Privacy Policy

Storm Internet Services ("Storm") is committed to protecting the privacy and security of the information provided by customers visiting our website. Storm may request information from people visiting our websites at several different points. Storm is the sole owner of the information collected on its website. Storm will not collect any personally identifiable information unless the person/visitor provides it to us voluntarily. Personally identifiable information includes a person/visitor's name, address, telephone number and e-mail address. Storm Internet is dedicated to building a long-term relationship with all of our website visitors and clients. Storm will not sell, share or rent this information to others in way other than as disclosed in this Privacy Policy.

LOG FILES
Storm's log tracking uses the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses from visitors' computers to analyze trends and gather broad demographic information to help determine the type of information visitors are interested in seeing on our website. This tracking only collects IP addresses and not personally identifiable information. Visitors are not personally identifiable within our log files. Storm Internet only uses this information for internal purposes and does not share this information with external companies or institutions.

COOKIES
A "Cookie" is a piece of information that is sent from a Storm's Web server to a visitor's browser and stored on the visitor's hard drive. Storm may use Cookies when a visitor orders a product or registers for a specific program. Cookies also allow Storm to tailor our sites to better match visitors' interests and preferences. Visitors may choose to disable Cookies by changing their browser setting, however, they may not be able to access some of the information on our websites.

REGISTRATION
In some cases, a visitor may be required to complete a registration form to order a product or to receive certain information. During the registration process, the visitor is required to give specific information such as name and e-mail address. This information is used to contact the visitor regarding services offered by Storm Internet for which the visitor has expressed interest.

ORDERING
When receiving orders online, Storm Internet will request certain information from a client/visitor to complete an order. The client's/visitor's information will include name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, payment information and other information as may be requested by Storm in the order form. This information is used for invoicing/billing purposes, fulfillment of orders, ongoing account maintenance and upgrades.

SECURITY
When visitors are asked to enter certain sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected through a Secure Socket Layer ("SSL"). The SSL negotiates and employs the essential functions of mutual authentication, data encryption and data integrity for secure transactions. While on a secure page, such as an order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer® and Netscape Navigator® becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked, or open, when you are viewing other websites.

INFORMATION
All visitor information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted to Storm's developers, network operations personnel and other qualified employees (such as billing department personnel or customer care representatives). Finally, the servers on which Storm stores personally identifiable information are kept in a secure location.

NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES
If Storm makes any changes to its Privacy Policy, Storm will post the changes on its website so visitors are informed of what information Storm collects and how Storm uses that information. Storm will always use information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

LINKS
Storm's website contains links to other websites. Storm is not responsible for the privacy practices of these websites. Storm encourages our visitors and clients to read the Privacy Policy on each website visited. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected on Storm's website.
