IT Blocks is committed to protecting your privacy. Please read
the IT Blocks Online Privacy Statement below.
This IT Blocks Online Privacy Statement applies to data collected
by IT Blocks through its web sites and services. It does not apply to those IT
Blocks sites, services and products that do not display or link to this
statement or that have their own privacy statements.
Collection of Your Personal Information
In order to access some IT Blocks services, you will be asked to
sign in with a username and password, which we refer to as your credentials. By
signing in on one IT Blocks site or service, you may be automatically signed
into other IT Blocks sites and services. As part of creating your credentials,
you may also be requested to provide questions and secret answers, which we use
to help verify your identity and assist in resetting your password, as well as
an alternate email address.
At some IT Blocks sites, we ask you to provide personal
information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or
telephone number. We may also collect demographic information, such as your ZIP
code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites. If you choose to make a
purchase or sign up for a paid subscription service, we will ask for additional
information, such as your credit card number and billing address, that is used
to create a IT Blocks billing account.
We may collect information about your visit, including the pages
you view, the links you click and other actions taken in connection with IT
Blocks sites and services. We also collect certain standard information that
your browser sends to every website you visit, such as your IP address, browser
type and language, access times and referring Web site addresses.
When you receive newsletters or promotional e-mail from IT
Blocks, we may use web beacons (described
below), customized links or similar
technologies to determine whether the e-mail has been opened and which links you
click in order to provide you more focused e-mail communications or other
information.
In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized
experience in your interactions with IT Blocks, information collected through
one IT Blocks service may be combined with information obtained through other IT
Blocks services. We may also supplement the information we collect with
information obtained from other companies. For example, we may use services from
other companies that enable us to derive a general geographic area based on your
IP address in order to customize certain services to your geographic area.
Use of Your
Personal Information
IT Blocks collects and uses your personal information to operate
and improve its sites and deliver the services or carry out the transactions you
have requested. These uses may include providing you with more effective
customer service; making the sites or services easier to use by eliminating the
need for you to repeatedly enter the same information; performing research and
analysis aimed at improving our products, services and technologies; and
displaying content and advertising that are customized to your interests and
preferences.
We also use your personal information to communicate with you. We
may send certain mandatory service communications such as welcome letters,
billing reminders, information on technical service issues, and security
announcements. Some IT Blocks services may send periodic member letters that are
considered part of the service. We may also occasionally send you product
surveys or promotional mailings to inform you of other products or services
available from IT Blocks and its affiliates.
Sharing of Your
Personal Information
Except as described in this statement, we will not disclose your
personal information outside of IT Blocks and its controlled subsidiaries and
affiliates without your consent. Some IT Blocks sites allow you to choose to
share your personal information with select IT Blocks partners so that they can
contact you about their products, services or offers. Other sites do not share
your contact information with third parties for marketing purposes, but instead
may give you a choice as to whether you wish to receive communications from IT
Blocks on behalf of external business partners about a partner's particular
offering (without transferring your personal information to the third party).
See the
Communication Preferences section below
for more information.
Some IT Blocks services may be co-branded and offered in
conjunction with another company. If you register for or use such services, both
IT Blocks and the other company may receive information collected in conjunction
with the co-branded services.
We may access and/or disclose your personal information if we
believe such action is necessary to: (a) comply with the law or legal process
served on IT Blocks; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of IT Blocks
(including the enforcement of our agreements); or (c) act in urgent
circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of IT Blocks services or
members of the public.
Accessing Your
Personal Information
You may have the ability to view or edit your personal
information online. In order to help prevent your personal information from
being viewed by others, you will be required to sign in with your credentials.
The appropriate method(s) for accessing your personal information will depend on
which sites or services you have used.
Communication Preferences
You can stop the delivery of future promotional e-mail from IT
Blocks sites and services by following the specific instructions in the e-mail
you receive or by replying any email communication to
with “Please Remove My Email From Future
Communications” in the subject or body of the email.
You may also have the option of proactively making choices about
the communications you receive from particular IT Blocks sites or services by
indicating the communication methods most appropriate to you when filling out
the IT Blocks registration form.
These communication choices do not apply to mandatory service
communications that are considered part of certain IT Blocks services, which you
may receive periodically unless you cancel the service.
Security of Your Personal Information
IT Blocks is committed to protecting the security of your
personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures
to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or
disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide on
computer systems with limited access, which are located in controlled
facilities. When we transmit highly confidential information (such as a credit
card number or password) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of
encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
If a password is used to help protect your accounts and personal
information, it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. Do
not share this information with anyone. If you are sharing a computer with
anyone you should always choose to log out before leaving a site or service to
protect access to your information from subsequent users.
Use of Cookies
IT Blocks Web sites use "cookies" to enable you to sign in to our
services and to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a small
text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies contain
information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the
cookie to you. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your
computer.
IT Blocks Web sites use cookies to store your preferences and
other information on your computer in order to save you time by eliminating the
need to repeatedly enter the same information and to display your personalized
content and appropriate advertising on your later visits to these sites.
When you sign in to a site using your credentials an encrypted
cookie is placed on your hard disk. This cookie allows you to move from page to
page at the site without having to sign in again on each page. When you sign
out, these cookies are deleted from your computer. Cookies are also used to
improve the sign in experience. For example, your e-mail address may be stored
in a cookie that will remain on your computer after you sign out. This cookie
allows your e-mail address to be pre-populated, so that you will only need to
type your password the next time you sign in. If you are using a public computer
or do not otherwise want this information to be stored, you can select the
appropriate radio button on the sign-in page, and this cookie will not be used.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web
browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you
may not be able to sign in or use other interactive features of IT Blocks sites
and services that depend on cookies.
Use of Web Beacons
IT Blocks Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web
beacons - sometimes called single-pixel gifs - that may be used to assist in
delivering cookies on our sites and allow us to count users who have visited
those pages and to deliver co-branded services. We may include Web beacons in
promotional e-mail messages or our newsletters in order to determine whether
messages have been opened and acted upon.
IT Blocks may also employ Web beacons from third parties in order
to help us compile aggregated statistics and determine the effectiveness of our
promotional campaigns. We prohibit Web beacons on our sites from being used by
third parties to collect or access your personal information.
Controlling "Spam" or Unsolicited E-mail
IT Blocks is concerned about controlling unsolicited commercial
e-mail, or "spam." IT Blocks will not sell, lease or rent its e-mail subscriber
lists to third parties. While IT Blocks continues to actively review and
implement new technology, such as expanded filtering features, there is no
currently available technology that will totally prevent the sending and
receiving of unsolicited e-mail. Using tools such as the Inbox Protector and
being cautious about the sharing of your e-mail address while online will help
reduce the amount of unsolicited e-mail you receive.
Changes to This
Privacy Statement
We will occasionally update this privacy statement to reflect
changes in our services and customer feedback. When we post changes to this
Statement, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this statement.
If there are material changes to this statement or in how IT Blocks will use
your personal information, we will notify you either by prominently posting a
notice of such changes prior to implementing the change or by directly sending
you a notification. We encourage you to periodically review this statement to be
informed of how IT Blocks is protecting your information.
