We tell you how and why we use Web technologies.

Here is how and why we use some common technologies to help manage our Web site:

Cookies. A "cookie" is a small piece of information that our Web site may provide to your browser while you are at our site. Bizztec Online products and services supply your browser with cookies that contain a unique identifier used to better understand Web site usage in the aggregate so that we know what areas of our site users prefer (e.g., based on the number of visits to those areas). You may receive additional cookies when you request a service through this site. These additional cookies are used as described in the section Web Site and Bizztec Online Server Usage Data.

If you simply want to browse, you do not have to accept cookies from our site, although choosing not to accept cookies could limit your ability to use certain areas of the Web site. Should you decide, however, that you would like to request a service and you have modified your browser settings not to accept cookies, you will need to re-set your browser to accept the cookies that we send. Most browsers are defaulted to accept and maintain cookies.

When sign up for Bizztec Online services, you will receive a cookie as part of the personal identification process. This cookie will be used to confirm your identity each time you wish to access one of our services. The cookie enables you to go from screen to screen without being repeatedly asked to authenticate your identity

 

Web Beacons. Web beacons (also known as single-pixel or clear GIFs) are graphical images that we may use to set and access cookies as described in the section Cookies. Web beacons allow us to determine which pages and features of our site are accessed by our users, as described in the Web Site and Bizztec Online Server Usage Data. In this way we can determine what areas of our site are most useful to you. Web beacons are also used when we send you e-mail, as described in the section E-Mail Messaging.
Links to the Internet. Newer versions of Bizztec Online software are "Internet enabled," allowing us to deliver products, services and information via the World Wide Web. In providing these services, your Bizztec Online software will sometimes link to Web sites on the Internet after you click on a link or a message within the Bizztec Online software. Links leading to the Internet are distinguished by a lightning-bolt icon. After clicking on one of those links, you will pass through an Bizztec Online server before being "re-directed" onto the Internet. This allows Bizztec Online to send you to the proper Web site even if the destination Web site has changed locations. We store which message you clicked on and its location within the software prior to linking you to the Internet. Bizztec Online servers register the Web site you request from within the software. Bizztec Online does not register your surfing behavior after that point.
Web Site and Bizztec Online Server Usage Data. Our Web site — as well as servers used to support Internet enabled services from within our software product — track usage data, including, for example, your IP address, your browser type and version, which pages you view, which page, if any, linked you to our site, and which link, if any, you follow off of our site. We use this data in the aggregate to better understand Web site and product activity to improve our offerings. We may also use this data to provide you a more personalized Web site experience, assistance with technical support questions, and to send you special offers, product and service updates, or other promotional materials that are relevant and tailored to your interests. If you do not wish to receive these offers or promotions please contact us.We do not share your information with outside companies for their promotional use. We do not track URLs that you type into your browser, nor do we track you across the Internet once you leave our site.

More on our general information practices:

Mandatory and Optional Information. We identify what information is necessary to fulfill your request. If you choose not to provide mandatory information, we will not be able to provide the service you are requesting.
Bizztec Online Partners and Co-branded or Third-Party Sites. Some of the products and services we offer are provided by Bizztec Online's business partners. To fulfill your request for such services, we will forward your customer information to our partner, as necessary. When offering partner services on an Bizztec Online or a co-branded site, the partner who will be receiving the information will be clearly identified. The Bizztec Online products and services may provide links to third-party Web sites, such as those of our business partners and online advertisers. On these sites either Bizztec Online and/or its partners may collect information about you. Bizztec Online is not responsible for the actions of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies to learn more about what, why and how they collect and use personally identifiable information.

We may also enter into "joint marketing" relationships with carefully selected partners who offer products or services that may be of interest to you. When we do, they are prohibited from using any of your personal information for anything outside the joint venture, unless you choose to give them your information or become their customer. Our contracts with them protect the confidentiality of the limited information we share with them.

E-Mail Messaging. When sending you e-mail we may use an image called a single pixel GIF, that allows us to format messages tailored to your computer's capabilities. We also use this technology to determine, in the aggregate, the number of people who open our e-mails. When you initiate a response by clicking on a link within an e-mail message, you are re-directed onto the internet. We then record your individual response to help us deliver information that is more relevant to your interests.
Bizztec Online and its Subsidiaries. Bizztec Online and its subsidiaries may exchange customer data with each other to fulfill your request or to provide you with information about other products and services.
Service Providers. In some cases, we will use or work with service providers such as consultants, temporary workers, third party software developers, or outsourcers to complete a business process or provide a service on our behalf. For example, we may use service providers to deliver products, offer online software applications, or send e-mails. When we use service providers, we may need to share your personally identifiable information. Service providers are strictly prohibited from using your personally identifiable information for purposes other than to act on our behalf.
Service Alerts and Critical Notices. Although we respect and honor the privacy preferences you have expressed, we may nevertheless contact you to inform you of specific changes that may impact your ability to use this service or for other critical non-marketing purposes, such as bug alerts. We may also contact you to respond to your specific requests or to clarify the order information you provided to us.
Contests, Sweepstakes and Surveys. From time to time, we may offer you the option to participate in contests, sweepstakes, or surveys. If you would like to participate, we may ask you for contact information, preferences, or other information. This information may be used to conduct research, improve our offerings, or award prizes. Our contest or sweepstakes may have separate rules and we will identify how the information that you supply will be used in each case.
Newsletters. We provide you the opportunity to subscribe to e-mail newsletters and other e-mail communications. You may unsubscribe by following the instructions provided in each e-mail newsletter.
Submitting Feedback. Using our Web site, you can ask us questions and share comments with us. Through our Feedback form, we provide you a chance to send specific questions or comments and we request, at your option, a name and e-mail address, so that we may respond to your inquiry. All submissions through this form are treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary, and may be published or used by Bizztec Online, without your personal information, for other purposes.
Change of Control. Your personally identifiable information may be transferred in connection with a sale, merger, transfer, exchange or other disposition (whether of assets, stock or otherwise) of all or a portion of a business of Bizztec Online and/or its subsidiaries. You will have the opportunity to opt out of further secondary use of your information following any change of control.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy. If we plan to make significant changes to any of our privacy policies or practices with respect to how we use personally identifiable information, we'll post those changes to the Bizztec Online. com Web site 30 days before they take effect.
Legal Disclosures. In some cases we may be required to disclose certain information to comply with a legal process, such as a court order, subpoena, search warrant, or law enforcement request.
