smartAPPOiNT^TM is committed to safeguarding your privacy online. Please read the following statement carefully to understand how your personal information will be treated as you make full use of our offerings.
This statement may change from time to time so please refer to this site on a periodic basis.
This policy is in addition to smartAPPOiNT^TM's General Terms of Use of governing smartAPPOiNT^TM and should read in conjunction with such terms of use.

What personally identifiable information is collected from me?

Some personal information is gathered when you register to use smartAPPOiNT^TM.
During registration, smartAPPOiNT^TM asks for your name, email address, post code, phone details, date of birth, gender and a few other optional details about you.
This information will assist the provider in identifying you as a client and permit you to use smartAPPOiNT^TM to make appointments with the service provider.

Collecting IP addresses?

We collect IP addresses for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers.
In addition, smartAPPOiNT^TM mail includes IP addresses in outgoing mail message headers.

How does smartAPPOiNT^TM use my information?

smartAPPOiNT^TM's primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide the service providers you wish to make appointments with the information to allow them to recognise or contact you in case they need to modify the appointment or to verify it.

As an additional service, by knowing a little about you, smartAPPOiNT^TM is able to deliver more relevant advertisements and content, and hence better service, to you.

In our role of delivering more targeted and relevant advertisements, smartAPPOiNT^TM plays the role of a middleman.
Advertisers give us an advertisement and tell us the type of audience they want to reach (for example, males over 35 years old).
smartAPPOiNT^TM takes the advertisement and displays it to users meeting that criterion. In this process, the advertiser never has access to individual account information.
Only smartAPPOiNT^TM has access to individuals' accounts. This kind of advertisement targeting is done with banner ads.
You will only receive special offers via email from smartAPPOiNT^TM if you have indicated in your account preferences that you would like to receive them. You can change your account preferences at any time.

To better assist providers in providing a better service to their clients such as yourself, we will perform research on your appointments made with the provider. We will assist in providing the provider information such as time of appointment and type of appointment to facilitate this process. This will enable the provider to identify your preferences and hence provide a better service at your next appointment.
However, information on appointments made with one provider will not be shared with another provider under any circumstances. Also transaction records of all your appointments made with either a single or multiple providers will not be disclosed to any party under any circumstances other than those mentioned above.

smartAPPOiNT^TM performs research on our users' demographics, interests, and behaviour based on the information provided to us upon registration, during a promotion, from our server log files or from surveys. We do this to better understand and serve our users. This research is compiled and analysed on an aggregated basis.
smartAPPOiNT^TM may share this aggregated data with advertisers or business partners.

Who is collecting information?

When you are on a smartAPPOiNT^TM site and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with smartAPPOiNT^TM alone.
We do not share any information other then name, address, tel. number, date of birth, gender and email with the provider you requested an appointment with, in order to identify you as a prospective client.

Please be aware that smartAPPOiNT^TM advertisers or web sites that have links on our site may collect personally identifiable information about you. This privacy statement does not cover the information practices of those web sites linked to smartAPPOiNT^TM.

With whom does smartAPPOiNT^TM share my information?

As a general rule, smartAPPOiNT^TM will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as:

(a) when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances described below
(b) protect and defend the rights or property of smartAPPOiNT^TM
(c) enforce this Agreement
(d) act to protect the interests of other users, and
(e) to implement our general terms of use. Please see the Terms of Service or Use Agreements for each of our products and services for more detailed information about how your personal information may be shared. The following describes some of the ways that your information may be disclosed.

Other:
smartAPPOiNT^TM may also disclose account information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating smartAPPOiNT^TM's General Terms of Use or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) smartAPPOiNT^TM's rights or property, other smartAPPOiNT^TM users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. smartAPPOiNT^TM may disclose or access account information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and services.

What are my choices regarding collection, use, and distribution of my information?

smartAPPOiNT^TM will not send you junk emails; we believe that if you want to buy something you can find it on your own.

smartAPPOiNT^TM does not sell or rent user information to anyone. We will notify you at the time of data collection or transfer if your data will be shared with a third party and you will always have the option of not permitting the transfer.

What is smartAPPOiNT^TM's policy on allowing me to update, correct, or delete my personally identifiable information?

Your smartAPPOiNT^TM account can be deleted, but doing so will result in not being able to set any appointments with a provider until you decide to re-enter your account with us.

How does smartAPPOiNT^TM protect my information?

Keeping your personal information private is vitally important to us. As with all information, smartAPPOiNT^TM will never rent or sell your personal information.

Knowing that you use certain services or features may help us to offer you better and more relevant content and advertisements. But as with all personally identifiable information, we do not make this available to any third parties without your permission. Any user statistics that we may provide to prospective advertisers or partners regarding financial product or service usage on smartAPPOiNT^TM are provided in the aggregate only and do not include any personally identifiable information about any individual user.

What security precautions are in place to protect the loss, misuse, or alteration of my information?

Your smartAPPOiNT^TM Account Information and smartAPPOiNT^TM Profile are password-protected so that you and only you have access to this personal information. smartAPPOiNT^TM has placed technical, physical and managerial procedures to help protect the information collected on-line. The fact that smartAPPOiNT^TM has taken such measures is no guarantee or warranty that information is or will be secure.

We strongly recommend that you do not give your membership registration number and password to anyone. smartAPPOiNT^TM will never inquire for your password via unsolicited phone calls or emails. Also remember to log out of your smartAPPOiNT^TM account and close your browser window when you have finished with smartAPPOiNT^TM. This ensures that others will not access your personal information if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe. Whenever smartAPPOiNT^TM handles personal information such as those described above, smartAPPOiNT^TM will take steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with the relevant Terms of Service and this Privacy Statement.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we endeavour to protect your personal information, smartAPPOiNT^TM cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

What about children's privacy?

smartAPPOiNT^TM is a general audience web site. Children should always ask a parent for permission before sending personal information to anyone online. smartAPPOiNT^TM does not share personal information about users under the age of 18 with third parties and we do not sell or rent personal information about any of our users, regardless of age. In addition, smartAPPOiNT^TM will not send any direct email offers to users who indicate they are under the age of 18.

What else should I know about my privacy?

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example on message boards, through email, or in chat areas - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
