Privacy Policy
Effective Date: February 2, 2014
Relief Logistics values its Users and the privacy of our Users’ Personally Identifiable and Non Personally Identifiable Information (collectively “Personal Information”), and recognizes that our Users may be concerned about how we collect, use, and disclose Personal Information. Therefore, we have implemented the following Privacy Policy to govern our use of our Users’ Personal Information. By using the Web site and the Services, you are accepting the practices and activities as described in this policy.
Types of Information Collected
Personally Identifiable Information
When you register as a Site Customer, Relief Logistics collects certain Personal Information from you. Personal Information is information that can be used to identify you personally, and includes but is not limited to your name, address, phone number, and email address. Relief Logistics uses third party payment processing services and therefore does not collect credit card or other financial information.
Non Personally Identifiable Information
When you visit the Relief Logistics Web site we collect certain Non Personal Information. This is generalized information and cannot be used to easily identify you personally. Such information includes but is not limited to your IP address, your ISP, your browser type, your operating system, your clickstream patterns, the URL of the most recent Web site you visited before coming to Relief Logistics, the amount of time you spent on our site, and the pages you viewed while on our site.
Methods of Collection
Relief Logistics collects your Personal Information in several different ways. First, we collect information when you provide it to us when registering as a Site Customer or Site Viewer when you set up a profile, or when you communicate with us directly via the Relief Logistics Web site. We also employ commonly used analytic and reporting software technologies to collect certain Non Personally Identifying Information such as your IP address, your ISP, your browser type, your operating system, your clickstream patterns, the URL of the most recent Web site you visited before coming to Relief Logistics, the amount of time you spent on our site, and the pages you viewed while on our site.
Use of Personal Information
Personally Identifiable Information
Personal Identifiable Information is mainly used for Relief Logistics’s own internal purposes in order to provide the Services to you including but not limited to customer service issues, maintaining and improving the Relief Logistics Web site, and providing and improving Relief Logistics Services.
Non Personally Identifiable Information
Relief Logistics uses Non Personally Identifiable Information to track and analyze the usage and performance of the Web site and Services. Relief Logistics uses this information internally to assist in determining changes and/or upgrades to the Web site, whether to add or discontinue specific Services, and for internal market analysis purposes.
Disclosure of Personal Information
In general, we do not disclose Personal Information to third parties without your prior consent. However, we reserve the right to do so in certain limited situations as identified below:
1) Disclosure to Third Party Service Providers
In the course of providing you the Services, we may at our option use third party service providers to provide some or all of the Services you may request in your use of the Web site. An example of this would be the use of third party on line payment processing companies to process payments made by Site Customers to Relief Logistics. We make all commercially reasonable efforts to make sure that these third party vendors use your Personal Information only to the extent necessary to provide the Services to you. However, we cannot guarantee that a third party vendor will not disclose your Personal Information.
2) Disclosure of Site Customer information
In providing the services Relief Logistics will disclose to potential customers of Site Customers certain personally identifiable information that Site Customers provides to Relief Logistics for the purpose of advertising their business.
3) Disclosure to Other Third Parties
We reserve the right to disclose your Personal Information to protect or enforce Relief Logistics’s rights, or the rights of a third party, to prevent an emergency, or as may be required by law, including but not limited to, complying with subpoenas or court orders.
4) Successors in Interest
We may also disclose your Personal Information to any successor in interest to our company, including, but not limited to any third party company that may acquire or merge with Relief Logistics. In the event of a merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Relief Logistics, your Personal Information will most likely be part of the transaction. If such a transaction happens, we will notify you by the methods listed in the Terms of Service concerning the transaction and the transfer of your Personal Information.
5) Disclosure of Non Personally Identifiable Information
We may disclose any Non Personally Identifiable Information we collect to our strategic business partners, potential business partners, investors, advisers and customers. This information is usually disclosed in terms of aggregate numbers. Since the information cannot be traced back to you directly, you may not “opt out” of our use of such Non Personally Identifiable Information.
Security of Personal Information
We employ commercially reasonable technology and systems to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access and disclosure. For example, sensitive information is transmitted to us in an encrypted format using secure socket layer technology. However, no protection methods are 100% secure, and therefore we cannot guarantee the 100% security of your Personal Information. We are not responsible for any disclosure of Personal Information due to any errors in transmission of your information, or any unauthorized third party access or any other acts by third parties, or any acts or omissions beyond our reasonable control.
Public Nature of Certain Web site Content
The Services provided by Relief Logistics now or in the future may be accessible by the public. Examples of publicly accessible information include, but are not limited to Site Customer advertisements, any posts to any chat groups, forums or discussion boards hosted by Relief Logistics. We are not responsible for third parties uses of any Personal Information contained in these public disclosures.
The Use of Cookies
Relief Logistics uses “cookies” (small files placed on your hard drive) for several different purposes. We use cookies to help identify you and reduce the number of times you need to sign-in to the Web site, and to personalize and track your use of the Web site. Most cookies are session cookies, meaning they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of a session. Our use of cookies does not track or otherwise utilize any of your Personal Information.
Outbound Links
In providing much of the educational information on Relief Logistics, direct links to state and other third party web sites will navigate you away from Relief Logistics. We do not control these web sites and each web site will have its own terms of service, and privacy policy, which may not be consistent with Relief Logistics policies. Users are encouraged to examine these third party policies before using the third party web sites
