Personal Information That BadAppleESIMS.com Collects and How It
Is Used
Introduction. BadAppleESIMS.com collects information in different
ways from Visitors and Members who access the various parts of our Services and
the network of Web sites accessible through our Service.
Registration: Members may be asked to provide certain personal
information when they sign up for our Products or Services including name,
address, telephone number, billing information (such as a credit card number),
and the type of personal computer being used to access the Services. The
personal information collected from Members during the registration process is
used to manage each Member's account (such as for billing purposes). This
information may be shared with third parties, as stated herein, or in special
circumstances.
However, in instances where BadAppleESIMS.com and a partner jointly promote Services,
we may provide the partner certain personal information, such as the name,
address, and username of persons who subscribed to the Services as a result of
the joint promotion for the purpose of offering you other Products and
Services.
In this instance personal information may not be used by the partner for any
other purpose. We may also generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles from
personal information Members provide during registration (such as the total
number, but not the names, of Members). As explained in more detail below, we
may use this aggregated and non-identifying information to sell advertisements
that appear on the Services.
Also, with purchases, we may supply our member's contact information, to our
business partners, who may then contact the member by telephone or mail after
the member purchase. Sales proceeds may be collected by that business partner.
We also may supply other companies with contact information for mail offers we
believe would be of interest to our members, with or without compensation from
those companies. At times we may send an advertisement for a third party
product, where we collect the sales proceeds, and forward the purchaser's
information to that third party.
Our BadAppleESIMS.com Partners and Sponsors: Some products and services may be
offered to Visitors and Members in conjunction with an affiliate, independent
contractor seller or non-affiliated partner. To provide Visitors and Members
some of these products and services, the partner may need to collect and
maintain personal information.
Online Shopping: At some Web sites, you can purchase products and services or
register to receive materials, such as a newsletter, catalog or new product and
service updates. In many cases, you may be asked to provide contact
information, such as your name, address, email address, phone number, and
credit/debit card information.
If you complete an order for someone else, such as an online gift order sent
directly to a recipient, you may be asked to provide information about the
recipient, such as the recipient's name, address, and phone number.
BadAppleESIMS.com has no control over the third parties' use of any personal
information you provide when placing such an order. Please exercise care when
doing so.
If you order services or products directly from BadAppleESIMS.com, we use the
personal information you provide to process that order. We do share this
information with outside parties that we do business with.
Online Advertisements: Our website may display our online advertisements. In
those cases we share information about our Visitors and Members collected
through the registration process as well as through online surveys and
promotions with these advertisers.
Additionally, in some instances, we use this information to deliver tailored
advertisements or joint ventures. For instance, an advertiser or joint venture
partner tells us the audience they want to reach and provides us an
advertisement tailored to the audience. Based upon the information we have
collected, we may then display or send the advertisement to the intended
audience. BadAppleESIMS.com does share personal information about its Visitors or
Members with these advertisers or joint venture companies.
Responses to Email Inquiries: When Visitors or Members send email inquiries to
our website, the return email address is used to answer the email inquiry we
receive.
Voluntary Customer Surveys: We may periodically conduct both business and
individual customer surveys. We encourage our customers to participate in these
surveys because they provide us with important information that helps us to
improve the types of products and services we offer and how we provide them to
you.
We may take the information we receive from individuals responding to our
Customer Surveys and combine (or aggregate) it with the responses of other
customers we may have, to create broader, generic responses to the survey
questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education, employment,
industry sector, or other demographic information). We then use the aggregated
information to improve the quality of our services to you, and to develop new
services and products. This aggregated, non-personally identifying information
may be shared with third parties.
Special Cases: It is BadAppleESIMS.com's policy to use or share the personal
information about Visitors or Members in ways described herein without
additional notice or means to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated
uses.
Also, we may disclose personal information about Visitors or Members, or
information regarding your use of the Services or Web sites accessible through
our Services, for any reason if, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is
reasonable to do so, including: credit agencies, collection agencies, merchant
database agencies, law enforcement, or to satisfy laws, such as the Electronic
Communications Privacy Act, the Child Online Privacy Act, regulations, or
governmental or legal requests for such information; to disclose information
that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone
who may be violating our Acceptable Use Policy or Terms Of Service, or other
user policies; to operate the Services properly; or to protect BadAppleESIMS.com and
our Members.
