"Designed and Maintained by Second Kiss Wireless" Services
|
|
Second Kiss Wireless may directly manage web sites for other corporations, agencies, or organizations. During the registration process at these sites, which are clearly marked with the logo, "Designed and Maintained by Second Kiss Wireless," Second Kiss Wireless is the only party that collects registration information, and it will be protected in accordance with this Privacy
Policy.
|
|
|
|
Why do we collect personal information?
|
|
We, and in general our clients, principally collect personal information for the following reasons:
|
|
|
To provide you with better service, e.g. notify you when new schedule data is
available, notify you of advisories relating to your travel plans, or send other information related to your transit services;
|
|
To gather data about how users seek or access data, e.g. which stations, lines, or time periods are most popular among our service users;
|
|
To gather your explicit feedback or suggestions for better service.
|
|
|
|
Personally Identifiable Information
|
|
Personally identifiable information can only be collected when you voluntarily provide it. Second Kiss Wireless collects personally identifiable information about you during the registration process for
a service. Currently, this is limited to your name and e-mail address. In addition to the registration process, Second Kiss Wireless and other third parties may ask you for personal information at other times during the course of your use of
the Second Kiss Wireless service.
|
|
Second Kiss Wireless will not sell, rent, or make your personally identifiable information available to a third party for a fee without your consent. Second Kiss Wireless may make personally identifiable information available to another company as described below:
|
|
|
When you provide your consent;
|
|
As necessary to maintain/operate the service, or to provide you with a product or service you've requested (subject to agreements of confidentiality and restrictions on use by the other company);
|
|
As needed to enforce our Terms and Conditions of use, or otherwise protect the rights/interests of Second Kiss Wireless, its users, or any third party;
|
|
When we have a good faith belief that the law or any legal process requires disclosure; or
|
|
If a company acquires all or substantially all of Second Kiss Wireless's assets or in a merger or acquisition, but only if such company agrees to abide by this Privacy
Policy.
|
|
In order to make your use of the service more enjoyable, Second Kiss Wireless will also use personally identifiable information internally to customize the information we display or send to you; to tell you about new products or promotions offered by Second Kiss Wireless or its strategic partners that we feel may interest you (you may opt-out during registration or as described below); and to contact you with important news about the use or maintenance of your Second Kiss Wireless account (sorry, no opt-out).

|
|
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
|
|
Second Kiss Wireless also collects non-personally identifiable information, such as preferences, zip code, and country of residence, during the registration process and throughout your use of the Second Kiss Wireless Site and service. This type of information, while it may provide a general profile of a user of the service, does not allow Second Kiss Wireless to identify you personally (e.g., by knowing your zip code or that you live in the U.S., we cannot identify you personally). Second Kiss Wireless uses this information to get a general idea of who is using the Second Kiss Wireless service and how they are using it. Second Kiss Wireless and its partners analyze non-personally identifiable information to determine service demand and to tailor our users' visit to the Second Kiss Wireless Site and use of
a service. Second Kiss Wireless also uses this information to generate statistical reports we share with our Content and Strategic Partners.

|
Collection of Non-Personally Identifiable Information (IP addresses / cookies)
|
|
Second Kiss Wireless may track your domain name, which typically identifies your Internet Service Provider, or IP address, a number recorded by our servers that is used to identify your computer, to help gather and track non-personally identifiable information. We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the Second Kiss Wireless Site, track users' movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. Neither IP addresses
n or domain names are linked to personally identifiable information.
|
|
Second Kiss Wireless also utilizes "cookie" technology. A cookie is a small amount of data sent to your browser from the Second Kiss Wireless Site and stored on your computer's hard drive for record keeping purposes. Cookies are used, among other things, to automatically remind us who you are when you return to the Second Kiss Wireless Site and to generally help improve the functionality of the Second Kiss Wireless Site and service. A cookie also allows us to store and access your account preferences and to customize your web space. For example, we use cookies so that your browser remembers the last origin / destination trip location query, which, more likely than not, is the same query you'll want to run next time. If you do not wish to have cookies placed on your computer, you can disable cookies through your Internet browser. However, disabling cookies will prevent you from fully experiencing the service and accessing most, if not all, of the Second Kiss Wireless
Site.

|
|
Opt-Out
|
|
Second Kiss Wireless does allow you to choose not to receive promotional e-mail communications from Second Kiss Wireless and its strategic partners. Although again, you cannot opt-out of receiving information from Second Kiss Wireless about the use and maintenance of your account. Users may opt-out during the initial registration process, or later by
following instructions in the My Account area of the Second Kiss Wireless Site. In addition, every promotional e-mail sent by Second Kiss Wireless or its strategic partners will contain instructions on how to unsubscribe from that particular mailing. The 'unsubscribe' instructions will, however, only pertain to that particular type of mailing (i.e. newsletters, surveys, etc.) and will not remove you from all promotional mailings sent by Second Kiss Wireless or its strategic partners.

Security
|
|
Protecting client privacy and personal information is a top priority at Second Kiss Wireless. We make significant efforts to ensure the privacy of all personally identifiable information you provide to us. Access to all user information is restricted. Only employees whose jobs require accessing user information are granted database access or administrator level accounts on servers that contain such information. All servers containing user information are kept behind locked doors in secure data centers and require a secure login to access them remotely.
|
|
Second Kiss Wireless uses password protection, industry standard network encryption (128-bit SSL), access logs, and system monitoring to safeguard the confidentiality of all user information. In addition, Second Kiss Wireless reviews its security procedures on a semi-annual basis. Nonetheless, due to the inherent dangers of the Internet, we cannot guarantee the protection of information under our control against loss, misuse or alteration.

Notification of Changes
|
|
Your personally identifiable information is subject to the Privacy Policy
in place at the time you submit such information. Second Kiss
Wireless may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time, but these
modifications will only apply to information submitted after notice of the
change has been given. Typically, we will post notice of a change on
the Second Kiss Wireless Site. If we substantially change our
Privacy Policy as it relates to your personally identifiable information,
we will notify you by e-mail using the e-mail address we have on file, so
it's important to keep this information current. If at any point we
would like to use your personally identifiable information in a manner
inconsistent with the applicable Privacy Policy, we will seek your
approval.
