The following provides details about our privacy
policy, the information we collect on our Web site, marketing emails,
and opting-out of marketing communications from International Orange Strategies:
When you browse iosus.com and have not registered for any
online service from International Orange Strategies, we do not collect personally identifiable
information such as your name, address, phone number, and e-mail
address.
However, we track how our site is used by both visitors and registered
clients. One way we track is by using a small string of text that
is sent to your browser known as a "cookie." Cookies collect
information that includes the server your computer is logged onto,
your browser type (for example, Microsoft® Internet Explorer),
and whether you responded to a International Orange Strategies banner ad from outside
our site or through an e-mail link. A cookie cannot retrieve any
other data from your hard drive, pass on computer viruses, or capture
your e-mail address or any other personally identifiable information.
Using cookies enables us to recognize your computer if you or someone
else using your computer returns to our site, and to keep track
of the pages on our site that you or another user of your computer
visit, and whether or not you or another user of your computer respond
to certain banner ads or special offers. We use this information
to help us present more relevant offers and information.
You can adjust your browser settings so that you are informed when
a cookie is being placed on your computer. You can also set your
browser to decline or accept all cookies. However, if you choose
to register for an online service on iosus.com, you must accept
cookies in order to access International Orange Strategies site pages that enable you
to view your confidential information. These cookies are essential
for site administration and security.
Another way we track site activity is by using transparent electronic
images called "clear GIFs," "Web bugs," or "Web
beacons" on iosus.com Web pages. These images count the
number of users who visit that page from specific banner ads outside
iosus.com or through e-mail links. E-mail offers we send may
contain these electronic images to help us record who responds to
the offer and to measure the offer's effectiveness.
When you become a registered user of our Web site, you may provide
us with personal information such as your name, address, e-mail
address and telephone number. Depending on the online service in
which you choose to enroll, you may also provide additional information.
Becoming a registered user enables you to review information for
the service(s) in which you are enrolled and to perform other transactions.
After you have become a registered user on iosus.com we may
obtain additional personal information and information on your usage
of our site and the International Orange Strategies services in which you enroll.
Whether or not you are a registered user on our site, we may request
that you provide your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address,
and other personal information in order to provide a product or
service. And, if you receive an e-mail offer from International Orange Strategies, we
record whether you "click through" to view or respond
to the offer.
We use information collected on our site to process any transactions
you may conduct on our Web site and to deliver the products or services
you request. To do this, it is often necessary to share this information
with carefully selected vendors and business partners we work with.
We also use it, together with information we have about you as a
International Orange Strategies client, publicly available information, and preferences
you indicate, to customize your online experience and to provide
you with more relevant offers and updates.
We may use your e-mail address to send you the following types
of e-mail messages:
Occasional updates about our products or services, as well
as International Orange Strategies marketing offers
Regularly scheduled e-mail newsletters related to International Orange Strategies
products or services
Valuable offers from our business partners that we send you
on their behalf
Service notifications related to your business with International Orange Strategies
Via e-mail or other communications, we occasionally invite our clients to
sign up to receive optional International Orange Strategies email newsletters. We
also post sign-up forms on the International Orange Strategies Web site. Of
course, you may decline to receive e-mail offers from International Orange
Strategies at any time.
We do not share your e-mail address with other companies for them to market
their products or services to you. When we hire vendors to deliver e-mails
to you on our behalf, they cannot use your e-mail address for any other purpose.
To make our e-mail offers more relevant to you, we may use information
you provided to us in surveys, from information we have about you as a
International Orange Strategies client, and information available from external
sources such as census bureau data.
When we send e-mail to you, we may be able to identify information about your
e-mail address, such as whether you can view graphic-rich HTML e-mail. If
your e-mail address is HTML-enabled, we may choose to send you graphic-rich
HTML e-mail messages.
You may also receive e-mail offers from another company for International Orange Strategies products or services if you have actively requested that the
other company send you offers from its partners and/or advertisers. International Orange Strategies does not provide these companies with personal information
about you. To decline offers from other companies who may send offers on
our behalf, follow the instructions provided by that company.
International Orange Strategies may hire other companies to place our banner ads on
other Web sites and to perform tracking and reporting activities
("third-party advertisement servers"). They do not collect
personally identifiable information in doing this work for us, and
we do not give any personally identifiable information to them.
Third-party advertisement servers are subject to their own privacy
policies.
International Orange Strategies realizes how important security is to you, so we've
taken a number of steps to enhance the protection of personal or
confidential information sent to or from International Orange Strategies over the Internet.
First, we may require that a "secure session" be established,
using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This may be done any
time you supply or access personal or confidential information in
one of our secure online areas.
SSL technology creates a private conversation that only your computer
and International Orange Strategies systems can understand. The SSL technology encodes
information as it is being sent over the Internet between your computer
and International Orange Strategies systems, helping to ensure that the transmitted
information remains confidential.
The use of SSL requires two components: an SSL-compatible browser
and a Web server to perform the "key-exchange" that establishes
a secure connection to International Orange Strategies Web server systems. More details
on these requirements are as follows:
A Compliant Browser — In order to securely access
confidential information via the Internet, you may need a
browser with SSL capabilities. We recommend you use the latest
browser versions available to ensure you have a browser with
SSL capabilities. Examples of SSL browsers include Netscape
2.0 and above, Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.0 and above,
and the Web browser for America Online version 3.0 for Windows
and above. (Note that some older versions of browsers will
not support SSL sessions and some older versions of browsers
are not JavaScript-enabled, which means that you may not be
able to view all the features on the International Orange Strategies Web site).
A Compliant Internet Service Provider — Nearly all
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) automatically enable the
SSL session described above. If you use your company's internal
connection to access the Internet and you find you cannot
access the International Orange Strategies secure pages with an SSL browser described
above, your company may be blocking access via a "firewall."
Please speak to your firm's Internet access systems administrator
for further details on your network's Internet access.
Enabled Cookies — You also must have enabled cookies
on your browser in order to access confidential information.
If you have chosen to disable cookies on your browser, you
will not be able to access confidential information.
Some areas of the site may require the use of a user ID and password
as an additional security measure that helps protect your confidential
information. This allows International Orange Strategies to verify who you are, thereby
allowing you access to your information and preventing unauthorized
access.
When you have finished using a secure area of the International Orange Strategies Web
site, make sure you always close the browser software before leaving
your computer to minimize the possibility of anyone else viewing
your information.
In order to bring you any products and services offered on iosus.com,
we may work with carefully selected vendors and business partners.
If we have to share any information with these companies in order
to provide a product or service to you, we first conduct a careful
evaluation of their information and security systems and practices,
and require administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to
ensure the security and confidentiality of International Orange Strategies client information.
At any time, we may audit our partners and vendors to verify the
continued security of their systems and practices.
Other Internet sites that you link to from the International Orange Strategies site
or an International Orange Strategies e-mail may contain privacy provisions that differ
from the provisions of our Privacy Statement. To ensure your privacy
is protected, we recommend that you review the privacy statements
of other Internet sites you visit.
All e-mail offers and e-mail newsletters sent to you by International Orange Strategies
provide instructions on how to opt out of receiving future offers
or newsletters. These instructions are located at the bottom of
the e-mail message. You may receive separate newsletters pertaining
to different International Orange Strategies products and services. In that case, you
must reply to and decline the newsletters individually. If you opt
out, we will still send you e-mail with service updates as well
as other important information related to the International Orange Strategies online
products or services for which you have signed up.
