Pledge on Privacy

This Policy applies to all Stik2it, Inc.'s websites that have URLs. It is a statement of Stik2it, Inc.'s general privacy policy and practices governing the ways in which we collect, hold and use information about individual persons. Our privacy policy is easy to find as it is located at the bottom of every web page and is linked to any part of a site where personal data are requested. At such data collection points, further explanation may be provided, where appropriate, as to the purposes for which the data will be used. This Policy, coupled with any supplementary explanation, is designed to provide privacy protection tailored to the individual visitor to or user of Stik2it, Inc.'s website(s).
The term "personal data" as used in this Policy refers to information such as your name, birth date, e-mail address or mailing address that can be used to identify you. Stik2it, Inc. will not process your personal data without your consent.
In processing your personal data, we pledge to fully comply with internationally recognized standards of privacy protection. In so doing, we ensure compliance by our staff with strict standards of security and confidentiality.
The next sections explain how and when we collect personal data from you.
Intended Use of Personal Data
Most of our services do not require any form of registration, allowing you to visit our site without telling us who you are. However, some services may require registration. When you register with us, you may need to complete certain fields (some are required and some are optional), as well as choose a user name and password. In these situations, if you choose to withhold any personal data requested by us, it may not be possible for you to gain access to certain parts of the site and for us to respond to your query.
Stik2it, Inc. processes personal data for specific and limited purposes, which we inform you about when we ask you for information. For example, we may collect and use personal data to provide you with products or services, to bill you for products and services you request, to market products and services which we think may be if interest to you, or to communicate with you for other purposes. Information you send to our customer service department is used only to help resolve your problem and is otherwise kept private.
Stik2it, Inc. keeps your data only for as long as is reasonably needed for such purposes and in accordance with any applicable legal or ethical reporting or documentation retention requirements.
Non-Disclosure of Information
Stik2it, Inc. Will not sell, share, or otherwise distribute your personal data to third parties. However, personal data may occasionally be transferred to third parties who act for or on behalf of Stik2it, Inc., or in connection with the business of Stik2it, Inc., for further processing in accordance with the purpose(s) for which the data were originally collected.
Where disclosure of personal data to a third party is likely or necessary for whatever reason, Stik2it, Inc. Will, wherever possible, endeavor to ensure that the disclosure and intended use of the data are clearly indicated.
Such third parties may operate different privacy policies. However, we endeavor to ensure that such third parties provide the same level of protection as Stik2it, Inc. and, where appropriate, we will contractually require them to process data transferred only for the purposes expressly authorized by Stik2it, Inc.
We will not share with third parties any data about you that is sensitive (e.g., customer & sales information) in the absence of your prior and explicit consent. Your consent may always be revoked at a later date. If consent is revoked Stik2it, Inc. may not be able to carry out certain requests made by you. Stik2it, Inc. Will, where practicable, inform third parties to whom your data have been transferred of your withdrawal of consent.
Right of Access
You have the right to access and update your personal data or to require their deletion. We endeavor to ensure that personal data are up-to-date, accurate, and complete. If you wish to access or correct your personal data held by us, please e-mail our data protection officer at dataprotection@Stik2itusa.com. Your requests will be dealt with in a prompt and proper manner.
Security and Confidentiality
To ensure the security and confidentiality of personal data that Stik2it, Inc. collects on-line, Stik2it, Inc. uses data networks protected, inter alia, by industry standard firewall and password protection. Access to personal data is restricted to those employees who have a need to use the data and who have been trained to handle such data properly and observe strict standards of confidentiality. If an employee breaches our Privacy Policy he/she will be disciplined accordingly. Staff compliance with our policies and procedures is regularly audited and reviewed. While we cannot guarantee against any loss, misuse or alteration to data, we try to prevent such unfortunate occurrences.
Anonymous Data and ³Cookies²
Most of the information that Stik2it, Inc. Collects from its website(s) is anonymous information, such as the pages you visit and searches you perform. When you visit our website we do not collect any personal data from you unless otherwise authorized by you.
Anonymous information is processed by Stik2it, Inc. to help improve the contents of the site and to compile aggregate statistics about individuals using our site for internal, market research purposes. In so doing, Stik2it, Inc. May install ³cookies² that collect the first level domain name of the user (e.g., ³bigmail.com² from an e-mail address of ³john@bigmail.com²) and the date and time of access. ³Cookies² by themselves cannot be used to discover the identity of the user. A ³cookie² is a small piece of information, which is sent to your browser and stored on your computer¹s hard drive. Cookies do not damage your computer. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a ³cookie², this will enable you to decide if you want to accept it or not.

Stik2it, Inc. does not condone spamming. Spamming is defined as sending unsolicited e-mails, usually of a commercial nature, in large numbers and repeatedly to individuals with whom the sender has had no previous contact or who have declined to receive such communications.
