1 Information Collected by Ridge Systems LLC
We will not knowingly use information collected on this website from others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Ridge Systems LLC collects information from our users at several different points on our website.
For purposes of this Privacy Statement, “Personally Identifiable Information” refers to information that can directly identify an individual; for example, such information may include an individual’s name, mailing address, phone number or email address.
1.1 Information that Is Automatically Collected
We use IP addresses, with the help of secure software, to analyze trends, administer the website, track users’ movements, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to Personally Identifiable Information.
1.2 Information that Is Collected by Cookies
Some of our Vendors and Merchants use cookies on our website (for example, advertisers); however, we have no access to or control over these cookies. If we find that these vendors or merchants are using the information retrieved by their cookies in ways that violate the CAN SPAM Act we will take action to remove them from this site.
1.3 Information that Is Actively Submitted to Ridge Systems LLC
Any contact initiated by the user through our contact us page is considered as “Actively Submitted Information”. Ridge Systems LLC will use this information and the associated request to accommodate the needs of our users, vendors and Merchants. This information is subject to “3 How Information Collected by Ridge Systems LLC Is Used”
1.4 Information Ridge Systems LLC Obtains from Third Parties
Supplemental Information Collected. In certain circumstances, in order for our website to properly fulfill its obligation to our users, it is necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with information from third party sources. For example, to determine if a vendor or Merchant requests advertising space on within a Ridge Systems LLC web page, we use their name and business information to request a credit report.
2 Communications from Ridge Systems LLC
Thank You Emails and General Correspondence. We send an automated thank you email to the email address associated with a user that has sent us correspondence. Our users will occasionally receive information on products, services, or special deals.
Site and Service Updates. We send the user website and service announcement updates. Users are not permitted to unsubscribe from service announcements, which contain important information about the website and/or service. We may communicate with users to provide services that users request or to discuss issues relating to their requests or comments.
3 How Information Collected by Ridge Systems LLC Is Used
Demographic Information. We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. The aggregated demographic information is not linked to any Personally Identifiable Information that can identify any individual person.
Communicating with Our Users. We use Personally Identifiable Information (such as your name, telephone number or email address) to communicate with our users when they have questions, concerns or comments about their requests or the services that we provide. If you contact us, we may or may not delete your emails or voicemails to us.
Information Shared With Third Parties. We share information with third parties as required by ICANN and in order to give our customers access to a great variety of services. Specifically, we may do the following:
· Submit the name, postal address, e-mail address, and phone numbers associated with the registrant, administrative, technical and billing contacts of a domain name to the appropriate Registry or registration database. This information is included in a publicly available ‘Whois’ database, in accordance with ICANN rules. This sharing of information is required by ICANN rules.
· Use a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not use Personally Identifiable Information for any use other than credit card processing; however, we will not be responsible or liable for use of the information required by credit card companies in contravention of their policies, contractual obligations or general good business procedures.
· Partner with third parties who provide services to our users. When the user signs up for or agrees to receive a specific service provided by the third party (i.e. from advertisements on Ridge Systems LLC Web Pages), we share the information that is needed for the third party to provide the services.
· Share the publicly available domain contact information submitted by our users for inclusion in the Whois database with third parties. We do not control the use of this Personally Identifiable Information by third parties.
· Share your Personally Identifiable Information with other entities that are owned by Ridge Systems LLC.
Addressing Legal Issues. Further, we provide Personally Identifiable Information to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. Further, we believe it is necessary to share Personally Identifiable Information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Ridge Systems LLC’s terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
Sale or Transfer of Ridge Systems LLC. If all or a portion of Ridge Systems LLC is transferred, sold, merged, ceases operations, goes bankrupt, or is otherwise involved in a transaction where the ownership or management of Ridge Systems LLC is changed (individually or collectively, a “Transaction”) then your Personally Identifiable Information or other user information may be transferred or assigned to a third party as part of the Transaction.
4 Correction/Updating Personal Information
Users must provide accurate and correct contact information (first name and e-mail address). If a user’s Personally Identifiable Information changes or if a user no longer desires Ridge Systems LLC’s services, we will provide a way to correct, update or remove that user’s personal data provided to us. This can usually be done (on your own) by emailing our user Support Group for assistance.
5 Opting Out
Users are provided an opportunity to “opt-out” of having their information used for purposes not directly related to the services they request. Users who no longer wish to receive newsletters or promotional materials from us may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying and typing “unsubscribe” in the subject line in the email or email your request to service@ridgesystemstn.com
