Privacy Policy.
Terms of use:
("iBrowz" or "We"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Intouch
Group, Inc., is the owner and operator of IBrowz®, and is pleased to welcome
you to the web site for the IBrowz® service (the "Web Site"). We
are very proud of the products and services we offer and hope your mobile
experience, whether for personal or business reasons, will be enjoyable and
productive.
The IBrowz Web Site features or may feature text, graphics, files, audio,
video, applications, and other data/information (the "Content"),
as well as products (e.g., software, music, etc.) for sale or demonstration
purposes ("Products"), and services (the "Services").
Your use of the IBrowz Web Site, including the Content, Products, or Services,
is subject to and conditioned upon your agreement to these terms and conditions
and any future modifications (the "Web Site Terms of Use"). Your
agreement to the Web Site Terms of Use is demonstrated by accessing or using
the Web Site, including, without limitation, browsing, downloading/printing
Content, or any other interaction with the Web Site. If you do not agree
to any of the Web Site Terms of Use, you are not authorized to use the Web
Site, Content, Products, or Services.
To the extent there are other terms and conditions, operating rules, or
policies that specifically apply to the use of certain Content, Products,
or Services on the Web Site (e.g., the IBrowz Terms of Service), those terms
and conditions shall govern and take precedence with respect to that activity.
From time to time, we will change the Web Site Terms of Use. We will use
reasonable means (for example a "Modified" logo in the footer of
the home page) to provide notice of changes, and we will provide a "last
modified" date on this page so you can track changes. You agree these
forms of notice are reasonable and sufficient, and your continued use of
the Web Site after such notice has been posted constitutes your acceptance
of any changes. Therefore, we recommend you check this page periodically
for updates.
Irrespective of our right to modify the Terms of Use, we reserve the right
to modify or discontinue the operation of the Web Site, temporarily or permanently,
with or without notice. You agree that iBrowz shall not be liable to you
for any modification to or discontinuance of the Web Site.
PRIVACY STATEMENT
We understand privacy is a concern. iBrowz works with an independent third
party to create and maintain privacy practices that we feel strike a fair
balance between your needs as a consumer and the needs of our business. If
you are a user of the IBrowz service, you have already read and agreed to
the Privacy Statement. If you are not an IBrowz user, your use of the Web

GOVERNING LAW/JURISDICTION AND ARBITRATION

personal jurisdiction. The arbitration will be conducted under the Commercial
Dispute Resolution Procedures of the American Arbitration Association (July
1, 2003). The award resulting from such arbitration shall be final and binding
on the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing and pending the completion
of arbitration, either party may request injunctive or other equitable relief

rights and/or property at any court, within the aforementioned geographic
area, having jurisdiction, without first resorting to arbitration.
GENERAL TERMS

THEN SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE DEEMED MODIFIED TO THE MINIMUM EXTENT NECESSARY
TO MAKE IT COMPLY WITH THE APPLICABLE STATUTE OR LAW OF SUCH JURISDICTION,
AND THE REMAINING PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL CONTINUE IN FULL FORCE

Privacy Statement:
iBrowz, the owner and operator of IBrowz�, is committed to safeguarding
your privacy online. We have posted this privacy policy to help you understand
how personally identifiable information you submit, and non-personally identifiable
information iBrowz gathers from your use of IBrowz, will be treated. In this
Privacy Statement, we refer to the IBrowz website (www.getiBrowz.com) and
the related technology, which together give you access to 1,000s of content,
service and application providers through your handheld device, as either
the "Service" or "IBrowz". Please read on to learn more
about our commitment to your privacy.
iBrowz is a licensee of the TRUSTe Privacy Program. TRUSTe is an independent,
non-profit organization whose mission is to build users' trust and confidence
in the Internet by promoting fair information use practices. To demonstrate
our support of this movement, we are posting our information practices for
you and have agreed to have them reviewed for compliance by TRUSTe. The TRUSTe
Privacy Program does not cover information that may be collected through
software downloaded from the site. Questions you might have that are answered
in this Privacy Statement include:
What personally identifiable information of yours is collected through the
Service ?
The organization collecting the information ?
How the information is used ?
With whom the information may be shared ?
What choices are available to you regarding collection, use and distribution
of the information ?
The kind of security procedures that are in place to protect the loss, misuse
or alteration of information under iBrowz's control ?
How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information ?
If you feel we are not abiding by our posted Privacy Statement, you should
first contact iBrowz by sending an email to: privacy@getiBrowz.com. If your
inquiry is not satisfactorily addressed, you should then contact TRUSTe at
www.truste.org/watchdog.html. TRUSTe will then serve as a liaison to resolve
your concerns.
Personally Identifiable Information
Personally identifiable information can only be collected when you provide
it. iBrowz collects personally identifiable information about you during
the registration process for the Service. Currently, the personally identifiable
information collected during the Service registration process is limited
to name and e-mail address. After registering, you may also choose to provide
personally identifiable information in the course of using the Service. For
example, you may provide your name and address for a purchase; or your e-mail
address in response to a promotion on the Service. You are required to provide
the personally identifiable information requested during the registration
process in order to subscribe to the Service. You may also be required to
provide personally identifiable information to receive other products or
services. However, you always have the option to refuse to provide the requested
personally identifiable information, but this will prevent you from being
able to register for the Service and may prevent you from obtaining other
desired products or services.
iBrowz will not sell, rent, or make your personally identifiable information
available to a third party without your consent. You agree that iBrowz may
disclose personally identifiable information as described below:
When you provide your consent (e.g., through this Privacy Statement);
As necessary to maintain/operate the Service, or to provide you with a product
or service you've requested (subject to agreements of confidentiality and
restrictions on use by the other company);
As needed to enforce the web site Terms of Use or the IBrowz Terms of Service,
or otherwise protect the rights/interests of iBrowz, IBrowz users, or any
third party;
When we have a good faith belief that the law or any legal process requires
disclosure; or
If a company acquires all or substantially all of iBrowz's assets or in a
merger or acquisition, but only if such company agrees to abide by this Privacy
Statement;
In order to make your use of the Service more enjoyable, iBrowz will use
personally identifiable information internally to customize the information
we display or send to you; to provide you with the information, service,
or goods you have requested; to e-mail you or otherwise tell you about new
products or promotions offered by iBrowz or its strategic partners that we
feel may interest you (you may opt-out of receiving e-mails during registration
for the Service or after registering as described below); and to contact
you with important news about the Service or your IBrowz account (sorry,
no opt-out).
Non-personally Identifiable Information
iBrowz also collects non-personally identifiable information, such as general
interest category preferences, marital status, gender, age, education, job
title, household income, type of residence, zip code, and country of residence,
during the Service registration process and throughout your use of IBrowz.
You are required to provide the requested demographic information in order
to register for the Service. This type of information, while it may provide
a general profile of a user, does not allow iBrowz to identify you personally
(e.g., by knowing your zip code or that you live in the U.S., we cannot contact
or identify you personally). iBrowz uses this information to get a general
idea of who is using the Service, how they are using it, and to support marketing
initiatives that keep the base IBrowz service free. iBrowz and its partners,
analyze non-personally identifiable information to determine which content
partner channels or other aspects of the Service are popular and which are
not, to tailor our users' visit to the IBrowz website and use of the Service,
and to introduce users to new IBrowz channels that may interest them. iBrowz
also uses this information to generate statistical reports we share with
strategic partners, advertisers, and content providers, including channel
operators, but again, this information is made up of anonymous statistical
data.
Collection of Non-personally Identifiable Information (IP Addresses/Cookies/Web
Bugs)
iBrowz may track your domain name, which typically identifies your Internet
Service Provider, or IP address, a number recorded by our servers that is
used to identify your computer, to help gather and track non-personally identifiable
information. We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the IBrowz
website, track users' movement, and gather broad demographic information
about your use of the Service. Neither IP addresses or domain names are linked
to personally identifiable information.
iBrowz and its content partners may also utilize "cookie" technology
in connection with the Service. A cookie is a small amount of data sent to
your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive, your handheld device,
or on the Service for record keeping purposes. Cookies are used, among other
things, to automatically remind us who you are when you return to the IBrowz
website and to generally help improve the functionality of the IBrowz website
and the Service. A cookie also allows us to store and access your account
preferences and to customize your web space. For example, we use cookies
for marketing purposes to make sure that the content and advertising sent
to you is specific to your interests and demographics. If you do not wish
to have cookies placed on your personal computer, you can disable cookies
through your Internet browser. However, disabling cookies will prevent you
from fully experiencing the Service and accessing most, if not all, of the
IBrowz website.
In addition to cookies, we may use the infamous "web bug", otherwise
known as a 1-by-1 GIF, or clear GIF. What is a "web bug" ? Typically,
it's a 1-by-1 pixel or graphic on a web page, not visible to the user. When
a page containing a web bug is opened or viewed, it causes certain information
to be conveyed to a designated iBrowz server. We currently use the web bug
in connection with our e-mail newsletters, initially to determine whether
the recipient's e-mail program is capable or reading HTML formatted e-mails.
Once this determination is made, if you are receiving the HTML version of
one of our monthly newsletters, or other HTML e-mail communication from us,
it may contain a web bug. When viewed, we receive information concerning
the time the e-mail was viewed, the IP address of the computer from which
it was viewed, all of which allows us to determine whether the e-mail was
opened and provides the non-personally identifiable information above. This
information may then be aggregated and used to assess the effectiveness of
these communications.
Requests for Information/Contests/Surveys
From time-to-time we may request information from you through the Service.
The requests may take various forms such as a request for information (e.g.,
submit your name and e-mail address to receive a white paper), a response
to a survey, or entering a contest ("Requests for Information").
Responding to these Requests for Information is voluntary (although may be
required in order to receive something that is offered), and the user therefore
has a choice whether or not to disclose the requested information.
Requested information may include a combination of personally identifiable
information (such as a name or e-mail address), and demographic information
(such as zip code or age). We use personally identifiable information for
the express purpose stated at the time of submission, and if no express purpose
is stated, then for the implied purpose of the request, and otherwise in
accordance with this Privacy Statement. For example, we would use an e-mail
address to communicate requested product information, or we would use an
e-mail address to enter you in a contest and contact you about a prize.
Unless otherwise noted, demographic information received in response to
a Request for Information, including any opinions expressed, will be used
and analyzed internally and may be disclosed to third parties, however, any
information/responses disclosed will be demographic in nature and will not
be attributed to any specific user.
Third Party Collection of Information
In certain instances iBrowz enters into strategic relationships with third
parties to provide products and services in connection with the Service.
For example, as of the posting of this statement, Yahoo! and Handango host
electronic store front pages, ordering systems, and order data for iBrowz.
In connection with providing the products or services, these third parties
may collect a combination of personally and non-personally identifiable information.
If one of these third parties has an independent right to use the information
they collect (as opposed to simply collecting it on behalf of iBrowz), they
will post a privacy policy, and their use of the information they collect
will be subject to that policy. If the collection of information is subject
to a third party privacy statement, its terms and the third party's ability
to use any information submitted may differ materially from this Privacy
Statement, and you should review the third party statement to insure you
are comfortable with their privacy practices.
In some instances iBrowz may act as an intermediary (i.e., collecting information
on behalf of a third party) or may contract with an intermediary to collect
information on behalf of iBrowz (e.g., we may contract with a third party
to host a survey for us). Where iBrowz is an intermediary (e.g., on device
ads with e-mail submits) and you are submitting information to a third party,
we will indicate that you are about to provide information to a third party
and the use of the information is subject to the third party's privacy policy.
It is your responsibility to review the third party privacy policy. Where
iBrowz contracts with an intermediary we will not notify you unless the third
party has a right to use the information for a purpose other than to assist
iBrowz.
Channel Privacy/Links to Third Party Web Sites
The Service makes it possible for our Content Partners to create "channels" through
which you may access an incredible variety of content, applications, and
services, and in doing so exchange information with these Content Partners.
This Privacy Statement does not govern any exchange of information between
you and any Content Partner. iBrowz does not monitor, and is not responsible
for, the privacy and data use policies of its Content Partners. We recommend
you review their policies (likely to be found on their web sites) prior to
accessing, but especially before sharing any personally identifiable information.
Similarly, this Privacy Statement does not govern the privacy practices of
any third party web site to which you might link from the IBrowz website.
While iBrowz does not knowingly collect or use personally identifiable information
exchanged between you and any Content Partner, we may track general use data,
such as the sequence in which you view portions of a channel (sometimes called "click-streams")
and other non-personal information. This information is used to improve the
Service and may also be shared with Content Partners to help them improve
their content and services.
Opt-Out
iBrowz does allow you to choose not to receive promotional e-mail communications
from iBrowz and its strategic partners. Although again, you cannot opt-out
of receiving important information from iBrowz about the Service and the
use and maintenance of your IBrowz account. Users may opt-out during the
initial registration process, or later by adjusting their account preferences
within the My Account area of the IBrowz website (explained below). In addition,
every promotional e-mail sent by iBrowz or its strategic partners will contain
instructions on how to unsubscribe from that particular mailing (an exception
being one-time e-mails which will indicate you do not need to opt-out). The
'unsubscribe' instructions found in any e-mail will, however, only pertain
to that particular type of mailing (i.e. newsletters, surveys, etc.) and
will not remove you from all promotional mailings sent by iBrowz or its strategic
partners.
Correcting/Updating Personal Information
We've made managing your IBrowz account easier. Once you are logged in to
IBrowz, simply click on the "My Account" link at the top of the
right hand navigation bar, and you will be taken to an index of pages that
allows you to manage your IBrowz account and related preferences.
Security
Protecting client privacy and personal information is a top priority. We
make significant efforts to ensure the privacy of all personally identifiable
information you provide to us. Access to all user information is restricted.
Only employees whose jobs require accessing user information are granted
database access or administrator level accounts on servers that contain such
information. All servers containing user information are kept behind locked
doors in secure data centers and require a secure login to access them remotely.
iBrowz uses password protection, industry standard network encryption (128-bit
SSL), access logs, and system monitoring to safeguard the confidentiality
of all user information. In addition, iBrowz reviews its security procedures
on a semi-annual basis. Nonetheless, due to the inherent nature of the Internet
and related technology, we do not guarantee the protection of information
under our control against loss, misuse or alteration.
Notification of Changes
Your personally identifiable information is subject to the Privacy Statement
in place at the time you submit such information. iBrowz may modify this
Privacy Statement from time to time, but these modifications will only apply
to information submitted after notice of the change has been given. Typically,
we will post notice of a change on the IBrowz website. If we substantially
change our Privacy Statement as it relates to your personally identifiable
information, we will notify you by e-mail using the e-mail address we have
on file, so it's important to keep this information current. If at any point
we would like to use personally identifiable information you previously submitted
in a manner inconsistent with the applicable Privacy Statement, we will seek
your approval.
Contacting the Web Site
If you have any questions about this Privacy Statement, please contact us
at privacy@getibrowz.com. Incidentally, any personally identifiable information
provided in connection with inquiries related to this Privacy Statement will
be used solely for the purpose of responding to the inquiry.
