Security and Privacy
TeeMailer's web site uses
security measures to protect
against the loss, misuse,
and alteration of the
information under our
control. We store the
information in a database in
a secure environment at our
data center.
We will never share, sell,
or rent individual personal
information with anyone
without your advance
permission or unless ordered
by a court of law.
Information submitted to us
is only available to
employees managing this
information for purposes of
contacting you or sending
you e-mails based on your
requesting information
Choice Opt-in
Our members and their
subscribers are given the
opportunity to 'opt-in' to
having their information
used for purposes not
directly related to our site
at the point where we ask
for the information.
Users of our site will
always be notified if their
information is being
collected by any outside
parties. We do this to
ensure that our users can
make an informed choice as
to whether or not they
should proceed with services
that require an outside
party.
Information Tracked
At times we will use your IP
address to help diagnose
problems with our server and
to administer our web site.
We also may track browser
types to help us understand
our visitors' needs related
to our web site design.
There is an optional section
of our web site where input
forms require your name,
company, and e-mail address.
This form provides the
ability to opt-in to
receiving future emails of
any sort from TeeMailer. If
you opt-in to receiving
email communications from
us, then we may send
information to you on our
products or services.
You may review and change
your information with us at
any time by clicking on the
"modify profile" link or
similar found at the bottom
of emails sent via our
system, or by contacting us
at
privacy@TeeMailer.com
Web Beacons
In order to determine a
user’s ability to receive
HTML email in addition to
whether or not an email has
been opened, TeeMailer
includes a “web beacon” in a
majority of the HTML email
messages we send. A web
beacon (actually a small
.gif image) is activated
when an HTML email is opened
via a request for the image
on our servers.
This capability helps
TeeMailer send email in a
format users can read and
enables TeeMailer, and our
clients that use the
functionality, to track the
aggregate number of emails
opened. The web beacon does
not collect any personally
identifiable information.
Users that do not want to
receive email messages with
web beacons can choose to
receive their emails in text
(non-HTML) format.
We also use, and provide our
clients with, the capability
to track when a URL has been
clicked inside of an email
message sent by our system.
We use this functionality to
track which links were
clicked and in what
quantity, as well as the
aggregate number of links
clicked. This click tracking
functionality does not
collect any personally
identifiable information.
Cookies
Client-side cookies are used
to verify the login status
of customers using products
or services linked directly
with our website. Usage of a
cookie is in no way linked
to any personally
identifiable information
while on our site. If a user
rejects the cookie, they may
still use our site; however,
the user may not be able to
access all areas of our
site.
Links to other Websites
TeeMailer is not responsible
for the privacy practices or
the content of any other web
sites to which we link.
Notification of Changes
TeeMailer will notify its
members and users via email
if we make any changes to
our privacy policy. Any new
policy will be posted on our
site at least one week prior
to its taking effect. If at
any point we decide to use
personally identifiable
information in a manner
different from that stated
at the time it was
collected, we will notify
users by way of an email.
Users will have a choice as
to whether or not we use
their information in this
different manner.

personal information (as
defined below) it receives
from the European Union.
This notice outlines our
general policy and practices
for implementing the Safe
Harbor Principles, including
the type of information to
which this notice applies,
how we use personal
information, and the choices
individuals have regarding
our use of, and their
ability to correct, that
personal information. If
there is any conflict
between the policies in this
notice and the Safe Harbor
Principles, the Safe Harbor
Principles will govern. This
notice applies to all
personal information we
handle, including on-line
(except as noted below),
off-line, and manually
processed data. For purposes
of this notice, "personal
information" means data
that: is transferred from
the European Union to the
United States; is recorded
in any form; and is about,
or pertains to, a specific
individual who is identified
in, or is identifiable from,
the data.
"Sensitive information" is a
subcategory of personal
information. Sensitive
information is defined as
personal information
specifying medical or health
conditions, racial or ethnic
origin, political opinions,
religious or philosophical
beliefs, trade union
membership, or the sex life
of the individual. Sensitive
information also includes
personal information
received from a third party
where the third party treats
and identifies it as
sensitive.
Safe Harbor Principles
Regarding Personal
Information
Notice and Choice
We notify individuals about
the personal information we
collect from them, how we
use it, and how to contact
us with privacy concerns. We
obtain personal information
only as permitted by the
Safe Harbor Principles or
with the consent of the
individual affected. Consent
for personal information to
be collected, used, and/or
disclosed in certain ways
may be required in order for
an individual to obtain or
use our services. To the
extent permitted under the
Safe Harbor, we reserve the
right to process personal
information in the course of
providing professional
services to our clients
without the knowledge of
individuals involved.
Disclosures and Transfers
We do not disclose personal
information to third
parties, except when one or
more of the following
conditions is true:
We have the individual's
permission to make the
disclosure;
The disclosure is permitted
by law or mandatory
professional standards;
The disclosure is reasonably
related to the sale or other
disposition of all or part
of our business or assets;
The personal information to
be disclosed is publicly
available;
The party to whom the
disclosure is made controls,
is controlled by, or is
under common control with
TeeMailer;
The disclosure is reasonably
necessary for the
establishment or maintenance
of legal claims; or
The disclosure is to persons
or entities for whom we are
providing services, provided
the disclosure is consistent
with the purpose for which
the personal information was
obtained.
We will comply with the Safe
Harbor Principles with
respect to disclosures of
sensitive information,
including, when applicable,
obtaining the explicit
consent of the individual
prior to disclosing
sensitive information to a
third party or using
sensitive information for
purposes other than those
for which it was originally
collected or subsequently
authorized by the
individual. Transfers of
information permitted under
this notice, either to third
parties or within TeeMailer,
include the transfer of data
from one jurisdiction to
another, such as transfers
to and from the United
States of America.
Data Security, Integrity,
and Access
We employ physical,
electronic, and managerial
measures, including
education and training of
our personnel, designed to
provide the personal
information in our
possession with reasonable
protection from accidental
loss or destruction,
improper use, alteration, or
disclosure. Personal
information collected or
displayed through a Web site
is protected in transit by
industry standard encryption
processes. However, we
cannot guarantee the
security of personal
information accessible on or
transmitted via the
Internet.
We process personal
information in ways
compatible with the purpose
for which the personal
information was collected,
or as otherwise authorized
by the individual. To the
extent necessary for such
purposes, we take reasonable
steps to make sure that
personal information is
accurate, complete, current,
and otherwise reliable with
regard to its intended use.
If an individual becomes
aware that personal
information we maintain
about that individual is
inaccurate, or if an
individual would like to
update or review his or her
personal information, the
individual may contact us
using the contact
information below. As a
security precaution, we may
request that the individual
provide identifying
information such as name,
address, birth date, and/or
social security number. In
addition, we may limit or
deny access to personal
information where providing
such access would be
unreasonably burdensome or
expensive in the
circumstances, or as
otherwise permitted by the
Safe Harbor Agreement. In
some circumstances, we may
charge a reasonable fee,
where warranted, for access
to personal information.
Accountability and
Enforcement
We established a program to
monitor our adherence to the
Safe Harbor Principles and
to address questions and
concerns regarding our
adherence. This program will
include a statement, at
least once a year, signed by
our authorized
representative, verifying
our adherence to the Safe
Harbor Principles. We
encourage interested persons
to raise any concerns with
us using the contact
information below.
With respect to any dispute
relating to this notice that
cannot be resolved through
our internal processes, we
will cooperate with
competent European Union
data protection authorities
and comply with the advice
of such authorities. In the
event that we or such
authorities determine that
we did not comply with this
notice, we will take
appropriate steps to address
any adverse effects and to
promote future compliance.
Amendment
We may amend this notice
from time to time by posting
a revised notice on this Web
site, or a similar Web site
that replaces this Web site.
If we amend the notice, the
new notice will apply to
personal information
previously collected only
insofar as the rights of the
individual affected are not
reduced. So long as we
profess to adhere to the
Safe Harbor Principles, we
will not amend this notice
in a manner inconsistent
with the Safe Harbor
Principles.
Information Subject to Other
Policies
We are committed to
following the Safe Harbor
Principles for all personal
information, as that term is
defined herein. Other
information we receive may
be subject to policies that
may differ in some respects
from the policies set forth
in this notice. Certain of
our Web sites have their own
privacy policies that apply
specifically to those Web
sites. Those policies may be
accessed through the Web
sites in question.

present or former TeeMailer
personnel is subject to our
policies concerning
personnel data privacy,
which are available to
present and former TeeMailer
personnel upon request.
