to your question(s) by email. You have the
option of also providing information regarding your name, demographics (such
as your state and country of residency), operating system, browser, Internet
service provider ("ISP"), connection type and email program that you are
using.
-
Celluline.ca and
and
ntcenter.ca also
automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your
browser, including your IP Address and the page you requested. Your IP
address is not linked to your email address or Celluline.
Celluline.ca and ntcenter.ca uses your email address for the following purposes:
-
to contact you about
the Celluline.ca
and
ntcenter.ca
Services or the Site.
-
to notify you when you
receive a Celluline.ca
and
ntcenter.ca
email message.
-
to communicate with you
concerning problems or malfunctions you report.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Celluline.ca will not sell or rent your email address, name, mailing address, or
other supplied information to anyone. Celluline.ca and ntcenter.ca will not
share your email address, first or last name, mailing address, or other received
information to anyone, except as stated below:
We may
disclose personally identifiable information about you as legally required in
order for us to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes.
IP
Addresses
When
your Web browser or email application requests a Web page from another computer
on the Internet, it automatically gives that computer the address where the
requested information should be sent. This is called your computer's "IP
address." (IP stands for "Internet protocol.") For most users accessing the
Internet from a dial-up ISP, the IP address may be different every time you log
on.
Information Collection and Use Practices
Celluline receives your IP address each time you view a Web page from the Site.
Your IP address is not linked to your email address or any other personally
identifiable information.
Your IP
address may be used
to estimate
the total number of users visiting the Site from specific locales, countries or
regions of the world.
Log Files
When a
Web page on the Site is requested, that request (including the date and time) is
logged on our servers with information including the IP address of the computer
that requested the page.
We use
log files for debugging and troubleshooting purposes. IP addresses and access
times are not linked to your email address or any other personally identifiable
information.
Cookies
If you
request certain services from us, Celluline may then attempt to set cookies on
your computer and later access those cookies. You can normally refuse cookies by
setting preferences in your browser. You do not need to accept cookies in order
to use the Celluline Services.
A cookie
is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent
to your browser from a Web site's computers and then stored on your computer's
hard drive. A cookie cannot obtain information from your hard drive, destroy
files, or transmit viruses.
Each Web
site can send its own cookie to your browser, if your browser's preferences
allow it. To protect your privacy, your browser normally only permits a Web site
to access cookies that it has previously sent to you, but not the cookies sent
to you by other sites.
Choices About Cookies
-
You can normally
configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify
you when a cookie is set. (Each browser is different, so check the "Help"
menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.)
-
If you reject all
cookies, you will still be able to use the Celluline Services.
-
Cookies are used only
as an option selected by you that allows us to recall your email address
from the cookie that we sent to your computer.
Links To Other Web Sites From Our Site
The Site
may contain: (1) links to other Web sites; or (2) banner ads provided by other
Web sites. In the event that a banner ad is provided by a third-party
advertiser, it is possible that the third-party advertiser may attempt to store
a cookie on your computer's hard drive. For information on your browser
preference options, see "Choices about Cookies" above.
Advertisers' use of cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not the
Celluline.ca and ntcenter.ca Privacy Policy. Celluline is not responsible for
the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to check the privacy
policies of these sites before disclosing any personal information. The
Celluline Privacy Policy applies solely to information received by or sent by
the Site.
Data Storage
User Information

All Celluline account
information (including names, mailing addresses) and content of email
messages are stored on multiple redundant disk storage systems. No removable
offline copies or backups are made.
-
If you request deletion
of your email address or any other identifiable information, your
information will be deactivated and removed from our user registration
database within 15 days.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
Celluline may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any
substantial changes in the way we use your personal information, we will notify
you by posting a prominent announcement on the Site.
