Konarka Technologies, Inc. ("Konarka") respects your privacy. This privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") is made available to you in order to make you aware of how Konarka collects and uses your personally identifiable information through this website (the "Site"). Personally identifiable information is information that could reasonably be used to identify you personally such as your name, address, birth date or e-mail address, which we refer to in this Privacy Policy as "PII".
Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to any information you may disclose publicly in any chat rooms, message boards, or similar web pages. You should keep in mind that whenever you publicly disclose information about yourself online - for example, via message boards or chat rooms - that information could be collected and used by people whom you do not know. In addition, certain message boards and similar user forums may display IP addresses (as defined below) along with the message poster's name and message. Konarka bears no responsibility for any action or policies of any third parties who collect any information users may disclose on the message boards, chat areas or other user forums, if any, on the Site.
Personally Identifiable Information
Generally, you may browse the Site without providing any PII. However, there may be times when we ask you to provide us with certain PII, such as when you choose to register with our Site and/or for newsletters or choose to participate in an online forum, survey or voting procedure. Konarka may also make some of your PII available to a limited number of employees or business affiliates for the purpose of improving our products and services and to provide you with enhanced features such as customized content, access to special sections on the Site and so on. We may also ask you to provide us with demographic information or information regarding your interests or similar information. We reserve the right, at any time, to add features to our Site that require you to register or otherwise provide PII, or to require registration to access our Site. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of or participate in some of the Site's features. We may combine the information we collect with information available from other sources, including information received from promotional partners or other third parties. We may provide you the opportunity to e-mail a contact an invitation to join the Site. The e-mail addresses you supply us for such activity will be used to send the requested e-mail and will not be used to send you or your contact any other e-mail communications.
PII from Children Under Thirteen (13) Years of Age
This Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect any PII from children under 13 years of age. If you are under 13 years of age, do not submit any information about yourself to this Site. If we discover that a child under the age of 13 has provided the Site with PII, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete that child's PII from all Konarka systems.
Anonymous Information
This Site is hosted in the United States by a third party hosting company (the "Host"). To our knowledge, the Host has implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security in order to protect your PII from loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. Only authorized personnel are provided access to PII, and these employees are required to treat this information as confidential. Despite these precautions, however, Konarka cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will not obtain access to your PII.
When you visit the Site, the Host's web servers automatically collect Site usage information. Site usage information is anonymous information that describes how our visitors use and navigate the Site, and it includes the number and frequency of visitors to each web page and the length of their stays. We collect the anonymous information automatically sent to us by your web browser, such as browser type, IP address, and referrer data. We also may determine what technology is available through your browser in order to serve you the most appropriate version of a web page. For example, we may determine that you have installed a version of Flash, and we may then send you the appropriate Flash version of the web page rather than an HTML page.
IP Addresses
An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer or network when you are on the Internet. When visitors request pages from our Site, the Host's servers log the visitor's IP address. We may collect IP addresses for a variety of internal purposes, such as system administration, reporting aggregate information to our business partners, or auditing the number of visits to different pages on our Site. Please note that some services within our Site, such as certain message boards, may display IP addresses along with the message poster's name and message.
Cookies
Cookies are information files that our Site may place on your computer to provide extended functionality and to personalize your Site experience. We may use cookies for a number of purposes. For example, we may use cookies to track usage patterns on the Site or to limit multiple responses to and registrations for a survey. We may also use cookies to record registration and personalization information, enabling you to save your user name and password. We do not store any PII in cookies, but we may link the cookie to any information we collect. You can, of course, disable cookies on your computer by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in your browser. However, it is possible that some parts of the Site will not operate correctly if you disable cookies. You should consult with your browser's provider/manufacturer if you have any questions regarding disabling cookies.
