Privacy Policy
Commitment
Your privacy is important to us. By accepting the Privacy Policy and User
Agreement in registration, you expressly consent to our use and disclosure of
your personal information in the manner described in this Privacy Policy. This
Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to the terms of the NZB4U User
Agreement. If you have any queries, please contact a member of staff.
What This Privacy Policy Covers
This policy covers how NZB4U treats personal information that NZB4U collects
and receives, including information related to your past use of NZB4U products
and services. Personal information is information about you that is personally
identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that
is not otherwise publicly available.
This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that NZB4U does not
own or control, or to people that NZB4U does not employ or manage. In addition,
certain NZB4U associated companies such as ‘Thuis in ICT’ have their own
privacy statements.
General
NZB4U collects personal information when you register with NZB4U, when you use
NZB4U products or services and when you visit NZB4U. When you register we ask
for information such as a username and email address. We do not verify email
addresses and store email addresses encoded in our database. It is impossible
for us to view your email address. It is only used when you forget your
password or during the registration process and only then when you ask us to
send you the payment information by email. Once you register with NZB4U and
sign in to our services, you are anonymous to us. We do not track activity on
our services on a per user basis.
We are firm in our commitment to especially protect critical information, such
as your email address, from those who would use it for monetary gain.
Therefore, we urge you not to reveal your email address to anyone on the site,
even those with higher privileges (such as Global Editors) - Your information
will remain safe unless you willing give that information out.
Notification of Changes
This policy may be revised over time as new features are added to the NZB4U
service or as we incorporate suggestions from our customers. If we are going to
use or disclose your personally identifiable information in a manner materially
different from that stated at the time we collected the information, you will
have a choice as to whether or not we use or disclose your information in this
new manner. Any material changes will be effective only after we provide you by
email with at least 30 days' notice of the amended Privacy Policy (if you have
closed your NZB4U account, you will not be contacted to notify you of the
amended Policy and your personal information will not be used or disclosed in
this new manner).
We will post the amended Privacy Policy prominently on our Website so that you can always review what information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we will disclose it to anyone. Please check the NZB4U website at https://www.NZB4U.com at any time for the most current version of our Privacy Policy.
Some pages on the NZB4U website include links to third party websites. These sites are governed by their own privacy statements, and NZB4U is not responsible for their operations, including but not limited to their information practices. Users submitting information to or through these third party Websites should review the privacy statement of these sites before providing them with personally identifiable information. We urge you to be careful when clicking on external URLs, and if you do find an unscrupulous link upon the site, feel free to report your findings to us, and we will deem whether it is necessary to remove the link.
IP Addresses
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a set of numbers assigned to you by your
ISP (Internet Service Provider) during the time that you are online. Every
website you visit has access to this information, due to the way the Internet
works. This is nothing to worry about, as all websites need your IP in order to
discern where they have to send the information to. It is possible for sites to
personally identify you via your IP address, but that is only if you volunteer
the information in the first place. We (NZB4U) only records IP addresses for
the usage of statistics and to help with the general debugging of the website.
We will never try to identify you by your IP, except in certain circumstances
that warrant it, such as helping you with a problem, or if we suspect that your
activities on our website are not within legal boundaries (as per the Terms of
Service / Disclaimer.)
Our Use of "Cookies"
"Cookies" are small files of data that reside on your computer and allow us to
recognize you as a NZB4U customer if you return to the NZB4U site using the
same computer and browser. We send a "session cookie" to your computer if and
when you log in to your NZB4U account. These cookies allow us to recognize you
if you visit multiple pages in our site during the same session, so that you
don't need to re-enter your password multiple times. Once you log out, these
session cookies expire and no longer have any effect.
Our cookie files are encoded so that any information can only be interpreted by
NZB4U.
Public Forums
We may or may not provide message boards and comments systems to our members
and the general public. Please remember that any information within these areas
becomes Public Domain, and you should therefore exercise caution when deciding
to disclose any personal information. In fact, we highly frown on such
practices that are not within private boundaries. We cannot be held responsible
for protecting the privacy of any information that you willingly choose to
disclose upon the site. You do so at your own risk.
Security
One thing we are proud of is our dedication to site security, and doing as much
as physically possible to protect your personal information from loss, misuse,
unauthorized access or alteration. Please bear in mind that we cannot guarantee
under all circumstances that loss, misuse, unauthorized access or alteration to
data will never occur. Therefore, we will not be held responsible should any of
the aforementioned occur.
Afterword
We (NZB4U) will never use any personal information that you have provided to us
to making a quick and dirty buck/pound/euro by changing the privacy practices
to benefit ourselves in a monetary way. We trust you to use our site as much as
we hope that you trust us with your information.
