Net Friends Inc. (“Net Friends”, “we”, “our”, and “us”) believes privacy is paramount and understands and cares about your privacy and your right to your information. We strive to be stewards of your information, just as you would do with your information.
This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) applies to personal information collected through the Net Friends website, online services, and web pages that post, reference, and incorporate this Policy (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “Site”), whether accessed via computer, mobile device or other device (collectively, “Device”).
Your privacy matters to us, thus Net Friends has some basic principles:
If you have questions about deleting or correcting your personal data, please contact our team at requests@netfriends.com
You hereby agree with and consent to the collection and processing of your personal information as described in this Policy.
You have the right, at any time, to withdraw your consent to Net Friends’ collection and processing of your information. You may withdraw your consent by contacting us at requests@netfriends.com
Net Friends understands that some individuals have special privacy concerns around information transmitted or collected over the Internet or through web sites. This Policy also describes how you can reach us to update your personal information, access and control the use of the personal information, or get answers to questions you may have about our privacy practices. Please read this Policy carefully, because by accessing and using this Site you are acknowledging that you understand and agree to the terms of this Policy.
Net Friends uses reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures designed to protect your personal information under our control, although “perfect security” does not exist on the Internet. Online, we guard the privacy and confidentiality of your personally identifiable information with audited safeguards. We do not currently collect any sensitive information, such as credit card numbers or social security numbers. This Policy will be updated to reflect any changes, should they arise.
As you interact with Net Friends via the Site, there may be opportunities for you to provide us with your information. Additionally, we may collect certain information about you as further described below.
The types of information that Net Friends collects about you may include, but are not limited to:
To gauge the effectiveness of the Site, we do collect some non-individually-identifiable generic information about our visitors. Our web servers automatically recognize a visitor’s Internet service provider, the IP address, the domain name, the type of browser, the operating system, which pages are viewed on the Site, the web page a visitor was on when they linked to the Site, how much time is spent on each page, and other information related to the operation and interaction of the Site. This information does not reveal a visitor’s identity. We aggregate this information and use it to evaluate and improve the Site.
Identifiable Information – You can choose to provide individually-identifiable information to Net Friends in a number of ways. When visitors supply information about themselves for a specific purpose, Net Friends uses the information for that purpose (such as to provide the information the visitor has requested or to consider a visitor for a particular job). In addition, when visitors use the Site to request information about our services, we may use the individually-identifiable information as we would use the same information obtained online – for example, to evaluate your service needs and contact you regarding additional services you may find useful.
Net Friends will not ever sell, trade, or disclose to third parties any individually identifiable information derived from the use of Net Friends Site – including customer names and addresses (except as required by subpoena, search warrant, or other legal process or in the case of imminent physical harm to the customer or others).
Net Friends collects, discloses, and uses your personal information:
In addition, we use and disclose personal information collected through this Site as we believe to be necessary or appropriate: (a) as permitted by applicable law, including laws outside your country of residence; (b) to respond to requests from public and government authorities, including public and government authorities outside your country of residence; (c) to enforce our Terms of Use; (d) to protect our operations or those of any of our affiliates; (e) to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, and/or that of our affiliates, you, or others; and (f) to allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.
This Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information, or other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any site or web property that is available through this Site or to which this Site contains a link. The Site may contain hyperlinks to other web sites. When you click onto one of these hyperlinks, and leave the Site, you are moving to another web site that we do not control. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of these linked web sites, as their privacy policy may differ from ours and we cannot take any responsibility for the content or policies adopted by other web sites. The availability of any third party site, or the inclusion of a link to any third party site, on this Site does not imply endorsement of it by us or by our affiliates.
Most of the personal information Net Friends collects about you is collected directly from you, such as when you (1) submit your personal information to receive product updates and marketing information, (2) contact us via the online “Contact” portal on the Site, (3) send e-mail messages or feedback, or transmit other information by e-mail, and (4) apply for a job. To elect to engage in such activities, we may ask that you provide us personal information.
As you navigate around this Site, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without you actively providing the information), using various technologies. We passively collect and use information in a variety of ways, including:
Although most changes are likely to be minor, Net Friends may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and at Net Friends sole discretion. Net Friends encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
If Net Friends, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Net Friends goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Net Friends may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
You have a right to (1) access, modify, correct, or delete your personal information controlled by Net Friends. You can request your personal information that is not readily accessible to you (for example, your IP access logs) by emailing us at request@netfriends.com.
We retain the personal information you provide while your account is in existence or as needed to provide you services. We may retain your personal information even after you have closed your account if retention is reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations, meet regulatory requirements, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce this Privacy Policy. We may retain personal information, for a limited period of time, if requested by law enforcement.
Net Friends may use email to communicate with customers or prospective customers about events or new products and services or to respond to visitor’s emails. If you receive unwanted email from us you may also remove yourself from our email list by simply following the “unsubscribe” instructions in the email.
We do not intentionally collect information from individuals under the age of 18. The Site is not directed to individuals under the age of 18 and we request that these individuals not provide personal information through this Site.
While this Policy applies to personal information generally, the local laws, rules and regulations of jurisdictions that are applicable to Net Friends (“Local Laws”) may require standards which are stricter than this Policy and, in such event, Net Friends will comply with applicable Local Laws. Specific privacy policies may be adopted to address the specific privacy requirements of particular jurisdictions.
Net Friends is committed to the security of your information, and has in place physical, administrative and technical measures designed to prevent unauthorized access to that information.
These security policies cover the management of security for both its internal operations as well as services provided. These policies, which are aligned with the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and SOC2 Type2 standards, govern all areas of security applicable to services and apply to all Net Friends employees.
Net Friends employees are required to maintain the confidentiality of services data. Employees’ obligations include written confidentiality agreements, regular training on information protection, and compliance with company policies concerning protection of confidential information.
Net Friends promptly evaluates and responds to incidents that create suspicions of unauthorized handling of services data. Net Friends Management is informed of such incidents and, depending on the nature of the activity, define escalation paths and response teams to address the incidents. If Net Friends determines that your services data has been misappropriated (including by an Net Friends employee) or otherwise wrongly acquired by a third party, we will promptly report such misappropriation or acquisition to you.
We hope that we can resolve any query or concern you raise about our use of your information. To contact, please use requests@netfriends.com
