Habeas Privacy Policy

The following statement discloses consumer privacy practices for the website www.habeas.com and services portals associated with the online services offered to licensed users by Habeas, Inc. (collectively, "Habeas Websites"). Habeas may update its policy from time to time without notice, so please check back periodically.

Privacy Policy updates will be published on the Habeas website and/or user portal.

Service Partners
Through links on the Habeas website and user services portals, you may interact with a number of Service Partners with whom Habeas has a relationship to provide information and/or commercial e-mail services to its customers and end users. In general, personal information provided to Habeas will be protected by such partners by requirements at least as strict as Habeas's own privacy policies. However, Habeas is not responsible for the privacy practices of our Service Partners. As you visit their Websites and /or use their services, we encourage you to read their privacy statements, as they may differ from ours in some particulars.

Personal Information
Habeas operates email services via the Habeas Website for organizations ranging from small businesses to major enterprise customers and ISPs, Habeas understands its customers' need to protect personal and account information. In providing Habeas and Habeas Service Partner services to you, personal information may be gathered, tracked or used, to provide you with services and to suggest ways in which you can enhance the use of the Habeas Websites.

In most cases, you will be asked to provide personal and account information for each service as appropriate for Habeas to provide the service in a secure environment to you. This may include name, address, business, e-mail, US Mail, telephone, facsimile, or other information necessary to provide effective services, maintenance and support to your account and end users.

Requested Information
We request and use personal and customer information when you create an account, authorize end users, request or operate a Habeas service, create and publish a data report, correspond with us or engage in other activities on our Websites. For example, if you request technical support online or via telephone, we will ask you for information necessary to authenticate you as a customer or end user, and to provide the requested support, such as your name, address and information about your computer hardware, software and the nature of the problem you are experiencing.

We also maintain logs to track usage of the Habeas Websites by end users and to track maintenance and support dialogues with end users and customers. Providing such information is completely voluntary, and while individuals are under no obligation to provide such information to Habeas, our customers may not get the full benefit of our products, services and support without providing such information.

How We Use the Information We Gather and Track
In many cases, you decide whether to authorize any activity that requests personal information. If you do not wish to provide the requested information, however, you may not be able to complete the activity. This includes operating Habeas services online, as well as support and maintenance with you.

We use personal and account information in the following ways:

1. To provide you with information about the Habeas Websites, newsletters, informative emails, and research on future product ideas or improvements;
2. To assist us in providing end user support and account maintenance information;
3. To provide you access to Service Partner services and information that you have requested;
4. To assist us in creating better products and services to meet your future needs;
5. To provide you with access to services or otherwise engage in activities, such as protect testing or evaluation, that you select on the Habeas Websites;

With Whom We May Share Your Information
From time to time, unless we have stated otherwise, we may provide certain information to selected Service Partners in order to effectively provide the product or service requested. For example, in providing ISP mediation services for our customers, we may need to share information about the email campaign practices of your end users with support personnel at Internet abuse desks. Habeas limits the provision of personally identifying information to a minimum in handling such matters, and does so only under a services agreement with your consent.

In addition, Habeas may from time to time retain the services of outside contractors and Service Partners to provide and/or host online services for our customers. They may be used to provide online maintenance and technical support or perform other services for us. We require that these contractors keep the personal information of customers secure and confidential. We also require that these contractors and Service Partners use your personal and account information only on behalf of Habeas and/or to suggest enhancements to your use of the Habeas Websites.

If you prefer that we not provide your information to our Service Partners, you may let us know by using one of the methods described in this policy.

Legal Disclosures
Please be advised that in certain instances, it may be necessary for Habeas to disclose your personal information to government officials or otherwise as required by our legal obligations. This could include a court proceeding that requires us to disclose such information.

Limiting the Use of Personal Information
Habeas provides a number of ways for you to 'opt-out' of receiving additional information from us or having us provide your personal information to our Service Partners. We may offer you these choices at the time you give us your information and/or at the time you access Habeas online service portals.

If you would like to change your user preferences and account information, you may contact Habeas and/or access the administrative pages for your account on the applicable Habeas Website.

If you do not wish to continue receiving any online promotional communications from Habeas, such as e-mail or online newsletters, you can opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to the unsubscribe in the subject line in the email or changing your communication preferences on the administrative pages for your account.

Security and Quality of Personal Information

Since Habeas is a global company, we provide company information to our worldwide offices. The personal information that you have provided to us may be transferred to other Habeas servers around the world.
