Explanation of Service.

INEEN MAY, HOWEVER, ENGAGE A THIRD PARTY IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT INEEN’S COMMUNICATION AND/OR MARKETING, STRICTLY ON INEEN’S BEHALF AND UNDER INEEN’S RESPONSIBILITY. INEEN WILL TREAT ANY INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE TO INEEN AS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND WILL NOT DISCLOSE IT TO ANY THIRD PARTY OUTSIDE THE INEEN NETWORK. INEEN WILL PROVIDE INFORMATION COLLECTED THROUGH THE NETWORK TO OTHER USERS IN THE NETWORK ONLY WITH YOUR EXPLICIT PERMISSION AS GRANTED BY YOU THROUGH APPLICABLE SETTINGS AVAILABLE IN THE software. THIS INFORMATION IS GENERALLY NOT STORED BY INEEN AT ALL AND IS INSTEAD VOLUNTARILY SHARED BY USERS TO AND FROM OTHER USERS IN THE NETWORK.
In the event that ineen and/or its units or subsidiaries are ever sold, acquired, merged, liquidated, reorganized, or otherwise transferred, ineen reserves the right to transfer its user databases together with any personally identifiable information contained therein, to a third-party acquiring ineen’s assets. In the event ineen does so, it will place a prominent notice of the sale on the homepage of its corporate website, with links to information as to how you can change your privacy preferences.
What Information Do You Provide to us and How Do We Use it?
When you use the ineen services and software you provide three types of Information: (1) Personal Information you actively choose to disclose to ineen (“Active Information”), (2) Usage Information that is provided passively or generated automatically during your use of ineen software (“Passive Information”) and (3) information that you share or communicate with other ineen software users (“User Information”).
Active information includes information which is required in order for the ineen software to verify your identity and provide you with the ineen services. This includes your ineen number and password. This information is stored centrally by ineen. Active information may also include any billing information you submit only if you decide to purchase services from ineen. Billing information is stored securely by ineen’s third party billing provider according to local laws and regulations (please see the applicable Terms of Service at time of purchase). Billing information is only stored in order to comply with local regulations and to provide you with accurate billing information and service.
If you choose to invite a friend to join ineen through either a menu option in the software or facilities available at the website www.ineen.com and related pages, you will be directed to a web page and will have the possibility of adding one or more email addresses in an online form. Any information entered in this form is NOT stored centrally by ineen and will NOT be used to send content to those specified email addresses apart from the invitation to join ineen at the time the user filled out the form. The ineen website may also contain feedback forms where feedback can be reported directly to ineen employees. Any and all information which is voluntarily submitted in such feedback forms are used for the purposes of reviewing this feedback and improving the ineen software and services. ineen reserves the right to utilize this information for marketing purposes, for instance by displaying selected comments on its website or in other communications. If ineen chooses to display a user-submitted comment it will either display it anonymously, stripping away all personally identifiable information, or request permission directly from you before displaying it.
From time to time, ineen may send you surveys or solicit your feedback. ineen uses surveys to gauge user interest in new products and premiums it may offer. ineen will ask for your feedback on e-cards and other site features. ineen will use the information it gathers to improve its sites and provide a more meaningful experience for its users. ineen may also use the information to alert you to offers and products of ineen in which you have expressed an interest.
User Information may be required by certain ineen services in order for the ineen software to function as intended and, if so desired, for other users of the ineen software to communicate with you. User Information includes any information you enter in your User Profile (such as name and email address) and also includes your current online status and your IP number. User Information is sometimes stored centrally and is temporarily transmitted to other users in the network if you have chosen to make this information available. As with most other communication software, other users of ineen software may be able to obtain your IP address.
Passive Information is limited to information that is necessary in order to provide you with the desired functionality of the ineen software and may include a session ID token, source and destination addressing information, and the version of the ineen software you are using. Passive Information is automatically generated and is not stored centrally, except for anonymously aggregated statistical information used to provide you with better service or statistical information used solely for the purposes of detecting fraud or to block access to ineen services after the free trial period has ended according to the terms set out in the End User License Agreement.
