Getting to Know Our Customers
Internetever is in the business of putting people
in touch with other people. That requires more
than simply offering innovative technical
services. It also requires that we understand you,
our customer, and your needs. Indeed, we are the
Internet's leading domain name registrar because
we have taken the time to get acquainted with each
one of our many customers.
We get to know you primarily through the
information you provide to us when signing up for,
or using, one or more of our services. The
information you provide ranges from basic contact
information, to payment information, to the
technical coordinates of your host servers. The
application for domain name registration services
found at
www.networksolutions.com
is a representative illustration of the
information we request of you. All of the
information we request from you when purchasing
our services is obligatory unless otherwise noted
on the relevant form. When you purchase our
services, you agree to provide and maintain
accurate, complete and updated information.
After you have signed up for our services, we may
be in communication with you about your account,
technical questions you may have about services
provided by us, or any other matter relating to
those services. Those communications are essential
to our relationship with you and to our ability to
provide you with quality services that are
responsive to your needs. At the same time, those
communications give us helpful insights about you,
your preferences and the ways in which we might
improve our services. We therefore may maintain
this information for future use.
For operational and quality assurance purposes, we
take note of whether and how you use the
information and services that we provide, such as
by recording site traffic patterns and by
maintaining log files of users' access to site
files.
The information we receive from or about you is
stored on systems designed to prevent the loss,
misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure,
alteration or destruction of that information. We
also encrypt your transmission of sensitive
information to us (e.g., credit card numbers,
account passwords) in the interest of heightened
privacy protection and information integrity.
Transactions within our account manager and
purchase flows use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
encryption when transmitting data from your
connection to our systems. You may click the lock
icon within your web browser to verify the
authenticity of any or our SSL certificates.
Third
Party Advertising and Cookies
We use third-party advertising companies to serve
ads on our Web site and other Web sites. In the
course of serving advertisements, these companies
may place or recognize a unique 'cookie' on your
hard drive, and may use information (not including
your name, address, e-mail address, or telephone
number) about your visits to this and other web
sites in order to measure advertising
effectiveness and to provide advertisements about
goods and services of interest to you. For more
information about this practice and to know your
choices about not having your information used by
these companies, please visit
http://www.doubleclick.net/us/corporate/privacy.
Internetever shares Web site usage information
about visitors to our Web site with a reputable
third-party advertising company for the purpose of
targeting our Internet banner advertisements on
this site and other sites. For this purpose, we
and our third-party advertising company note some
of the pages you visit on our Web site through the
use of pixel tags (also called clear gifs). The
information collected by our third-party
advertising company through the use of these pixel
tags is not personally identifiable. For more
information about our third-party advertiser,
please click here. To opt out of the targeting
program, please click

Information Corrections or Changes
You have the ability to correct or change certain
information in our records, such as your address
and contact information. The process for changing
your information begins at
our
site. You
may change this information at any time and as
often as necessary. If you need assistance or have
questions about correcting information, you can
contact us via e-mail at
office@internetever.com
How
We Put Information to Good Use
We use information about you for purposes of
monitoring and improving our internal operations,
as well as to ensure we: (i) bill you properly,
(ii) administer your account in accordance with
your agreements with us, and (iii) properly
perform the services you have requested.
We also use the information we collect to monitor
and improve our internal operations, as well as to
improve the experience of users in our network of
sites. For example, we may correlate Web site
traffic information with data about individual
users. This data helps us to determine how much
our customers use parts of the site, allowing us
to enhance it to fit the needs of as many of our
customers as possible. We may also break down
overall usage statistics according to customers'
domain names, browser types, and MIME types by
reading this information from the browser string
(information contained in every user's browser).
Another example of our use of information to
enhance the experience of users in our network of
sites is our reliance on cookie files. We use
cookie files to make it easier for users to access
our site or services. A cookie file is a small
data file that certain Web sites write to your
hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can
contain information such as a user ID that the
site uses to track the pages you have visited.
However, the only personal information a cookie
can contain is information you supply yourself. A
cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read
cookie files created by other sites. We use
cookies to track user traffic patterns (as
described above) when you register for
Internetever services. When you register, we may
use a cookie to store a unique, random user ID. We
use this ID to identify you anonymously in our
database and to track the pages you visit on our
site.
If you have set your browser to warn you before
accepting cookies, you will receive the warning
message with each cookie. You may refuse cookies
by turning them off in your browser; however, some
of our sites may require a cookie for access.
Finally, we use the information we collect to
direct important notices and information affecting
your account or services, as well as to provide
general information that may be of interest to
you, including newsletters, surveys, contest and
sweepstake announcements, and information about
our service or product offerings or the offerings
of our business affiliates. You may opt-out of
receiving information from us simply by notifying
us of your desire in accordance with the opt-out
instructions contained in any information message
you receive from us. Note, however, that in order
to fulfill our service obligations to you, we must
continue sending you notices and other important
information affecting your account or services.
With Whom We May
Share Information
Pursuant to arrangements with Internet Corporation
for Assigned Names and Numbers ('ICANN'), we
compile and maintain a publicly accessible
registration database that includes basic
information about each domain name registered with
us, including the names, telephone numbers and
e-mail addresses of individuals designated as
points of contact for a given domain name. Whether
or not applicable domain name registration fees
have been paid is also publicly accessible. With
the gradual continued privatization of the Domain
Name System, and consistent with the rules or
policies applicable to that system, or to comply
with any changes in law or regulation, we may, if
appropriate, take steps to restrict the
accessibility and amount of personally identifying
information available in the registration database
When you register a domain name through us, we
must disclose your domain name and its associated
Internet Protocol ("IP") numbers to the
appropriate registry in order to make your chosen
domain name a functional address on the Internet.
Certain registries also require that we disclose
to them the names, postal addresses, telephone and
fax numbers, and e-mail addresses of individuals
designated as the registrant or points of contact
for a given domain name. Each registry discloses
certain portions (and in some cases all) of the
information we are required to provide to them
about your domain name registration. For example,
each registry discloses at least each registered
domain name and its associated IP numbers ("TLD
zone files") to TLD server administrators so that
the domain name is capable of functioning as an
address on the Internet. Consistent with the
current rules and policies for the Domain Name
System, such registries also disclose the TLD zone
files to other interested persons, provided those
persons agree, among other things, not to use the
TLD zone files for improper purposes, including
the transmission of unsolicited commercial e-mail.
Similarly, each registry may compile and maintain
a publicly accessible database that includes basic
information about each domain name registered with
that registry, including the names, telephone and
fax numbers, and e-mail addresses of individuals
designated as the registrant or points of contact
for a given domain name.
We may share certain information about you with
those of our vendors who are responsible for
handling your account or performing other services
that you require (including vendors who may update
your credit card expiration date and credit card
account number if you choose our auto-renew
feature). Although we may share sensitive
financial information (i.e., credit card numbers,
banking information), security information (e.g.,
account passwords) and personal communications
(e.g., personal e-mail messages or message board
postings) with such vendors where necessary and
appropriate, we will not share such information
with other third parties, except in response to
formal requests (e.g., subpoena or court order)
made in connection with litigation, arbitration,
or criminal proceedings directly relating to a
domain name registration or other services we
provide, or as directed by you or your agent.
Additionally, we may share the information stored
on the publicly accessible registration database,
as well as other information that is not of a
sensitive nature, with carefully selected business
partners, including those who offer services that
complement those provided by us or which may
otherwise be of interest to you.
Please note, however,
that consistent with the current rules and
policies for the Domain Name System, information
about you must remain available in the publicly
accessible registration database.
How
Do I Get My Name Removed from Bulk Access
As noted above, we currently make certain
information about you available to the general
public via our domain name registration database
look-up services. These services give users access
to such data on a query-by-query basis. Pursuant
to our arrangements with ICANN, qualified persons
may also access such data on a bulk basis provided
they agree, among other things, not to use the
data to allow, enable or otherwise support the
transmission by e-mail, telephone, or facsimile of
mass, unsolicited, commercial advertising or
solicitations to entities other than to such
qualified persons’ own existing customers; or (ii)
sell or redistribute the data to third parties,
except insofar as the data is incorporated into a
value-added product or service that does not
permit the extraction of a substantial portion of
the data.
Our Accountability to
You
By purchasing our services, you obtain the
protections of, and consent to the data processing
practices described in, this Privacy Policy. When
you purchase our services, you also represent to
us that you have provided notice to, and obtained
consent from, any third party individuals whose
personal data you supply to us with regard to: (i)
the purposes for which such third party's personal
data have been collected, (ii) the intended
recipients or categories of recipients of the
third party's personal data, (iii) which of the
third party's data are obligatory and which data,
if any, are voluntary, and (iv) how the third
party can access and, if necessary, rectify the
data held about them.
In addition to the privacy protections that we
provide, our employees, agents and business
partners are independently responsible for
ensuring compliance with this Privacy Policy, as
described below.
Employee Accountability
Only those Internetever employees that have a
legitimate business purpose for accessing and
handling personal information obtained by us are
given authorization to do so. The unauthorized
access or use of such information by a
Internetever employee is prohibited and
constitutes grounds for disciplinary action.
Additionally, our information management systems
are configured in such a way as to block or
inhibit employees from accessing information that
they have no authority to access.
The
Accountability of Internetever's Agents and
Business Partners
Our trusted vendors and business partners are
responsible for processing or handling some of the
information that we receive. These vendors and
business partners are not authorized to use such
information for purposes beyond those specified by
us and are required to preserve the
confidentiality with which we treat such
information.

agents, representatives or employees, is violating
this Privacy Policy, please contact us via e-mail
