Privacy at Gryphyn Media

Summary: We don't share your email address or other data unless you tell us to do so. We don't send commercial email for other parties. You will only receive what you asked us to send you, and administrative notices regarding your account.

Gryphyn Media has developed this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. As part of the normal operation of services, we collect and, in some instances, disclose information about you. To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for the website located at http://www.gryphynmedia.com

The policy makes provisions both for current practices on our site, and expected future practices not yet in use.

What information do we collect and how do we use it?

We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. We may use cookies to save your password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our site.

Our site's various registration and inquiry forms require users to give us contact information (like their name and email address). We use customer contact information from the registration form to send the user information about our company. The customer's contact information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below.

We provide services that include arranging domain registration and hosting services, as well as other web-based services that require us to collect client information such as address and phone number. We provide this information to domain registration and hosting service providers in order to arrange your services and ensure that you are properly notified of of your service options by those providers. You will be provided with a username and password that will allow you to cancel those services and opt-out of those notifications at any time.

We may from time to time, survey our customers and readers to get better information about the use of our services. We do not share, sell, rent, or redistribute this information in any way that identifies individual clients.

We do NOT collect information such as credit card numbers or social security numbers or Employer ID numbers. We use third-party payment systems with secure transaction arrangements that protect your financial privacy, such as PayPal. Information about their strict privacy policy is found at http://www.paypal.com

Gryphyn Media, Inc. cannot ensure that all of your personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not described in this Privacy Policy. For example, we may be required to disclose personally identifiable information to the government or by court order under certain circumstances, or other situations may arise requiring such disclosure. In addition, you authorize us to disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate.

This site contains links to other sites. Gryphyn Media, Inc., is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.

Public Forums
Gryphyn Media may make use of chat rooms, forums, message boards, article commenting areas, and/or news groups available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.

Security
Most of the Gryphyn Media site is NOT encrypted or otherwise secured beyond the normal measures for virtually-hosted websites. Do not use our information forms or email address to send us information of a sensitive nature. We accept no responsibility for breaches of security or privacy that may occur if you do. We DO collect secured information via our payment gateways.

Confidentiality
In the course of building websites and providing hosting and marketing services, we come to know a lot about our clients' businesses. We do not share that information in an identifiable way, unless given permission to do so for promotional purposes, or to secure services on a client's behalf. We will sign a more formal agreement of confidentiality at the request of a client. We can provide you with a commonly-used format, or review a client-produced document to come to consensus.

Choice/Opt-Out
Our site provides users the opportunity to opt-out of receiving some communications from us. You may opt-out of receiving informational newsletters and promotional offers (only ours... and we seldom do even that). You may not opt-out of receiving administrative notices from us, such as those notifying you of policy changes and renewal dates of services.
