Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 1, 2008

Welcome to our web site. TrustMe Security Inc. has created this Privacy Policy in order to document and communicate our commitment to doing business securely with the highest ethical standards and appropriate internal controls.

Our Privacy Policy is designed to give you, the user, an explanation of how information is collected, used and disclosed through this site and the TrustMe collection of plug-ins and applications. This document, together with our Terms of Use governs our affiliates, partners, and TrustMe Security Inc.'s relationship with you in relation to this web site and the TrustMe collection of applications, plug-ins and technology. Please read them carefully.

The term "TrustMe" or "us" or "we" refers to the owner of the web site and TrustMe collection of applications, plug-ins and technology, TrustMe Security Inc., whose registered office is Suite 200, 264 Botsford Street, Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada.

The term "TrustMe Application" refers to any application, plug-in, and/or other technology, provided under any license.

The term "you" refers to the user or viewer of our web site, any persons with accessibility to this web site, or a user of a TrustMe Application.

A. Defining Personal Information

TrustMe is committed to providing our web site visitors and TrustMe Application users with the advantages of online technology. Part of this commitment may include providing an interactive and personalized experience. TrustMe may collect information including your name, email address, civic and postal address, telephone number, communications with TrustMe, product preferences, provided business information, related billing records and other user supplied demographic data (hereinafter referred to as "Personally Identifiable Information") subjected to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.

Please note this policy applies only to information collected by TrustMe online or a TrustMe Application and does not impact information collected or used by TrustMe or its affiliates through other means.

B. Information Collection

TrustMe will only ask for information about you that we need and will only ask for it when we need it. When we ask you for the information, we will explain to you why we need it and what we are going to do with it.

We will seek your prior consent to the collection, use and disclosure of the information as required by applicable privacy legislation. Subject to legal and contractual requirements, you can refuse to consent to our collection, use or disclosure of information about you. You may also withdraw your consent to any further collection, use or disclosure of information about you at any time by giving us reasonable notice. Please note that some features and functions of this site or TrustMe Applications that require personal information may become unavailable should you withdraw consent. If our intended disclosures or uses of information change, we will notify you accordingly on this policy page.

TrustMe collects and stores information depending on the page you are visiting, your interactions with a TrustMe Application, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. TrustMe collects and uses your personal information primarily for the purpose of providing you with the products and services you have requested from us.

You may visit many pages on our site without providing any Personally Identifiable Information. Personally Identifiable Information is collected by TrustMe only when you specifically and knowingly choose to provide it to us.

You may optionally choose to provide information, such as when you register for access to portions of our site, subscribe to a service, submit a request for information, sign up for a mailing list or make a purchase. You may also choose to provide Personally Identifiable Information when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, voting and polling activities, comments, support requests and other interactive areas of our site and TrustMe Applications.

Like most web sites, TrustMe also collects information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. As an example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use "cookie" technology. TrustMe may also collect anonymous usage data collected from TrustMe Applications. This information cannot be used to identify you and is referred to as "Aggregated Information".

Information that has been disclosed to TrustMe as provided by another user, for example email addresses utilized when using share and invitation features, may be stored by TrustMe in a non-identifiable manner.

C. Use of Your Information

We will use your information only as permitted by law. Aggregated Information may be used in many ways. As one example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most attractive. Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our business partners, but cannot be used to contact you individually.

Collected Personally Identifiable Information may be used to enhance your web site visit or TrustMe Application use to deliver more individualized and relevant content or service. We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected by TrustMe to communicate with you regarding your account, our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, products and services offered by TrustMe and other TrustMe affiliates and partners, administration of sweepstakes and contests, processing e-commerce transactions and execution of other site operations included in our services requested by you. We reserve the right to share this information with other TrustMe business units and affiliates, including entities in which TrustMe has an ownership interest.

Unless you specifically authorize us to release your personal information, or release is required or permitted by law, TrustMe will not sell, lease, trade or otherwise permit access to your personal information to other third parties.

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. In the absence of a subpoena, TrustMe may respond to a verified request by law enforcement to disclose for an email address relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity. Your information may be disclosed in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.

D. Third Parties

TrustMe expects its partners and third-party affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. However, third parties, including our partners, affiliates and other content providers accessible through our site or a TrustMe Application, may have their own privacy and data collection policies and practices. For example, during your visit to our site you may find linked to on a TrustMe page, certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through TrustMe you may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. TrustMe 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.

E. Security

TrustMe is committed to protecting your privacy. Security measures, such as locked cabinets, change control procedures, restricted access and the use of passwords and encryption have been adopted to protect your personal information against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized internal and external access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. Our employees have been trained to respect your privacy at all times and those employees with access to your personal information shall use your personal information strictly in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the laws applicable to each specific business.

F. Avoiding Fraud

TrustMe and our affiliates and partners will never solicit you by email, telephone or other means and request that you log in to the site to update personal information, confirm your username and password or otherwise confirm or disclose Personally Identifiable Information not directly necessary to fulfill a user initiated request.

Go directly to our web site by typing it into your web browser or using a bookmark before logging in. Never click on a link in an email that takes you to a TrustMe log in page. TrustMe will never send you an email with a log in link.

If you believe that you are being targeted by a fraudulent communication, please contact us immediately so that we may investigate. If you have been the victim of a fraudulent communication and have mistakenly provided a username or password that may allow persons to exploit your Personally Identifiable Information, contact us immediately so that we may disable access.

Change your TrustMe Application and accounts on the TrustMe web site frequently. Use strong passwords and do not share your log in and access information with anyone.

G. Access & Accuracy

If you have any questions about the collection, use or disclosure of your personal information by TrustMe, or if you simply want to know whether we have any of your personal information on file, you may contact TrustMe.

Except in limited circumstances, as specifically provided by applicable privacy legislation, TrustMe can tell you whether we hold personal information about you.

TrustMe attempts to ensure that information about you is accurate, complete and up-to-date. In the event you have questions about the accuracy of factual information we have collected about you, TrustMe will provide the means to correct it or if unavailable update it upon verification of your identity and a written and verifiable request. If we have disclosed inaccurate information about you to a third party, we will be pleased to contact the third party in order to correct the information.

TrustMe will only refuse access to information about you in those circumstances permitted or required by applicable privacy legislation. If TrustMe refuses access to you, it will provide you with the reasons for its refusal upon request. Exceptions may include information that contains references to other individuals, information that cannot be disclosed for legal, security or commercial proprietary reasons, and information that is subject to solicitor-client or litigation privilege. TrustMe will respond to your requests for access in accordance with applicable privacy legislation.

H. Children

TrustMe does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally Identifiable Information from or about children. TrustMe complies with the requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the FTC's Rule interpreting COPPA (16 CFR § 512). If we discover we have received any information from a child in violation of this policy, we will delete that information immediately or following an investigation by appropriate law enforcement agencies.

I. Conclusion

TrustMe reserves the right to change this policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of our site following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes. Information collected prior to the time any change is posted will be used according to the rules and laws that applied at the time the information was collected.

This policy and the use of this site are governed by the laws of New Brunswick and Canada. Any claim related to the site or this policy shall be brought in a federal or provincial court in Moncton, New Brunswick within one year after the claim arises.

TrustMe is controlled, operated and administered entirely within Canada. If you are located outside Canada, please note the information you provide to us will be transferred to Canada. You hereby consent to this transfer.

The invalidity of any term or provision of this policy will not affect the validity of any other provision.
