ionDesk.com is committed to protecting your privacy online. You are important
to us, so we take special care to maintain your trust. In order to fully
understand your rights, we encourage you to read this Privacy Statement. The
following Privacy Statement is provided to help you understand how your personal
information will be treated as you visit our Web site and use our services. This
policy may change from time to time so please check back periodically.
When does ionDesk.com collect my personally identifiable information?
- ionDesk.com gathers information from users and visitors primarily in four
ways: voluntary registration, uploading content or Desktop-specific software
applications ("Applications"), cookie technology and IP addresses. Wherever we
collect personal information, we make an effort to include a link to this
Privacy Statement on that page.
- Registration. When you register as a user of ionDesk.com, we collect
information which helps us to identify you. The more information you provide,
the better we are able to customize our services and your experience to suit
your needs and preferences. At the initial registration screen we ask for your
name, a user name, password and email address. Other specific services available
through our site may have additional registration requirements and may require
you to provide additional information. For example, at your option you may
choose to use our automatic login service, where you would instruct and
authorize us to submit your name and password to other sites for which you are
registered so that you are no longer required to manually enter them. If you
elect to use our Auto Login Service, we will need you to provide the appropriate
name and password for an individual site. On occasion, we may also collect
additional personal information if you choose to participate in a promotion or
complete a survey form.
- Uploading Content. ionDesk.com will not collect any personal information from
private files you store on the service. Our users may upload or post content and
Applications onto ionDesk.com's site to share them with other users of our
service.
IP Address. An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer
automatically when you use the Internet. When you visit a particular Web page in
the ionDesk.com Web site, our servers log your IP address. We may log IP
addresses for the purposes of systems administration or to report information in
aggregate form to our advertisers (e.g., how many visitors logged in to our Web
site). We also use IP addresses to monitor user traffic patterns and site usage
to help us further develop and improve our Web site and our services. We do not
link your IP address to anything personally identifiable about you.
How is my personal information used?
- Customized User Experience. ionDesk.com gathers user information to provide
you with a personalized user experience. We review our users' preferences,
demographics, traffic patterns, and other information in the aggregate so that
we can better understand who our users are and what features and services they
want.
- Communication. ionDesk.com will also use your e-mail address, with your
permission, to send you various forms of communication. For example, when
someone shares a file with you, they may elect to have an email automatically
sent to notify you. ionDesk.com will notify its users of any important
information related to the overall functioning of the service. ionDesk.com
will also periodically send emails to inform users of valuable new features on
the service. Users may choose to opt-out of this feature when registering..
- Other services. ionDesk.com collects some information in specific applications
or interactions within ionDesk.com. These include:
- Recommend-it. The Recommend-it application allows you to send a quick message to
a friend or colleague about ionDesk.com. The e-mail address you supply for
this friend or colleague will only be used in this one instance - it is not
saved in any database and no further communication will be sent from
ionDesk.com
- Feedback Form. The information in the feedback form is requested to assist us in
identifying opportunities to improve the service. It also provides context for
any type of feedback you may provide. In most instances, a customer service
representative will contact you with thanks or answers to any questions you may
pose, which is why the e-mail address is required. This information is not used
in any other manner.
- Survey. This information is gathered to help us improve our service. The e-mail
address here is not required; please provide it only if you are interested in
being contacted and in potentially serving as a customer reference. The survey
information is only analyzed in aggregate and is not connected to any other
individual information.
Who does ionDesk.com share information with?
We may share user information in order to
provide you with a more integrated and customized user experience within our
site. In general, we will not disclose your personally identifiable information
to third parties except to the extent necessary to provide you with a service
you have explicitly requested (such as the Auto Login Service), or under
circumstances required by law. We will disclose your personally identifiable
information when we believe in good faith that any applicable law, regulation,
or legal process requires it, or where we believe disclosure is necessary to
protect or enforce our rights or the rights of another user. We also disclose
aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services and reach to
prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties. However aggregate
data is not traceable to you specifically.
Specific uses of personal information that
vary from this Privacy Statement (if any) may be found in the privacy policies
applicable to that particular service. To the extent that you are notified of
uses of your personally identifiable information which are different from those
described in this Privacy Statement during your enrollment in any particular
service or promotion, the uses of which you are specifically notified will
govern that service or promotion. Please be on the look-out for terms of service
and privacy statements applicable to the services for which you sign-up or
participate in. Please be aware, however, that we do not control the privacy
policies of our advertisers and other third party sites to which we provide
banner ads and links. If you click-through a banner ad or link and submit your
information to an advertiser, you will be subject to their own privacy policies.
We assume no responsibility or liability for these third party policies or the
actions of non-affiliated third parties.
How does ionDesk.com ensure the security of my personal information?
Your individual accounts are protected by a
PIN number, name and password. We strongly recommend you memorize this
information and not write it down anywhere. As an added level of protection for
you, we do not have access to your password at ionDesk.com. Only a small set
of our team at ionDesk.com has access to our servers, which are protected by
passwords that are changed regularly. All employees are legally bound from
sharing any sensitive material and regularly notified of this primary
obligation.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the
Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to
protect your personal information, ionDesk.com cannot ensure or warrant the
security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or
services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we
make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. This includes
constant monitoring of our servers and regular security reviews.
What is ionDesk.com's policy on allowing me
to update, correct, or delete my personally identifiable information?
You may edit your ionDesk.com Account
Information by contacting ionDesk.com Customer Service. You may edit your
public ionDesk.com Profile by using your ionDesk.com username and password
to access your account.
Your ionDesk.com account can be deleted or
deactivated, but doing so will result in not being able to access any portion of
the ionDesk.com service, including information you may have saved there.
Please contact support@ionDesk.com for further instructions about deleting or
deactivating your ionDesk.com account. Residual information with breaches are
noted and analyzed on a case by case basis.
What else should I know about my privacy?
You should be aware that if you voluntarily
disclose personal information online in a public area, that information may be
collected and used by others. We do not control the actions of our visitors or
our users. If you disclose personal information in any content or Applications
uploaded or posted by you, or in a chat session, bulletin board, or any other
publicly accessible place in the ionDesk.com site, you do so at your own risk
and you understand that your submitted information may be collected and used by
others to send you unsolicited messages, advertisements, or for other purposes.
Please note that we do not control the privacy
policies of our merchant partners, advertisers or other third party sites to
which we provide banner ads and links. We assume no responsibility or liability
for these third party policies or the actions of non-affiliated third parties.
Please remember that protection of your
privacy begins with you. You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy
of any password you use to register, and you should always exercise caution
whenever disclosing information online. ionDesk.com will never ask you for
your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. Also
remember to sign out of your ionDesk.com account and close your browser window
when you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access
your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with
someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or
Internet cafe.
