AMERICONCEPTS
INC. PRIVACY POLICY
What Sites This Policy Covers
This privacy policy (the “Policy”) discloses our privacy practices
for http://www.Ours.com (the “Ours.com Site”), and the http://www.Americoncepts.com
(the “AmeriConcepts Site”). This Policy refers to these five Sites
collectively as “our Sites.”
I. The Information We Collect, And How We Use It
AmeriConcepts, Inc., is the sole owner of the information collected on
our Sites. Ours.com collects different kinds of information from our
users on our
Sites, and we use that information in various ways, as explained below.
A. The AmeriCocnept.com and Ours.com Sites
1. Ours.com Newsletter
We provide a low-volume email newsletter (currently averaging one to
two news announcements per month) to provide general news about Ours.com’s new
services, upgrades, and general information about our Sites and our services.
There is an online field on Ours.com’s home page that you can use
to enter your email address in order to subscribe to the newsletter.
You can
also subscribe or unsubscribe to the Newsletter when you sign up for
an Evaluation Account or place an Order for Service (as described below).
You do this by
checking a box on the relevant Evaluation Account or Order for Service
order page.
When you subscribe to the newsletter, we use your email address to provide
the newsletter to you via email. With each newsletter we provide a method
to unsubscribe from the newsletter, with a link to the Web page where
you can
enter your request to unsubscribe. You may also contact Ours.com directly
as described at the end of this Policy regarding unsubscribing from the
newsletter.
2. Evaluation Account
From time to time we at Ours.com provide a 15-day free evaluation of
our service, subject to Ours.com’s Terms and Conditions of service.
When you sign up for an Evaluation Account by filling out our online
form, you
are required
to provide information that includes contact information (such as name
and email address). We may, at times, also ask you to provide demographic
information
(such as income level and gender) or answers to survey questions (such
as how you heard about Ours.com) during this process. We do not collect
credit
card
or financial information when you sign up for an Evaluation Account.
We use contact information to communicate with you about your Evaluation
Account. We use demographic information you provide and your answers
to surveys to improve
our Sites and services we offer, and for any other purposes described
in the surveys.
3. Order For Service
When you want to sign up for Ours.com’s services (for more than
the 15-day free period of an Evaluation Account), you can do so as an
upgrade
from an
Evaluation Account or without having had an Evaluation Account at all.
To sign up, you fill out the online Order For Service form, and in the
process
you
are required to provide contact information (like name and shipping address)
and financial information (credit card number, expiration date) on our
order form. We use this information to communicate with you about your
account,
for billing purposes (including collection purposes, if necessary), and
to fulfill
your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we use this contact
information to get in touch with you.
4. Request For Proposal
Before or after you place an Order for Service, you may request information
about additional services by completing Ours.com’s online Request
for Proposal. During this process, you are required to provide your contact
information
(such as name and email address) and information about the services you
request. We use this information to communicate with you about your request
and about
the services on the Ours.com Site in which you have expressed interest,
and to consider the nature of those requested services.
We may, at times, also ask you to provide demographic information (such
as company location, and company type). While you are not required to
provide this demographic information in order to use the services that
are the
subject
of your Request for Proposal, we encourage you to do so to allow us to
provide a more personalized experience on the Ours.com Site.
5. Ours.com Members' Web site
Unless we indicate otherwise, you become an “Active Customer” on
the Effective Start Date of the service you sign up for from the Ours.com
Site (including under an Evaluation Account), and after that you remain
an Active
Customer until the Effective End Date of that service. As an Active Customer,
you can manage certain aspects of your account (e.g., personal identification
information, account records, media content, and various reports) by
logging into the Ours.com Web site. To access the members' area of Ours.com's
Web
site, you must enter your unique user name and your password. We use
that information
to log you in to Ours.com's Web site.
6. Site and Service Updates
We use contact information from Active Customers to send them periodic
Site and Service Updates, which contain important information about using
the services
on the Ours.com Site, including account billing and collections and technical
support. We provide Site and Service Updates primarily through email,
but we may do so sometimes by postal mail or phone. You may request to
stop
receiving
Site and Service Updates by contacting Ours.com directly as described
at the end of this Policy. We recommend against Active Customers unsubscribing
from
Site and Service Updates because of their importance. If you do unsubscribe
to Site and Service Updates, you waive any right to receive notifications
of any modifications or changes to the Ours.com Site, to our services,
or to our
policies. (However, this Policy does not establish or imply such a right.)
7. Surveys
From time-to-time our Sites may request information from you via surveys.
Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary, and you therefore
have a choice whether
or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include
contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic
information
(such as zip code, etc.). The information you provide in response to
surveys will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use
and satisfaction
of our Sites and Services, and for other reasonably related purposes
described in those surveys.
