HealthyEmail Privacy Policy

(Last Update January 1, 2003)

HealthyEmail ("we," "us" or "our") operates a Web site located at www.healthyemail.org (the "Site") from which users can register for secure email services provided by ZixCorp (the "ZixCorp Services"). This HealthyEmail Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") covers our treatment of personally identifiable information that we collect when you access the Site.

Definition of Services

HealthyEmail provides one ZixCorp Service, ZixMail.

ZixMail is a secure messaging email service that allows a user to send encrypted email to other ZixMail users without anyone else being able to decrypt the message. Each user must download and install the ZixMail client software on their PC. During installation of the software, the user generates a public and private key pair for use in encrypting and decrypting ZixMail messages. Your public key is stored on the ZixCorp public key server and may be accessed by anyone who knows your email address and wishes to encrypt and send a ZixMail message to you. The sender and recipients must have installed the ZixMail client software and generated public and private key pairs. Your private key is kept on your PC and is stored encrypted with a Password known only to you. For more information about ZixCorp's privacy policy please visit http://www.zixcorp.com/privacy.php.

Information Collection and Use

HealthyEmail can receive a variety of "personally identifiable information," as described below.

HealthyEmail also automatically receives and records certain non-personally identifiable information about you when you visit our Web site. Such information includes your IP address, browser type (such as Internet Explorer or Netscape), referring page, pages visited and time spent on our Web site. HealthyEmail uses WebTrends Live to analyze traffic to our Web site. WebTrends Live does not create individual profiles for visitors -- it only collects aggregate data.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

HealthyEmail will not sell or rent your email address, name, mailing address, or other personally identifiable information you provide. HealthyEmail will not share your email address, first or last name, mailing address, or other personally identifiable information you provide with anyone, except as stated below.
We may disclose personally identifiable information about you as legally required in order for us to respond to subpoenas, court orders or other legal processes.
We may disclose personally identifiable information about you (a) with your consent or (b) where disclosure is necessary in order to complete a transaction to which you have consented.
We may partner with third parties to obtain specific services for you. If you sign up for these services, we will share information that is necessary in order for the third party to provide these services. Third-party service providers are not permitted to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.

IP Addresses

When your Web browser or email application requests a Web page from another computer on the Internet, it automatically gives that computer the address where the requested information should be sent. This is called your computer's "IP address." (IP stands for "Internet protocol.") For most users accessing the Internet from a dial-up ISP, the IP address may be different every time you log on.

Information Collection and Use Practices

ZixCorp receives your IP address each time you view a Web page from the Site. Your IP address is not linked to your email address or ZixMail.net PassPhrase.
Your IP address may be used for various purposes, including:

to diagnose service or technology problems reported by you that are associated with your IP address, or
to estimate the total number of users visiting the Site from specific locals, countries or regions of the world.

Log Files

When a Web page on the Site is requested, that request (including the date and time) is logged on our servers with information including the IP address of the computer that requested the page.
We use log files for debugging and troubleshooting purposes. IP addresses and access times are not linked to your email address.

Links; Other Companies' Cookies on the Site

The Site may contain (1) links to other Web sites or (2) banner ads provided by other Web sites. We have no access to or control over cookies used by our business partners or other Web sites to which we link.
In the event that a banner ad is provided by a third-party advertiser, it is possible that the third-party advertiser may attempt to store a cookie on your computer's hard drive. For information on your browser preference options, see "Choices about Cookies" above.
Advertisers' and other Web sites’ use of cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not the ZixCorp Privacy Policy. ZixCorp is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to check the privacy policies of these sites before disclosing any personal information. The ZixCorp Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by this Site.

Data Storage

ZixMail Account Information

Most ZixMail account information (including email addresses, public keys, names and mailing addresses) is stored on multiple redundant disk storage systems. No removable offline copies or backups are made.
If you request deletion of your ZixMail account, your account will be deactivated within 30 days, and your personal information will be removed from our user registration database.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

HealthyEmail may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any substantial changes in the way we use your personal information, we will notify you by posting a prominent announcement on the Site.
We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which it was collected.
