Privacy Policy

McLeod uses cookies to determine whether you came to www.McLeodSoftware.com from a particular Internet link, referring web site or search engine, as well as for tracking traffic patterns and usage of our web site. Cookies help us personalize your visit to our web site and help save you time when accessing our web site after your initial visit. “Cookies” are pieces of data that are transferred to and stored on your hard drive from our web site. Cookies do not retain your personal information. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser setup to prevent or reject cookies. If you reject the use of a cookie, however, your access on our web site may be limited to certain areas of our web site.

In certain circumstances, we may have business partners who use cookies on our web site. However, we have no access to, or control over, these third party cookies after we have given them permission to display images or provide links on our web site.

This web site may contain links to other web sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other web sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our web site and to read the privacy policies of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information from you. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by the McLeod web site.

Like most standard web site servers, we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. Such log files are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on our web site (for example, on message boards, chat rooms or through email) that information may be collected and used by others. By posting personal information on our web site that is publicly accessible by others, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

This web site takes every precaution to protect your information. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information offline. McLeod does not supply your information to other parties. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only personnel who need the information to perform a specific job function (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. If you have any questions about the security of our web site, please email us at webmaster@mcleodsoftware.com.

If your personal information changes (such as zip code, phone number, email address or mailing address), or if you no longer desire to receive any communication from McLeod, we provide a way to correct, update or delete your personal information. Please email us at webmaster@mcleodsoftware.com with any changes or reply “unsubscribe” in the subject line of a return email.

Though we make every effort to preserve your privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law when we have a good faith determination that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on us or our web site.

In the event McLeod goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition or selling a portion of its assets, your personal information submitted to us will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.
