Overview Your privacy is very important to us. The policy at Valis Inc. is to respect and protect the privacy of visitors to our web site. The purpose of this privacy policy is to provide you with a description of the type of information we collect and how we use that information. This statement applies solely to information collected on this website.
Information Collection and Use
Valis Inc is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Valis Inc. collects information from our users at several different points on our website.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user may not be able to access the secure webmail portal.
Log Files
We may use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.
Links
This web site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we Valis Inc. are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Email
Users of the Valis Inc. email servers are given a set limit to storage. It is up to the end user to maintain their email account, to prevent overflow and disruption to their email service.
We recommend that users also practice "safe" email usage, including, but not limited to ensuring the validity of any attachments to email, and virus scanning of their inbox. It is highly recommended that the end user backs up any important correspondence, as Valis Inc. can not be held responsible for any loss of data or damage to user systems.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.
While on a secure page, such as our webmail login, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just ‘surfing’. To learn more about SSL, follow this link http://ca.search.yahoo.com/search/ca?p=ssl&y=on.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an e-mail to admin@valisinc.com
Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming e-mail to verify password and username. Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members are not able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important information about the service. We communicate with the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account via e-mail or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information:
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as your postal code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user’s personal data provided to us. This can usually be done by emailing our Customer Support.
Notification of Changes
Any changes our privacy policy will be posted on this webpage, so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of this page. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
