Privacy Policy

NavogationUpdates.com and NavMapUpdates.com are services of Geographic Enterprises, LLC.

At Geographic Enterprises (“GE”), we know how our customers and visitors like you value your privacy, and we have created this privacy policy to ensure that you understand our policies and procedures, what personal information you must provide if you wish to use the Site and, ultimately, just how we use such personal information. By using this Site, you accept these terms and consent to our collection, use, disclosure and storage of your personally identifiable and non-personal information as described above, and authorize the export of your personal information to the USA.

Information Collected By GE

GE collects two types of information from users of this website and the services offered on this Site (collectively, the “Site”): personal information described below; and non-personal information such as information about traffic patterns on GE.

Personal Information

Some personal data, including, for example, name, postal address and email address, are collected during your registration process. To access the entire Site, we will require you to register and select a user name and password. We may then ask for additional information, including personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information such as your business type, preferences, and how you were directed to this Site. Similarly, when you enter or respond to a contest, survey, sweepstakes or other promotional feature, we may ask you for your name, address and email address or other personal information. In addition, when you order a product or service through the Site, we may ask you for your name, address and email address or other personal information or credit card information in order to process your request.

How We Use Your Personal Information

GE uses the information collected, including personally identifiable information, for a variety of purposes. For example, we use your information to better understand your needs and provide you with better products and services. We may use your information to communicate back to you, to update you on products, services and benefits, to personalize the Site for you, to contact you for market research or to provide you with marketing information, newsletters, or other information we think would be of particular interest. We will always give you the opportunity to opt out of receiving such materials.

We may also share your personal information with our affiliates, technical consultants, third party auditors and other third parties who make our site available, enhance its functionality or provide associated services and/or who deal with you in processing your orders and/or delivering content, samples, products, services and gifts and prizes. Please note that we reserve the right to transfer your personally identifiable information and other information to our successors in business and purchasers of Site assets.

In addition, GE may share your personal information (including, to the extent permitted by law, any demographic information you provide to us like zip code, age, gender, preferences) with certain third parties with whom we do business (including, for example, our data providers and clients), so that such third parties can contact you regarding products, services, offers, or other information we think you will find valuable. These third parties may also use the information to generate aggregate reports and market research or for other purposes. We will always give you the opportunity to opt out of receiving such materials.

Information obtained through the Site may be intermingled with and used in conjunction with information obtained through sources other than the Site, including both offline and online sources.

On-line Purchases

Our Site uses various order forms for you to request information and other products and services. We collect contact information (such as your name, mailing and/or e-mail address), and when appropriate, financial information (such as your credit card number and its expiration date) to process your requests or purchases. Contact information from an order form may be used to fulfill orders, to get in touch with you when necessary regarding your order and for other purposes, such as to provide information about our company to you. Credit card information that is collected is used to process your request for products and services, and will not be shared with third parties who are not involved with the transaction (but we may share non-credit card information, such as information about which purchases you select, with third parties not involved in fulfilling your orders). When credit card information is transmitted, we use industry standard, SSL (secure socket layer) encryption.

Non-Personal Data

In some cases, we may collect non-personal information. Examples of this type of information include the type of internet browser you are using, the type of computer operating system application software, and peripherals you are using and the domain name of the web site from which you linked to our Site. We use your information on an aggregated basis to do such things as operate our site, enhance our site and sell and deliver advertising. We may share non-personal information with third parties for advertising, promotional and other purposes.
