This document sets
forth the Ready Access Online Privacy Policy (the "Privacy
Policy") for this Web site (the "Site"). If you have
objections to the Privacy Policy, you should not access
or use this Site.
Changes in Privacy Policy
All "personal information" ("personal
information" is defined as any information that
identifies or can be used to identify, contact, or
locate the person to whom such information pertains)
that we collect and maintain will be subject to the
version of the Privacy Policy in effect at the time of
such collection. Ready Access reserves the right to change the
Privacy Policy from time to time at its sole discretion,
and will provide notice of material changes on the home
page of the Site. You will be deemed to have been made
aware of, and will be subject to, such changes by your
continued use of the Site after such notice has been
posted for thirty (30) days with the following
exception: If at the time you provide personal
information to Ready Access you are given the opportunity (as
you currently are) to limit how such information will be
used to communicate with you, either by Ready Access or by
third parties, Ready Access will not change your preference in
this regard without your express consent.
Entities collecting personal
information
Personal information on this Site is
collected by Ready Access. Ready Access's address
is 1815 Arthur Dr. West Chicago, IL 60185, and its
telephone number is 630-876-7766.
The Site
contains links to other sites at which personal
information is collected. In such instances, unless
expressly provided to the contrary, the collection and
use of your personal information will be governed by the
privacy policy applicable to that site. That privacy
policy should identify the entity that is collecting
your personal information.
Collection of
personal information
As a visitor to this Site,
you can engage in many activities without providing any
personal information. In connection with other
activities, such as subscribing to the collaboration
services offered on the Site or utilizing online
software applications, Ready Access may ask you to provide
certain information about yourself by filling out and
submitting an online form. It is completely optional for
you to engage in these activities. If you elect to
engage in these activities, however, Ready Access may ask that
you provide us personal information, such as your first
and last name, mailing address (including ZIP code),
e-mail address, employer, job title and department,
telephone and fax numbers, and other personal
information.
When you use the Site, Ready Access or third
parties authorized by Ready Access may also collect certain
technical and routing information about your computer to
facilitate your use of the Site and its services. For
example, we may log environmental variables, such as
browser type, operating system, CPU speed, and the
Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer. We use
these environmental variables to facilitate and track
your use of the Site and its services. Ready Access also uses
such environmental variables to measure traffic patterns
on the Site. Without expressly informing you in each
particular circumstance, we do not match such
information with any of your personal information.
When you submit personal information to Ready Access
through this Site, you understand and agree that this
information may be transferred across national
boundaries and may be stored and processed in any of the
countries in which Ready Access and its affiliates and
subsidiaries maintain offices, including, without
limitation, the United States. You also acknowledge that
in certain countries or with respect to certain
activities, the collection, transferring, storage, and
processing of your information may be undertaken by
trusted vendors of Ready Access. Such vendors are bound by
contract not to use your personal information for their
own purposes or provide it to any third
parties.
Ready Access has established relationships with
various service providers whose services are available
to you from this Site or from Web sites that are linked
to this Site. Typically, these providers offer services
that Ready Access customers might find useful, such as those
that can be used in conjunction with Ready Access services and
products. In order to use those services, you may be
required to provide personal information to the
providers. Unless expressly provided to the contrary,
personal information that you provide while you are
visiting a provider's Web site will be subject to the
privacy policy posted on such site, and personal
information that you provide while on this Site in
conjunction with a provider's service will be subject to
this Privacy Policy. You should be aware that our
agreements with these service providers often provide
that they will share with Ready Access personal information
collected from you. In such instances, Ready Access may use
this information in a manner consistent with this
Privacy Policy.
How your personal information is used
Ready Access
collects your information in order to record and support
your participation in the activities you select. If you
subscribe to a service or register a product, for
example, the information is used to register your
rights, if any, to technical support or other benefits
that may be made available to registered users. As
another example, if you enter a contest, information is
collected to qualify the entry and contact you regarding
the contest or prize awards. Your personal information
is also used to keep you informed about product
upgrades, special offers, and other products and
services of Ready Access and selected third parties.
Ready Access may collect information about the use of
the Site, such as the types of services used and how
many users we receive daily. This information is
collected in aggregate form, without identifying any
user individually. Ready Access may use this aggregate,
non-identifying statistical data for statistical
analysis, marketing, or similar promotional purposes.
Your choices with respect to personal
information
Ready Access recognizes and appreciates the
importance of responsible use of information collected
on this Site. Without your consent, Ready Access will not
communicate any information to you regarding products,
services and special offers available from Ready Access,
although we may find it necessary to communicate with
you regarding your use of the services on this Site.
Except in the particular circumstances described in this
Privacy Policy, Ready Access will also not provide your name to
other companies or organizations without your consent.
There are other instances in which Ready Access may
divulge your personal information. Ready Access may provide
your personal information if necessary, in Ready Access's good
faith judgment, to comply with laws or regulations of a
governmental or regulatory body or in response to a
valid subpoena, warrant, or order or to protect the
rights of Ready Access or others.
Protection of your personal information
The
personal information that you provide in connection with
registering yourself as a user of Ready Access products or
services or registering an Ready Access product is classified
as Registration Information. Registration Information is
protected in several ways. Access by you to your
Registration Information is available through a password
and unique customer ID selected by you. This password is
encrypted. We recommend that you do not divulge your
password to anyone. In addition, your Registration
Information resides on a secure server that only
selected Ready Access personnel and contractors have access to
via password. Ready Access encrypts your personal information
and thereby strives to prevent unauthorized parties from
viewing such information when it is transmitted to
Ready Access.
Personal information that you provide
that does not constitute Registration Information also
resides on a secure server and is accessible only to
selected Ready Access personnel and contractors via password.
Since this information is not accessible by you, you
will not be asked to select a password in order to view
or modify such information.

be honored.
