Your privacy is of the utmost importance to Inteevo. While using our service, we attempt to minimize the personal information that we need from you. We always want you to be fully informed of how this information is gathered and used. If you have any questions that are not answered by this policy, or would like to talk to us about anything in this policy, please contact through the legal issues and requests form.

What Information Does Inteevo Gather?

When you register on Inteevo, When you register as a user, we ask you to provide us with a user name, password, e-mail address information, name, location, birth year.

In addition to the information you choose to provide to us, Inteevo also collects other technical information such as IP addresses and the date and time of your visit. Administrators of each forum do have the ability to view your IP address if you post messages on their forum.

And, of course, Inteevo collects the information that you choose to provide when you make a post on one of our forums so that we can archive and display your posts. Please use caution when posting material on any forum as your posts become immediately available to the public and may be recorded and stored by anyone.

How We Use the Information

We understand that your personally identifiable information is private and confidential. That's why we want you to know what we need to offer our services to you and how we use that information. Generally, we use your personally identifiable information to provide you with our services. For example, in order to verify your registration, we use your e-mail address to send you a message after you register so that you can validate your account.

We also use registration information to ensure compliance with our Terms of Use and the law, and to better understand our user base. We use that information to improve our services to you, and may provide aggregated information to our advertisers or investors. None of this aggregated information is personally identifiable. For example, Inteevo may report to advertisers that "45% of members are female and the average age is 28".  Also, Inteevo also reserves the right to use or disclose any user information if we have reason to believe that user may be violating the law, our rights, or the rights of other Inteevo users.

Finally, Inteevo may send you messages on a regular basis through your Inbox to keep you apprised of your membership status, site developments, and to inform you of new offers.  You have the ability as well to send messages to and receive messages from other users through the forum.  You also have the ability to manage the receipt and distribution of forum messages through your Control Centre. All messages transmitted through the forum remain within the Inteevo system, and your personal information is not released to any other party.

To Whom We Disclose Information

Be assured that your personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address is not sold to others. In the interest of bringing the highest quality services to you "under one roof," however, Inteevo may form partnerships with other Web-based services. Some of these arrangements may include the sharing of some of your personal information with our partners in order to extend these services to you. You however have the opportunity to opt out of joining any of our partner services at the time of registration.

Inteevo, as well as its partner sites, may send you e-mail messages on a regular basis to keep you apprised of your membership status, site developments, and to inform you of new offers. Example of this is the Flipz newsletter and special offers from our business partners. Included in each of these messages are simple instructions on how to remove yourself from these mailings if you do not wish to receive them in the future.

Additionally, we may use third parties to help us perform services, like processing credit card information, transmitting emails in response to your requests, or other service-related functions. If these third parties require access to your personally identifiable information in order to provide their services, they will be obligated to abide by this privacy policy when handling your information.

There are some situations where we may need to disclose information to organizations or entities not described in our policy here.

How We Protect Your Information

We understand that you are providing personal information to us here at Inteevo.

It is our intention to treat your account information with the highest level of care. Along those lines, we have implemented industry standard firewall protection and password protected all of the databases that contain your information. Employees who need access to your information to perform their jobs are the only ones who receive the passwords to our members' information. Regardless of their access rights, all of our employees are required as part of their employment with us to respect and protect your private information. Grounds for not doing so as an Inteevo employee may constitute termination. You are also one of the most important aspects of our security.

In order to best protect yourself, please think twice before providing personally identifiable information on any forum.
