eChannelOpen
Privacy Policy
Effective as of: July 1, 2003.
This Privacy Policy (the "Policy")
sets forth eChannelOpen 's ("eChannelOpen")
policies regarding the collection and use of information relating to
the eChannelOpen Web site (the "Web Site")
and the eChannelOpen Exchange (the "CollabTRADE").
The CollabTRADE is only accessible by registered Members of the
CollabTRADE ("Members") and
their authorized users ("Authorized Users");
the Web Site is generally accessible by all others who visit the Web
Site ("Visitors").
INFORMATION COLLECTION AND
USE
General
Visitors, Members and Authorized Users understand and agree that
eChannelOpen may collect, maintain, and process information provided by
such parties to eChannelOpen, and information collected by eChannelOpen
concerning such Visitors, Members and Authorized Users, on and through
the Web Site and the CollabTRADE. Visitors, Members and Authorized
Users represent and warrant that all information they provide to
eChannelOpen is true, accurate, current, non-misleading, and consistent
and relevant for the purpose for which such information is provided.
Members and Authorized Users also represent and warrant that they have
the authority to provide the information submitted to and through the
CollabTRADE, and understand and agree that eChannelOpen may from time
to time verify such authority.
Public Areas of the Web Site
Visitors may visit the public (non-CollabTRADE) areas of the Web Site
without disclosing any personally identifiable information about
themselves. However, Visitors will have the opportunity to request
information from eChannelOpen, in which case an e-mail or other address
may be required in order to allow eChannelOpen to comply with the
request, and for other purposes as may be disclosed at the time the
request is made ("Special Purpose Collection"). eChannelOpen will not
request more information than is reasonably necessary to provide
requested information or services.
CollabTRADE
Registration Information
In order to participate in the CollabTRADE, eChannelOpen requires
Members and Authorized Users to register with the CollabTRADE by, among
other things, providing contact information including company, name,
title, department, business address, business telephone number,
business e-mail address and other contact information ("Registration
Information"). Such information will typically be
provided to eChannelOpen by the Member's Administrator. Certain
portions of the Registration Information concerning the Member
Company(and not an individual Authorized User) will be used for
evaluating qualifications for participation in the CollabTRADE. Later
registration Information concerning individual Authorized Users will be
made available by Member's Administrator, in the form of contact
directories maintained on the CollabTRADE, in order to facilitate the
operation of the CollabTRADE. eChannelOpen may also use Registration
Information to communicate with Members and Authorized Users regarding
available transactions, changes in CollabTRADE functionality, features,
billing, help desk and other activities relating to the operation of
the CollabTRADE. eChannelOpen may also use Registration Information to
send Members and Authorized Users information about products or
services available on or through the CollabTRADE and offers made
available by eChannelOpen's business partners, which may be sent by
eChannelOpen or the eChannelOpen business partner making the offer.
Usage Data
eChannelOpen will record and collect information about how Visitors,
Members and Authorized Users use the Web Site, and in the case of
Members and Authorized Users, the CollabTRADE. This data may include, a
Visitor's, Member's or Authorized User's domain name, language, type of
browser and operating system, Internet Service Provider, Internet
protocol (IP) address, the Web site from which Visitors, Members or
Authorized Users arrived at the Web Site or the CollabTRADE, and the
amount of time spent on the Web Site or using the CollabTRADE
(collectively, "Usage Data").
eChannelOpen may monitor and use Usage Data in aggregated form to
measure the Web Site's performance and CollabTRADE activity and improve
the Web Site's or CollabTRADE's design and functionality. eChannelOpen
may also use Usage Data in aggregated form to develop and distribute to
third parties statistical and general information about how the Web
Site and CollabTRADE are used and for other marketing purposes.
eChannelOpen may also use Usage Data in unaggregated form to
investigate and prosecute security violations or to identify a
particular Authorized User who engaged in a particular transaction on
behalf of a Member in the event there is a repudiation of such
transaction by such Member.
Cookies
As with many state-of-the-art Internet sites, eChannelOpen may use
"cookies" to make transactions and other activities through the Web
Site and the CollabTRADE more convenient and efficient for Visitors,
Members and Authorized Users. For these purposes, eChannelOpen may use
"session cookies," which consist of information stored in a browser's
memory and passed back to the applicable server whenever a request for
a new page on the Web Site or the CollabTRADE is made. The session
cookie is never saved nor written to disk, and the information
contained in the session cookie is only valid for that one particular
session. The session cookie is discarded when the browser is closed or,
in the case of a Member or Authorized User, upon logging out of the
CollabTRADE. Most Web browsers automatically accept session cookies,
and most may also be configured to provide notice of when a session
cookie is about to be placed on the browser. No information is saved in
such session cookies other than an identification number associated
with the particular session.
Forums
eChannelOpen may make available certain public forums such as bulletin
boards or chat rooms (collectively, "Forums")
on the Web Site or the CollabTRADE. Use of any Forum is subject to
eChannelOpen's CollabTRADE Rules, Terms
of Use, and any other notice or policy applicable to a
particular Forum or all Forums collectively. Any and all information
posted on or through a Forum will be generally accessible for viewing
by others. Accordingly, participants are encouraged to exercise
discretion when using Forums.
REVIEW/CHANGE
CONTACT INFORMATION
Requests to review or change information previously provided on or
through the Web Site or the CollabTRADE may be made to eChannelOpen by
sending an e-mail to the eChannelOpen Customer Service. Requests for
changes to the Registration Information should be made by Authorized
Users directly to their Administrators.
LINKED
SITES/THIRD PARTY SITES
Web sites ("Linked Sites") from
the Web Site or the CollabTRADE. Linked Sites are not reviewed,
controlled or examined by eChannelOpen in any way and eChannelOpen is
not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of any such
Linked Sites, or any additional links contained therein. You should
refer to the policies posted by such Linked Sites regarding data
collection, privacy and other topics before you use them. eChannelOpen
may refer to or list third parties on the Web Site or the CollabTRADE
who maintain separate web sites. You should refer to the policies
posted by such third parties on their web sites regarding data
collection, privacy and other topics before you use them.
DISCLOSURE
PURSUANT TO LAW
eChannelOpen may make information concerning Visitors, Members,
Authorized Users, the Web Site and the CollabTRADE, and the uses
thereof, available to law enforcement personnel and agencies as
required by law. Where permitted by law, eChannelOpen may also disclose
such information to law enforcement personnel and agencies, or use such
information as part of legal process, in order to protect its property
or in furtherance of an investigation regarding a breach of the Web
Site or CollabTRADE's rules and policies, or any unauthorized access to
or use of the Web Site or the CollabTRADE, or any illegal activities
concerning a particular Visitor, Member or Authorized User.
CONSENT TO
PROCESSING
By using or providing information to the Web Site and the CollabTRADE,
Members and Visitors understand and unambiguously consent to the
collection, processing and use of such information in the Republic of
China and other countries and territories, for the purposes set forth
in this Policy and, for Members and Authorized Users, as further set
forth in their applicable Product Agreement or Product Addenda. As
required to comply with privacy laws applicable to Member and/or its
Authorized Users, Member agrees that it has obtained, or prior to
disclosure to eChannelOpen will obtain, consent from each of its
Authorized Users to: (a) permit Member to transfer
personally-identifiable information regarding the Authorized Users to
eChannelOpen; (b) the terms of this Policy; and (c) permit eChannelOpen
to collect, process and disclose such personally-identifiable
information regarding the Authorized Users: (i) in order to provide the
Services and perform its obligations as described in the any applicable
Product Agreements or Product Addenda entered into by Member, (ii) to
operate the CollabTRADE (including but not limited to disclosure to
other Members of the CollabTRADE in the normal course of such
operation) or (iii) as otherwise permitted under this Policy, including
but not limited to the transfer of such personally-identifiable
information between eChannelOpen's subsidiaries and affiliates for the
foregoing objectives. For further certainty, any consent relating to a
right to transfer information referred to in the foregoing shall be
deemed to include the consent of Authorized Users to the transfer of
the applicable personally identifiable information to a jurisdiction
which may have a different level of privacy protection than that
applicable in the Authorized User's country.
SERVICES
PROVIDERS
eChannelOpen may utilize third parties to provide or perform certain
services and functions on the Web Site and the CollabTRADE. For
example, eChannelOpen may use a Web site tracking evaluation firm to
analyze Visitors', Members' and Authorized Users' use of the Web Site
and the CollabTRADE, as applicable. eChannelOpen may use third party
suppliers to directly provide certain functionality provided on the
CollabTRADE (through a browser re-direction to systems operated by such
third party suppliers). eChannelOpen may also outsource certain
payment, fulfillment or communication functions, such as transaction
clearing, shipping, and electronic correspondence, to third parties.
eChannelOpen will make information concerning Visitors, Members and
Authorized Users and their use of the Web Site and CollabTRADE
available to these service providers, as necessary, to perform these
functions. Any access to such information will be limited to the
purpose for which such information was provided to the service
provider. The service providers may be located throughout the world.
Accordingly, information relating to Visitors, Members and Authorized
Users may be sent worldwide to countries which have a different level
of privacy protection than the ROC or a Visitor's, Member's or
Authorized User's country of residence.
TRANSFER OF
INFORMATION
In the event of a sale, merger, liquidation, dissolution, or sale or
transfer of the substantial assets of eChannelOpen, information
collected about Visitors, Members and Authorized Users may be sold,
assigned, or transferred to a party acquiring all or substantially all
of the equity and/or assets of eChannelOpen in order to permit such
party to continue the operation of the Web Site or the CollabTRADE.
eChannelOpen may also transfer information collected about Visitors,
Members and Authorized Users to its subsidiaries and affiliates,
including the eChannelOpen Group (as applicable), that are directly
involved in the operation of the CollabTRADE.
SECURITY
eChannelOpen takes seriously the security of the information it
collects. eChannelOpen has therefore implemented technology and
security policies and procedures intended to reduce the risk of
accidental destruction or loss, or the unauthorized disclosure or
access to, such information, reasonably appropriate to the level of the
data concerned.
UPDATES TO THE
PRIVACY POLICY
eChannelOpen may, in its sole discretion, update this Policy at any
time and from time to time, by posting the amended Policy on the Web
Site and the CollabTRADE. Such amended Policy shall be effective upon
posting. Visitors, Members and Authorized Users are therefore
encouraged to refer back to this page regularly. This Policy may not be
otherwise amended without the written consent of eChannelOpen. This
Policy was last updated on July 1, 2003.
