What Information Do We Collect And How Do We Use It?
When you visit our Web site you may provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis and Web site use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web site.
Information You Explicitly Provide
In order to establish your account or to place any orders for our products and services, you will be asked to provide certain personally identifiable information to us, such as your name, mailing and email address, phone number, mobile phone number, carrier name, and a credit card number and expiration date. We will use that information to communicate with you concerning any order you may submit and to process, carryout and bill you for products or services you may request from time to time. We may also use this information to make improvements to our services or to customize or improve your service experience. In any event, we will not share your personally identifiable information with any third parties without giving you the opportunity to opt-out, except as expressly described in the “Third Party Service Providers” section of this Privacy Policy. We use aggregate non-personal information (i.e. information that does not include personally identifiable data) for statistical analysis of user behavior, product and service development, content improvement and marketing, promotional and advertising purposes. We may also make that aggregate non-personal information available to select third party partners.
We strive to comply with all applicable laws around the globe that are designed to protect your privacy. Although legal requirements may vary from country to country, we intend to adhere to the principles set forth in this Privacy Policy even if we transfer your personal information from your country to other countries that may not require an “adequate” level of protection for your personal information as a matter of law.
Information We Automatically Collect
Cookies and Invisible Gifs (also known as “Clear Gifs,” “Web Bugs” and “Tracker Gifs”)
Generally speaking, we use cookies and invisible gifs to track users of the services provided on though our site (the “Service”). A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Web site, that site’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. When you visit our site, we assign you a unique User ID and store it on your computer in the form of a cookie (unless your browser’s cookie support has been disabled). Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies that originate from their sites. We have no access or control over those cookies. Through the use of cookies, User IDs, and invisible gifs, we are able to optimize the performance and functionality of our site, and to personalize our site for you and present you with content and service offers specific to your interests.
Disabling Cookies If you are uncomfortable with the idea of your information being stored in cookies, we recommend disabling cookie support in your browser, though please understand this may limit the performance and functionality of GlobeTask’s website. Your browser documentation will provide specific procedures for disabling cookie support.
IP Address and Web Server Logs
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes Web server logs to collect information about how our Web site is used. Information gathered through Web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites visited just before and just after our Web site. We, our advertisers and ad serving companies may also use small technology or pieces of code to determine which advertisements and promotions users have seen and how users responded to them.
We analyze IP addresses in the aggregate for system administration purposes and to gather broad demographic information. We do not link IP addresses to your computer’s User ID, with the following exception: when you place an order using our online order and checkout process we record your computer’s IP address with your order to help us identify fraudulent credit card use. We may share this information with the financial institution that issued the credit card with which an order was placed, or with law enforcement authorities if we determine, or are notified, that the use of the credit card was fraudulent.
What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site?
If you entered GlobeTask’s website by clicking a link or promotion on another website, or if you used a site that provides universal registration services to sign up for our site, we will store the ID of that affiliate site in our database along with your computer’s User ID. We do this to ensure that the affiliate site receives proper credit for any subsequent order you might place. We may also use this information in conjunction with your activities on our site to help us identify what offers and services may be of interest to you. We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from our Web site nor the information or content contained therein. In many cases, links to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Web site to another Web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect regarding such site. Your browsing and interaction on any other Web site, including Web sites which have a link on our Web site, is subject to that Web site’s own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.
Third Party Service Providers
We currently employ, and intend to employ in the future other companies and individuals to perform one or more functions or services on our behalf. Examples include performing service requested through our site, fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments (including providing third party service providers with your credit card information to allow them to effect charges as need to fulfill you service or product request), and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Otherwise we never sell, rent or disclose your personal information to any third parties unless we have your express permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the disclosure is required to comply with valid legal processes (subpoenas, warrants) or as required by law. However, we will share your personal information only with our agents, representatives, service providers, and contractors for limited purposes, including fulfilling you orders; providing services, offering certain products and services in connection with this Site; communicating to you; enhancing and improving your site experience; preventing fraud; and completing payment method processing. Other than for the reasons described above, we will never pass on your personal information to a third party without your consent. We may share aggregated demographic and statistical information with our partners. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person. We may also transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, acquisitions or any dissolution.

We provide you with the opportunity to opt-out of receiving newsletters and other promotional communications from GlobeTask. To discontinue your receipt of such newsletters and communications, you can you can send an email with your request to info@globetask.com.

Please be sure to include your customer number and email address with all correspondence. Once your account is cancelled you will no longer receive communications from us; however, we will keep your account information in our database for record-keeping purposes only.
Security
We take commercially reasonable precautions to protect your information both online and off-line. All information we collect from you are stored by us on secure computers housed within secure, professionally serviced facilities. Some of the information you submit is encrypted and is protected with leading encryption software – SSL (Secured Socket Layers) SSL, 128 bit encryption services the web security standard created and approved by Thawte. Pages utilizing this technology will have URLs that start with HTTPS instead of HTTP. While on a secure page, such as our registration form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just ‘surfing’. Moreover, additional encryption methods are added to protect highly sensitive data such as credit card numbers, so that even a physical break-in to our database would not compromise this data. Please contact info@globetask.com if you have any questions or concerns.
We are committed to continually seeking to enhance our security procedures as new technology becomes available. While we make every effort to ensure that your personal information is secure on our system, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Email is not recognized as a secure medium of communication. For this reason, we request that you do not send private information to us by email.
Your Consent
By using our Web site you consent to our collection and use of both your personal information and web site usage information on an aggregate basis, all as described in this Privacy Policy. If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on our Web site to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to update, modify or change this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice to you. Your use of the Site following any such update, modification or change constitutes your unconditional agreement to follow and be bound by this Privacy Policy as updated, modified or changed.
