Vital Bytes Privacy Policy

Vital Bytes, Inc. is commited to conform to industry-standard norms and practices regarding privacy on line. It is our policy to not disclose our mailing lists to anybody. Our on-line stores utilize strong encryption. When we provide services to minors (i.e. students interested in seismic data), we do not solicit information that is not necessary to providing these services.

If you feel that we can do better on this issue, or if you have noticed a violation of best privacy practices on our site, please send us e-mail at info@vitalbytes.com and we will be happy to address the issue.

What else should I know about my privacy?

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example on message boards, through email, or in chat areas - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Furthermore, while we strive to protect your personal information, Vital Bytes, Inc. cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. In addition, Vital Bytes, Inc. partners and third party Internet sites and services accessible through Vital Bytes, Inc. or parties whom we inform you are collecting data in connection with sweepstakes, promotions, etc., have separate privacy and data collection practices, independent of us. Vital Bytes, Inc. has no responsibility or liability for these independent policies or actions. The point? You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.

Regarding your account for QuakeMap and other services

In order to use some of our services, you need to fill in a form and an account is created for you automatically. Please note: once an account is created, we will send you a confirmation email acknowledging your new account to the address that you supplied us. This email will give you the option to delete your account, in case you change your mind or in case you were not the one who created it in the first place. You should keep the confirmation email as it will also contain information that will help you in case you run into problems while accessing our services.
