Privacy

  • 1&1 Mail & Media Inc. ("GMX") has created this privacy
           statement in order to demonstrate our commitment to privacy to our customers and users of this website. This
           Privacy Policy governs the manner in which GMX uses, maintains and discloses information collected from its
           customers and users of its website.
    
  • Children

    GMX does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 for
           marketing purposes. GMX understands, however, that parents, guardians, or other adults often register our
           products for family use, including use by minors. Because some information is collected electronically, it may
           appear to be that of the registered GMX customer, and will be treated as such by this privacy policy. If we
           learn that that a child under the age of 13 has submitted personal information to GMX we will attempt to delete
           the information as soon as possible.
    
  • Information We Collect

    GMX may request or collect personal information from online users in a
           variety of ways, including through online forms for ordering products and services, and other instances where
           users are invited to volunteer such information.(br)(br)
           The data we collect is information that identifies you personally, and may include:
           * Your name
           * Gender
           * Date of Birth
           * Country(br)(br)
           You can remove or modify your personal information at any time by logging in to your account at mail.com and
           navigating to Options -> Account -> Account Data. To delete your account in its entirety, please navigate to
           Options -> Account -> Delete Account and follow the instructions under “Delete Account.” For more information on
           managing your account see the help section in your mail.com account.(br)(br)
           GMX may also collect information about how users access the website using a tracking ID unique to each user
           through the use of cookies.
    
  • What are Cookies?

    A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information
           about the user. We may use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For session ID cookies, once you
           close your browser or log out, the cookie terminates and is erased. A persistent cookie is a small text file
           stored on your computer’s hard drive for an extended period of time. Your browser’s help file contains
           information and instructions for removing persistent cookies. Session ID cookies may be used by GMX to track
           user preferences while the user is visiting the website. They also help to minimize load times and save on
           server processing. Persistent cookies may be used by GMX to store whether, for example, you want your password
           remembered or not, and other information. Cookies used on the GMX website do not contain personally identifiable
           information.
    
  • Log Files

    Like most standard websites, we use log files. This information may include
           internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform
           type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the
           aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. However, none of the information stored
           in our log files, including but not limited to IP addresses, is linked to personally identifiable information.
    
  • How we use this information

    GMX may use the personally identifiable information collected by GMX to contact
           customers regarding products and services offered by GMX and, to the extent the user has agreed to it, by its
           trusted affiliates, independent contractors and business partners. We may also use this information for research
           purposes regarding the effectiveness of our website services, marketing, advertising and sales efforts. Except
           as outlined below, GMX will not in any way share this information with a third party unless you specifically
           authorize such disclosures. GMX does not sell or rent your contact information to third parties.
    
  • Disclosure of Information

    GMX may also disclose aggregate, anonymous data based on information collected
           from users to investors and potential partners. In such cases, only statistical information will be disclosed
           and personally identifiable data will be kept confidential. In case GMX is sold, the information collected from
           users may be transferred to the new owners.
           GMX may from time to time engage third parties, including its own subsidiaries and affiliated companies, to
           preserve, analyze or otherwise store or manipulate data received by GMX from its customers. In all such cases,
           third party service providers will be required to treat all such data with the same degree of care as GMX and
           they will be prohibited from disclosing such data to any other person or party, except as otherwise provided for
           in this Privacy Policy.
           Though we make every effort to preserve your privacy, GMX may need to disclose personal information when
           required by law, or to comply with a judicial proceeding, a court order, subpoena or other legal process served
           on GMX, in GMX’s sole discretion. GMX may also disclose information about you if we determine that for national
           security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary.
    
  • Special Offers and Updates

    Our customers and users will occasionally receive newsletters or emails with
           information on products, services, or special offers. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, GMX gives
           them the opportunity to opt-out from receiving these types of communications. To opt out of all non-service
           related communications please follow the instructions included in the mailing you receive.
    
  • Service Announcements

    On rare occasions, it is necessary to send out a strictly service-related
           announcement, if, for instance, our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance. Generally, users may not
           opt-out of these communications, though they can deactivate their account. However, these communications are not
           promotional in nature.
    
  • Legal Disclaimer

    The GMX website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that GMX is not
           responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of
           each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. The GMX Privacy Policy as described
           herein applies solely to informationm collected by GMX.
    
  • Maintenance of Information

    The information provided to GMX is saved indefinitely and may be stored on
           one or more databases directly or indirectly maintained by GMX. GMX employs industry-standard security measures
           to protect the confidentiality of the information. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of
           data will not occur; we make every effort to prevent such occurrences.
    
  • Your Responsibility

    You are responsible for the security of your Customer ID and passwords.
           Make sure you keep them in a safe place and do not share them with others. Always remember to log out after your
           session ends to ensure that others cannot access your private personal information. You should take this
           precaution even if you are not using a public computer, such as at a library or internet café, but even when
           using your private computer in your home.
    
  • Questions

    Any questions concerning this Privacy Policy may be posted on the customer
           support bulletin board.
