Brinex Privacy Policy

Brinex, LLC ("Brinex") respects your right to privacy.

Brinex is committed to protecting your privacy. That is why we have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is intended to describe how your personal information is processed and used, and we will make every effort to ensure that our activities keep within the spirit of this Privacy Policy. Please note that by visiting and using brinex.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Privacy Policy Effective Date / Updates

This Privacy Policy is effective as of January 1, 2008. Our business changes constantly. This Privacy Policy will change also, and use of information that we gather now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time of use. We may e-mail periodic reminders of material changes to our Privacy Policy, unless you have instructed us not to, but you should check our web site frequently to see recent changes. Notice of any changes to this Privacy Policy shall be given by posting the version of the Privacy Policy containing such changes on this web site.

What Information is Brinex gathering about its visitors and how is it being used?

Every computer connected to the Internet is provided with a domain name (e.g. aol.com) and an IP Address (e.g. 192.168.10.123). When a visitor requests a page from within the Brinex website, our Web Servers automatically identify and log the HTTP request that is made to our Web Server. This information reveals nothing personal about you. In fact, the only information that we automatically gather and log is as follows:

The IP address of the site that may have referred you.

Your IP address.
The web page that you may have linked to us from, if any.
The web pages you visit on the Brinex site.
The time and date you visited the Brinex site.
Whether this is your first visit or a return visit.
The product identifier for version and make of browser (e.g. Internet Explorer 6.02).
The Operating System platform that you may be running (e.g. Macintosh, Windows, or Linux).
Search words or terms that are passed from a search engine (e.g. AltaVista, Yahoo, or Google).

There is absolutely nothing special about the information just described, and the practice of collecting this data has been generally standardized by virtually every Web Server on the Internet today.

The purpose for this information is actually two-fold. One, Brinex has found it advantageous to examine visitor traffic in its aggregate, so that we can ensure maximum compatibility for the various Browsers and Operating Systems that visit our site. Additionally, as any business should attest, it is our desire to generate greater amounts of visitor traffic. By analyzing visitation patterns, referring URLs and Search Engine terms, we can strategically enhance our exposure on the Internet.

What about Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data that are transferred to your computer's hard drive through your web browser from our web server. A cookie cannot read data from your hard disk or read cookie files that may have been created from other sites. The Brinex website utilizes cookies as a means of providing personalization features to our visitors. For example, we utilize cookies to remember settings (display preferences, whether you have played our demo movie or not, etc.) that you may have made at our website.

What other information does Brinex request?

We may also request your e-mail address or mailing address for the purposes of conducting a survey, adding you to our mailing list, or by your request to have someone contact you for additional information. Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will clearly indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the information is requested. We maintain a strict "No Spam" policy that means we do not intend to sell, rent, or otherwise give your e-mail address to a third-party, without your consent.

In addition, Brinex will not send you e-mail that you have not agreed to receive. If you are a member of our Mailing List, you will be contacted with announcements, news, portfolio additions, and new products or services. You have the option of "Unsubscribing" from our Mailing List at any time, thereby disabling any further such e-mail communication from being sent to you. If you wish to have specific communications with a member of the Brinex staff, you will be required to provide specific information that will be routed to the appropriate contact within Brinex.

What information does Brinex collect when I purchase something?

If you purchase something, such as software, we need to obtain the appropriate information in order to complete the transaction. Depending upon the method of payment that you select and your location, the required information may vary. However, generally speaking we will need:

Your name
Billing address (for credit card orders)
Shipping address
E-mail address
Phone number
Credit card number (for credit card orders)
Expiration date (for credit card orders)

We use shopping cart features that safeguard this information by using industry standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encrypted servers. SSL encodes the information transferred between you and the server, rendering it unreadable to anyone trying to intercept the information.

Will Brinex disclose the information collected to Third Parties?

Brinex will disclose your personal information or any of its log file information when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such actions are necessary to:

Conform to the edicts of the law or comply with a legal process served on Brinex.
Protect and defend the rights or property of Brinex, or visitors of Brinex.
Identify persons who may be violating the law, the legal notice, or the rights of third parties.
Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities.

Brinex uses reasonable precautions to keep the information disclosed to us secure. Brinex reserves the right to transfer information in connection with the sale of all or part of Brinex capital stock or assets to any third party. Furthermore, we are not responsible for any breach of security or for any actions of any third parties that receive the information. Brinex also provides "links" to a wide variety of other web sites on the Internet. We are not responsible for their Privacy Policies or how those web sites manage information about their users. We strongly urge you to check with those web sites to determine their privacy policy.

Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted on this page so that you are always aware of the information that we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
