| Callforeign
Ltd and its affiliates (hereinafter referred to as "Callforeign")
acknowledge the importance of protecting the privacy
of personal information provided by our users, and Callforeign
is deeply committed to privacy protection. This Privacy
Policy describes our information collection and use
practices and the privacy of information we receive
from you. If we change our Privacy Policy, we will post
the changes on this page, and may place notices on other
pages of the web site so that you may be aware of the
change. Your continued use of our services will signify
your consent to our use of your information. If you
do not agree, you can contact us to discuss the policy,
stop use or deregister.
Callforeign does not target services to individuals
less than age 13. Individuals less than 13 years of
age are not eligible to register or initiate our services.
INFORMATION COLLECTED
1. Personally Identifiable Information
Registration Information
In order to provide service to you, Callforeign collects
your name, address (including postal code/zip code for
Canada and the US), email address, and age. If you choose
not to register or provide such personal information,
you can still visit most of Callforeign's web site.
However, you will not have access to areas that require
personal identification and will not be able to initiate
our services.
Demographic Information
Callforeign collects demographic information from you
such as gender, occupation, and your areas of interest.
This information helps us tailor material to your interests.
The registration information and
certain demographic information is personally identifiable
information ("PII"). We never sell or rent
PII to third parties. We do not disclose your PII to
third persons, except (1) your IP address always accompanies
your email or telephone call, (2) as required by law,
valid subpoena, or to comply with law or enforce a legal
right, (3) if you expressly authorise us to disclose
your PII, or (4) under strict obligations of confidentiality
and limitations on use, as when Callforeign uses a third
party to accomplish a task on Callforeign’s behalf
(e.g. Callforeign may send you an email by using a third
party whose business is transmitting such emails; the
third party is not allowed to provide your PII to anyone
else or use your PII for any other purpose).
We use PII to provide you with (1)
information about Callforeign products, services, and
updates, and (2) other information that may be of interest
to you. We provide such information to you by email,
telephone contact or post. If you would like to stop
receiving any or all of this information, you may do
so at any time via email request.
If you purchase a Callforeign prepaid
account and pay using a credit card, we collect your
credit card information, which is used for processing
payments only and not for any other purpose.
Third Party Information
If you originate a telephone call or send an email message
to a third party, you give us the third party's contact
information, such as telephone number or email address.
We complete the call but do not retain that person's
information to contact them later to solicit them to
join our service or for other purposes. Callforeign
has a program where we solicit the names and addresses
of people who may be interested in our services. We
use the information received under that program to send
potential users email invitations to join our service.
2. Aggregate Information
Callforeign collects aggregate information
about use of our web site, using surveys, cookies, and
data-mining technologies. We track such information
as the number of visitors, duration of visits, how our
site is navigated, and the kinds of browsers that visit
our site. Information on web site usage is anonymous
information rather than PII.
We also collect information on use
of our services. While you are making a call, we track
the duration of the call and keep records of that. We
also keep information on where a call originates and
where it terminates. We do this for billing purposes
and for recordkeeping as required by law.
We use aggregate information to understand our business
better so we can upgrade our infrastructure in accordance
with user needs.
3. Profiles
One of the ways we pay for the services
we provide is by serving advertisements while you use
our services. We use all of the information available
to us to create profiles of our user base. Some of the
information helps create a profile of an individual
user, while other information helps create a profile
of our users in aggregate. We may provide this aggregate
profile information (not PII) to advertisers. For example,
we may inform advertisers that we have a certain number
of registered users who have an interest in a topic
and are interested in receiving information about the
topic. This helps to tailor information from advertisers
to your interests.
WHO COLLECTS INFORMATION?
Callforeign collects registration
information and demographic information from you, as
described above. Callforeign also collects aggregate
information.
Cookies
Our web site sets "cookies" to help deliver
content specific to your interests, to customise our
web site for you, and to save your password and member
name so that you don't have to enter it each time you
visit. Cookies are text files that are stored on your
personal computer (“PC”) and that allow
web sites to identify you. Cookies help us target advertising
and other information to your interests and prevent
duplication of ads served to your browser. If you do
not want cookies to be stored on your PC, web browsers
such as Netscape and Internet Explorer provide the option
to disable them. Please bear in mind that some personalised
services on our web site may be impacted if you choose
to disable cookies.
PROTECTION OF YOUR DETAILS
When you register for our services, purchase our services,
or access account details, we use a secure server. Any
data you give us is encrypted using a “Secure
Socket Layer” (SSL) session. SSL is an industry
standard and is one of the best ways to ensure Internet
messages are not intercepted. You should be aware, however,
that older browsers cannot use SSL. To be sure, you
will need Netscape version 6.1 or Internet Explorer
browsers version 5.0 or above.
Over and above what we do to safeguard
your privacy and security, there are a number of things
you can do to protect yourself from Internet fraud:
I. choose a password you can remember
but others will not guess, change it regularly, and
if you do write it down, keep it somewhere safe and
secure.
II. When you have finished your session on our web site,
make sure that you prevent your details being seen by
anyone that you do not wish to see them. So, if you
have registered and logged in, remember to log off.
Clear any “cache” so there is no record
of any transactions left on screen – both Netscape
and Internet Explorer let you do this. We recommend
you then close your browser so any history of the session
is cleared. As an extra precaution your session on many
areas of our web sites will terminate if you have not
used the site for 20 minutes.
UPDATING YOUR DETAILS
If you want to change any of the information that you
have provided to us, such as your email address or name,
or if you wish to cancel your registration, you may
send us am email request. We periodically correct PII
that our users indicate is incorrect.
SECURITY OF THE INTERNET
Public Forums
Our site may contain, from time to time, public forums
available to users. Please remember that any information
you disclose in these areas becomes public information.
You should take appropriate measures to protect your
personally identifiable information.
Co-Branded Sites
We sometimes enter arrangements with third parties whereby
we make available our services through their web sites
with a co-branded page that we host and serve. In some
such cases, users may register for our service as well
as that of the co-branded party. We use your PII and
other general information in compliance with our Privacy
Policy. Our co-branding partners have their own privacy
policy, which you should review since we do not have
control over their privacy policies.
Links to Other Web Sites
Our site may contain, from time to time, links to other
web sites. Please note that Callforeign is not responsible
for the privacy practices or the content of such web
sites or of any third party. You should review the privacy
policies of such web sites when you visit them.
General
The Internet is not a secure medium, so be aware that
communications over it are subject to third-party interception
and eavesdropping.
YOUR CONSENT
By submitting your information, you consent to the use
of that information and other information we collect
as set out in this Policy. If we change our Privacy
Policy, we will post the changes on this page, and may
place notices on other parts of the web site so that
you may become aware of the information we collect and
how we use it. Your continued use of our services will
signify your consent to the changes and to our use of
your information.
