OVERVIEW

The privacy practices of this Privacy Policy apply to our services included on InitialView.com, 初鉴.com and their sub- and related domains (together, “InitialView.com”).  By visiting InitialView.com, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.  If you do not agree, please do not use or access InitialView.com.

This Privacy Policy describes the information that we collect from you as part of the normal operation of our services and what may happen to that information.  Although this policy may seem long, we have prepared a detailed policy so that you understand the goals (and limitations) of InitialView.com.

By accepting the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use when you use InitialView.com, you expressly consent to our use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.  This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to our Terms of Use.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is for optimizing InitialView.com and our services and for improving our marketing efforts so as to better reach current and potential customers.

We keep track of the information you enter on InitialView.com.  We use this information to do internal research on how to optimize InitialView.com and to help us better understand, protect and serve you and our community.  Other information we keep track of may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on InitialView.com or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on InitialView.com or not), your computer browser information and your IP address.

We may in the future use data collection devices such as “cookies” on certain pages of InitialView.com to help analyze our web page flow, measure promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety.  “Cookies” are small files placed on your hard drive that assist us in providing our services.  We offer certain features that are only available through the use of a “cookie”.  Cookies can also help us provide information that is targeted to your interests.  Most cookies are “session cookies” (except for chocolate chip cookies, which are delicious), meaning that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of a session.  You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although in that case you may not be able to use certain features on InitialView.com.

If you choose to post messages or to leave feedback for us, we may retain such information you provide.  We retain this information as necessary to provide customer support and troubleshoot problems.

If you send us personal correspondence, such as e-mails or letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings on InitialView.com, we may collect such information into a file specific to you.

OUR DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION

We do not sell or rent any of your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.  However, the following describes some of the potential scenarios in which that the information we collect may, in some instances, be disclosed.

LEGAL REQUESTS

InitialView.com cooperates with law enforcement inquiries, as well as with other third parties, to enforce laws and rights. Partially due to the existing regulatory environment of the countries in which we store information, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personal information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.  By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose personal information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, or users may abuse or misuse your personal information that they collect from InitialView.com.  Therefore, although we use various means to protect your privacy (as described in part below), we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private.

YOUR USE OF OTHER USERS’ INFORMATION

By entering into our Terms of Use, you agree that, with respect to other users’ personal information that you obtain through InitialView.com, and you will not disclose personal information about another user to any third party without the consent (express or implied) of such user or without our written consent. In addition, under no circumstances can you disclose personal information about another user to any third party without our consent and the consent of that user. Note that law enforcement personnel and other rights holders are given different rights with respect to information they access.

Your information is stored on InitialView’s servers located in the People’s Republic of China (as well as on servers located in the United States).  We use procedural and technical safeguards to protect your personal information against loss or theft as well as unauthorized access and disclosure to protect your privacy.  We treat data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access.  We employ different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorized access by users inside and outside the company.  However, “perfect security” does not exist on the Internet.

NOTICE

We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the amended terms on InitialView.com.  All amended terms shall automatically be effective after they are initially posted on InitialView.com.
