Privacy policy of MENVI

This is to describe what we do with information collected from users and what it is used for. We hope you will take the time to read this document and if you have questions, contact the webmaster and I'll explain it.

Privacy policy updated as of May 5, 2008

1. Contact form:
• On our contact form, we ask for personal information such as First and Last Name, city, state, or province, country, Telephone Number, E-mail address, method of contact, and Comments. We will use the method of contact first such as E-mail. If we get a bounce, we will rely on your phone number. If it is invalid, then we discard the form with no further action on our part.
• We ask that if you are reporting something not working, that you report exactly where you are and what seems to be broken. We've gotten numerous reports of things not working such as signup, etc. and when checked, things seem to be working. This will help us if you're reporting a problem. We will attempt to ask where the problem is, and will try to work with you, but if you fail to communicate with us, we will discard the form and no further action will be taken on MENVI's part to help you unless you submit another form.
• If you'd rather call us yourself, a toll-free number is provided for you to call. Your telephone number is required now in case we can't get in contact with you. We will use the number to call you, then discard it until you contact us again. We will never share or disclose your telephone number with anyone for any reason here at MENVI. Anyone who is on staff who we find out violates this term will be fired by Jared Rimer.
• The toll-free number collects caller ID information. We check the caller ID logs just to have an idea of who's calling and where they're calling from. If you leave a message on the toll-free number, the caller ID information is sent to me along with your message. We'll use the ID to call you, then discard it unless you want us to keep it. If you decide for us to keep it, I'll ask for your first name, last name, and any contact telephone numbers you want me to have. SSI will not share any of this information with anyone for any reason at any time.
• The MENVI contact form is not used to spam us. We now track your IP and we also track the browser you are using, and any referrer information that may be passed to us. We have the capability of looking up the IP number and looking up where to send abuse complaints. MENVI is not responsible if this leads to termination of your Internet service with the ISP.
2. The MENVI Application:
• The MENVI application asks for information such as Name, Occupation, address, student if any, what instruments they play, and newsletter preference. This application is for your entrance in to MENVI. We put this information in to a roster, where other people can have access to it. If you want certain aspects of your information kept confidential, when filling out the application, please specify what you don't want published. The MENVI web site hosts the roster in a private downloads section as of April 2007. This is not accessed by the general public, and only registered members may gain access to this section. Read section 8 of this policy on what information we need from applicants who are interested in this.
• We now track your IP and we also track the browser you are using, and any referrer information that may be passed to us. We have the capability of looking up the IP number and looking up where to send abuse complaints. MENVI is not responsible if this leads to termination of your Internet service with the ISP.
3. Cookies:
• This web site does not save cookies to your computer. We do not track any information that is easily accessible to the general public. We may review server logs available to the domain, but there is no way for us to track an individual user through the site.
4. Files posted and links to other web sites:
• MENVI has an articles section which is for everyone to read. They are text files, and have been virus scanned before posting. MENVI does not have any harmful material on its website, and you may not hold MENVI, SCCM, or SSI responsible if your computer is damaged after leaving the MENVI domain.
• We have links to external web sites. These web sites may be to information pertaining to virus information, other web sites the web master is involved with, or web sites of other companies. You leave the MENVI domain when clicking on these sites. SSI, MENVI, and SCCM are not responsible for any errors on these pages.
5. E-mail lists:
• MENVI hosts three E-mail lists. They are a discussion list and an announcement list. Two are hosted on our domain, and one is hosted on a site called Topica. All they collect when you subscribe is your E-mail address which the form asks for. You can also click on the link that you want to subscribe to and it is pre-addressed. The lists on the domain point you to a form which asks for your name, E-mail address, and a password. They're hosted by Mailman. If you have any questions, contact the MENVI contact team.
6. Spam and viruses:
• It is against this policy that our members send you spam or junk mail. The E-mail accounts on MENVI are only used for communication with people, not to send out Spam or viruses. While we understand that Spam can originate if you have one of MENVI's E-mail addresses in your address book, know that we will investigate every report that may come in dealing with Spam or viruses and if the member with the account has definitely sent the message in question, we have the right to terminate the account.
7. Contacting other members
• We are encouraging everyone not to use any contact information that may be found on various parts of this web site to use that information to Spam or Virus any of our members. While we can't do anything about it unless you have an account with us, know that we can work with any member who contacts us to complain about it. The information is public, but it doesn't mean you can use the information to Spam our members with filth and hate and harmful material.
8. Our downloads section
• As of April 2007, we have launched a downloads section of the web site. This web site is hosted under a sub domain for members only. You need a user name and a password to access this section of the web site.
• Any account creations and/or account modifications will need to be done by telephone. no exceptions. This is for your protection in case you did not request this to be done. We will call you if you can't call us. Provide a valid telephone number and a good time for us to call you. If outside the United states, please give us where you live, and what time works for you. We will consult for a time difference to pacific time, although if you can do this, it will be much appreciated.
• We will send your user name and password upon creation of your account via E-mail with you on the phone. This is to protect your safety and to make sure you get it. We will ask you if you need us to send this information before we close the web page. Once we close the web page, we can't retrieve your password.
• This section of the web site has print and Braille versions of the roster, and newsletters starting with roster 11 and our upcoming news journal 25 when it becomes available.
• Storing files on our web server does not allow any member to use the information to send harmful material, spam, or solicit others, per this policy. This may include, but not limited to snail mail, E-mail, fax, phone, etc. Any member found to be doing this will have their account deleted and possible removal from our roster.
• MENVI can not retrieve your password, but we can retrieve your username. The only time we can retrieve your password is on account creation, see above for details. If a member has lost their password, you will need a password reset. Remember that you need to do this by telephone or have us call you. We will not engage in sending passwords via E-mail.
9. Database
• We have been creating a database since 2007 of all existing members who have signed up for online delivery via web or E-mail delivery. This database has now been completely updated, with all members we may have been missing.
• This database may time to time be sent to the members through their respected lists they are subscribed to so that they may be able to update their information.
• As indicated, there are two different lists one for each set of subscribers. You are only put on these lists if you indicate either web or E-mail delivery.
• The database has your name, your number (if available), your E-mail address, the type of delivery E-mail or web, and notations. These notations may be but not limited to your sign up date, any dates you update your info, any notations on how to dial your number if not clear, and anything else we may need to have on file for you.
• This database is not made available to print and braille readers, and is only shared with an outside source for list maintenance purposes to sync the two lists together to match the number of people I have as total.
• Online members may ask for a copy of this database upon request. They are not to share this database with friends, colleagues, etc. but to use it to look themselves up and make sure they are up to date with the way they need to be communicated with.
• If there is no phone number available for your entry, MENVI has the right to remove you without action should your E-mail address bounce through our list manager software.
• If we call you to notify you you have bounced, it is your responsibility to update your information through our online application. Should the software remove you before you update, your information is deleted from the database, and may be deleted from the roster.
