| PRIVACY POLICY AND INTERNET SAFETY INFORMATION |
| The
Internet, Privacy, and Redas.com |
|
The Internet contains a wealth of information, unfortunately, it may also contain personal details about you that you don't want everyone to know. For example, your real name (lots of people on the Internet use aliases, alter egos or nicknames), street address, phone number, or e-mail address. When you go online, sites you visit may be gathering information about you without your knowledge. At Redas.com, we try to help our users protect their privacy while using our services. |
| Redas.com's
Privacy Policy |
| Redas.com’s
policy is to respect and protect the privacy of our users. This policy
statement tells you how we collect information from you and how we use
it. Using the Internet should be a enjoyable experience and we want to
help you make it so. |
| The
information you provide for your personal Redas.com account is not
shared among the links in our Portal. Therefore, be assured that
Redas.com will not disclose your personal information to third parties
without your consent. |
| However,
Redas.com may disclose user information in special cases when we have
reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to
identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be
causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or
unintentionally) Redas.com's rights or property, other Redas.com users,
or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. In short,
Redas.com may disclose user information when we believe in good faith
that the law requires it. |
| Another
situation where user information is disclosed is for the purpose of
sharing and reporting aggregate information about our users with
advertisers, business partners, sponsors and other third parties. For
example, we will say Redas.com's audience is x percent females and y
percent males. This data is used to customize Redas.com content and
advertising to deliver a better surfing experience for our users. |
| There
are cases where Redas.com may ask you for personal information such as
your name, email address, and birth date. For example, we request
personal information when you register for a Redas.com account, for
online purchases or transactions, or for services that require
registration or subscription (for example Property Review). Redas.com
needs to collect this information for tracking/verifying compliance with
Redas.com policies as well as the laws in Singapore and/or for editorial
and feedback solicitation purposes. |
| In
case you change your mind or some personal information may change (such
as your address), you can always edit, update or remove the personal
data you give us in “My Account” |
Use of IP Address |
| An
IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer
whenever you're surfing the Internet. Web servers -- the big computers
that "serve up" Web pages -- automatically identify your
computer by its IP address. |
| Redas.com
collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to
report aggregate information to our advertisers, and to audit the use of
our site. When guests request pages from Redas.com sites, our servers
log the guests' IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to
anything personally identifiable, which means that a user's session will
be logged, but the user remains anonymous to us. We can and will use IP
addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce
compliance with our house rules or terms of service or to protect our
service, site, users or others. |
| Some
services within Redas.com, such as certain message boards, may display
IP addresses along with the message poster's name and message. Please
review each service prior to use and only use those that disclose
information you are comfortable with sharing. |
| Use
of Cookies |
| What
are cookies? Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers
to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make
Web-surfing easier for you by saving your preferences while you're at
our site. We never save passwords or credit card information in cookies.
The use of cookies is an industry standard -- you'll find them at most
major Web sites. |
| By showing how and when guests use a site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the information from cookies to provide services better tailored to our users needs. |
| Redas.com
has two primary uses for its cookies. First, we use them to specify
unique preferences. For example, for members to request for automatic
e-mail notifications based on their search criteria. |
| Secondly,
we use cookies to track user trends and patterns. This helps us better
understand and improve areas of the Redas.com Portal that our users find
valuable. While both of these activities depend on the use of a
"cookie," visitors to Redas.com always have the option of
disabling cookies via their browser preferences. Information from
cookies is sometimes attached to messages sent to our administrator. |
| Most
browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your
browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent.
However, note that some parts of the Redas.com service will not function
properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies. |
| You
may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers. Redas.com does not
control these cookies. The use of advertising cookies sent by
third-party servers is standard in the Internet industry. |
| Links
to Other Sites |
| Users
should be aware that when you are on Redas.com, you could be directed to
other sites when you click on links to other sites, or on a banner
advertisement. These other sites may send their own cookies to users,
collect data or solicit personal information. |
| Please
keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information online ---
for example, via message boards or chat --- that information can be
collected and used by people you don't know. While Redas.com strives to
protect its user's personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee
the security of any information you disclose online and you do so at
your own risk. |
| Redas.com's
policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of
the Internet, and therefore beyond Redas.com's control. Redas.com’s
policy is also not to be applied in any manner contrary to applicable
law or governmental regulation. |
| Security |
| The
importance of security for all personally identifiable information
associated with our users is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great
care in providing secure transmission of your information from your PC
to our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet
can be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your
personal information, Redas.com can't ensure or warrant the security of
any information you transmit to us or from our online products or
services, and you do so at your own risk. However, once we receive your
transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our
systems. |
| Your
Redas.com Account is password protected so that only you can access it
and view the member information relevant to your account. We recommend
that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Redas.com will never
ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or email.
Ultimately, you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your
passwords and any account information. |
| Remember
to sign out of your Redas.com account and close your browser window when
you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access
your personal information and correspondence if your computer is
accessible to others or if you share a computer with someone else or are
using a computer in a public place like a library or internet cafe. |
| Your
Acceptance of These Terms |
| By
using this site, you signify your agreement to the Redas.com Privacy
Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not surf our
Portal. Your continued use of the Redas.com web site following the
posting of changes to these terms will mean that you accept those
changes. |
