Privacy Policy of Yuval's Websites

This statement is to testify our deep commitment to respect and protect your privacy. Yuval feels very strongly about privacy rights and is personally committed to ensure that each and every one of the sites he controls abide to your rights. This policy applies to all of Yuval's own web sites ("Services"). For third party websites operated by Yuval, check their privacy policy.

NONE of your personally identifiable information will EVER be willfully disclosed to ANY third party without your prior EXPLICIT consent. Below is more information outlining our continued support for the responsible management of consumer information.

Access to your information / your account

You have unrestricted access at any time to review, modify and remove your personally identifiable information stored by the Services. At the moment you can do so by sending a request to our privacy desk. On some systems you can access this directly, with a password. In the event that you forget your password, it will be e-mailed to the e-mail address on file.

Sharing of collected information

We will not share your personally identifiable information with any third party without your explicit consent. Some things are not for sale - your trust in us is one of them. Please be aware, however, that we will release specific personally identifiable information if required to do so in order to comply with a valid legal process. Anonymous information such as aggregate user statistics will be shared at any time with relevant parties and with the public.

e-Commerce

Should you engage in e-Commerce transactions with us, we will make every reasonable effort to give you a good shopping experience. We will only transmit commercially sensitive information such as credit card number over secured encrypted transmission. We will not store commerciallly sensitive information on our servers for any longer than necessary to complete the transaction.

Consumer Information

You can visit general areas of our Sites without revealing any personal information. Specific areas might require you to enter personally identifiable information (like your e-mail address). You will be made aware of the use we will make of it so that you can knowingly decide whether to provide the information or not. Some of the Services might not work without the specific information. We value and honor the privacy of personally identifiable information entrusted to us and we are committed at safeguarding and protecting the personal information you provide to us.

The servers automatically collect some types of non-personally identifiable information such as the IP addresses used to connect to our Services, or the type of device used. This information is used to understand the use of the Services and improve them. For example to identify and correct broken links, or plugin usage for multi-media display.

E-Mail and other contact information

Your e-mail or other contact information will be used only to provide you with the services you requested, with two exceptions:

If we find a significant issue with a product or service you have registered that requires immediate attention, for your protection we might contact you despite your preference not to be contacted as the situation warrants.

We may periodically ask your permission to provide you with services. We will not provide such services unless you grant us permission.

You can change your contact preferences at any time by following the instructions that are clearly posted in each mailing. If you feel that we sent you an e-mail you did not want to receive, please let our privacy desk know.

Under no circumstances will we provide your email address to any third party except as required by a valid legal process.

Links to other sites

The Services may link to or embed resources from other sites which are not under our control. These other sites may send their own cookies to you, collect data, or solicit personal information. Please read carefully the privacy policy of these sites as it is likely to differ from ours. We are not responsible for your interaction with these sites.

Cookies

Cookies are an efficient technical solutions to an early problem of the web ("maintaining state"). Unfortunately, the abuse through short-sighted, careless and respectless marketers fueled aversion toward cookies in the general public.

A cookie is a small piece of information that your browser stores on behalf of a site. This information is made available to the site each time a resource from the site is requested.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If you do not want the benefit of cookies, you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. There are tools to selectively accept cookies only from sites you trust. We recommend using such a tool. Please consult your web browser's documentation for more information.

We may use cookies to maintain the state of a session or to save your preferences. Therefore, some parts of the Services may not function properly if you refuse cookies.

We value your trust in us and will not disclose our cookies to third parties except as required by a valid legal process.

Web beacons

Web beacons, also known as "one pixel GIFs" are a complimentary tool to cookies. A resource from a third party site is integrated in a webpage or an HTML-email so that this third party site is notified when the webpage is viewed.

We might use web beacons to tell us when a message is opened and what type of format the recipient can use (plain text or HTML). We do not use web beacons for other purposes.

No guarantee

While this Privacy Statement expresses our standards for maintenance of private data, we are not in a position to guarantee that the standards will always be met. There may be factors beyond our control that may result in disclosure of data. As a consequence, we disclaims any warranties or representations relating to maintenance or nondisclosure of private information.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We review this Privacy Policy periodically to adapt to changing legal and industry standards. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion to make modifications, changes or updates to this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page and we will take all reasonable care to ensure that you are aware of them. Your personal information will not be subject to the new Policy until you explicitely accept it. You will be offered at least the choice to accept the changed policy or remove your personal information. Removing your personal information will terminate your use of the Services. Changes will be consistently documented on this page. Relevant earlier releases will be made available.
