What Personal Information does SilverStar WebDesigns
collect?
In
the course of serving its customers, SilverStar WebDesigns acquires,
stores and transmits customer communications and information that
customers may regard as private or sensitive. Some of this information
- such as the customer's name, address, telephone number, and credit
card data - is provided to SilverStar WebDesigns by its customers
in order to establish service. Other information - such as the customer's
account status, choice of services, and customer logs - is created
and maintained by SilverStar WebDesigns in the normal course of
providing service. SilverStar WebDesigns also uses cookies, which
are small pieces of information that a web site can store in a designated
file on a user's computer for various reasons. In addition, SilverStar
WebDesigns may store customers' electronic mail and other communications
as a necessary incident to the transmission and delivery of those
communications.
U.S.
tax law may require that we collect social security numbers or federal
tax identification numbers from active resellers who earn commissions.
You have the option of refusing to provide this information, but
doing so may affect the amount, if any, that SilverStar WebDesigns
must withhold from your compensation for tax purposes.

Security
SilverStar
WebDesigns will protect the confidentiality of its customers' information,
account information and personal communications to the fullest extent
possible and consistent with the law and the legitimate interests
of SilverStar WebDesigns, its partners, its employees and other
customers of SilverStar WebDesigns services. To protect the loss,
misuse, and alteration of information that is collected from customers,
SilverStar WebDesigns has appropriate physical, electronic, and
managerial procedures in place.
How
is customer information used?
SilverStar
WebDesigns may share customer information with selected partners,
for example, to provide customers with information about products

may also use customer information to provide its customers with
system information or information about new or upgraded products.

Will
SilverStar WebDesigns ever send me direct mailings?
From
time to time, SilverStar WebDesigns may send its customers information
about various products and services that may be of interest. We
will not send you information of this type without specifically
allowing you to "opt out" of such mailings. You can opt
out by sending an e-mail to support@silverstarsites.net
In
addition, if you are a SilverStar WebDesigns reseller, SilverStar
WebDesigns and/or its partners and advertisers may from time to

How
do I protect my Personal Information in public forums?
SilverStar
WebDesigns may offer interactive forums, such as message boards
and chat. SilverStar WebDesigns users should be aware that when
they voluntarily disclose Personal Information to other users or
to third parties on the SilverStar WebDesigns system, through e-mail,
or outside of the SilverStar WebDesigns system, that information
can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited
messages from other members or third parties. While SilverStar WebDesigns
strives to protect your Personal Information, SilverStar WebDesigns
cannot guarantee the security of any information that you transmit
to SilverStar WebDesigns, and you are solely responsible for maintaining
the secrecy of any passwords or other account information.
What
about privacy on sites that SilverStar WebDesigns links to?
SilverStar
WebDesigns may provide links to its partners and other Internet
sites. These sites have separate data and privacy practices independent
of SilverStar WebDesigns, and SilverStar WebDesigns disclaims any
responsibility or liability for their policies or actions.
Disclosure
of customer information and communications
SilverStar
WebDesigns will not otherwise disclose its customers' personal and
account information unless SilverStar WebDesigns has reason to believe
that disclosing such information is necessary to identify, make
contact with, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing
harm or interfering with the rights or property of SilverStar WebDesigns,
SilverStar WebDesigns' customers, or others, or where SilverStar
WebDesigns has a good faith belief that the law requires such disclosure.
SilverStar WebDesigns also will not, except for reasons stated below,
disclose to third parties the contents of any electronic mail or
other electronic communications that SilverStar WebDesigns stores
or transmits for its customers. The circumstances under which SilverStar
WebDesigns will disclose such electronic customer communications
are when:
1.
it is necessary in order to provide service to the customer;
2. it is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of SilverStar
WebDesigns and its customers;
3. it is required to cooperate with interception orders, warrants,
or other legal process that SilverStar WebDesigns determines in
its sole discretion to be valid and enforceable; and
4. it is necessary to provide to a law enforcement agency when
the contents are inadvertently obtained by SilverStar WebDesigns
and appear to pertain to the commission of a crime.
SilverStar
WebDesigns disclaims any intention to censor, edit or engage in
ongoing review or surveillance of communications stored on or transmitted
through its facilities by customers or others. SilverStar WebDesigns
will, however, review, delete or block access to communications
that may harm SilverStar WebDesigns, its customers or third parties.
The grounds on which SilverStar WebDesigns may take such action
include, but are not limited to, actual or potential violations
of SilverStar WebDesigns' Acceptable Use Policy.
