- Electronic Communication and Cookies
EcomWinz may receive data from the User as part of the communication established through various standardized electronic interactions and exchanges between the User’s computer and EcomWinz servers and other devices. This information often consists of network routing details, equipment and application information, internet protocol addresses, date and time. EcomWinz servers will also query User’s computer to see if there are Cookies previously generated by EcomWinz to facilitate log in or site navigation procedures. Various parts of the EcomWinz site may use Cookies to collect information about visitors’ and User use of the web site and return visit facilitation. The information collected from Cookies help avoid duplicate data entries, facilitate navigation, permit analysis of User site navigation and increase the relevance of content supplied to a User. Cookies on the site may collect the following information: a unique identifier composed of numerical, alphabetical or special characters, User preferences and profile information used to personalize the content that is shown, and User information to access EcomWinz portals. Some Cookies used by EcomWinz may remain on the User’s computer after they leave the web site and until they are removed manually, but the majority expire within a certain time period, typically within three hundred and sixty five (365) days. Cookies may also be of benefit to the User by creating a more streamlined login process, keeping track of shopping cart additions and preserving order information between sessions. In the future, as EcomWinz enables further customization of the various websites, Cookies will help in assuring that information provided to the User will be the most relevant.

All major browsers contain instructions on how to modify Cookie policies within the respective Help menus and files. - Telephone Communication
For the purposes of quality control and to better facilitate customer support and employee training, EcomWinz may randomly record telephone conversations in whole or part and store this information on internal company equipment and servers. Such data storage will be executed with the same level of security as other equally sensitive data storage of customer information. EcomWinz may associate such random recordings with specific case or trouble ticket numbers, which may in turn be associated with a User or Customer profile and used as reference to assist in future troubleshooting, user experience improvement and Service delivery improvement. - Managed Online Profiles
As part of the delivery of certain Services, EcomWinz may, with the permission and authorization of Customer, manage online profiles for certain Customers. Online profile management may result in the Customer providing EcomWinz with proprietary, copyrighted, trademarked or other Customer and User specific information including Customer generated content, media and press information and instructions for how to delivery, display and otherwise relay such information, to the best of EcomWinz’s ability, to the general public as part of an online marketing effort or targeted campaign. Such information may then be displayed on third party sites. - How EcomWinz Uses Collected Data

– To engage in transactions for service. Name, address, circuit numbers, telephone numbers, email, purchase details, and credit card/payment information may be collected and stored as part of the transaction history. The majority of the data collected under this category is contact information. EcomWinz may need to share some of this data (address, payment) with credit card clearing houses, banking institutions, and other similarly situated third parties that are required to accomplish the transaction.
– To provide future service or support. Information collected for this purpose is both contact data and information related to products and service/support requested.

This information is used to provide service, product updates, notices or migration support.

– To respond to User inquiries and requests for information. This data includes registrations for online newsletters, opt-in mailing lists and specific requests for further information.
– To provide various EcomWinz communities, such as resellers, with relevant product alerts and updates.

– To better tailor marketing to User needs. We may use information from purchases and requirements to provide User with timely and pertinent notices of product releases and service developments that address User needs and requirements.

If a User elects to use our EcomWinz or similar referral or reseller program for informing partners, associates, resellers or Users about our site, products and services, we may request specific information such as name, email address, mailing address or other contact information to be collected. EcomWinz will use this information only for the purposes of contacting the User for administrative, provisioning or other processes required to provide Services or verify interest in the appropriate program. EcomWinz may also use this information for tracking the success of our referral programs. There are parts of the web site that permit Users to participate in interactive static and live discussions. Some of these are moderated; all are subject to access for technical reasons. EcomWinz does not control the content that Users post and some may serve as public discussion forums, frequently asked questions databases and other venues for common discourse. As in any interactive forum open to many Users, individual Users should carefully consider what data is shared or made public. EcomWinz reserves the right to remove offensive, derogatory, racist, sexually suggestive, oppressive or otherwise inappropriate material. - User Portal, User Customization, Preferences and Opt-Out
EcomWinz maintains, updates, removes and adds to many User portals. Different Users gain access to different portals including, but not limited to, the EcomWinz Webmail Portal, User Statistics Portal, EcomWinz Trouble Ticketing Portal, Domain Registration and Domain Management Portal. New Users are automatically registered for access for various Portals. The various Portals allow Users the ability to create Users, add/delete Users, add/delete User privileges and opt in (or out) of services and mailing lists. The Portals provide Users with control over their preferences for electronic information delivery. EcomWinz also creates a main Super User and assigns such a User with the ability to manage accounts or profiles. EcomWinz maintains the data and allows Super Users to update such data at any time. To change this information, a Super User must be a current User and login with a User ID and password and follow the prompts to make various modifications. All Users are responsible for the safe keeping of various passwords, usernames, private information and other User specific data. Super Users become the main contact for account modification requests made by individual Users. EcomWinz continues to expand the portfolio of services and information that Users may access, update and opt out of. Some communications are not subject to general opt-out. These include communications about sales transactions; information about critical updates and services notifications, EcomWinz operational changes; disclosures to comply with legal requirements; and network upgrades or other related service maintenance which materially affect the delivery of various services. - Security
EcomWinz is concerned with the security of the data collected and has in place commercially reasonable measures to prevent unauthorized access to such information. These measures include network security, policies, procedures, employee training, physical access and technical elements relating to data access controls. In addition, EcomWinz uses standard security protocols and mechanisms to exchange the transmission of sensitive data such as bank details and credit card information. In the event that individual personal data is acquired, or is reasonably believed to have been acquired, by an unauthorized person and applicable law requires notification, EcomWinz will notify the affected individual of the breach in writing by electronic mail. Notice will be given promptly, unless cooperation to delay is required by law or as part of a criminal investigation. All reasonable efforts will be made to determine the scope of the breach and to assure or restore the integrity of the system or data breach. - Third Party Policies
