This Privacy Policy applies to PowerNet Global's family of Web sites and governs the collection and use of user information. PowerNet Global encourages you to read this Privacy Policy carefully.
Collection of Personal Information
PowerNet Global collects personal information from its users in different ways as more fully described below.

Technical Support and Customer Service
When you contact PowerNet Global for technical support or customer service, you may be asked to provide your name, telephone number or e-mail address. PowerNet Global uses such information to provide the requested service and does not share it with outside parties except as provided below (see "Use of Personal Information by PowerNet Global").
Other Collection
Please remember that if you directly disclose personal information through e-mail, chat rooms, instant messaging, online shopping (see below) or by other such means of online communication, that information could be collected and used by others. PowerNet Global does not read any of your online communications.
Use of Personal Information by PowerNet Global
PowerNet Global uses the information to personalize and deliver the services you have requested and to manage your account. PowerNet Global Web sites also use this information to inform you of other products or services available from PowerNet Global.
Generally, PowerNet Global does not disclose customer information to third parties. In some instances, where PowerNet Global is engaged with a trusted partner in a joint promotion, PowerNet Global may provide its partner with certain information such as the name, address and username of Subscribers for the sole purpose of assessing the results of the promotion. The partner will be bound by this Privacy Policy just as PowerNet Global is and will not use the information for any other purpose. PowerNet Global may also share nonidentifying aggregate information (for example the number of PowerNet Global Subscribers but not their names or addresses).
PowerNet Global will disclose personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to (1) comply with the order of any court or governmental agency; or (2) protect and defend the rights or property of PowerNet Global or PowerNet Global's users.
Online Shopping
Some Web sites allow users to purchase products and services or to register to receive catalogs, product or service updates, or other materials. In such cases, you may be asked to provide contact information such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address and credit/debit card information if you are making a purchase. PowerNet Global has no control over third party Web sites or their use of any personal information you provide to them. If you order products or services directly from PowerNet Global, we use any personal information collected to process and fill your order. We do not share such information with outside parties except as described above.
Commitment to Security
PowerNet Global has instituted security measures covering the Services and Web sites we sponsor to protect against loss, misuse or alteration of information under our control. While we make every effort to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party "hackers" from illegally obtaining this information.
