OSGEN Network Services Inc. strives to offer its visitors the many advantages
of Internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalized
experience. We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name,
e-mail address, street address, telephone number) subject to the terms
of this privacy policy. We will never sell, barter, or rent your email
address to any unauthorized third party.
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are
visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the
services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide information
when you register for access to certain portions of our site or request
certain features, such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. You
may provide information when you participate in sweepstakes and
contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of
our site. Like most Web sites, OSGEN Network Services Inc. also collects
information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that
may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of
your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you
and hold information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may
store your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter
that information each time you visit, or may control the number of times
you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we
adopt additional technology, we may also gather information through
other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with
information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept
cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions of
the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we
may not be able to customize the site’s features according to your
preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit
and deliver more individualized content and advertising. We respect your
privacy and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify
you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information
about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other
users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages
are visited most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated
Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business
partners. Again, this information does not include any Personally
Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to identify you
individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on
OSGEN Network Services Inc. to communicate with you about your registration and
customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy;
services and products offered by OSGEN Network Services Inc. and other topics
we think you might find of interest.
OSGEN Network Services Inc. will not share or disclose information
regarding you to any third party except:
-
when we receive legal process such as a court order or are required
to disclose any information by law, as an example, Income Tax reporting
-
when it is reasonably necessary to protect our rights or property
-
in emergencies such as where someone's safety is at risk
-
or as required for product/service registration whereby
personally identifiable
information is required to complete the order/application (e.g. domain
name registration)
Personally Identifiable Information collected by
OSGEN Network Services Inc.
may also be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site
administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions,
administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications
with you. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the
operation of our site (our Web hosting service for example) may access
such information. We will use your information only as permitted by law.
In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our business,
we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses.
In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred
assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a court
order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do
so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to
us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it
appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice
prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
OSGEN Network Services Inc. expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates to
respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties,
including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content
providers accessible through our site, may have their own privacy and
data collection policies and practices. For example, during your visit
to our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a OSGEN
Network Services Inc. page, certain content that is actually created or hosted by
a third party. Also, through OSGEN Network Services Inc. you may be introduced
to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features, contests or
sweepstakes offered by other parties. OSGEN Network Services Inc. is not
responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You
should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when
providing information on a feature or page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third
parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some
of your preferences or retrieve information about you. For example, some
of our advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies
that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a
particular advertisement before. Other features available on our site
may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies or
other technology to gather information. OSGEN Network Services Inc. does not
control the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting
information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such
third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally
Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas, that
information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by
third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited
messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are
beyond the control of OSGEN Network Services Inc. and this policy.
Children
OSGEN Network Services Inc. does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally
Identifiable Information from or about children under 13 except as
permitted by law. If we discover we have received any information from a
child under 13 in violation of this policy, we will delete that
information immediately. If you believe OSGEN Network Services Inc. has any
information from or about anyone under 13, please contact us at the

any change is posted will be used according to the rules and laws that
applied at the time the information was collected.

State of Delaware. If a dispute arises under this Policy we agree to
