Legal & Privacy

 

TERMS OF USE

This PrivCo User and Subscriber Agreement and Terms of Use govern your use of PrivCo and related services.

By using the PrivCo website/services, or making any purchases from PrivCo, you agree to accept and be bound by all the Terms of Use in this agreement.

1. Changes to Subscriber Agreement.

We may change the terms of this Agreement at any time by notifying you of the change in writing or electronically (including without limitation, by email or by posting a notice on the Service that the terms have been "updated"). The changes also will appear in this document, which you can access at any time by going to the Help section of a Service. You signify that you agree to be bound by such changes by using a Service after changes are made to this Agreement.

2. Privacy and Your Account.

Registration data and other information about you are subject to our Privacy Policy below. In general, your information may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country where PrivCo has facilities, and by subscribing to a Service, you consent to the transfer of information outside of your country. If your access to a Service has been provided by or through a third party (for example, your employer or an education institution where you are a student) (each, a "Third Party"), the Third Party may have provided us with information about you to enable us to provide you with access to the Service and distinguish you from other subscribers (such as your email address or name). If you access a Service using a password, you are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of that password. If you provide someone else with access to your password to a Service, they will have the ability to view information about your account and make changes through the website for the Service. Similarly, if you tell someone the answer to your security question for a Service, they will be able to request information about your account and make changes through Customer Service. You agree to notify us promptly if you change your address or email so we can continue to contact you and send any notices required hereunder. If you fail to notify us promptly of a change, then any notice we send to your old address or email shall be deemed sufficient notice.

3. Fees and Payments.

a. You agree to pay the subscription fees and any other charges incurred in connection with your user name and password for a Service (including any applicable taxes) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. If your subscription includes access to areas containing premium content or services, your access to such areas may be subject to additional fees, terms and conditions, which will be separately disclosed in such areas. We will bill all charges automatically to your credit card. Subscription fees will be billed at the beginning of your subscription or any renewal. Unless we state in writing otherwise, all fees and charges are nonrefundable. We may change the fees and charges then in effect, or add new fees or charges, by giving you notice in advance. If you want to use a different credit card or there is a change in credit card validity or expiration date, or if you believe someone has accessed a Service using your user name and password without your authorization, you must follow the procedures outlined in the Help section of the Service. You are responsible for any fees or charges incurred to access a Service through an Internet access provider or other third-party service. Customer will pay PRIVCO in accordance with the Order. Prices and product descriptions are those set forth in the Order. A late payment charge of the lesser of 1 % per month or the highest lawful rate may be applied to any outstanding balances until paid. Customer agrees to pay PrivCo all costs of collection for unpaid balances, including PrivCo's reasonable Attorney's fees.

b. Taxes: Customer will pay any applicable taxes relating to this Agreement, including sales tax where required.

Research and Subscription Purchase Terms:

4. Purchase Terms:

ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Subscription Renewal & Cancellation. Your online Premium Subscription will renew automatically, unless we terminate it in writing by providing notice to you, or terminate future renewal periods if you notify us in writing by e-mail of your decision to terminate your Subscription at the end of that Subscription Term. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of subscription fees for the renewal term to your credit card. In the event you wish to prevent an auto renewal, please send an email to cancel@privco.com any time prior to the end of the current Subscription Term and start of the next Subscription Term, stating in writing your desire to terminate your Subscription at the end of the current term.  Written Subscription agreements may have longer notice of cancellation periods, such as 30 days.  All subscriptions are for the full term reflected on the signed Order agreement and are non-cancelable prior to the end of the term.  Ending of future recurring periods also means you lose any past lower rates and would have to re-subscribe in the future should you choose to at the then current subscription rate.

Each company has differing levels of details depending on the company.  Sample reports are for illustration only and does not represent the number of data points available on every company, which varies.  Every company is unique, has longer or shorter history, has certain transactions (mergers or venture funding) while others do not. PrivCo strives to be as thorough as possible given the subject company's transaction and other history.

5. Copyright and Limitations on Use.

a. Term and Number of Licenses: Each license is for a term of either six (6) months, twelve (12) months, or twenty four (24) months beginning on the effective date of the Order, unless another term is specified in the Order or online Order Form (Order). The Service is available only for the number of users or benefiting audience members identified and described in the Order ("Authorized Users") and may not be shared with other persons or entities. An Authorized User is authorized by Customer to access the Services during the term of this Agreement and according to the terms of the Order, either online via privco.com or after the Information has been downloaded in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. PrivCo reserves the right to deny access to any and all users in excess of the number of Authorized Users specified in the Order. Only one individual may access a Service at the same time using the same user name or password, unless you purchase a Multi-User License, Account or Subscription as clearly indicated on the Order.

b. Prohibition Against Sharing: The text, graphics, images, video, metadata, data, design, organization, compilation, advertising and all other protectable intellectual property (the "Content") available through the Services are our property or the property of our advertisers and licensors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Unless you have our written consent, you may not sell, publish, distribute, retransmit or otherwise provide access to the Content received through the Services to anyone, including, if applicable, your fellow employees or students, with the exception of occasionally using the Sharing features on specific articles on the site to email or share with no more than a few persons at a time or post on a social networking site or blog with proper attribution and link back to privco.com.

c. You agree not to rearrange or modify the Content. You agree not to create abstracts from, scrape or display our content for use on another web site or service (other than headlines from our RSS Feed with active links back to the full article on the Service). You agree not to post any content removed, cut or pulled from the Services (other than headlines from our RSS Feed with active links back to the full article on the Service) to weblogs, newsgroups, mail lists or electronic bulletin boards, without our written consent, though you may post links to our articles and web pages.

d. You agree not to use the Services for any unlawful purpose. We reserve the right to terminate or restrict your access to a Service if, in our opinion, your use of the Service may violate any laws, regulations or rulings, infringe upon another person's rights or violate the terms of this Agreement. Also, we may refuse to grant you a user name that impersonates someone else, is protected by trademark or other proprietary right law, or is vulgar or otherwise offensive.

e. If applicable, upon expiration or termination of a License with respect to particular Information, Customer will immediately delete or destroy all originals and copies of the Information, as applicable, and upon request, provide PRIVCO with certification thereof.

f. Upon reasonable notice and during regular business hours, Customer will permit PRIVCO to inspect the locations at, or computer systems on which, Information is used, stored or transmitted so that PRIVCO can verify Customer's compliance with this Agreement. PRIVCO reserves the right to monitor Customer's use of the Service to ensure compliance with this Agreement and prevent fraudulent use. Such monitoring of use may include but will not be limited to determining whether or not the Service is accessed under the account from multiple computers, as well as noting downloads beyond the limit of the total number of records as may be set forth in the applicable Order or a disproportionate number of users. PRIVCO reserves the right to limit access to the Services to (i) viewing or printing using a third party web browser print function, and (ii) downloading a maximum number of records per search. In addition, Authorized Users shall be bound by any access and download limitations per search session that are internal to a Service. All download limitations will be enforced at PrivCo discretion. Customer may not make available a user name and password to a party that is not an Authorized User. Systematic access or extraction of content from the Service, including, but not limited to, the use of "bots" or "spiders," is prohibited. If such monitoring indicates you are not in compliance with this Agreement or if fraudulent activity is suspected, PRIVCO reserves the right to take such action as it deems necessary, including, but not limited to, suspension or termination of the account. PrivCo also reserves the right to bill and collect, and customer to pay, additional subscription fee for the higher level of actual use by Customer.

g. Customer shall implement and maintain security measures with respect to the Information in Customer's possession that effectively restrict access to Information only to Authorized Users with a need to know, and protect Information from unauthorized use, alteration, access, publication and distribution. In no event shall such security measures be less restrictive than those Customer employs to safeguard its most confidential information. Customer shall supply PRIVCO with a description of such security measures at PRIVCO request. In the event of an actual or suspected breach of such security measures, Customer shall notify PRIVCO within 24 hours.

h. All PrivCo accounts have caps on usage, including on number of company profile views, PDF or excel downloads, and other usage caps.  Unless explicitly stated otherwise in a written Agreement between Customer and PrivCo, these caps may be modified or reduced at any time by PrivCo at its sole discretion, with or without notice to Customer.  Online Single-User Subscription have the following usage monthly caps (re-set every 30 days): 50 Company Profile Views, 25 export rows, 25 PDF Report Downloads, and one (1) Authorized Users.  (You agree that if you share your login information or otherwise than allow more than 1 user to access your Online Single User Premium Subscription account, you agree to be charged an additional fee of $399 per month to your credit card on file per additional User and/or I.P. address accessing your account.)  Enterprise Accounts' usage caps and number of authorized users vary based on account level and client type.

PrivCo Privacy Policy

Effective as of December 25, 2010.

INTRODUCTION:

This Privacy Policy describes how PrivCo & Company, Inc. ("PrivCo," "us" or "we"), will collect and use your personally identifiable information ("PII") (that is -- your full name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, or credit card number) as well as data that can, under certain circumstances, indirectly lead to PII ("Related Data").

This Policy applies to PII and Related Data received by us from: (a) consumers who provide us with information in connection with their subscriptions or purchases; and (b) consumers when they visit, register or subscribe to our Web Site, and related services or sites that link to this Privacy Policy.

From time to time PrivCo may revise this Privacy Policy. If we make revisions that change the way we collect or use your PII or Related Data, those changes will be posted in this Privacy Policy and the effective date will be noted at the beginning of the Policy. Therefore, you should review it periodically so that you are up to date on our most current policies and practices. If we make material changes to our practices regarding use of your PII or Related Data, your PII and Related Data will continue to be governed by the Privacy Policy under which it was subject prior to those changes, unless you have been provided notice of, and have not objected to, the changes.

INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT:



1.Generally

When you subscribe to our products or services, we collect PII and Related Information from you. We also may collect PII and Related Information from you when you contact us about your subscriptions or participate in activities like: our resume database; job searches; forums; message boards; chats; submitting a letter to the editor; creating a community profile; rating, tagging and commenting on articles; or surveys, sweepstakes, contests, or games. When you visit our web sites, we automatically collect non PII such as IP addresses and web site usage information from you.

We do not, however, knowingly collect PII from children under the age of thirteen. Sometimes we collect personally identifiable information from consumers in manual format or off-line, for example via a post card or subscription form. Providing detailed notice in those situations often proves impractical, so consumers will instead be provided with a short notice that describes how to obtain the full text of this Policy and other relevant information from us. When you provide PII to us, we will make sure you are informed about the types of uses we will make of the information to the extent it is being used in a manner that differs from what is allowed pursuant to this Privacy Policy.

2. Cookies.

Cookies are small bits of information that our web sites place on the hard drive of your computer.

We also use web beacons (invisible images often referred to as pixel tags or clear GIFs) on our sites in order to recognize users and assess traffic patterns, and we include web beacons and cookies in our e-mail messages, including newsletters, in order to count how many e-mail messages have been opened.

When you view an ad for our publications on other sites, our third-party advertising company may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser. We and our advertising company may also use web beacons (invisible images often referred to as pixel tags or clear GIFs) to note which pages you visit after viewing our ads. The information that is collected through the use of these images is not personally identifiable and is used only to track response to our advertising efforts.

We may use cookies and similar tools to relate your use of our web sites to PII obtained from you or a reputable third party. For example, if you've asked us to send you information about our upcoming products or promotions, cookie and/or click stream data about your activities on our web sites may allow us to limit the materials we send you to items we think you will find interesting, based on your prior online activities and preferences. However, if we wish to combine your personal and cookie or click stream information in this manner, we will obtain your express affirmative consent.
