safe online experience for all our readers/users. This Privacy Policy (the
“Policy”) discusses the Personally Identifying Information (“PII”) that we
collect about you through Uvemi's blogsite, which includes all of the Uvemi.blogspot.com
articles and other services we provide on the blogsite (collectively, the
“Site”). Please read the complete Policy below and contact us if you have any
questions. This Policy is part of and incorporated into the Terms of Use of the

If you are not comfortable with this
Privacy Policy or our Terms of Use, please do not provide us with PII or other

- What information may be collected by Uvemi, and how is it collected?
Type
of Information We Collect. We use
Facebook Login so you can use your existing Facebook.com account to access the
features of the Site. You must explicitly authorize Facebook to share your
information with us when you first login to the Site with your Facebook
credentials.
You should
review your privacy settings on your Facebook account because those settings
determine and govern what PII may be made available to us when you access the
Site. While Facebook Login allows us to access a variety of information about
you based on your Facebook account’s privacy settings, we only access PII which
we feel is useful to enhance your experience of the Site, including your name,
gender and location. We may also collect any information you enter on the Site
or give us in any other way (such as through an email, survey, or letter).
Information
in Public Areas of the Site. Please
keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily provide information in public areas
of the Site, that information can be viewed and possibly used by others. We
therefore advise users not to disclose contact information, including phone
number, email address, street address or instant messenger address (within
these public areas) that they do not wish to share. We are not responsible for
PII you choose to submit in these public areas.
Cookies. Like many blogsites, we use "cookies." Cookies
are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive
through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser. We
use persistent, identifying cookies to remember your information and to link
your activities to you. While you can take steps to warn off, block or disable
cookies, if you do, the Site may not function and appear as we have designed
it. Nonetheless, if you want to take these steps, you can do so by following
the instructions associated with your browser. For more information about
cookies, including controlling and deleting them, please visit the www.aboutcookies.org website.
Our
cookies do not collect PII that you provide to us during the registration
process, but they do collect other information such as the following:
- the domain name and host from which you access the Internet and the Internet address of the site from which you direct-linked to ours;
- the date and time you access the Site and pages you visit;
- your computer's IP address and information about its operating system, platform and the Web browser type and version you use;
- demographic and other non-personally identifiable profile information about you; and
- information to combat fraud or misuse.
Collection
of Information by Third Parties.
Our Site may include third-party advertising, links to other
blogsites/websites, and other content from third party businesses. The content
posted by these parties will be reasonably identifiable as coming from a third
party. We do not provide any PII to these advertisers, third-party websites, or
other businesses, although on occasion we may mutually share non-personally
identifiable (e.g. demographic) information to facilitate delivery of relevant advertisements.
These third-party websites, businesses, and advertisers, or advertising
companies working on their behalf, sometimes use technology to deliver (or
"serve") the advertisements that appear on our Site directly to your
browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may
also use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (also known as action tags or
single-pixel gifs), and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of
their ads and to personalize or optimize advertising content. We do not have
access to or control over cookies or other technologies that they may use, and
the information practices of these advertisers and third-party websites or
businesses are not covered by this Policy but are covered by their respective
privacy policies. Some, but not all, third party advertising companies provide
a mechanism to opt-out of their technology.
- What Does Uvemi Do With Collected Information?
Use
of PII. We may use your PII for purposes
such as responding to your requests, monitoring and providing the Site,
maintaining your account, providing you with advertising and non-advertising
content on the Site that we believe would be of interest to you, enforcing our
rights and the rights of third parties.
Use
of Other Information. We use non-PII about our users for
purposes such as measuring the number of visitors to sections of our Site,
making the Site more useful to visitors and delivering targeted advertising and
non-advertising content. We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the
Site, track a user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for
aggregate, non-personally identifiable use.
Retention
of Information. We retain information for as long
as required, allowed or we believe it useful, but do not undertake retention
obligations. We may dispose of information in our discretion without notice,
subject to applicable law that specifically requires the handling or retention
of information. You must keep your own, separate back-up records.
Generally. Subject to the terms of this Policy, we reserve the right
to the following worldwide: use, access (or bar access to), process, disclose,
display, share, transfer, store, sell, retain, commingle, investigate, verify,
prove, and otherwise deal with, voluntarily or as required by law,
(collectively “Disclose”) all PII, non-PII and other information. We may
Disclose the foregoing internally to third parties or through any databases for
any purpose not prohibited by this Policy or, in our discretion, to help
prevent or address perceived harm, damage or loss to us or others or to respond
to subpoenas, search warrants, court orders, or other legal process. We reserve
the right to send you customary business communications (i.e.
acceptance/rejection notices regarding content submissions, general system and
administrative messages, etc.) without offering you the opportunity to opt-out
of receiving them. However, we provide you with the opportunity to elect not to
receive other types of communications, such as RSS Feeds. If you want to update
your email address or stop receiving our RSS Feed, you may opt out these
messages by following the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email.
- Does InfraRed Beam Share Information With Other Parties?
We share
information with third parties, but only as described in this Section 3.
- Advertisers and Others. We share non-personally identifiable information with advertisers, service providers, and other persons with whom we conduct business. Similarly, these advertisers, service providers, and other persons may share with us non-PII about you that they have independently gathered or acquired.
- Third Party Services. We contract with affiliated and non-affiliated third parties to provide services to us or to you on our behalf. Examples include providing marketing assistance, providing customer service, sending emails to you and analysing data. These third parties may have access to your PII, but will be required to use this information solely in connection with these authorised business activities.
- Compliance and Safety. We may release user information when we believe release is appropriate to:
- comply with applicable law, and to respond to legal requests and to respond to or otherwise address written complaints of copyright infringement;
- make disclosures under programs intended to prevent potential crimes or investigate persons;
- enforce or apply agreements, including the Terms and Conditions of Use; or
- protect the rights, property, or safety of our Site, our users, or others, including exchanging information with other companies for fraud protection.
- How Secure Is My Information?
Your
Obligations. You must protect against unauthorised
access to your password and to your computer. Please sign off when you have
finished using a shared computer. Your emails to us are not necessarily secure
against interception so do not include sensitive information in them. We will
not ask for passwords in an email and you should assume that if you get such a
request, it might be fraudulent. YOU MUST DO WHAT YOU REASONABLY CAN TO ENSURE
THE SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.
Our
Security Measures. We take reasonable precautions to
protect the security of our users' information. We have physical, electronic,
and managerial procedures to help safeguard, prevent unauthorized access,
maintain data security, and correctly use your information. However, neither
people nor security systems are foolproof, including encryption systems. In
addition, people can commit intentional crimes, make mistakes or fail to follow
policies. Therefore, while we use reasonable efforts to protect your PII, we
cannot guarantee its absolute security.
- What About Links to Other Sites?
The Site
contains links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices
of such other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Site and

Policy applies only to information collected by the Site.
