TRANSFERR PRIVACY POLICY, UPDATED 2/03/2008.
expires 2010.
Transferr is committed to providing our users with a seamless
and comfortable experience with the site. For this reason we are serious about
your Privacy and the safety of your personal information, preferences and links
that you provide in order for the site to operate. This Privacy Policy outlines
the ways in which we deal with your information and our policy regarding its
management. This policy also advises users about their interaction and safety
regarding personal activity online. If you wish to contact us about what information we have collected on you, please email us and we'll be more than happy to assist.
Information Collected by Transferr:
1. Provided Information: Transferr requires
users give certain personal information in order to take advantage of
continuing support and information. This information
is stored by Transferr in a private
and secure environment.
1.1 Registration: Users who register with Transferr are required to give a username and password and
their email address. This is to improve security and to help us contact you in
the event of an issue with service or to inform you of changes to the site that
could affect your usage of the site. Transferr
recommends that users create usernames that are not entirely descriptive, i.e.
if your name is 'John Smith' we don't recommend a username like 'johnsmith', as this could lead to others inferring that
your name is 'John Smith'. Please choose passwords carefully. For maximum
security, numbers, letters and punctuation marks are recommended to be used. Do
not use the name of pets, loved ones or anything easily guessable. Transferr takes your Privacy and Identity Theft seriously,
if you are concerned that someone has discovered your password, ensure you
change it, or close your account with us.
1.2 Icons and Links: Users of Transferr will submit links they wish to quickly access,
which will generate icons. Transferr will store this
information in order to allow users to save changes to their links. Transferr neither views nor shares this information with
any person, company or group.

collects information about the user and their preferences in order to ensure
ease of use.

activities of a user.
