Quantos
Software Privacy Statement |
Updated November 13, 2005
Our Commitment To Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this
notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make
about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy
to find, we make it available on our home page and at every point where
personally identifiable information may be requested.
This notice applies to all information collected from or submitted to the
following Quantos Software Web sites, but to make this notice easier to read we
will use the term "our Web site", which means fedcalc.com, a Quantos
Software LLC created private label website for a financial advisor, or
fedbens.com.
Our
Web site contains links to other Web sites operated by third parties. Quantos
is not responsible for the privacy practices or policies of such third party
web sites and this Notice does not apply to those Web sites.
Application of This Notice
This Notice applies only to the information collected by Quantos Software from
the users of our Web site or a private label site created by Quantos. It does
not apply to information collected by Quantos in any other way, including
offline.
The Information We Collect
Our Web site is not set up to automatically collect personally identifiable
information from each visitor to our Web site. It does recognize the home
server of visitors, but not email addresses. For example, we can tell which
Internet Service Provider our visitors use, but not the names, addresses or
other information about our visitors that would allow us to identify the
particular visitors to our Web site. This information is used only for internal
purposes by our technical support staff.
Our Web site does track certain information about the visits to our Web site.
For example, we compile statistics that show the numbers and frequency of
visitors to our Web site and its individual pages. These aggregated statistics
are used internally to improve our Web site and for product development and
marketing purposes generally. Those aggregated statistics may also be provided
to advertisers and other third parties, but again, the statistics contain no
personal information and cannot be used to gather such information.
In a few areas on our Web site, we ask you to provide information that will
enable us to verify whether you are entitled to access and use certain
information, materials and services available from our Web site, or to enable
us to enhance your site visit, to assist you with customer service or technical
support issues, or to follow up with you after your visit, or to otherwise
support your customer relationship with Quantos. It is completely optional for
you to participate. However, failure to participate may mean that you cannot
access and use certain information, materials and services.
For example, we request information from you when you:
Log on to certain areas of our Web site, such as the fedcalc.com® Federal Benefit Annuity
Calculator, where you may be prompted to provide us with your login ID (usually
your email address) and password as a condition to gaining access to certain
information, materials or services
Register or sign up to use a service such as fedcalc.com
Subscribe to a newsletter or desire to be added to our mailing
lists for other products or services
Place an order
Participate in a sweepstakes or other promotional offer
Provide feedback in an online survey.
In each of the instances
above, we typically ask for your name, email address, phone number, address,
Login and password, as well as other similar personal information that is
needed to register or subscribe you to services or offers. On occasion, we may
ask for additional information to enable us to provide you with access to and
use of certain information, materials and services. In the case of newsletters
or mailing lists, you will be able to "unsubscribe" to these mailings
at any time.
How We Use Information: Quantos Only Uses Your Personal
Information for Specific Purposes
The
personal information you provide to us when using our Web site, such as your
name, postal or email address or telephone number will be kept confidential and
used to support your customer relationship with Quantos, and to notify you of
special offers, updated information and new products and services from Quantos,
offers from third parties that we think may be of interest to you, or used by
Quantos or third parties for the purpose of conducting market research or
surveys. Agents or contractors of Quantos who are given access to your personal
information will be required to keep the information confidential and not use
it for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing per
their contract with Quantos.
Quantos may enhance or merge your information collected at its Web site with
data from third parties for purposes of marketing products or services to you
directly or via a third party.
With respect to network advertising companies (companies that manage and
provide advertising for numerous unrelated companies), to the extent that
Quantos utilizes such advertising companies to provide advertisements on our
Web site, Quantos may provide them with your log-in name and any demographic
information about you that we collect. Those advertising companies may combine
that data with non-personally identifiable data collected by the advertising
company from your computer solely for the purpose of delivering on our Web site
advertisements that are targeted to you.
Circumstances may arise where we are required to disclose your personal
information to third parties for purposes other than to support your customer
relationship with Quantos, such as in connection with a corporate divestiture
or dissolution where we sell all or a portion of our business or assets
(including our associated customer lists containing your personal information),
or if disclosure is required by law or is pertinent to judicial or governmental
investigations or proceedings.
You Can Opt Out of Receiving Further Marketing from Quantos at Any
Time
We, or select third parties, may contact you regarding various products and
services that may be of interest to you.
If you do not wish to be contacted, simply tell us when you give us your
personal information. Or, at any time you can easily opt out of receiving
further marketing from QUANTOS by emailing us at sales@quantos.com.
Our Commitment to Data Security
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct
use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and
managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect
online.
