Privacy Policy
Infopop Respects Your Privacy Infopop respects your privacy. That's why we have created this Privacy Statement to explain how and why we collect certain information online, and how we use that information. This statement also explains how you can prevent collection of certain information about yourself, if you choose. Please take a few moments to read our Privacy Statement. This statement applies to both information we collect from visitors to the Infopop.com Web site, as well as information we collect or have access to when we host bulletin and message boards for other websites. Right to Change Policy As Infopop is constantly innovating and enhancing the products and services it provides to its users, this Privacy Statement will also continue to change to match the products and services we make available. As such, we reserve the right to change this statement to match the products and services we provide. If we make any material change to this statement, we will change the date at the top of this statement to reflect the effective date of the change. When you visit our site or use our products and services, we encourage you to check the date of this Privacy Statement to ensure you are aware of any updates. However, regardless of how this Privacy Statement may change or evolve over time, Infopop will not collect or maintain your private and personally identifiable information without your consent. Further, if you consent to give us your personal information, we will keep it confidential and will not sell, license or disclose your personal information to any third party without your consent, unless we are compelled to do so under the law or to comply with a court order.

We do not collect any of your personal information (such as a name, address or e-mail address) when you visit the Infopop site, unless you license and/or download one of our products, register or have registered to use one of our products or services, complete one of our evaluations, or otherwise agree to submit to us such information. As part of such processes, you have the opportunity to decline further promotional materials or other notifications from us regarding special offers and information from Infopop. Types of information collected on specific services on the Infopop.com site are described in more detail below. Registration on Our Site Infopop requires users who want to participate in the Infopop support message boards to register. In order to register, you must provide us with a username (which does not have to be your real name), password and a valid e-mail address. This allows us to protect our community from abusive postings and provides a verifiable point of contact should legal questions arise. At any time, you have the ability to keep your e-mail address hidden from other users by selecting that option within your user profile. When you register, you have the option of providing some additional information such as occupation, interests, and homepage URL. This optional information is made available to other bulletin or message board users to foster a sense of community. If you have any concerns about providing this information, simply leave the fields blank and your registration will still be processed. Infopop.com uses Groupee as its registration and authentication service. When you sign in to this site using Groupee, you will be asked to provide your email address and a password to sign you in. This same Groupee sign-in allows you to access many other Groupee participating sites and services.

Online Purchases If you choose a service or transaction that requires payment, such as signing up for web hosting or licensing UBB.threads or UBB.classic, we will request personal information necessary for billing and/or shipping, such as: name, address, telephone number, and credit card number. We keep this information secure and use it only for billing purposes. Eve™ and OpenTopic™ When you use our Eve (which includes UBB.x) or OpenTopic product through a third party Web site, the collection, storage, maintenance and use of the information you submit on the third party Web site is generally governed by the privacy policy of the third party, even though all such information is stored on Infopop's servers. Infopop is contractually prohibited from accessing or using any of the private, personally identifiable information that you submit to the third party as part of your registration and use of that product on the third party site. You should refer to the privacy policy of the third party if you have any questions regarding the third party's collection, storage, maintenance and use of your information.

The only piece of information required is the user's e-mail address, which is only used to distribute the requested newsletter. You can "unsubscribe" to the newsletter at any time by following the instructions at the bottom of the newsletter. Example Sites Survey To promote other Web sites that use UBB.classic or UBB.threads, Infopop has an "example sites" listing at UBBCentral.com that links browsers to these sites.
