Privacy Policy

Celene Systems, Inc. ("Celene Systems") is committed to protecting your online privacy while providing you with the most useful and enjoyable web experience possible. While you can use many features of Celene.com (the "Web Site") anonymously, you are required to provide personal information to gain access to our premium content and services.

How We Collect and Use Anonymous Information

As part of our continuing effort to enhance the usability, discoverability, and marketing effectiveness of the Web Site, information regarding the usage of the Web Site is collected for analysis using techniques that maintain your anonymity while interacting with the Web Site. The techniques include web server log analysis and the use of web beacons.

Web Server Log Analysis

The server on which the Web Site is located collects and saves only the default information customarily logged by web server software. Such information may include the date and time of your visit, the originating IP address, and the pages and images requested.

Web Beacons

Web pages contained within the Web Site may contain electronic images often referred to as “web beacons” that allow Celene Systems to calculate the number of users who have visited those pages. Celene.com may include web beacons in promotional newsletters, bulletins, and e-mail messages in order to determine the reach and effectiveness of online marketing of products and services offered by Celene Systems.

These web beacons send information about your usage of Celene.com to a third party service provider, currently OneStat.com, which collects this information for statistical analysis by representatives of Celene.com. Data collected in this manner is used to determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, the usability and discoverability of the Celene.com web site, and email communications. Our web beacon service provider may place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit pages or emails containing a web beacon and compile anonymous information in relation to those views. Under no circumstances does Celene.com use web beacons to collect or access your personal information.

How We Collect and Use Personal Information

Registering for services on Celene.com gives you access to special information and features. The only information required is your name, e-mail address, and ZIP/postal code. With your approval, Celene Systems occasionally will send e-mail to notify you about important changes to the site, new services, and special offers from us. If you would rather not receive these e-mail notifications, you can simply indicate that preference any time you modify your account.

If you enter a contest or respond to a promotion, Celene Systems may ask for your postal address and/or phone number so we can notify contest winners and deliver promotional items. When you submit this information, we will save it in your customer profile so that you do not have to enter it again. Occasionally, we may also send you postal mail to notify you about important changes to the site, new services, and special offers from us and select third-party partners. If you would rather not receive such information via postal mail, you can indicate this when you enter your address. Additionally, you can modify your account at any time to indicate your preference.

Our Free Product Info service lets you sign up to receive e-mail product announcements and other news from third parties, including software publishers, hardware manufacturers, and service providers. You can add or remove product information topics from your personal list at any time on your Free Product Info page. Celene.com works with Postmaster Direct, the world’s leading e-mail announcement service, to prevent unauthorized use of your e-mail address and make sure you receive information only about the topics you specify.

How We Protect Your Personal Information

All personal data you enter on celene.com is encrypted with secure server software (SSL) that encodes the information before your Web browser software sends it to us. The SSL software decodes the data only after it reaches our server. Once the data reaches our site, the same state-of-the-art security software we use to guard all of our company’s essential business data protects your personal data as well.

In addition to using the most secure technology available, we work tirelessly to make sure that we use any information you provide us only in ways you have approved. We send you only the e-mail you have approved in your account information or on your e-mail subscription sign-up page. And when you sign up for Free Product Info, Postmaster Direct distributes all the announcement e-mails you request directly without ever releasing your e-mail address to a third party.

How We Use "Cookies"

"Cookies" are small pieces of information that some Web sites store on your computer's hard drive when you visit them. Like many other web sites, celene.com uses cookies to identify members so they don’t have to enter a user ID and password upon each visit. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies but allow you to modify security settings so you can approve or reject cookies on a case-by-case basis. Even if you do not use cookies, you can still access all of the features on our site by logging in manually with each visit.

What We Provide to Third Parties

While Celene Systems does not provide any third-party access to your personal information except to facilitate your own attempts to register with our partners or receive offers from select partners as mentioned elsewhere in this policy, we may provide third parties with aggregate statistics about our customers, traffic patterns, and related site information. This data reflects site usage patterns gathered during customer visits to our web site each month, but it does not contain behavioral or identifying information about any individual member unless that member has given us permission to share that information.

Children's Privacy

The Web Site is not directed to children under thirteen (13) years of age, and children under such age must not use the web site or services offered on it to submit any individually identifiable information about themselves.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Celene Systems and its members, managers, officers, employees, agents and the assigns of same, from and against any and all loss, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), claims, damages and liabilities related to or associated with your use of the Web Site and any violation of this Privacy Policy by you.
