When We Disclose Your Personal Information
Except with your consent, we will not sell, license, trade or rent your personal information to or with others.
We share personal information with other third party organizations for the purpose of providing you with the services and, in addition, may share personal information with other third parties engaged to assist us in providing the services to you or to carry out one or more of the purposes described above. These service providers are prohibited from using your personal information for any purpose other than to provide this assistance and are required to protect personal information disclosed by us and to comply with the general privacy principles described in this Online Privacy Statement.
We reserve the right to disclose personal information to a third party if a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena or court order legally requires or authorizes us to do so.
We also reserve the right to disclose and/or transfer personal information to a third party in the event of a proposed or actual purchase, sale, lease, merger, amalgamation or any other type of acquisition, disposal or financing of all or any portion of Webplus, Inc. or of any of the business or assets or shares of Webplus, Inc. or a division thereof in order for you to continue to receive the same products and services from the third party.
Knowledge and Consent
We collect personal information about you only when you voluntarily provide it. Typically, we will seek consent for the use or disclosure of your personal information at the time of collection. In certain circumstances, consent may be sought after the information has been collected but before use (for example, when we want to use information for a purpose not previously identified).
You may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. If you wish to withdraw your consent at any time, please contact us. We will inform you of the implications of withdrawing consent and instructions on how to do so.
We will not, as a condition of the supply of a product or service, require you to consent to the collection, use or disclosure of information beyond that required to fulfill the explicitly specified and legitimate purposes for which the information is being provided.
Use or Disclosure for Marketing Purposes
Webplus, Inc. and its affiliates may also collect and use (but will not disclose) your personal information for marketing and promoting goods, services and special offers, including by means of direct marketing. Webplus, Inc. may also disclose your non-sensitive personal information (eg. name and mailing address) to our third party businesses so that they can send you marketing and promotional materials directly as well.
You can choose not to allow Webplus, Inc. to use or disclose your personal information for direct marketing purposes by notifying us in writing.
Cookies
We use "cookies", which are pieces of information that a Web Site transfers to your computer's hard disk for record keeping purposes, to facilities your access to our products and services. We uses cookies in accordance with industry-standard protocols, and do not use cookies, either directly or in conjunction with other Web sites, to track your movement to Web sites other than our own. If you refuse to accept cookies, you may not be able to access our services. Most Web browsers automatically delete this type of cookie when you terminate your session.
IP Addresses and Server Logs
Unique Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are assigned to all Internet users by their Internet Service Providers (ISPs). IP addresses do not directly identify Internet users; however, through an ISP, an IP address may be linked to a particular user.
During a visit to a website, certain information about a user's traffic patterns, linked with the user's IP address, is passively and automatically collected in the normal course of establishing and maintaining a website connection. This information is logged by the web server of the website that is visited.
The following information is logged by our web servers during visits to our website: IP addresses, type of operating system, time and duration of visit, web pages visited and browser type. We do not link server log information to any other information in a way that would enable the identification of visitors to our website. Server log information is analyzed by us in order to improve our website and to customize the website for users. In addition, from time to time, server logs may be reviewed for security purposes; for example, to detect unauthorized activity on our website. In such cases, server log data, containing IP addresses, would be shared with law enforcement bodies in order that they may identify users in connection with their investigation of the unauthorized activities.
How We Protect Your Personal Information
We take precautions to secure your personal information. Access to information is also restricted to selected employees or representatives. If and when we ask you to provide your personal information, we will do so through a Web page that uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. This protocol provides security for your information by encrypting it as it travels from your computer to our computer.
Links to Third Party Sites
Our website may offer links to other third party websites. You should be aware that operators of linked websites may also collect your personal information (including information generated through the use of cookies) when you link to their websites. Webplus, Inc. is not responsible for how such third parties collect, use or disclose your personal information, so it is important to familiarize yourself with their privacy policies before providing them with your personal information.
Retention of Your Personal Information
Webplus, Inc. retains your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose(s) for which it was collected and to comply with applicable laws, and your consent to such purposes(s) remains valid after termination of our relationship with you.

We reserve the right to modify this Online Privacy Statement at anytime without notice. The Online Privacy Statement posted at any time or from time to time via this website shall be deemed to be the Online Privacy Statement then in effect.
