Copper Range appreciates your interest in its services and your visit to this Web site. The protection of your privacy is an important concern to which we pay special attention during our business practices. Below is a detailed accounting of what information we collect from users of our site, how we use that information, and how we insure that information is not misused. This statement supplements the privacy information present in Copper Range's Terms of Use agreement.
COLLECTED INFORMATION
Copper Range collects information from registered users of the services that
Copper Range provides through a variety of mechanisms. Some of these mechanisms
are apparent to our users and some are not.
Apparent Information Collection. During the use of a Copper Range service, Copper Range collects two classes of information, "Service Content" and "User Content". Service Content is any materials, files, communications, and documents posted by users in conjunction with the service. All other user-supplied materials, files, communications, and documents, excluding the Service Content, is referred to as User Content. Both Service Content and User Content are supplied explicitly by users through paper-based and online-based form submittals and are stored in a Copper Range database.
Two subclasses of User Content that Copper Range collects are "Contact Information" and "Billing Information". Contact Information is collected from all registered users of its services. This information includes a user's full name, login name, password, e-mail address, and an answer to a personal question that is used to help Copper Range verify a user's identity should they forget their login name or password. Copper Range collects Billing Information from all of its customers who have registered to use a for-pay service. Billing Information consists of information such as a billing contact name, a company name, mailing address, and telephone number.
Non-Apparent Information Collection. Copper Range also collects information about users that is implicitly supplied by users during their use of a Copper Range service. This information is saved in Log Files and Database Tables on Copper Range's servers, and in Cookies on a user's client computer. Copper Range tracks what, when, by whom, and from where Service Content is created, deleted, downloaded, uploaded, and viewed. Copper Range also tracks when users become registered, deregistered, and when registered users log into a service.
Regarding Cookies, Copper Range uses them solely to make using its Web site more efficient for users. Copper Range does NOT use cookies to track user activity on its Web site. Users of Copper Range's services must enable cookies in their Web browsers to use the services.
INFORMATION SHARING
In general, Copper Range may access all Apparent and Non-Apparent information it
collects in order to:
Copper Range does not share any information it collects with third parties unless noted below.
Service Content. For the particular service, ProjectStore, ProjectStore Content is shared solely among subsets of the project members at the discretion of the Administrator of the project. All project participants may download and view information posted by other project participants. A project's Administrator may upload files, documents, communications, etc. for other project participants to download and view, and a project's Administrator may grant similar upload privileges to other project participants. The identity of a user who uploads any materials is generally known to those who have permission to download and view the materials.
User Content. For the ProjectStore service, project participants may or may not know the identities, e.g. the names and e-mail addresses, of one another depending on the discretion of a project's Administrator who has the option of making or not making that information available to other project participants.
Copper Range does not share Billing or Contact information with any third party except when it is required to (a) complete a transaction that is initiated from a Copper Range site by a registered Copper Range user with the user's consent; or (b) comply with a court order. In general, Copper Range uses Billing and Contact information only to effect billing that may take place between Copper Range and its registered users, and to alert its registered users of new services or changes to existing services.
Non-Apparent Information. The Non-Apparent Information that Copper Range collects is used solely to instrument the billing process, and to serve as a means to resolve disputes that may arise among registered users or between registered users and Copper Range. In particular, Copper Range tracks total storage used and aggregate bandwidth consumed by users on a per-project/per company basis for billing purposes. This information is also made available to project Administrators and the billing contact at each customer company to help them monitor their own usage of system resources. Copper Range also makes certain Service Content access information available to project Administrators, such as if, when, and how many times project participants have viewed a particular document. But, project Administrators only view this information when it pertains to Service Content of a project they administer.
SECURITY
Copper Range makes every effort to follow industry standard security measures to
prevent the loss, misuse, and corruption of the information under our control. For
Copper Range services, all
information is encrypted during its transmission between a registered user's computer
and a Copper Range server, and vice versa. Copper Range does its best to insure that
its databases are accessible only to legitimate registered users through Copper Range
sanctioned interfaces, and to authorized Copper Range system administrators.
