One Click Map (OCM) is a service of NetChain Communications. OCM follows the guidelines for privacy policy established by NetChain Communications outlined on this page.
INTRODUCTION:
NetChain Communications is committed to protecting the privacy of our Visitors and Customers. Our privacy policy governs our use of private Visitor information and other information about our Visitors and Customers.
Purpose
NetChain Communications believes that our online Visitors and Customers need to be provided clear and prominent notice regarding what personal information is being collected about them, how it will be used, whether or not it will be disclosed, and if so, to whom.
Many entities have examined the issue of privacy and developed guidelines for establishing reasonable policies. We believe that by addressing these issues, we will fulfill the goals of fair information use supported by the U.S. government and a variety of industry groups:
The Glossary of Terms at the end of this Policy defines words with specific meaning as used in these guidelines.
PRIVACY GUIDELINES:
Navigational Data/Tracking.
- NetChain Communications collects navigational data about where individual site Visitors come from, exit to, and go while on our website. We do not disclose this information to third parties, except for those with whom we have contracted to analyze and safeguard the data on our behalf.
- We may use web browser "cookies" to track progress through our Web site, but the cookies will not be used to collect or store individually identifiable information. However, we may use cookies with individual identifiers to support visitor enhancements such as site personalization or other eCommerce features such as product recommendations and your shopping cart.
Information Sharing/Disclosure.
- We do not share navigational data with outside companies, except with those with whom we have contracted to analyze and safeguard the data on our behalf.
- To offer our products and services in the best way possible, NetChain Communications contracts with third party service partners. These partners provide us with data collection, storage, analysis and reporting services and are restricted from using the information about your behaviour on our websites or websites of our clients in any way other than to help us make our sites and services more useful to you and our other Visitors. If you would like to opt-out of having information about your behaviour on our websites collected by the company with whom we have contracted, please click here.
- We do not disclose individual Customer names or contact information (such as telephone numbers, email
address, or various personal identification numbers), to any third party without prior consent, except as
required by law, or as needed to fulfill an order or deliver a product that a Customer has ordered.
Additionally, we may share information with law enforcement agencies or other companies assisting us in
fraud prevention or investigations.
In support of maintaining a safe and secure environment for credit card purchases, it is essential to our Customers that we use credit card and other billing account numbers only for the fulfillment of purchases or other transactions initiated by our Customers. We do not use credit card or other billing account numbers in other ways without prior consent of our Customers except as noted in this Policy. - We do not release to third parties specific Customer account information except to comply with valid legal process or in reasonable efforts to fulfill transactions initiated by our Customers.
- We provide Customers with the opportunity to update or correct contact and billing information.
- We provide to our Customers a means to update and ensure the accuracy of their online contact and
billing information. For security reasons, we will not disclose the original information directly to the
Customer, but rather provide a means to re-enter changes to the information on file.
To update information on file including removal of any and all stored credit card information, Customers may log into the secure My Account page here, or by contacting Customer Service here.
Online Purchases.
The objective of the online purchases principle is to protect the information about Customer transactions and other online uses from misuse and unauthorized disclosure.
- We may use information about the kinds of products you buy from us to make other marketing offers to you, unless you tell us not to, or to personalize your visits to our Web site. We do not give out this purchase data to others except as specified below:
- We do not give out information about what individual Customers purchase, except to complete the transactions or to comply with valid legal process. However, pursuant to specific contracts, we may be required to provide third-parties with listings of specific groups of Customers who have made purchases. Generally, this data will be aggregated and not individually identifiable, but this may not be true in all cases.
- When we facilitate a transaction which is to be fulfilled by an outside party, we will not use the specific, individually identifiable transaction information collected from a Customer for purposes other than fulfilling the transaction without your prior consent.
Choice.
We give you choices about how we use your personal information. The objective of the choice principle is to allow Customers to opt-out of future marketing offers.
- We do not maintain any marketing or subscribers lists. We do not send out any unsolicited mail to our clients, except when it is addressed directly to you.
- We do not sell or rent Customer contact information to unaffiliated third parties for marketing purposes without your prior consent.
Safeguarding Personal Information.
The objective of the safeguarding personal information principle is to take reasonable steps to protect your privacy using a variety of security procedures and controls. We use specialized technology, privacy protection controls and restrictions on employee access in an effort to safeguard your personal information.
- We implement a variety of security measures to safeguard personal consumer information. Among other things, we employ Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to keep sensitive data secure in transit between your computer and our web servers.

- We do not allow our employees to access personal information unless such access is warranted by business necessity.
- We also require companies contracted as agents to take reasonable steps to safeguard any personal consumer information they handle on our behalf.
- We require employees to acknowledge that they understand and will comply with our Privacy Policy.
Notice.
