Privacy Policy and Terms of Use
Effective May 4, 2007
Tri-8, Inc., DBA MyLaptopGPS, MyLaptopGPS.com,
SafeBeacon GPS, SafeBeaconGPS.com, SafeRegistry,
SafeRegistry.com and its subdomains (the "Web Site"),
knows that you, our highly valued customer, care how
your information is used and how your privacy is
protected. We are committed to protecting your privacy
and have created this policy in order to demonstrate
our commitment to that privacy. With our statement, we
intend to explain how we use the information we have
gathered from our visitors, subscribers or customers,
as well as the terms and conditions under which you may
use the Web Site.
Subscribing to MyLaptopGPS™ or Placing Any Other
Order
When you place an order, such as a MyLaptopGPS™
subscription, we require you to provide us with
personal contact information including (but not
necessarily limited to) your name, shipping address,
billing address, credit card information, email
address, and telephone numbers. This information is
used to process your orders and contact you if there is
trouble completing or shipping your order (when
applicable).
Information and Use
We use the personally identifiable information you
provide for internal purposes, such as processing your
order, newsletter subscription or MyLaptopGPS™
subscription, analyzing trends and statistics,
informing you of our new products, services and offers,
and providing you with information from and about Tri-8,
Inc. brands.
We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems
with our server(s) and to administer our Web Site. Your
IP address also may be used to gather broad demographic
information and to recognize customer traffic patterns
and site usage. This information aids us in
merchandising and in developing the design and layout
of the site.
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve
ads or email campaigns on our behalf. These companies
may employ cookies and action tags (also known as
single pixel gifs or web beacons) to measure
advertising effectiveness.
We may contract with companies or persons to provide
certain services including credit card processing,
shipping, data management, promotional services, etc.
We call them our Vendors. We provide our Vendors with
the information needed for them to perform these
services, including enough information about individual
items stored in SafeRegistry™ to properly and
accurately execute these services.
Furthermore, we may perform the same processing,
shipping, data management, marketing or promotional
services, etc., ourselves rather than contracting with
companies or persons.
Sharing Information
We may from time to time rent or sell your name,
address, email address or other information for use to
reputable businesses that can provide you with valuable
offers and information. Opting out of receiving these
third party offers is very easy and a method of doing
so is provided along with the offers. We may work with
certain companies who, in conjunction with their own
membership programs or rewards programs, require that
we disclose purchasing information about their
customers who visit our site through links from the
partner sites, or use the partner's credit card to make
purchases on our site (e.g., to earn points for
purchases made on the site through links from the
partner site). We disclose only the information
required to make these programs work and support your
membership with them, which typically includes the name
and/or email address of the user as well as the dollar
amount of purchases made. We disclose this information
to companies under an agreement that requires that they
obtain your consent first, usually under the membership
or participation rules. If you do not want us to
disclose that information to the strategic partner,
then you must contact them directly.
IP Address and Cookies
In general, you can visit many of our web pages without
telling us who you are or revealing any personal
information about yourself. But like most companies, we
use "cookies" (small pieces of information stored on
your computer) on certain parts of our Web Site.
Cookies allow websites to remember user activity and
visits to a site. At Tri-8, Inc., we may use
cookies to determine the number of unique visitors we
host on our website over any given period of time.
Cookies are also used to facilitate login sessions in
SafeRegistry™ itself, and MyLaptopGPS™, in
order to properly verify that you are authorized (you
have logged in) to view account data. We do not use the
cookie to collect any type of personal information, and
the cookie does not extract any information from your
computer.
Security
The Personal Customer Information you provide --
including your credit card information -- to establish
an account with us and to make purchases from us is
secured using secure sockets layer (SSL) technology for
all your transactions on our site. We use this SSL
technology to prevent such information from being
intercepted and read as it is transmitted over the
Internet. The encrypted data goes to a secure site
where your information is stored on restricted-access
computers located at restricted-access sites.
In addition, we maintain highly stringent security
standards for our servers and applications. We make
every reasonable effort to ensure 100% security for
your SafeRegistry™ data, to prevent its theft or
disclosure, and to prevent its accidental loss. Our
data centers utilize such measures as 24-hour
surveillance and biometric verification for personal
access to restricted areas, all in an effort to
safeguard your private data.
MyLaptopGPS™
With specific regard to MyLaptopGPS™ for laptop
computer tracking, we collect various pieces of data
including the computer's IP address, uptime, internal
IP address, logged-in username, and so on. We
periodically DELETE logs of MyLaptopGPS™ regular
activity. We collect the information for the express
purpose of providing recovery services in the event
your laptop is stolen. We keep a reasonable history of
log data from your laptop in case you report it stolen
and it has contacted our servers between the time it
was stolen and the time you report it, so that we may
be able to immediately begin recovery work.
You specifically install MyLaptopGPS™, at your
election, in order that we may recover your data in the
event of theft and return that data to you, as well as
the hardware if possible.
We do not download files and file information from your
PC unless you authorize us to by reporting it stolen or
otherwise requesting file download. We do not delete
files from your PC unless you authorize us to as part
of the service, said authorization being obtained in a
variety of methods including online or via the
telephone.
By using MyLaptopGPS™ you are explicitly and
intentionally using our service to monitor your PC,
track it, and recover data from it. If you do not want
this activity to occur, do not install the software. We
make all good-faith efforts to guard your privacy,
delete data and logs from our server after recovery is
complete, and safeguard the integrity of the service.
Sale of Our Company
In the event of a merger, consolidation, or sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or
business of the Company by, with, or into another
company (a "Successor"), one of the assets which would
generally be transferred is the information we collect
from our customers, subscribers, and users. However,
the use of this information by any Successor would
still be governed by the terms of this Privacy Policy,
as amended from time to time, including any amendment
after such transaction, and you will continue to have
the right to opt-out of sharing your information with
third parties.
