We collect and store some or all of the following information about our users: name, email address,
as well as billing information, such as address, phone number and credit card number. If you do not
wish to have your credit card number stored, please contact us.
We also receive and may store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example,
like many websites, we use "cookies" to obtain certain types of information when your Web browser
accesses SOAHub.com.
In order to tailor our subsequent communications to you and continuously improve our products and
services (including registration), we may also ask you to provide us with information regarding your
personal or professional interests, demographics, experience with our products, and more detailed
contact preferences. You have the option of choosing not to provide us with this information.
USE OF DATA
XWebServices, Inc. uses your information to better understand your needs and provide you with better
service. Specifically, we use your information to help you complete a transaction, including fulfillment
of promotional offers, to communicate back to you, to update you on services and benefits, to personalize
our website for you, and to manage and renew your subscription. Credit card numbers are used only for
payment processing and fraud protection, and are not used for other purposes without your permission.
USE OF YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS
Primarily, we send service notifications via email to keep you informed about the status of your
service orders or accounts and to provide updates and technical notices. These messages are essential to
the maintenance of your subscription and the functionality of our services. Therefore there is no opt-out
available for service notifications and these messages cannot be blocked.
If you subscribed to the "SOAHub.com Newsletter", we will occasionally send you email with
recommendations or notices of new products, prices, and services. This email may include paid
advertisements from third parties. You may block future email of this type, simply by following the
instructions at the bottom of the update messages.
COOKIES
A cookie is a small text file that many websites write to your browser
when you visit them. A cookie can only be read by the site that places it, so
XWebServices, Inc. can't "see where you've been" based on any other cookies in your
browser. Netscape Navigator uses a single file called "cookies.txt" to record
all cookies, and you can open this file in any text editor to see what it looks
like. On a Macintosh computer, the Netscape cookie file is called "MagicCookie".
Internet Explorer uses a separate file for each cookie, which typically resides
in "C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files".
Much controversy and myth has been spread
about cookies, specifically that cookies "read or write information on your
computer's hard drive, and are therefore evil", or "cookies can find out where I
live and what my email address is".
Cookies are generally supported in version 3.0 and newer of Internet
Explorer, 2.02 and newer of Netscape, and 3.0 and newer of AOL. Most browsers
also allow the option of displaying a warning before accepting a cookie, or
refusing all cookies.
The information we collect with cookies is not sold, rented, or shared with any
outside parties. We cannot provide subscription services to users whose browsers are
set to reject all cookies.
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our site. These companies
may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single pixel gifs or web beacons) to
measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect via
cookies and action tags is non-personal and anonymous.
LOG FILES
